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.

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.

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

http://www.visaaustralia.com.au/migration-news/character-requirement-visa-applications/ I think it is really up to the case officers if they will pass your husband sa character test. No guarantees.

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
