    Hi guys, approved na Yung visa ko (thanks sa lahat ng tumulong)

    Now immigration naman sa NAIA problem ko, tulong naman, malaki daw kase chance ma offload pag friend lang mag pafund sakin.

    Ano mga requirements na hihingin?
    Though I have everything na naman maliban sa picture namin together since dipa kame nag mimeet, and i dont have savings, though may credit cards naman ako and debit card.

    Any advice?

    @iamgly attached mo na lahat. kasi you need to submit once attached na lahat. required and recomeded. minsan di na nag aask ng addition docs ang CO mag dedecide na yun sa pinasa mo. kaya better iattach mo na lahat bago mo submit.

    they might ask for a COE with the leave dates, may kilala akong hiningan ng bagong coe kasi pina spcify ni case officer ung dates of leave.

    Hello planning to apply TV kaso unemployed ako right now kasi had to go to Bali last year e hindi ako pinayagan magleave ng company ko.

    I wanted to find out if a new job offer is enough proof as an ''Incentive to return''?



    I have no kids or assets to declare. Magsstart palang uli ako sa work so current bank balance ko has only around 20k.It's my bf who is an aussie ang sponsor nitong trip talaga.

    Enough po kaya yun financial capacity?



    Wala pong credit card. Previous travel ko palang was indonesia and Singapore. kung maapprove magkasama sana kami pumunta in two weeks.

    So un ba pwede kong sabihin date of travel?

    1) kelangan mo ideclare na nasa saudi sia ngyn, there is a field in the application form ng address, use his saudi address.

    2) they are more lenient sa bata since anjan ka namn, jsut the baby's passport, birht cert, your residential status in au, and evidence of financial support and letter from the sponsor.

    Make sure ung coe ng spouse mo e nakalagay ung approved leave dates.some CO are a bit strict about this.

    Greetings sa inyong lahat!

    Tanong lang po and hope may mapulot akong payo sa inyo. Engaged na po ako last January and assessment in progress na yung Prospective Visa subclass 300 namin kasama yung 2 kids ko. Darating si Fiance' sa June 10 at hindi kami masayang isipin na babalik na naman sya at LDR na naman kami after June 23. We decided to apply tourist visa 600 at si Fiance ang mag sponsor sa akin. Full time employee po ako at regular na sa work. Internal process kc ang leave request mostly sa BPO industry. Payag si supervisor na mag leave ako without pay but not more than 3 months. Willing then sya mag supply ng approve letter of leave indicate her number and direct company email address. Gusto ko lang makasama si future hubby kasi nami miss ko na sya sobra. Tapos na kami mag apply ng tourist visa online. Ilang days kaya kami mg wait bago ang result? Plano kc namin na magkasama pagbalik nya sa OZ..!

    KUn submitted na ung sc300 nio, malaki ung risk na mareject ung visitor visa, not sure though kun ganu kabait ung co na maadsign sa yo. processing time in the ph may tke 1 month, sometimes longer.
