@jillpot oo nga e..thank you!
@mehawk28 thanks!haha..sunod na lang ako sa inyo..malapit na yung sa yo..
Additonal question, if nag change ka ng usual country of residence, still need to inform dibp or CO?mgkaka issue ba if hindi mo na inform?if ng renew ka ng passport after the visa is granted, okay lang yun diba?thanks uli!

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!

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?

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.

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.
