  @mikasa Hi. Na refused visa ko for 190. Reason daw ay mali ang ANMAC code na sinubmit ko which was my mistake. It should be code AGED CARE not NEC. Di na ako nag submit ng appeal kasi it will be refused again anyway as said by my agent dahil it was a mistake on my end. I have applied for a new visa w/ my partner so i’m still here in oz.

  11/17/12: passed school application thru IDP * 12/4/12: received letter of offer (univ. of newcastle) * 12/12/12: credit application * 2/22/13: received new letter of offer * 2/26/13: paid deposit fee * 3/8/13: received COE and paid visa fee * 4/10/13: visa application thru IDP * 4/11/13: medical request from DIAC * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 4/19/13: SLEC uploaded my medicals * 4/12/13: medical exam done * 7/11/13: VISA GRANTED

  @mikasa can I ask po what your motivations are for applying PR in Australia while being a NZ resident din? Are you moving right away or will you wait for NZ citizenship

  @amedina thanks for the update, that’s sad but good thing na din at least they inform you naman and i second @snmgil about the agent concern.
  
  @Mia cos my brother lives in sydney and we realised that living in a foreign country is better pag may kasama kang kapamilya. We’re moving already next year and not gonna apply na for citizenship here.

  Updating lng. Got CO contact per agent update requesting for 1) Personal particulars for character assessment 2) evidence of overseas study (transcripts and completion) 3) evidence of employment (payslips, ITR, bank statements)
  
  May i ask what 1 means? All of number 2 and ITRs already submitted to agent, i suspect they missed uploading these. Huhu. But looking at the brighter side, pwde naman icomply ang mga hinihingi like payslips and bank statements. so at least nagmove na khit papano.
