    Hello again..question lng ulit. It has been 4 weeks since nagbayad and naglodge ng application since then walang progress and walang balita/email kami natatanggap. Naupload na po namin lahat ng documents needed pero wala pa din contact from case officer. Normal po toh?

    Sorry, a bit nervous lang at impatience na din from our part ng GF ko kasi yung cost for the visa is malaki talaga. :(

    Thank you po ulit.

    @Grifter Thanks sa info. Kahit po yung first contact ng CO? di din po ba maestimate?

    Based dun sa kabilang discussion mostly 189's ay di pa nacocontact ng CO but mostly din naman this October lang sila nagLodge. 189 din kasi kami.

    Thank you ulit.

    @CroweAltius if ibabased po sa official statement nila, it takes 7-11 MONTHS to process the visa. Lahat naman tayo ay alam na isang malaking risk ito dahil mahal talaga pero wala naman tayong magagawa kundi maghintay ng positive output. :)

    Othes waited a year pa bago nagkagrant. If you follow the September thread, marami run mga early this year pa naglodge. Make yourselves busy para magulat nalang kayo pag nag-email na sila.

    Hello @jazmyne18! OT lang.. I saw in your timeline na telco network engineer ka. I;m helping out a friend na gusto rin mag-migrate to Oz, but I have no idea re: CDR (kasi sa ACS yun assessing body ko). Ok lang ba if you could send me a sample CDR para may guideline yun friend ko? Thanks in advance!

    @jazmyne18 thank you po sa advice. Currently yun po ginagawa namin. I was just wondering dun sa CO contact, understanding ko kasi before pwede yung CO first contact is earlier kahit aabot ng ilang months ung pag grant. Most likely pala magkakalapit lang yung dates ng dalawa if complete na yung requirements na naupload. :)

    hello po.. may question lang po ako.
    may naka-experience po ba dito na maglodge ng visa tapos yung mga documents na ni-submit ay may inconsistency sa name nila?

    kasi yung sakin.. for example sa birth cert ko, yung "Jr." nasa tabi ng Last Name ko pero the rest ng IDs ko like passport nasa First Name na kasi yun yung format ng gov't.

    tapos yung ACS assessment letter ko kasi walang tilde yung 'n' (ñ) ko sa Last Name. huhu. kasi di daw nila supported yung character na yun. huhu.

    hirap magkaroon ng name na tulad ng sakin. haha.

    Hello Everyone,

    Just want to know your experience... I have a B.S. ECE and I graduated from Mapua. Does this qualify me 15 points dun sa section for Education, specifically "A Bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or a Bachelor qualification, from another educational institution that is of a recognised standard.".

    Or mag fafall lang ako under sa "An award or qualification recognised by the relevant assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation." which is 10 points?

    Maraming salamat!

    @unwell_11 sir, what's your nominated occupation? kasi what you need to do first is to select your nominated occupation and then from there you need your education and work experience to be assessed by a specific assessing organization to know your qualification.

    Hey guys, tanong lang po. Na CO contact ako today. Has anyone here experienced na mahingian ng "Immigration Health Examination"? Naupload ko na kasi po yung sa akin, same sa ginamit namen with an an application for a 457 visa 5 months ago. Na grant naman yung 457, and we are lodging here onshore for the 189. Kailangan ko ba ulit kumuha ng medical for that? Kasi Ginawa naman lahat ng tests nun, including PR health requirements.

    Hello @sushimarie. ITR copies are filed in BIR and given to the employee every year. SSS contributions can be viewed online, given that you have an account. You may also request for a printed copy of your contributions from an SSS office.
