Kung makukuha na mas maganda, kaso for our situation NBI lang pwede makuha,both medical and Singapore police clearance cant be obtain hanggat walang request from CO. so baka maghintay nalang kami ng CO kasi ganun din, naghintay na kami ng matagal. frustrating tlaga.

This is good! did you request it as an FOI? pero acttually no need na magrequest, sa skillselect dashboard makikita mo na kung ilang yung nakalodge na application. ilang yung EOI.

Hello, FOI request mo ba ito? I am not sure what you mean. Kung tama and intindi ko, sinasabi lang nia na:
Dependents are not included in the count.
So I guess this FOI is not relevant if you are offshore?

Hindi ko sya narequest, nagkataon meron info for Architectural draftperson(NSW). FOI disclosure log sa website. Updated every month, information sa mga applicants.
Yes. Most of the granted applicant are Onshore. they didn't provide any info for offshore.

Good day!
I ask ko lng po sana. For instance po ba, napprove ung 491 visa namin. Ok lang po ba if mauna mag enter sa australia ung dependent/ secondary applicant kesa sa primary?..
Posts: 1,204Member, Moderator
Joined: Aug 28, 2018
Depende po sa Visa niyo. some visas have Condition 8502, which is “must not enter Australia before specified person” so if your visa is granted, check your conditions. baka pwede naman. although much better po na kasama ang main applicant para no questions ask. but not necessarily.
