    @dutchmilk Kung hindi ako nagkakamali tawag dyan ay subject/course description it should be available in every college/university Registrar's Office. It will state there that the particular subject has been taught in English. Hope that helps.

    @dutchmilk Kami naman nung July lang nag-apply pero Victoria lang kasi doon lang open and occupation ko tsaka ito nga sa SA na 489. ICT ako. Problema sa VIC they won't tell you kahit rejected eh so I might be waiting for nothing for all I know. Baka mag lodge na din ako ng visa application sa SA. Importante naman makarating doon. Gano lang ba yung two years para sa PR hehe!

    @lccnsrsnn @dutchmilk Nag-489 kami, ano ba ang 2 years after that kuha mo na yung PR status. Moving forward, ni-lodge na namin. Ang mahalaga makapunta na sa OZ, one step closer sa goal which is to settle there.

    I think marriage certificate is good enough pero if you want just in case lang na humingi ng another proof then you can use your utility bill

    @dutchmilk @lccnsrsnn @inthenow goodluck sa applications nyo. hopefully makatanggap na kayo ng grant or ITA.

    And who knows you can be neigbours kung South Australia bound kau. I have heard that Filipino population is getting bigger and bigger coz of SS.

    Magtayo agad kayo ng filipino restaurant or filo store sa SA kc wala pa daw maxado choices dun.hehe..

    @lccnsrsnn oh ok. double check or triple check mo lang ung docs mo before ka magsubmit para sure na walang nakalimutan and hopefully direct grant na agad.

    Where are you going? SA or Tassie?

    Good day sa lahat, ask ko lang if okay na ba tong mga documents na naprepare ko sa proof of marriage, mag la lodge na kc kami after nang medical namin next week for 489 din sa SA.

    1. Marriage Certificate
    2. Proof of billing/letter na same address - Bank statement / IRAS
    3. House contract with both names on the occupant list

    Are these documents sufficient? Thanks in advance sa sasagot.

    @dutchmilk sa website kasi nang DIBP under document checklist ito naka indicate;

    Genuine relationship evidence

    If you are married or in a de facto relationship, evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship with your partner to the exclusion of all others. For de facto relationships this should include evidence that you have been in the relationship for at least 12 months at time of application. Evidence can include, but is not limited to, joint bank account statements, billing accounts in joint names, and other evidence of cohabitation.

    Just checking and making sure na yung prepared documents namin is sufficient.
