Wow, super sulit ang 6k mo! Sa Sydney ka ba maglaland, batchmate? So far sa PAL 20k yung regular na price... sana bumaba rin siya. Walang direct flight from Manila to Brisbane eh.
@thegreatiam15
Hindi mo rin masabi kasi whether Team Adelaide or Team Brisbane, iba-iba talaga yung grant date eh. Minsan nauuna yung Team Brisbane, minsan naman Team Adelaide. Anyway, ako 90 days total bago na-approve ang grant since lodgement date.

kaso hindi tinanggap yung annotated birth certificate nang anak ko
anyone experienced this? yung surname kasi ni little boy nakapangalan sa anak ko illegitimate siya nung pinanganak.
pinaayos nanamin for his legitimacy pero annotated lang may kelangan daw iinsert na form A1 to prove na ako yung biological father kasi yung annotation ayon sa civil registry yun na daw yun.
need lang daw iinsert yung form na yun para sa birth cert kasama para iacknowledge nang case officer.
pero hindi ko pa yan sure sana may makarelate sa current situation ko : (

maraming salamat sa advise meron bang proper format yung letter or I could write it myself the way I wrote our essays nung IELTS exam HEHEHE
Form A1 lang wala samin

about sa Form A1 na magpa red ribbon, I'm not sure about that pero ok lang siguro na hindi naka notarized or redribbon. If colored naman yung Form A1 at may letterhead or something baka ok na yun. basta if nag scan ka dapat colored din.

1. Nagemail CO nung Nov 24 pinapatawag kami for interview. Mga 1.5hrs ang tinagal ko sa loob kasama ng 2 CO pero casual lang yung interview and more on verifying the authenticity ng relationship namin ni partner. After ko, si gf naman pero mga 30 min lang siya sa loob. Wala na kami balita after nun hehe
2. Jan 06 pinadalahan kami ng Form 815 to completr. kakabigay ko lang sa agent namin, sana grant naman na ang kasunod, ang dami ng kaganapan sa timeline ko hehe.
Goodluck sa ating lahat, intay lang tayo
