@mgt21 Depende siya sa deadline/validity ng PCC or Medical mo. Kung alin man mas mauna.
For example, July 2015 ako kumuha ng PCC tapos valid siya hanggang 31 July 2016, so yung deadline ng initial entry ko ay no later than 31 July 2016.

@mgt21 PCC is Police Clearance Certificate for short. Kung galing sa Pilipinas, NBI Clearance yun.
@m0t0k0 Woop woop! Ayan ang bunga ng ating patience, batchmate! Congratulations on your grant! May target entry date ka na?
@Liolaeus Ayyy ganun ba? Oh well... basta makarating tayo lahat sa finish line! Hehe. At least for now, marami pa kayong time mag-ipon bago makapag-migrate.

Ui, pareho tayo ng state na balak puntahan. May 2016 ang planned IED ko if ma grant. Kita kits!
hello September batch ako po ay ngapply nung August pero lahat ng batchate ko e graduate na. :P sadly after 4 months, wala paring balita ang visa application ko. My husband called DIBP office, and once ngemail rin ako sa CO. both times ang reply lang e under processing and if we need more documents we will contact you (which they never did ask for more docs). Now usually napapahaba lang ang visa processing if they do background checks, and since i didnt claim any points for work experience, tingin ko ang snscrutinize nila ngayon ang character assessment ng husband ko.
On the last day of visa invitation validity, hndi pa dumarating ung UK PCC ni husband so ang linagay ko lang sa visa application form e ung mga alam ko which is battery and damage to property. Alam kong my drunk driving charge siya pero akala ko dahil traffic violation un hndi kasama sa convictions. Anyway pagdating ng UK PCC niya two weeks after visa lodgment inupload namin un and nung hiningi ng CO ung FORM 80 niya sinulat ko lahat ng convictions niya dun pati ung drunk driving.
My husband's convictions/cautions/warnings list a bit long pero feeling ko hndi pa naman pang criminal na mgcacause ng visa rejection. Handling stolen goods, battery, sending false message that caused anxiety, disorderly behaviour, damage to property at yung drink driving. Pero nung nguusap kami ni husband about these things last week, nasabi nia na nung unang visa applciation niya for working holiday visa hindi niya dineclare na may convictions siya at all kasi un ung sabi ng migration agent niya nun. Na hndi naman daw significant no need to declare. Naturally sa incoming passenger card niya hndi rin niya sinabing may convictions siya.
I actually emailed this to my CO. Mas mabuti ng samin manggaling kesa makakuha nalang kami ng rejection email. E kaya lang wala pang email so eto nangangatog sa kakahintay. Ano tingin niyo guys? Has anyone heard of a similar case before? Acutally mas natatakot pa ako dun sa fact na hndi siya ngdeclare ng convictions before, kesa dun sa mismong convictions kasi sa UK kumembot ka lang ng onti mapaaway ganyan irereprimand ka na kagad ng police at bibigyan ng caution or warning. Anyway I would really love to hear your input. Also thinking of getting a migration agent just to get professional advice. If anyone can recommend a MARA agent dito sa Quezon City or Manila i'd really appreciate the recommendation. Thanks

@perthling Sorry to hear that. May nabasa ko na if nakulong ng 12 months or more, mas malaki chance na ma deny. Pero meron din daw nag serve ng 5 years in prison pero na grant. hmm..
-You have been sentenced to a term of imprisonment for 12 months or more; -You have been sentenced to two or more terms of imprisonment, where the total of those terms is 2 years or more; -You have been acquitted of an offence of the grounds of unsoundness of mind or insanity and you have been detained in a facility or institution on that basis; -You have been convicted of any offence that was committed while in immigration detention, during an escape from immigration detention, during a period where you escaped from immigration detention, or if you have been convicted of the offence of escaping from immigration detention -You have, or have had, a criminal association with an individual, group or organisation suspected of having been, or being, involved in criminal conduct
If you answer ‘yes’ to any of the above, you will not pass the character test.
You will also fail the character test if your general or criminal conduct means there is a significant risk that you will:
-Engage in criminal conduct in Australia; or -Harass, molest, intimidate or stalk another person in Australia; or -Vilify a segment of the Australian community; or -Incite discord in the Australian community or in a segment of that community; or -Represent a danger to the Australian community or to a segment of that community
I think it is really up to the case officers if they will pass your husband sa character test. No guarantees.

@Liolaeus lahat ng convictions ni mister ay puro fines lang tapos once ngcommunity service siya. no jail time so I think he still passes the character test. Nagfill out na ako ng Form 1023 para mabago ung incomplete answers ko sa online visa application regarding his convictions. Linista ko na lahat at ngexplain nrn ako bkit hindi complete ung una kong answer.
I've heard from people mas malaking concern ung hndi niya pag declare sa convictions nia sa dati niyang visa application kesa sa kung ano ung conviction nia mismo. I've already emailed the case officer about this mas okay nang manggaling samin kesa malaman nila sa iba tapos ireject nalang kami basta basta. Honest mistake naman sa part ng husband ko kasi diba pag narinig mong conviction iisipin mo kagad serious crime.
@VicThor thanks sa referral I will contact them today
In the end asa CO narin un kung anong tingin niya sa severity ng convictions, and ung sa failure to declare them on a previous application. Anyway thanks for the input guys
LiolaeusBrisbane, Australia Posts: 413Member Joined: Dec 06, 2014
@perthling Greater chance since walang jail time. Thorough background check lang siguro yan kaya matagal. Tama din yung pag correct mo ng answers at explanation. Kelangan lang siguro nila ng time pag aralan. Good luck! Darating din yan soon.
@perthling based from ur timeline, you have submitted the docs on oct 22. Maybe, they are still reviewing it. Kami nung oct 24 pa namin na submit lahat ng docs and wala pa uli feedback. Case to case basis. Just give them time to review darating din yan Congrats sa mga na receive ng Visa!

hi @leolaeus and @rocky2013, thank you sa encouragement. Nagcoconsult narin kami sa mga migration agent ngayon. Basically ang sabi we've done all we can so far and depende nalang tlaga sa CO kung anong tingin nila sa convictions ni mister. Kung malala talaga, they will give us chance to explain and prove them wrong, or withdraw. Asking for all your prayers guys :')

PCC is Police Clearance Certificate for short. Kung galing sa Pilipinas, NBI Clearance yun.

On the last day of visa invitation validity, hndi pa dumarating ung UK PCC ni husband so ang linagay ko lang sa visa application form e ung mga alam ko which is battery and damage to property. Alam kong my drunk driving charge siya pero akala ko dahil traffic violation un hndi kasama sa convictions. Anyway pagdating ng UK PCC niya two weeks after visa lodgment inupload namin un and nung hiningi ng CO ung FORM 80 niya sinulat ko lahat ng convictions niya dun pati ung drunk driving.
My husband's convictions/cautions/warnings list a bit long pero feeling ko hndi pa naman pang criminal na mgcacause ng visa rejection. Handling stolen goods, battery, sending false message that caused anxiety, disorderly behaviour, damage to property at yung drink driving. Pero nung nguusap kami ni husband about these things last week, nasabi nia na nung unang visa applciation niya for working holiday visa hindi niya dineclare na may convictions siya at all kasi un ung sabi ng migration agent niya nun. Na hndi naman daw significant no need to declare. Naturally sa incoming passenger card niya hndi rin niya sinabing may convictions siya.
I actually emailed this to my CO. Mas mabuti ng samin manggaling kesa makakuha nalang kami ng rejection email. E kaya lang wala pang email so eto nangangatog sa kakahintay. Ano tingin niyo guys? Has anyone heard of a similar case before? Acutally mas natatakot pa ako dun sa fact na hndi siya ngdeclare ng convictions before, kesa dun sa mismong convictions kasi sa UK kumembot ka lang ng onti mapaaway ganyan irereprimand ka na kagad ng police at bibigyan ng caution or warning. Anyway I would really love to hear your input. Also thinking of getting a migration agent just to get professional advice. If anyone can recommend a MARA agent dito sa Quezon City or Manila i'd really appreciate the recommendation. Thanks

I've heard from people mas malaking concern ung hndi niya pag declare sa convictions nia sa dati niyang visa application kesa sa kung ano ung conviction nia mismo. I've already emailed the case officer about this mas okay nang manggaling samin kesa malaman nila sa iba tapos ireject nalang kami basta basta. Honest mistake naman sa part ng husband ko kasi diba pag narinig mong conviction iisipin mo kagad serious crime.
@VicThor thanks sa referral I will contact them today
In the end asa CO narin un kung anong tingin niya sa severity ng convictions, and ung sa failure to declare them on a previous application. Anyway thanks for the input guys
