    hello pips.. may nakapagcancel na ba sa inyo ng medical referral letter from my health declaration? nakapaggenerate na kame hapid and all, pero di pa kame makapag sched ng medical exam.
    Nilagay namen no sa question kung pregnant ba or not.., pero baka kasi preggy pala si wife..
    if ganito, pano ba, hindi na rin kasi mkakapag generate ng bagong referral/hapid..
    - sabihin nalang ba namen straight sa health exam na preggy?
    - or maglodge na kame ng visa, then take the health declaration from there eventually generating a new hapID?

    a year from now, you will wish you had started today

    @brnaye yun nga hindi makaplano ng maayos hanggat walang Grant.

    Brisbane mga relatives ko. Pero depende pa. Once the grant comes out..pwede na mag seek. Kung san magkakaron ng work agad. Pero preferably..Brisbane din para mas maraming support.

    Travelling ka ba with family? And kid/s? Pano kaya mga gamit ng bata! Omg haha
