    you can do that sir, pero anong address lalagay mo?
    tsaka pano kung may interview, kaya mo bang lumipad agad sa AU?

    kung kaya mo naman, pede mo siguro diskartehan ng ganyan...

    hindi ka ba pede magleave kahit 1 month to try and test the waters?

    nandito po ang information na hinahanap nyo:
    http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/475/adding-family-members.htm

    If you currently hold a Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 475), you may add the following secondary applicants after your visa has been granted:

    -your partner
    -a dependent child of you or your partner
    -a dependent relative of you or your partner.

    They must apply using the paper Form 1276.

    There is currently no online facility for adding family members after a visa has been granted.

    You will need to provide evidence of your relationship to your family members.

    sino pamilyar sa education system sa AU? especially sa pre-school and Primary? and ano experience nyo? kamusta naman adjustment ng anak nyo? Kung ma-approve ako bago mag-November, tinatarget ko rin makarating ng AU by January so mai-enroll ko anak ko, so, sana mabilis ma-approve application ko pag-bigay ko ng lahat ng documents.

    Hi im new to this forum. Just want to inquire the average timeline from the time medicals are further referred to finalization. My sis had her status further meds referred last 2 august and until now it hasnt been finalised. Her hubby n kids were already finalised last 17 sept. emailed hoc but reply looks to be an automated one. Are we to get worried or its just due to heavy backlogs that cause the delay? Thanks for your inputs.
