@grace1980 I suggest na i handa mo muna ung mba basic documents mo at ipa certified tru copy mo para ma iupload mo agad after you make the payment.
basic documents you need to have ready are
certified true copy of passport, birth certificate, driver's license, marriage certificate
shared bank account (in my cases, this is an online statement i downloaded from my online account), hindi ko na pina certify true copy
pictures together - travel, airfares, hotel reservations, wedding photos, screenshots of chats and messages
form 888 of your witnesses
shared billing statements, shared asset like property or car (ako wala akong na submit nito dahil bagong kasal kami and asa sydney ako... so I just explained this in the questionairre and in my statutory declaration)
after mo mag pay thru credit card, you can upload these documents agad agad. .
habang nag aantay ka.. pwede mo na din i request yung cenomar ninyong dalawang mag asa sa ecensus and choose the option to send to australia embassy. (I assume you are applying from manila)
yung health exam and nbi... hiningi samin ng case office two months after we lodge our application. yun iba fino front load na nila meaning nagaapply and submit na din sila.
