shela_79_02 · October 2015

Congratulations to the newly visa holders @homer363 and @rhycka!

Hoping ours will be next.

God's time is the best time!

happy_gal · October 2015

@shela_79_02 yes we just need to be patient.

chachi24 · October 2015

@shela_79_02 sis bakit nag ask pa po sila ng form 40sp sa inyo di po kayo nag submit nun nung nag lodge kayo?

happy_gal · October 2015

@chachi24 40sp is lodge together with 47sp or else the vfs or IMMI will not acknowledge ur visa application

chachi24 · October 2015

@happy_gal oo nga po e kaya po nagulat ako sa nakalagay sa signature nya na nag request immi ng form 40sp

rhycka · October 2015

Hi po sa lahat. Granted na po ang visa ko pero we need to change my husbands address kasi lumipat na sila ng ibang bahay. Ano po gagawin

shela_79_02 · October 2015

@chachi24 and @happy_gal. Kala ni partner kasi ok na ung form na pina fill up sa kanya sa online. Pero may acknowledgement namin na binigay si IMMI after ko masubmit nung june 16.

Any approvals here?

Nikkicagu · November 2015

Hi, there everyone..
I'm a newbie here.. Anyhow, My husband emailed the embassy on October 5, 2015 to ask whether I still need to submit any documents or not.. October 12, they replied saying "Our records indicate that your application is progressing. All submitted documents have been considered and there are no outstanding documents needed from your end at this stage in the assessment." and "Please wait for advice from your case officer should a decision be forthcoming. Once the decision has been finalised, it will be communicated to the applicant immediately."

I'm dying to be with my husband.. We've been in a long distance relationship for almost 3 years now, though he visits me twice a year but its still different.

Who else submitted their application around May or June? Any news?? Hoping to hear the good news very soon.. **fingers crossed

Nikkicagu · November 2015

@shela_79_02 hi.. ask ko lang po any news po about your visa? Thank you

rambuu · November 2015

You're not alone in your situation @Nikkicagu. We've been waiting for almost 10months. Been to Aus back and forth - same with my husband he's been visiting here twice a year. More patience

Nikkicagu · November 2015

@rambuu do you have any idea if its possible to apply for a tourist visa while my application for subclass 309 is processing? Thanks

joy_j · November 2015

@Nikkicagu exactly the same ang reply nila sa husband ko. Feb applicant naman ako. So hintay hintay lng tlga.

Nikkicagu · November 2015

@joy_j kaya nga po.. hehe. Thanks. Anyways po, goodluck po sa atin

shunix · November 2015

@Nikkicagu yes you can definitely apply. My husband has been approved for tourist while waiting for 309 visa

Nikkicagu · November 2015

@shunix Cool, thanks for the info.. upon reading the posts here, the average of granting a visa here in Phils is 10 months, yeah?

rambuu · November 2015

@Nikkicagu Yes you can apply tourist visa while still waiting for your PV. They will email you anyway to return to Philippines before they grant your PV subclass 309 application. We can't really tell the exact month when our visa will be granted because every case is different. But if you look at other's timeline, yes mostly it's around 10months. The maximum I know is 13 months of waiting til its granted - so we can't really tell. Let's just wait and pray it gets granted and it will come out asap. Goodluck to all of us! Cheers.

shela_79_02 · November 2015

@nikkicagu no update or anything from IMMI yet. It is frustrating but we are hoping the good news will be soon. I will be visiting my partner next month and will be using my tourist visa. But we are hoping the partner visa will be granted before my flight so I can start using.

Nikkicagu · November 2015

@rambuu @shela_79_02 Thank you for the help.. Yeah, might apply for a tourist visa and spend holidays with him..

Goodluck to us!

don2 · November 2015

hi newbie here! anyone dito na naging CO si Julieta?

chachi24 · November 2015

@don2 Hello po! PMV applicant po ako, I think siya po ang CO ko kasi nung nag email po ako kanila nung September to check if okay lang na lumagpas na yung date ng wedding namin na nakalagay sa NOIM, siya po yung nagreply sakin at sa fiance ko kaya sabi ko baka sya nga yung CO ko pero di naman po sya nag bigay ng status sa application ko. Never po kasi nag email sakin ang immigration kahit tungkol sa requirements kaya nung nagworry ako, ako na mismo nag email sakanila. Kamusta po sya as CO?

don2 · November 2015

@chachi24 sya yung nag interview sa akin via phone. 1st week of november lang and shes asking for additional requirments. Meron akong immig agent nag handle ng application ko.

chachi24 · November 2015

@don2 Ayy may interview pa po sa phone yung sa iyo? Whaa. June ka po nag lodge diba? Tapos November lang sya nanghingi ng additional requirements. Ang tagaaaal

Sana mabilis naman po sya mag approve.

don2 · November 2015

@chachi24 advice ng agent ko is abutin ng 10 months kc madami daw applicant ngayun, pero nag apply na ako ng tourist visa nitong end of october while on process yung subclass 309 ko.

happy_gal · November 2015

We just need to be patient at darating din yun araw na magrant mga PV visa natin. But hoping here na sana between 9-12mos. My hubby counting the days,he put in his mind 9mos. Lol I told him just wait. I read from other forums na may priorities daw sa pag grant ng visa? Depende sa status ng sponsor?
