matapos magkaroon ng corrected marriage contract which took almost 6 months, pinakuha ko sya ng bagong passport bearing my name. then nag fill up kami ng form 929 attache old and new pssport bio page then send sa GSM.
almost 2 months walang nangyari puro autoreply pag nag follow up ako. hanggang tinawagan ko ang gsm adelaide, ni refer ako sa consulate. then si consulate binigyan ako ng email: [email protected]; pinadala ko doon same docs sa gsm, wala pa one week nabago na details sa VEVO..
i requested sa GSM last July 29,hanggang sept 20 walang progress.
nag email ako sa skilled.support ng sept 20, sept 25 okay na lahat sa VEVO napalitan nila agad....

Anyone of you has been requested Japan police clearance?
Binuksan nyo po ba ang envelope? Sabi kasi ng consulate it it will be invalid if I opened it instead of Australian Immigration.
I emailed the CO for permission though, and still waiting for the reply.
