from 12-17 months last month to 12-18 months processing time for visa 190. Gawin na lang nilang 100 months para tapos na sobrang unfair na nito.

Sadly, due to the pandemic kaya biglang nagbago priorities at turn around time ng visa processing. Mukhang ni-reallocate nila mga case officer to process onshore visa at citizenship applications kasi yung dating inaabot ng taon bago magkaroon ng schedule ng citizenship test ay nagiging 2-3 months na lang.

For those wating for visa grants, ipon na lang muna pambaon ng pera dito, learn how to drive kung di pa marunong at add/upgrade your skills para mas maraming opportunities na makuha once big move na.

Yes, I get that, pero parang too much na ang 18 months. Convenient gawing excuse ang pandemic pero hindi din naman ganun kadami ang grants for the last FY. Ang bullshit lang ng processing times, tanggalin na lang nila. Not to mention malaking money na ang nakuha nila, may right din ang applicants na makuha ang return sa investment nila.

Hi im also waiting for about 20months. Its a very long long waiting journey. Kaya lang what can we do, we have pandemic. Up until now, nakalock down most states sa Australia. Why would they invite people from outside if they cant still fix the inside. Have a little faith bro. I understand ur feelings. But getting PR visa is not our RIGHT but a PRIVILEGE. were lucky nainvite na tayu. Waiting nalang for them to fix muna yung Pandemic. We're actually using this time to save as much money as we can para pagdating dun, kung di kami makahanap agad work at least we have money to spend na while looking for work. Hang in there. Makukuha rin natin yung grant.

I did not say that it's my right to get the PR status. You talk like ibibigay lang nila ang visa satin when we earned the qualifications/experience para mag-qualify to apply for these visas, not to mention we paid a huge fee din and with that huge fee I hope eh nag-expect ka ng magandang service, at least sa processing times man lang. Processing times na sobrang misleading.

Dagdagan pa ang patience kung kulang pa, but stop telling people what they should do.
Anyway I'm in AU na at nagsisimula ko na ma-miss ang hawkers.

Im also waiting. For a really long time. What do u mean stop telling them what to do? Its an encouragement na maghintay lang instead magalit. We're in pandemic, kaya processing time would really be long.

Hello guys. Meron ba dito nakapag pa medical sa SATA before?
During appointment scheduling, shinare ko yung eMedical Referral Letter(with details of my HAP id). They asked what type of exam/tests are required. Nandon daw sa page 2 dapat yon. Apparently, 1page lang yung letter na pnrovide sa akin. It also says page 1/1 sa footer ng document.

May same case ba saken before? Any idea kung san ko makukuha yung details?

This is for Temp Visa Employer sponsored 482, btw.

2 PAGEs po Emedical referal letter, nkalagay dun: Client declaration, Doctor declaration, Consent provided.. sa paragon po try nyo din

Thanks @570N3Y1 . In my case, 1 page lang sya. Medical History, Client Declaration and Doctor Declaration lang ang sections bukos sa Client Personal and Visa Details

Yung Client and Doctor Declaration ay blank

Try mong ikaw mag download sa emedical website. Pag walang nkalagay need mo mag email sa bupa or sa immi, para masendan ka ng new test.

We cannot deny na malaking cause nito ay pandemic, each country may kanya-kanyang strategy just to survive, recover and protect their people in the midst of pandemic. Huwag lang mawawalan ng pag-asa, sabi nga nila, kung para sayo e para sayo talaga... better to have plan B if in case Australia is not for you. Well ganun din naman pinaplano ko, either explore the option for Canada, NZ, stay sa SG to work or uwi ng pinas for good.

Hi po. Luckily for you may invitation na. A lot of us here are still waiting for an invitation and EOI of 2 yrs already expired. In every investment, there's always a risk. The risk also includes to expect a negative return and not always a positive return. You're not the only one po. Some people are even more frustrated but still not giving up and making the most of this pandemic situation to save money and upgrade our skills. A piece of advice, why don't you study about your field in an Australian standards para dagdag qualification and better chance to land a professional job with high salary once you entered AU and also to distract yourself.

@buchock @emzkie I appreciate the unsolicited advice. Sana makuha niyo na invite niyo soon.

SG peeps ask ko lang po sa mga nakapag complete na ng requirements:

PTE exam center mas ok ba sa Pearson Professional Centers centre kumuha ng exam or ok din sa RELC Examinations Bureau. Mejo mababa po kasi rating ng RELC sa Google pero mas malapit at mas madaming schedule availability.
Mga galing NCS at Bank of America Meryll Lynch, any tips and advice sa pagkuha ng Employment Verification Letters.

NCS - only answered by an Intern that they don't entartain any request. Only email rejection was received.
BAML - same email, only standard COE lang daw meron sila.

About Statutory Declaration in Singapore:
Does your colleague need to sign in front of an attorney/ oath witness or not needed. Just sign and send it for natarization?

I have asked online sa process and some Lawfirms are even asking 400SGD for the whole process, parang ACS payment na almost :C
IF you have any suggestion where to go for Notarization and the process that was accepted by ACS, kindly advise naman po para sa mga naliligaw pa ng landas.

Take Care guys, no Mask soon.
