    @jillpot ako na ba pinaka buzzer beater? ahahaha. so happy. thanks for all your help. i haven't uploaded our docs yet, though. one of the small causes of such delays is having small kids who always clinging around. hehehe. yes ok na din Japan coc. :) What does it really mean when you say "lodge"? Sorry nalilito lang ako sa term, if it just means the process until payment or kasama din pag upload ng documents. hehehe. and by the way, ok na colored scans of the original document ang iupload?

    @gemini Yes, colored scans are fine. Try to upload all docs na din, para more chances of DG. though naka-bakasyon na din mga CO nyan, pero malay mo at ma-assign sa inyo is isang napakasipag na CO. hehe. Good luck!

    Lodge pala is when your application has been submitted to DIBP, right after payment. Eto yung date na nakalagay dun sa acknowledgement letter ni DIBP.

    @jigs88 no worries mate. pag under process pa ang visa application like your case you still need to update DIBP of your new address. Form 929 daw kelangan fillupan.

    Hello guys, just wanna ask kung inupload nyo din ang CV ng spouse nyo as evidence of employment? Kasi di ba sa application may employment history ang spouse, pero wala naman sa category of documents to upload. Pwede ba ako mag upload ng ibang documents just by using "Attach more documents" button? Not claiming points for my spouse, pero baka lang kailangan iattach as evidence of family income kasi sya yung naging breadwinner sa family after my last employment.

    guys alam ko out of context konti since EOI lodge ko namin was Sept 2015 baka may matulungan nyo kami.

    Hi Guys,

    would greatly appreciate if you could give some advice and clarification with our case.

    Nag-apply kami for PR last Sept. 2015 with this points:

    Age- 30pts
    English- 0pts (tried 1*IELTS but no luck; 6*PTE 3 subsets were 70+ scores pero naiwan speaking ko 64)
    Qualification/Degree in Phil- 15pts
    Experience- 10pts
    **State Nomination NSW- 5pts
    _____________________________Total: 60pts

    Until now wala pa din kaming invite obviously dahil wala pang score sa english + 65 na ngayon ang hinihinging base score for Computer and Network Systems Engineer

    The main questions are:
    nung ni-lodge namin to it was under our agent kasi clueless pa kami at takot mag lodge by ourselves possible kaya na ma-access namin yung account namin to see for ourselves yung EOI Application without asking our agent kasi gusto na namin umalis sa agent namin but we dont want to burn bridges. May nagsuggest gawa daw ng bagong EOI pero ok lang ba 2 ang EOI?

    Tapos nung ni-lodge namin yung EOI offshore ako, ngayon andito na ko sa Sydney taking Master degree IT. May effect kaya yun sa application namin?

    Plus kaka-kasal ko lang sa gf ko last 20 Dec. '16, nung nagapply ako ng EOI even student visa di ko sya na declare in any of my papers same with her (nasa Sydney na sya for 3years di din ako declared sa mga application nya). We've been together for 6 years and 10 months. May effect din ba yun sa papers ng PR application ko?

    Please tulong mga kababayan.

    Hi again batchmates. I've already paid for the visa app and uploaded documents except for medical kasi 4 days before deadline na ako nakapag pay. Magpapamedical pa lang kami. But may nareceive pa din ako na message sa skillselect na invitation expired. Ignore ko lang ba message na yun since nakapaglodge na ako?

    hi guys, visa 189 ang nakalagay sa visa app ko sa immi, at may acknowledgement receipt din ako. 2 ang applications ko nung una, 190 and 189 pero nag expire na din ang 190 app ko. So I guess ok lang yun, as long as received ang status ng immi account ko?

    Matagal pa ata visa app namin, and once again I'm asking for prayers from this group. I think I'll be subject to sputum test because of a supicious finding in my x-ray. Sa may kids dito just want to ask, di ba nag TB test ang mga bata through blood sample? Sasabihin ba on the day kung may problem sa blood test, even before nila isubmit ang result sa embassy?

    @gemini ok nmn pla 189 ang nakalagay s immi.

    Yes pag may sputum aabutin ng 2-3mos. Di ka nag iisa. Pinag i-sputum din ako. 2 pulmonologist n pinuntahan ko for opinion at wla cla makita, kya kalokohan yang Nationwide n yan. Sabi ng 2 n pulmonologist wla cla makkita kahit mag sputum ako kc wla nmn talaga.
    Sa experience ko sinasubmit nila agad ang mga test kahit negative o positive ang result malalaman mo nlng n may sabit ka un ay s Nationwide. Kaya s St lukes n c baby nag medical nun. San kayo nagmedical?

    @mehawk28 Sa St Luke's kami. Ok naman medical ng baby mo?
    Paano pala malalaman kung cleared? May marereceive ba ako na email? Wala pa akong CO contact.
    Posible bang maging cleared ang family members except yung nag sputum test or intay muna result ng sputum test?
