pero nagbago yung UI nila. and meron parang nakalagay na they cannot entertain follow ups unless its past due based on the processing times.
Praying na dumagsa ang grant this month, kasi pag inabot pa ng December maraming magbabakasyon na mga CO. Keeping my fingers crossed.

ang issue kasi nung manganak si misis sa junior ko d ako nakauwe from singapore kaya wala dun name ko nakapangalan sa kanya
ngayon inasikaso namin yung sa cityhall government services naman napakabagal magproseso actually naanticipate ko na to noon pa ewan ko ba bakit nagkamali before ayan hanggang sa inabot na kami.
nagpaadvise nalang kami sa CO na baka 2-3 weeks waiting time sana hindi abutin nang holiday kung hindi next year na visa hindi tuloy ako makapagplano in advance kung magreresign naba ako o hinde.
hays. Form 80 ko kumpleto na ito nalang talaga kulang ko birth cert na may pangalan ko para iprove na ako yung biological erpat
hindi ba pwedeng tignan nalang nila mukha nang anak ko kasi duplicate naman kami e mas pogi lang yung original hehe
kakainip yung naghihintay sa ganitong sistema hopefully may makarelate sa sitwasyon ko

Kami din nagiintay pa. Nagemail yung CO last week na kelangan namin ng partner ko pumunta sa AU High Commission dito sa SG for interview. Sabi nung agent consultant namin random check lang daw siguro to verify the authenticity of the relationship kaya nagprepare lang kami ng sangkatarbeng printout ng lahat ng papers namin.
Ok naman yung panayam.. mga 1 1/2 hrs akong tinanong but yung partner ko mga 30min. Naging honest lang kami sa mga sagot namin, mejo nakakailang nung una kasi same sex kami at worried ako na di sila ganun ka-open about it but it went well. Nakakatawa nga yung mga usapan kaya sana magkaron na ng balita.
02 Dec din naforward yung medical namin.. sana wala ng abirya kaso may scarring ako sa left lung kaya baka tumagal pa. haaaay gusto ko nadin magresign kaso kelangan kong siguruhin yung grant at baka sa pansitan ako pulutin hahaha

Woohoo! Congratulations batchmate! May target initial entry date ka na ba? Sobrang nakakagana pag nakakarinig ako na nadadagdagan ang mga nabibigyan ng visa grant sa ating September Batch!
@m0t0k0
Grabe batchmate, kaloka naman yung three times ka kinontact ng iba-ibang CO!
Pero I'm sure grant na ang sunod niyan!
@rohani99
Wow, very thorough talaga sila ha, may interview pang nalalaman! Pero batchmate ipagdadasal nating sana okay ang resulta ng medical mo!

Merong ibang cases na humihingi parin ng ibang documents after Form 80, so hindi natin masasabi eh. Case to case basis talaga siya.
