Hello po. Sa mga work experience na hindi nclaim (marked as irrelevant sa EOI) kailangan rin po ba magprovide ng proof? Or required lang ang proof kapag cnlaim yung work experience? Thank you.

Hay. Ang hirap kasi magplan ng future. Dahil naghihintay parin tau. I'm not complaining naman. Yun nga lang, nakaplan na sana na jan mag primary anak ko. Kaso mukhang malabo. Haha. Hopefully maging maayus na. Kaso dito sa SG dumadami cases. Mauudlot na naman yung travel bubble.

un nga. maramirami din unlinked cases dito ngayon, kaya doble ingat. ang blessing ay malapit na namin makita ang aming baby. 27 weeks na siya today so ilang kembot na lang hehe
antay lang talaga tayo. 77% daw ng residents sa australia ayon sa survey ay ayaw na mag-open pa ang borders.logical naman un at safety nila maaapektuhan.
so stay put pa muna tayo dito sa SG. sana dumating na rin pinakaaantay mo na grant!

Mostly kasi ng mga locals dito ayaw nila magpa vaccine dahil na din takot sa side effect lalo na yung blood clot from Astrazenica vaccine. madaming naka tengga na mga vaccine na hindi nagagamit dahil sobrang konti ang nagpapa vaccine.

Just received CO contact. Ask ko lang po, how long do CO contacts give deadline? Lalo n ngaun at COVID. Does it include weekends? Lenient ba sila at may extension if halimbawa may unforeseen circumstances?
And after submitting the needed docs, gano katagal ang decision?

hello @cutiepie25, good morning! sa case ko, nakalagay sa Request for more Information letter na kailangan mag submit within 28 days from the date nung letter.
Nag-apply ako agad nung araw din na un ng Police check. Natanggap ko after 12 days ang document. Tapos attach ko agad (same day na matanggap ang document) sa ImmiAccount.
After 22 days ko natanggap ang grant.
Sana nakatulong ang reply ko.
God bless you!
