    @Noodles12 nasa email ni CO kapag nacontact ka for additional docs or pag may grant. You will find something like "GSM Adelaide" or "GSM Brisbane". I think these are 2 offices that process Gsm applications. Tas for each location, may team organization pa. In some other forums, they're like saying team 2 and team 34 of adelaide ang pinakamabagal. Till now im wondering how they got the team #.

    Hi guys,

    Just asking for some help or advices, my fiance and I are planning na magmigrate sa Australia, my sister and her family ay PR na and currently in Melbourne, my brother and his family namin waiting nalang umalis din this year.

    I am a nurse, and alam ko ang option ko ay magbridging program, pero ung fiance ko IT sya, and I'm thinking pwede sya ung magpply sa Australia, and baka pwde magpakasal muna kami before magapply para pwede nya din ako apply as PR.

    May same scenarion ba dito? Or do you have any advices?

    Thanks
