I think it's always good to provide all of the documents na pwede sa Immi if kaya! Good luck!

Bakit po ang sad, ung sa parents ko Aug 13 pa naka lodge, tapos na din biometrics one month ago, until now walang usad? Further assessment parin wla ding feedback or any message na cause ng delay?
Age 58 and 66. Ano pong pwedeng action gawin?

Note: Nagkaron ng mistake sa pag input ng date of birth sa mom ko so nag attach ako ng Form 1023 Notification of incorrect answer tapos short message indicating wrong input. Ako lang po kc ng lodge nun.

Processing times vary per case pa rin. The usual is about a month. Perhaps easy decision yung mga na-approve within only a few days, or swinerte sa table ng case officer. Either it's taking long dahil they need to look into it further, or it's just because... Perhaps the queue, or case officer, or some other thing. Hard to say for certain. Aug 13 is only a few days ago... the standard processing time stated by the DHA is MOSTLY the rule, while earlier or later times are the exception.

I know nakakakaba, but I think as long as you've done the necessary action naman of notifying and correcting the info, just need to breathe through it. Hope things go well!

DIY is fine as long as you've correctly filled your application. Nag-DIY lang din ako, and I was a first-time applicant. Apart from biometrics requirement, I'm not sure lang if nagnnotify sila if may kulang — if meron man, I'm assuming magaalert yun sa ImmiAccount mo.

I know someone who lodged earlier than I did then got the grant after 3 months pa. Meanwhile, yung sakin within a month. Yung iba dito mere days. Frustrating talaga yang waiting time, but as long as you've done your part sa pag-provide ng requirements I'm not sure what else can be done. Have not experienced reaching out to DHA in any way yet.

Good luck!

Another Visa Lodgement:

Dad - April 28 - Approved - May 9, 2022 - Seoul Embassy ang nag approve
Mom - April 27 - Received - Manila Embassy daw mag approve neto sabi ng Seoul Embassy

Pano po malalaman kung anong overseas post ang mag approve. Yung sa mother in law ko approved na nung May 6 pa pero father in law ko further assessment parin. Sabay sila inaapply ng visa. Yung parents ko naman kasabay din na approve although different group.

Congrats pla sa mga nakakuha ng grant ☺️

Hi! Gaano katagal yung gap ng visa approval ng mother-in-law sa father-in-law mo? Yung sa parents ko naman, nauna father ko tapos further assessment pa rin sa mother ko. Sabay rin naman sila nag-apply at nagpa-biometrics.
Thanks!

VFS na gagawa nun. Naka-receive ako ng email na VFS submitted my biometrics na, something like that, a few hours after my biometrics.

Welcome, glad to help!

Question po, nagpabiometrics na yung kapatid ko. Three days nang “initial assessment” pa rin. May need po ba kami gawin?

Hi, I am invited by my next employer for a training in Sydney for 10days, pero i am still employed in my current employer dito sa pinas. Can I apply for the tourist visa kahit yung purpose is for bootcamp?

I believe yes. May conditions na connected per visa type and, if I remember correctly, you can use a Tourist Visa for training of no more than 3 months. Look into a 407 Training Visa din para sure.
