November 2015 - Visa 189/190

mariem · December 2015

Naka holiday mode na siguro ang mga CO.

kaizer23 · December 2015

Guys tanong ko Lang, after mglodge for ss sa nsw, gaanu katagal usually bago makareceive ng invitation? Salamat

mgt21 · December 2015

hello sa mga November batch, we just finished our medical at Nationwide last week. So far ang nakikita ko is eMedical is:

707 HIV test Incomplete Nationwide Health Systems AUX Inc
502 Chest X-ray Examination Completed Nationwide Health Systems AUX Inc
501 Medical Examination Incomplete Nationwide Health Systems AUX Inc

saan ba nakikita yung over-all status ng medical and kelan masasabi na ok na and wala ng further test needed. We have not lodge pa pala, wait namin ma-clear lahat.

thanks!

@mgt21 if may incomplete pa, ibig sabihin di pa nila nauupload ung test na un. pwede ka mag-follow up sa clinic. since may na-upload na sila, they might be working on it or natabunan ng ibang papers.

from the online lodgement page, (if you have already lodge), meron dun "View Health Assessment". If ok na medical mo, nakalagay dun, "Health Clearance Provided - no action required". if hindi pa nauupload or di pa narereceive ng DIBP ung medical, "Examination in Progress". Pag referred ung case sa BUPA/MOC, "Ready for Assessment". Backread ka na lang, may nagpost dito ng link ng mga status. madami pa kasing health status depende sa case. Yan lang ung mga naencounter namin personally. not sure ako san makikita ung overall status if nauna medical before lodge. wait natin ung ibang gumawa nun dito.

Hi batchmates, nagpamedical na kami ni hubby, pero may konting problem. I am 4 weeks pregnant and my OB has advised not to undergo X-Ray. Hindi ako nakapag pa-xray pero the doctor told me na yung medical result ko will be put on hold kase hindi pa kumpleto dahil sa X-ray. Marerelease lang nila yung result once na nakapag xray na ko.. Panu yun??? Kung after delivery na ako pwede magpa-xray ibig ba sabihin naka-hold yung application namin ni hubby till my delivery? Pa-advise naman po.. ang hirap kasi kausap nung doktor na nagcheck sa kin, hindi nya inexplain ng mabuti..tapos parang nagmamadali pa.. Hindi naman namin inaasahan ni hubby na mappreggy ako.

We had our medical at Nationwide Makati.

Thank you in advance sa mga sasagot.

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@imketket wow. Congrats!

hehe. Looks like, on-hold nga medical mo until delivery. You may contact your CO to discuss your situation. It might be good if you can call them after the holiday break. Hindi ko lang sure ano contact number nila.

first of all congratulations!

eto ung nakta kong relative posts on ur concern;

eto din ung nasa form 160 ng DIBP
http://www.border.gov.au/forms/Documents/160.pdf

Pregnant visa applicants and the chest x-ray requirement

The department does not recommend that a pregnant visa applicant undergoes a chest x-ray. This is because there is a risk that a chest x-ray could harm the unborn child. It is
recommended that a pregnant visa applicant defers her chest x-ray, and therefore the decision on her visa application, until after the child’s birth.
A pregnant visa applicant should firstly contact the department to discuss her options, including the possible deferral of her visa application. If you decide to defer the chest x-ray until after the child’s birth .A pregnant visa applicant should advise the department if she
decides to defer her chest x-ray until after the child’s birth. If you are prepared to undergo a chest x-ray while pregnant .If a pregnant visa applicant is prepared to undergo a chest
x-ray, it is recommended that she consults with her doctor before arranging her appointment for a chest x-ray and that special precautions are taken (eg. using a protective lead shield and waiting until at least the second trimester). A pregnant visa applicant must sign the declaration on page 4 before undergoing a chest x-ray. Undergoing a chest x-ray does not guarantee the grant of a visa. The result of the chest x-ray must be found to be normal. Where a chest x-ray shows abnormalities, the visa applicant may be asked to undergo more specific tests and a course of treatment.

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@jkk32w oo nga mukang vacation break na sila. mga taga sagot ng telepono na lang ata tao nila sa office. hahaha. hindi na nga din ako nagchecheck ng email or immiaccount e. tambay na lang dito pantagal inip. haha

Nagstart na si misis ng sputum collection. 1st day nya kanina. 4:30am sya dumating pero may pila na. haha. So I guess, madami kagaya namin nadefer dahil sa xray. 2 mornings to go pa sputum collection nya, until Wednesday.

ironman_gray22 · December 2015

@OZwaldCobblepot actually sabi sa mga forums na nabasa ko 4-8 weeks ang timeline nila. I'm praying na this month yung grant pero sabi ko nga in GOD's perfect timing. Mahaba na rin ang paghihintay namin eh. Pero sa inyo sir I will pray na maging okay ang lahat.

kaizer23 · December 2015

Guys Sino dito po ung 190 ss sa nsw? After received ITA and mglodge, gaanu po katagal ung waiting for invitation ? Salamat

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@ironman_gray22 tagal din pala no? I hope kung di man Christmas dumating yung sa inyo, early January para maganda pasok ng taon nyo

Keep in touch po para may idea kami gano katagal. hehe mukang form 815 din irerequest sa min after maclear medical ni misis.

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@kaizer23 I been reading your question sa multiple thread. No need to flood po, if you'll notice, konti lang active members recently, ung iba lurkers pa. hehe. Maybe members who know the answer to your question is offline.
I didn't apply for visa 190 but to answer your question, no one really knows exact date/timeline for SS. napansin ko din sa ibang forums na iba iba din ung timeline nila. So you don't have a choice but to wait and be patient. especially ngayon, na holiday break na NSW SS until January 4 (if i'm not mistaken). Just enjoy the holidays po muna.

you may also check other forums (foreign) para makita mo trend ng SS application. Goodluck po sa inyo.

mgt21 · December 2015

for those na nag-lodge na, how much yung initial payment, yung primary applicant lang ba? or lahat na with dependents na? thanks!
meron ba nag-credit card payment here na mababa yung credit limit tas nag overpayment na lang at hindi declined? bigla akong nag-panic because of this kasi nag-overpayment lang ako sa cc para macover yung payment needed for lodgement.
thanks!

full payment po primary and dependents

u cn check this thread for payment related issues/concerns

http://pinoyau.info/discussion/1898/how-did-you-paid-for-online-visa-application/p2

mariem · December 2015

@mgt21 We paid for the primary and dependents, nag overpayment ka na sa cc mo? You should contact your bank to inform them about your upcoming transaction para walang maging problem. I was asking them before if pwede mag over pay and for my cc but they couldn't guarantee this is BPI not sure if okay with BDO and the rest of the bank.

mgt21 · December 2015

@mariem, yes planning to use BPI as well, they cannnot guarantee nga.

how did you pay yours pala? if BPI, nag-proceed ba? thanks!

mariem · December 2015

Hindi kami nag BPI nag Unionbank EON ako.

mariem · December 2015

@mgt21 Ang gagawin mo lang once you applied for EON Card magrequest ka na kaagad ng increase in daily transaction that will cover the full payment of your visa application.

ironman_gray22 · December 2015

@ironman_gray22 tagal din pala no? I hope kung di man Christmas dumating yung sa inyo, early January para maganda pasok ng taon nyo Keep in touch po para may idea kami gano katagal. hehe mukang form 815 din irerequest sa min after maclear medical ni misis.

For sure hihingan rin kayo ng form 815. After ng sputum and culture test malamang manghingi pa ng x-ray result. Sorry to say pero need mo muna antayin na hingin ni CO yung form 815 before mo ilodge kaya medyo matagal. Sana nga early January, kasi plan ko feb or mar mag initial entry. Keep in touch.

mgt21 · December 2015

thanks @jkk32w @mariem for those information!

sabay ko na din yung question ko re: medical, yung additional test ba if ever, sa DIBP na manggagaling? kasi bukas daw iforward ni Nationwide sa DIBP mga kelan kaya kami ma-iinform if may mga need pang test? thanks po.

ironman_gray22 · December 2015

@mariem, yes planning to use BPI as well, they cannnot guarantee nga. how did you pay yours pala? if BPI, nag-proceed ba? thanks!

I paid using bpi cc. nag overpay ako and nagadjust naman yung credit limit ko.

mgt21 · December 2015

@ironman_gray22 sobrang thank you for answering my question.

aside sa waiting kami sa medical result, nag-panic din ako regarding online payment. that's good to know kasi sayang miles, if ever.

ironman_gray22 · December 2015

sure no problem. Malaki yan kaya malaki yung points. I compute mo yung remaining credit limit mo (e.g. 30K + additional lodge payment). Or kung wala ka naman need isettle yung cost ng visa. Goodluck.

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@ironman_gray22 yep ganun nga. pag na-clear ung medical nya, waiting game for CO's advice. tapos after ibigay ung form 815, waiting game uli. haha. oh well, sana by that time, mabilis sila magrespond. thanks sir!

mariem · December 2015

@mgt21 maraming beses kasi akong nagpupurchase ng big amount using my cc and if I used it at nag over lang ako ng 1k automatically nadedecline kaya we opted for EON. Mahirap na kasi we are a family of 5 kaya medyo malaki ang visa application payment required from us.

tiggeroo · December 2015

@OZwaldCobblepot bumalik na to examination in progress health status ko, pero wala pang email from BUPA, meron na din nadagdag na 603 respiratory test ung emedical form, ito na po ba ung sputum test? Saan po pwede makakuha ng contact details ng BUPA to followup? Thanks!

OZwaldCobblepot · December 2015

@tiggeroo yes. kung 603 yan, regarding Current state of Tuberculosis yan. Sputum test and repeat xray after ~3months. But not necessarily may TB ka. There were findings lang sa xray which automatically trigger Bupa/MOC to request sputum test.

You may email: [email protected]

include mo sa email mo:

Full Name
HAP ID
Passport Number
And a brief description of your issue.

They usually reply the next day. Not sure lang ako ngayon since holiday week na. Try mo na lang din. And I suggest, call St. Luke's na to inform them para makapag pa sched ka na ng slot mo sa St. Luke's Ermita. Next available slot is January 4, 5 and 6. Prepare Php8,213, unfortunately mas mahal sya sa whole medical exam fee. 6am - 8am lang sputum collection. kami ni misis, pumupunta ng 4:30am mismo sa SLEC Ermita. kasi as early as 4:30am may pila na. But the process is quick lang. the collection starts at 5:45-6am, then 30mins lang tapos na if nasa bandang unahan ka ng pila. My wife is on her 2nd day na. last day na nya tomorrow and so far wala naman kami naging issue aside sa mahirap maglabas ng plema kung wala ka naman ubo. hehe.

tiggeroo · December 2015

Thanks so much @OzwaldCobblepot! Mukhang no chocolates for me ngayong holidays season para walang ubo or sakit for the lab tests. Sabay tayo maghihintay, goodluck to us!
