1. Usually, first CO correspondence may take from 5 days to 30 days.
2. If additional documents are requested, usually it takes 30 to 60 days before they review your application. You should've uploaded the documents they requested by then.
Bihira lang ako makakita dito sa forum na inaabot ng more than 2 months, though may cases talaga na umaabot ng more than 2 months. Depende kasi sa CO talaga eh.

Si wifey ba ang primary applicant? Kasama rin ata sya sa magegenerate na HAP ID if ever, kasi sya ang primary, then HAP IDs will be issued din sa lahat ng kasama sa application. May question naman dun if she already had medical assessment recently. Dun nya na lang i-declare na nakapag-medicals na sya lately.

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.

Or iwithdraw mo. No effect since di pa naman nase-select and wala pang invite.
I think wala namang epekto yung di mo dineclare si gf sa student visa mo dati. But you should update your EOI immediately to have her included in your PR visa application kung di pa sya kasama dun.
Good luck and have a merry Christmas.

1. Health (Form 80, etc.)
2. Character (PCC, etc.)
3. Australian Qualifications - no need kasi wala naman talaga ako nito
4. Australian Experience - same with this one
And then may Organize health examinations din na link. Does this mean I can already apply for NBI Clearance and Medical even without the COs first contact? I've read na mas mabilis daw pag "complete" na ang application before ka ma-assign ng CO and current priority processing is at November 24, 2016.
But then again, may nakalagay naman sa Health part na dapat ginawa ang medical before lodging otherwise tatagal kapag after lodging and for NBI Clearance naman, may nabasa din ako somewhere sa website na wait for them to contact you before applying for a police clearance.
Ano po ba talaga DIBP? hehehe.

Pede na rin magpa-NBI before maglodge. I think the main reason kung bakit sina-suggest nung iba na after ng CO contact magpa-NBI is because somewhat naka-base sa date ng NBI and medical yung IED (Initial entry date) mo sa grant. Meaning, mas shorter time ang ibibigay sayo to make your initial entry depending kung kelan ka nagpamedical/ NBI.
You can upload form80 and form1221 beforehand para di na hinggiin ni CO if ever. Pero yung iba kasi, di naman din nirerequest nito. I guess, depende sa CO.
Just my thought, though. Let's wait for the others for their opinions.
