guys update lang, 10 visa grants for June 16th as per immitracker 189. Lodgement date were from November 2016 - January 2017.
Mukhang naglilinis nga talaga sila ng backlogs nila especially for those who lodged in 2016. Kapit lang po tayo mga repa, malapit na rin yung satin

Fyi pala sa mga hiningian ng Form 815, i'm not sure kung applicable din sa inyo pero kami we were given 3 months only for Initial Entry, so Sept na agad..kasi di ba kailangan mo mag comply ulit sa isang health requirement nila pagdating mo dun

@maren1026 nakuha namin NBI clearance last April 2017. Naupload din naman namin agad kaya ang unang naisip namin baka naoverlook ng CO.

5. IELTS hindi kelangan no?
6. May kulang pa ba? I am married with 1 daughter.
then for NBI, need pa ba ng wife ko kumuha ng NBI clearance?
For EIO, need ko na ba e upload ang NBI clearance? or kapag tinanong na ako saka ko ipapadala?
Pasensya na, d ko sure kung tama ang pagkaka intindi ko sa mga nabasa ko.
thanks.

1. Correct. You can get checklist of documents here:
https://more.acs.org.au/migration-skills-assessment/information-for-applicants
2. Yes, lahat ng dependents na 18 and above kailangan ng NBI clearance.
3. Not needed for EOI creation. Kailangan lang sya kapag nag lodge ka na ng visa application.
