Thank you for the warm welcome! Di ko alam kung paano yung ginagawa nyong descriptions below your comments, sorry. Newbie lang haha! Bale 17 October ako naglodge ng 189. Onshore with my husband and yung baby namin nasa Pinas.
@StarJhan 4 years old na yung daughter ko. Nung 15 January sya nagmedical for current visa ko which is 457, sa Makati rin. muntik pa syang irefer sa developmental pedia kasi di sya nagsalita agad. sobrang nakiusap pa yung sister ko na kasama nya that time to give her chance pa. yung age nya kasi na yun 3years old dapat daw may certain number of words na na nasasabi. medyo di pa nga ganon na tuloy tuloy sya magsalita kaya sobrang concern ko yan this time. kaya nga ako naglodge agad kasi habulin ko sana na less than 12 months pa yung medical nya, pero di pa rin pala lusot, kelangan pa rin umulit ng medical plus IGRA or TST. Plan ko nga St. Lukes na lang. ok ba ang feedback doon for kids? good thing I read your post! Salamat ng marami!

Item 17 - Past addresses for the last 10 years
(Dito po kasi may clear instructions na yung gaps need isulat sa PartT nung form which means kapag di kasya dito yung addresses mo need mo add sa page 18 nung form, additional information)
Ang medyo naguguluhan po ako is yung Item 18 - Travel history for the last 10 years
(Wala po kasi 'NOTE' na need ilagay sa PartT yung additional information, does that mean na last 5 travels I had lang ang isusulat ko po?)
Paki sagot n lng po sa mga nakapag fillup na.. Thank you and God bless po sating lahat!

Item 17 - you need to list all your addresses for the past 10 years without gaps. Kung di kasya, ilagay mo sa Part T.
Item 18 - list all travels for the past 10 years kahit yung mga 1 day trips lang. (eg. SG-JB). Sa Part T ulit pag di kasya.

1. When and How can I start processing my NBI clearance and Medical test? Will the CO be the one to advice on the instructions? Or will there be instructions after I lodge?
2. Can I submit my application for Visa without the Certificate of English as a medium for my wife since processing takes 2 weeks from her school?
3. I assume the other National ID fields that you can fill up, they will ask for a copy? So it is ok if Birth Cert and Marriage Cert lang ilagay ko dun?
Thank you so much

1) You can process these 2 even before visa lodging. NBI - just indicate that it is for Australia Visa purposes. Medical - you need to generate your HAP ID by creating My Health Declaration on your immiaccount. You will then need to present this referral letter when you go to the clinic for medical.
2) Yes, you can do this. But based on others who got their Direct Grant, it is recommended to frontload most of your docs before a case officer is assigned to you, so you get better chances of DG. Otherwise, the CO will just request for the incomplete docs, and you might need to wait for some time for the Visa grant.
3) Yes, I just used BC and MC in my case.
Hope this helps.
