    Hi Team December! Wow, first time logging in and 450+ notifications. :D Received the magic email last week. Piece of advice (although this has been given many times before) to all prospective applicants, it really pays to upload everything by the time you lodge. Tagal ng waiting time pag may CO contact pa. Anyway, updating the tracker:

    BTW guys, sa mga 190 applicants who lodged onshore like me, how do we know when is the latest that we need to move to move to the sponsoring state? Im currently in Melbourne VIC kasi right now pero my sponsoring state is NSW. Wala naman kasing conditions na nakalagay sa grant letter.

    Good luck sa ating lahat!

    Hi Guys! Maraming salamat po sa mga sagot at info niyo about sa question ko. May halo kasing excitement, panic at stress ang paghihintay.hehehe Kaya balak namin mag follow-up kahit isang beses lang. Balak ko na mag mag follow-up 1 week before mag 90days para malaman ko lang ang update ng VISA processing namin at iniisip ko para din ma recall ng DIBP o Assigned CO ang case ko.
    Thank you po. Good luck sa ating lahat sa OZ dreams natin. :D
