  oo! ung flights ung mas concern ko kasi plano ko mag IED ng april dahil may event din sa OZ. eh sa lagay na to, baka mapilitan pa ako mag apply ng visitor visa haha
  

  @prcand naku sir hindi pwede may 2 open applications sa immiaccount at a given time. ako naman baliktad, di kami nakalodge agad ng 189 kasi may pending tourist visa application kami upon invitation so inantay pa namin na ma withdraw un before makalodge ng 189. mahirap na kung ung pr ang ma-withdraw just for a visitor visa diba, antayin mo nalang hehe expert na nga ako sa paghihintay hahaha

  @tiggeroo this reminds me...i have an existing tourist visa which is valid pa until sept 2016...pwede pa naman ito gamitin until magrant yung 189 visa? Ang worry ko lang kung gamitin ko sya soon baka naman bigla magrant si 189 and icancel yung tourist visa while im travelling...not sure if anyone has previous experience like this...

  @tigerlily applications po ang hindi pwede sabay. kung granted na tourist visa mo at the time of lodgement, and hindi mo nakita ung pop-up warning that doesn't allow you to proceed, okay na un.
