    Hi @jigs88. congrats may CO ka na! wooohooo!!!

    about sa question mo sa country of residence, once na grant ka na wala na sila pakealam kung saan ka tumira and importante lang ay ung IED mo at ung expiration ng visa. kahit ano naman mangyari sa australia ka pa din titira. Kelangan lng sila inform pag may mga nabago sa pangalan mo or nag-renew ka ng passport kasi ung visa mo ay naka-base sa recent passport mo at pangalan mo.

    goodluck! malapit na yan!

    Hi guys, I started answering questions sa Immi account 2 days ago then logged out but I clicked the save button before that. When I logged in today, I can't find my application. Do I need to go back to Skill Select and click Apply visa button again?

    @jillpot tanong naman pls ano ang duration na maupdate ang VEVO with your new passport details once maemail mo yuny 929 email address?

    i'm to renew this december and planning to do PDOS early january. sana ang "express" passport is really "express" na 7days ah!

    question na din pls sa mga nakapag PDOS na - pano uli ang verification ng CFO na ang tatatakan nilang passport is yung may visa? against VEVO ba? or dahil ba pinapadala ang grant letter? in which case magkakaissue kaya with CFO na di nila mamatch ang newer passport ko with the one in the VEVO or grant letter?

    bro, yung sa akin hindi ako nag email sa [email protected]. Ang ginawa ko lang is clinick ko yung "Update Us" na link dun sa immiaccount. After 5 minutes nag reflect na sa vevo when I used my new passport number.

    Ang tatatakan ng CFO sticker is yung newly issued passport mo. Once makuha mo na yung new passport mo, bubutasan na nila yung luma eh.

    Pls help guys. Nag eerror ang Unionbank debit card payment ko. I called up Customer Service at sabi nila 100k lang daw ang maximum online transaction. Nakipaggigilan pa talaga sya at sinasabing imposibleng magkaron ng transaction na 100k++ dahil yun ang nasa "policy" nila. Iprove ko daw na posible yun. :( Pero last week pa ako nag request ng increase to 300k at naapprove naman sya. Yun nga lang ang sinasabi ng nakausap ko kahit daw maapprove yun, hindi papasa sa system nila dahil sa 100k limit.

    What to do now ... I only have 4 days to submit. :(

    @jakeonline yeah, try mo muna sa immiaccount mo kung gumagana yung "Update Us" as per @rich88. In my case kasi, ayaw nya, so I emailed them instead. After a few days, nagreply na din, and also my VEVO was updated.

    thanks @rich88 and @jillpot , naalala ko nga kayo yung may similar case with me na maguupdate ng passport.

    regarding sa bubutasan, pwede kasing for pickup ang passport so nasayo pa yung luma while di pa dumadating yung bago. in that case, baka pag di pa dumating new passpory, ang dala dala ko sa PDOS is yung luma pa din.

    tumawag si wifey sa CFO and sabi pwede pa din naman magattend ng seminar pero yung sticker ilalagay na lang sa airport/immigration - na tipong may magaabang daw sakin before our flight. risky diba? haha ang kulit.

    pwede din naman ata balik na lang ako sa CFO kapag nakuha na new passport. hassle nga lang dalawang bese pumunta dun.

    note na sinusulit ko lang leaves ko early january kaya as much as possible dun makapag PDOS sa time na yun.
