Based sa mga timeline na nakikita ko, nagpapamedical at PCC muna before maallocate yung CO. Bakit yung sa case ko, hindi pa ko nagpapamedical at nag pa police clearance (now meron ng COC), may CO ng naka assign? Based sa mga timeline, iba iba yung approval period from the day na nag file ng application (in my case, I applied last 16-Nov-12).\
God Bless

but here are some comments:
- PCC and medical can be done even without assigned CO
- so if you are tracking the CO allocation process, you can estimate when your CO will be assigned, and therefore plan for PCC and medical ahead..
- if you have everything ready (documents/requirements), it will be approved easily
- approval/application is assessed on case to case basis, so you cannot really compare your application with other applications on the basis that both applications were submitted on the same day (example Nov. 16, 2012).

Newbie here. I’m still in the stage of information gathering, and I’m glad I found this forum. Been lurking for a week already. I also have read some helpful sites already, may general understanding nako but still have many questions in my mind.
I’m eyeing visa 189. Gusto ko sana both visa 189 & 190 sa EOI pero may nabasa ako na visa 190 for Victoria SS requires 30K AUD financial resources. So that’s almost 1M pesos. Sa mga visa 190 for Victoria SS, tama ba to?
Congrats sa mga na visa grants na. I will be following your posts naman on your journey on finding work in Australia. Goodluck to all of us.

In my opinion if you have atleast 60 points (not including points sa sponsorship) mas maganda na to go with 189 route para less ang hassle/time sa paghanda para sa sponsorship.
