Kailan ba start ng uni mo dapat? Kasi ako September and pina-prioritize nila yung off shore na malapit na ang start date ng school kahit na nakalagay sa immi na ang processing time ng onshore visa applicants is just 14 days.
Oo may case na paiba-iba sinasabi ng mismong immi kaya 3x na ako tumawag to be sure and kaya andito ako sa forum hehe .... Nung tumawag ako immi sinabi ko na mag-apply ako 189 while I have student visa on going, hindi ko pa man tinanong binalaan na ako na maoOverride nga daw.
@n_nicee thanks you sa effort! Yup substantive visa ang student. Congrats sa visa mo..
The thing is, you can only hold 1 visa at a time and PR is still a visa.

Nacontact ka ba sa student?
Base sa timeline ng student visa processing mo eh malamang kailangan maghintay pa ako at least bandang mid-Aug bago maApprove. September 19 start ng Masters ko.

Numg nagwithdraw ka binigyan ka ba ng bagong letter regarding sa bridging visa.
May dalawa akong pending na bridging visa. 1 from student. 1 from 189. Both BVA and both will start when my current visa expires which is on the 21st of October.
Or nung nagApply ka 189, yung bridging visa na binigay sayo C na agad to give way for BVA of student?

Hindi pa pala expired yung current visa mo...kaya may 2 pending kang Bridging visa. Yung Bridging visa mo ng student magttake effect lang yun pagkaexpire ng current visa mo.
Bridging Visa C from 189 visa yung naibigay sa amin kasi wala na kaming substantive visa nung nagapply kami ng PR. Ang meron lang eh yung BVA from our student visa application. Okay lang naman yung BVC namin kasi may full work rights pa rin, wala nga lang travel rights. Nagtake effect lang yung BVC namin 28 days from the withdrawal date of student visa.
