  newbie here, I just saw ur post and so I opted to sign up. My CO sent me an email before the Christmas holidays... nagbanggit lang na tanggap na nya health assessment results ng magAma ko. Then she would finalise my application once nareceive na nya yung health assessment ko. medyo kaloka nga magAntay, I was planning na kalimutan na muna na may pending visa app ako but di kaya...hehehe

  amcasperforu,
  
  ako nga Nov 5 pa na receive ang docs ko hanggang ngayon wala pa din akong ack email. from the spreadsheet, they should be working now with Nov 2nd applications... hopefully this week or next meron na ako ack email. sabi nila 10 weeks daw ang processing ngayon, dami na applications...
  
  but dont worry, wala yatang quota sa NSW,, and if you check the report from SkillSelect, 122 out of 2400 pa lang ang may nafi-fill up.. so madami pang chances for SysAd.. yun nga lang, waiting is painful

  @Gori, san mo nakita yung 122 out of 2400? Lahat ba yan for sys admin alone? Oo nga daw sabi 10 weeks na daw, pero nakakaba lang tlaga kasi wala silang ack na ginagawa... hehe

  @amcasperforu
  
  Sir, nailagay ko na po sa timeline last Nov 2012 po and details sa timeline. GSM SS - 190. West Australia. Nurse Educator po ang aking occupation.
  
  Currently working po ako dito sa Libya. I have an agent who assisted me in the whole process of application and visa lodging.
  
  Since wala po ditong eHealth, although meron pong isang Panel Doctor, all the results was submitted via postal mail (FedEx).
  
  Salamat din po.

  Hi Guys,
  
  I have already lodged my application for subclass 189 and already completed all the documents for uploading at eVisa. Do we need to wait for a CO before going to the clinic for the health examinations/medical or not?

  I think hindi pede. Pede ka lang magpamedical kung meron ka ng referral letter with assigned TRN and or HRI no.

  @vanni777 do u already have your TRN? You can contact your preferred clinic for the medical exam and let them know your TRN, they will try to access it online and can frontload your health exam even w/o CO yet.

  @RobertSG and @wolfeyez Thanks guys for the advice. I do have a TRN and already contacted the clinic and we also have the referral and HRI number. Although we are scheduling it mid-February because my wife is 10 weeks pregnant and we are waiting to reach the end of her 1st trimester before she gets into x-ray. We also consulted some radiologist and doctors and advised to use lead shield for extra protection. Hope everything goes well.

  hi @engrjamescastro - it really depends on several factors, e.g. your EOI score, your EOI effective date, occupation limit of your nominated skill...
  
  normally pag 70pts EOI nyo, you will be invited immediately sa next cycle of invitation (2x a month)..you can look for the data of the current invitation report at the DIAC's website..
  skillselect, under report tab..makikita mo dun kung ilan points ang current invitation, and then you can gauge kung malapit na ba kayo mainvite..

  Thank you lock_code2004.
  
  I'm asking for the timeline because I'm also planning to get married this year. Kung magrant na ung visa pede ka pa ba mag add ng secondary para as partner mo while waiting for the initial entry deadline? Or get married first before all the lodgement process..thanks again for the answers. God bless!

  No adding of secondary applicant after visa grant - kung gusto mo panibago na bayad naman to thru spouse visa (??)
  
  Suggest you include your partner na para less hassle and less bayad...

  @engrjamescastro - tama po si @psychoboy... hindi na pwede mag-add ng dependent after visa grant.. the best way is to get married first (kahit civil lang basta may marriage cert)..
  
  or declare as de-facto partner, but you will need to provide several proof of on-going relationship, medyo madaming requirements...

  @engrjamescastro - tama po si @psychoboy... hindi na pwede mag-add ng dependent after visa grant.. the best way is to get married first (kahit civil lang basta may marriage cert)..
  
  or declare as de-facto partner, but you will need to provide several proof of on-going relationship, medyo madaming requirements...

  @engrjamescastro - I say, if really sure ka sa partner mo... pa civil ka na muna, just so you can have the marriage certificate... feeling ko kasi yung de-facto, the burden will really be on the applicant to prove that the relationship if valid.

  Another question sir,
  
  I'm confused between what I read from this link:
  http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-
  charter/visas/8.0.html
  
  It says here name standard processing time 12months. I've also read a link from diac saying it will only take 10weeks for my application to reach a case officer.
  Which is which sirs?
