    hello guys, was invited today and was able to complete the 17-page application form in the immi website. After I made the payment, I was notified that it's successful. However, when I was redirected to the main page, I noticed that the status is still showing "Ready to Submit". Has anyone here encountered the same issue? Appreciate your help!

    Guys, ok na pala yung issue ko sa "Ready to Submit" status. Ndi pa pala confirmed ang payment, hence the status.

    Thanks @siena101! yes, i was invited in 189 last night. Nagkachat tayo sa 190 thread no? I took PTE again after our chat (to max the english score), and then after that bumalik ako 189. :)

    @siena101 hehe swinerte lang. i almost gave up sa englist test. I had 1 take in ielts and 2 takes in pte. Had band 7 in ielts and its equivalent in PTE the 1st time. With the PTE score, was able to increase my pts fr 65 to 75. Try mo din! After 1-2 days, you'll get the results. Next invitation round is april 12. My occupation only had 42 slots before last night kaya hinabol ko.

    @Chad for now, I just applied for My Health Declarations sa immiaccount para mag medical muna. However, when trying to access emedical through 'View Health Assessment > Organise health examinations', I encountered this error:
    "Your request cannot be processed at this time. Please try again later."
    Anyone encountered this when accessing emedical? I believe kailangan to to fill out some questions for referral and for hapid generation. Thanks po!

    @vandazzle thanks for the update. Btw, I am not certain how to proceed because the FBI police clearance takes time to get. I believe that I have to wait max of 4 months to get the response from the US. I would appreciate if you can shed light on it or someone who experienced the same. Thanks!

    @Chad In that case I think you need to lodge/pay the visa already before the ITA expiry then upload the FBI clearance when available. Unahin ko kasi muna kumpletuhin medical and other requirements before lodging.
