    Guys question again... Pwede ko ba malaman ung results ng medical exam ko? Pde ko ba un tanungin sa clinic?
    With our experience in pinas and here in oz, we never ask for our medical exams result, however we knew when something was wrong since the clinic asked us again to undergo this or that test....

    Oh ok. Thanks kuya.. :)
    no worries sis/bro...good luck to your application...God bless

    John 14:14

    Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

    Good luck to this new chapter of your life: OZ life. You should complete your incoming passenger card while you are still on the plane. Wifey said that these (passenger cards) are distributed while you are on board the plane...yes bring with you a copy of your visa grant....i think wala naman problema yong medyo may punit na part ng passport mo...ang mahirap pag yong bio data page of your passport ang may punit...yong ang mahalaga na bahagi ng passport mo....good luck to your fast approaching journey to OZ....just enjoy the rest of your time in pinas and don't worry too much on the coming days..God bless

    hello bro, if you will based it on this criteria, then your relative (uncle or aunt in pinas) does not qualify to be your sponsor:
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    The Assessment Level (AL) of the student determines how much funds need to be shown, who can provide these funds and how long these funds must be held. In order for the funds to be admissible they need to be held by an acceptable individual one who qualifies as someone whose income can provide for the visa applicant's education and living expenses.

    An acceptable individual; can be one or more of the following:

    (a) the applicant;
    (b) the applicant's spouse or de-facto partner;
    (c) a parent of the applicant;
    (d) a grandparent of the applicant;
    (e) a brother or sister of the applicant;

    (f) an uncle or aunt of the applicant who is:
    (i) an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident or an eligible New Zealand citizen; and
    (ii) usually resident in Australia.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    i further suggest go to IDP and double check with them since they are authority on this matter. They can assist you with regard to your urgent query. Good luck and God bless

    hi bro what i mean when i said authority is that sila ang mas marami alam dito kasi it is their job...nakatutuk sila dito...for us kasi dito we share most on our personal experiences and me myself, I don't consider myself as an expert when it comes to details kaya it is always beneficial for us to consult those who are experts like IDP....good luck bro....

    @junamarika11 share ko lang from what I've read sa forums all over :D

    1. even if you don't have the student visa, pwede ka magbook or bumili ng ticket, you need passport lang
    2. incoming passenger card usually is given sa plane during the flight, pero you can get naman once you arrive sa airport
    3. better verify with dfa or bi para sure
    4. i don't recommend cebupac , if you will add up all the addons sa cebupac, there is a little difference of amount lang sa pal airline fee.. better get pal or sq or qantas(have not tried this airline yet)
    5. afaik, passport, your visa grant (not sure about cfo sticker for your husband as he is your dependent, try to give a call to CFO to verify)
    6. If he is your dependent as you've mentioned, hindi na sya considered as tourist.. but i think he will need a CFO sticker before he is allowed to leave ph.. check the thread for things you need to do before going to australia for further infos:

    Hey everyone!
    I would just like to share my experience in processing my visa application subclass 573.

    Sept 15, na received ng immigration Pero wala kami nareceive na acknowledgment email/letter from them, tumawag ako sa hotline number nila kaya ko nalaman. Sept 21 2015 Dapat intake ko dun, I even asked my university for extension and they grant my request until Oct 2...

    I was advised by my agency and did some research as well na ang processing is 14-21 business days. Few days before mag Oct 2 nag book na ako ng flight even without hearing anything from the immigration.unfortunately, di pa din Lumabas yung result that week.

    2weeks ago, we received an email from the immigration saying my application was transferred and being processed in Jakarta, Indonesia. Akala ng agency ko may problema ako sa immigration ng Indonesia since I declare that na napuntahan ko na bansa for the past 5 yrs. My case officer then informed us that the reason why is because I personally know an immigration officer here in Manila.

    My case officer in Indonesia only asked for my new C.O.E. Yun lang. Walang show money, wala din phone interview.

    And today, I received my visa grant =)))). Nilakasan ko na loob ko na directly email my case officer just this morning, wala pang 2 hrs nagreply agad siya sabi nya Nov 17 pa daw na grant visa ko, Pero wala talaga ako o yung agency ko natanggap.

    Kaya dun sa mga iba na naghihintay, wag kayo matakot tumawag sa immigration. Ako halos very week natawag ako after nung 21 days na processing time frame nila natigil lang yun nung nalaman ko na na transfer application ko sa Indonesia.

    Keep praying guys!! Wag kayo mawalan ng pagasa, ako almost 3 mos bago ko malaman ngayon na visa grant ako =)))

    God bless us all!! =)))

    @appledeuce tama ka. tinawagan ako ng representative ng university ko yesterday Nov 30 to nominate between my agents (IDP or AMS). Prior to my bad experience, I would've chosen IDP talaga but assuming na may bad blood na between my 1st counselor and me (since i had to complain to a 2nd counselor.) I chose AMS na para hindi na kami awkward. Helpful din naman yung agent sa AMS and i felt more taken care of sa kanila. May response sa Emails and text messages compared to my 1st.

    Naawa nga din naman ako sa counselor ko sa IDP kaso hindi din nila ako na asikaso ng maayos eh. Imagine October 23 pa ako ng submit. Today is Dec 1. I went to AMS last Nov 27, and sabay na nila na forward yung application ko. :(

    But kahit back to step 1. Thankful na ako. When I checked my university website. I can track my application na. :)

    “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9“Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10“Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!"
