nung kumuha ako ng SG PCC, kelangan ko umabsent isang araw para makapunta sa SG for fingerprinting and collection. pumayag sya at since isang araw lang yun, alis ng umaga balik sa gabi, sya mismo nag suggest na i sick leave ko na lang para hindi masayang yung sickleave credits ko. okay lang din daw na malate ako pagpasok ko next day since alam nya na 4am kinabukasan yung arrival ko sa Darwin airport galing Changi, hindi na din kelangan ng medical ceritificate. hehe
ayaw ko lang ay nagmumukha ako secretary minsan kasi wala siya secretary ako gumagawa ng admin task nya. lol
@delorian , nope hindi ako nag pa follow up, madami pa din kasi sa Immitracker na mas nauna pa saken pero hanggang ngaun wala pa din grant.. siguro pag march na at wala pa saka ako mag follow up dahil ma eexpire na 457visa ko by april.. pero may Bridging Visa naman ako na mag aactivate once ma expire 457 ko tapos wala pa yung PR visa.

Citibank ginamit namin. Call their hotline. Nag aallow sila mag overpayment, kaso bago mo iswipe call them first para ma waive nila yung (something) at di ma report as fraud yung transaction. Smooth yung transaction, ang sakit lang kasi nadale kami sa conversion hehe medyo higher than what we expected, pero magagamit ang Citibank. Mga 5K yung additional charge sa amin (me and one dependent)- conversion and cc fees.
