para po ba makaproceed sa Medicals, kailangan muna ng Examination Referral Letter?
If wala nito, hindi po makakapag set ng appointment sa clinic? Tama po ba?
in securing NBI clearance nman po, may requirement po ba na dapat dalhin when you go to NBI office?

Usually kse yung IED (initial entry date) mo sa Aussie eh ung expiration ng either NBI or Medicals mo, kung sino ang mauna. So kung i-frontload mo lahat, mas maaga ang IED mo. Yun lang.
Hindi ko alam ang process ng frontload sa medical. Kse yung sa akin, meron ng request from CO na mag-medical. Walang binigay na Examination Referral sa akin so ang pinakita ko lang eh yung mismong email sa akin ni CO na hinihingi na nya yung medicals ko.
Yung sa NBI naman, sabihin mo lang VISA AUSTRALIA. yun lang! wla ng ibang docs na kailangan. Pwede ka na kumuha nyan ngayon kung gsto mo pero yung sa medicals, not sure kung pano.

Ang medicals mo; click on "organize your health, requirements"... It should be there somewhere; if not, call the clinic you want to do your check-up. this is what i did back in singapore, they just asked for some reference pertaining to our visa app and ayun na...

HOW TO GET YOUR MEDICAL EXAM FORM - EOI
its in the evisa application "organize health exam" the health list files are there and then you can arrange your medical.
By the way make sure you select a medical clinic and then save at your evisa before you call for reservation on those accredited clinics in the list. They can't verify your TRN if you did not choose/tick that clinic.
if you click on each of the medical form for all those included in the application, and its blank, there is an error in teh system.. you should EMAIL: [email protected]

kaso, meron nakalagay na update sa immi.gov.au na within the 7 weeks of lodgement yung allocation ng CO for Priority Group 4.
and nakalagay na icomplete yung mga medicals and character clearance before the application is allocated.
so ang plan namin, kumuha ng Medical Exam and NBI clearance on the 6th week of visa lodgement.
kaso d ko pa alam pano makakakuha ng Examination Referral Letter.
pano kaya ang ginawa ni @Khorups

nirready na namin if ever i ask ni CO.
may nakita ako dun sa dropdown list when we attach the documents, merong payslip, or Tax Document sa choices.
pero sabi nman ni @lock_code2004, if hindi hingin ng CO, okay lang.
Nireready lang just in case.

if you will get a CO soon and in case they ask, buy for more time nalang. explain your situation, di naman sadista itong mga CO na ito and they would understand. basta communicate with your CO and let them be aware of your problem/situation.

So no choice, nag-request ako sa bank of account. pina-rush ko pa! may bayad pa yung request na yon... sbe nila 2wks lang.. hala kamusta ka naman, malapit na yung deadline ng submission ko ng docs eh wala pa! it took me a month or so to get it. Tapos, 1 page lang binigay, eh dapat 4 pages. Di na ko nag-reklamo kse nag-email na lng ako sa CO ko.
Ito ginawa ko:
1. Requested a COE from company with compensation and indicate that it is deposited to my BPI Account # xxxxx.
2. Submitted Bank Statements that I have on hand.
3. Informed CO that processing of BPI Bank Statements is taking more time than expected and I fear that it won't make it to the deadline. So instead, I requested a detailed COE and uploaded the Bank Statements I have on hand.
Yun yung ginawa ko.. Sana may maisip ka ring alternative at the same time habang inaantay mo yung bank statement sa bank.

hi Sis @katlin924, nangyari din pala ito sayo. Nung una sabi nila, mabilis na daw ngayon ang processing time ng Bank Statement, yun pala ganun pa rin. aabutin pa rin talaga ng 1 month.
Sis, bakit daw 1 page lang ang naibigay sayo?
Meaning hindi nacover yung buong Period na nirequest mo?
Naku nagwworry tuloy ako, baka ganyan din mangyari samin.
Sana naman mahanap nila lahat ng years na kailangan namin.
nag email na kasi sis yung HR support nung company ni hubby, hindi na nila maretrieve ang ITR years ago
kaya eto na lang natitira namin na option.
pero yung COE naman ni hubby, meron syang salary indicated dun.
Sana lang iaccept na yun ni CO.
Yung previous COE mo ba sis, Salary lang din nakalagay?
Pina modify mo lang to include the Bank Account number?

Yung sa COE ko, wala tlgang naka-indicate na salary compensation. Kaya pinagawa ko sila ulit tapos pina-indicate ko yon.
Baka pwede sabihin dun sa HR na gawa sila ng Affidavit or something just to prove na he is earning XX amount during his stay sa company. Hindi pwedeng di nila ma-retrieve yung ITR. Alam ko dapat binibigay nga yung mga yon sa mga employees eh. If not, di ko sure kung makakakuha ng copy sa BIR? pero hirap na ata yon..

tyagaan lang sa pagbabasa talaga and kung may questions man, madami po mabubuting puso dito sa forum na tumutulong sa atin.
pwede po kayo magsimula by reading Booklet 6 and Booklet 11 (yung sa SkillSelect).
Then saka po kayo mag raise ng questions if medyo naguguluhan which is just normal
Nakapag IELTS na po si hubby nyo?

Anyway, oo nga ang bilis pero sobrang kabado ako sa health requirement.
Pag ba nag expire yung invitation to apply ng visa di naman makakaapekto pag nag apply ka ulit ng EOI? Sobrang worried lang ako kasi April 5, 2013 yung deadline ng application for visa eh nabasa ko sa media releases ni Mr. Chris Bowens dated Oct 31, 2012 eh starting July pa tataas yung allowance for medical costing computation nila para sa health requirement (na napakalaki ng impact sa case ko dahil may down syndrome ang anak ko). Naiisip ko magpa expire na lang ng invitation or kung mag apply man ako yung malapit na deadline then kung hihingi ng additional documents and medical exam delay delay ko na lang... Hayyy naiiyak ako sa kaba talaga.
Moving on...
