    Congrats sa mga bagong nagrant! :)
    May iniintay pa kami sa health assessment. Kami ata ang magiging last sa Octoberians :)
    I just received CO contact today. Medyo nalito lang ako sa request nya. Nag attach na kasi ako ng NBI clearance (Dec 2016 ako kumuha nito sa NBI) pero may nirequest pa din na "Personal particulars for character assessment". Does it mean kelangan ko ulit kumuha ng bagong NBI clearance or meron kaya sila ibang hinihingi?
    Nagrereply ba sila sa questions for clarifications of requests?

    @pink nakuha namin Qantas Php66K+. Tatlo kami (me, my wife and 2year old daughter). 1 May 2017 yung flight namin to Melbourne pero magtransit sa Sydney since walang direct flight ang Qantas to Melbourne from Pinas. May 30Kg kami each (si daughter kasama din sa baggage allowance) Pero meron silang free upgrade to 40kg each for first time flyer immigrants. Process lang non is you have to book first, tapos isusubmit mo sakanila yung reference number ng booking mo together with your grant letters. Hope this helps.

    Cheers!

    @engineer20 gusto ko nga rin yang cebu pac. Kaso sa adelaide kami baka mahal naman fare ng syd to adelaide. Yung sa baggage allow, pede po ba mag add ng baggage after booking na? Up to how many kilos and how much? May nakita po kasi ako cebu pac 7500per person with meal and baggage allow of 20k. Kaso parang bitin ang 20 kaya sana gusto ko po malaman kung may option pa po mag add ng baggage allowance sa manage booking.

    @marcatordido thanks sir sa info. Titingin din po ako sa qantas. Ok kasi yung 40kilos na baggage allow nila.

    If ever magrant ang whole family ng visa 189, pwedeba mauna ang spouse sa Au to look for a job kahit hindi sya ang main applicant? Given nag initial entry na ang whole family pero the main applicant still has a bond sa current work kaya hindi pa makakaalis.
