Waiting for GRANTS

emzkie · October 2022

thanks @hikari and @abaper sa advises. na resolve ko na, sinira ko nlang budget ko using my Sgd bank account na hindi ko na change spending limit (makakabawi din naman to soon pag mka AU na).
nainip na kasi ako sa BPI, inefficient din customer service hotline

emzkie · October 2022

may concern ulit ako guys hehehe.. sorry na po.

though will search further din.

Re: Biometrics,
Is it possible that I'm not required anymore? because last late Aug 2022, I already had my biometrics for my Tourist visa. After I lodged for the PR visa, health requirements lang ang needed action. No Biometrics was stated.

Thank you in advance

@ga2au nagpamedical po kayo ulit sis? Sobrang tagal na ng journey mo, pero mukhang malapit na!!!

Yes sis. New medicals and PCC and form 80. Sana nga this year. Hahha ang tagal na naming nag aantay! ❤️

Wow nagmove na yung application niyo. Congrats po. Hula ko. November kayo na magrant hehe. Parang grabe rin yung ginawa sa application niyo, parang nahulog ang docs niyo and nilagay sa huli. Gumastos pa kayo ulit ng additional fees.

Dami kong ginawang pagpapapansin sa totoo lang. 6 times ako sumulat... 2 times ako tumawag sa hotline. Hahha nadinig ng Diyos yung panalangin namin..

Ang gusto ata pang Band 9 na writing and speaking. Hehe. Joke lang po. Napapaisip ako, bakit kaya ayaw pa iproceed yung application mo. Kumpleto ka naman na. Yung CO contact mo pa hindi mo pa kasalanan. Congrats po.

Dami backlogs ata tlaga. Nung tumawag ako mababait naman e.. Talaganv sobrang damj langbnaming naiwan.. And usually daw two months kung walang bumalik na CO after Co contact, yun na daw un. Waiting nalang ng grant.

Yeheeey! Grant na next news nyan!! Praying for you @ga2au!

Thank you @jakibantiles sana nga! ❤️

advanced congrats @ga2au ! gawa ka na ng Big Move 2023 na thread! hihi

Deserve ni ma'am @ga2au na gumawa ng thread na yun.> @ga2au said:

Hello. Please correct me if I'm wrong pero sa pagkakaintindi ko sa below link ay you actually have a choice to enter Australia as a tourist while you are waiting for a decision for a PR visa, meaning pag nakalodge na. You will have full working rights and be eligible to apply for interim medicare pag nag expire ang TV at mag activate ang BVA.

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/travelling-and-your-visa/travel-while-your-visa-is-being-processed#:~:text=You can apply for a,temporary visa matches your intentions.

Is tourist visa processing madali lang? Like we cant work in that visa so need to BVB?

Yung TV ng parents ko:
Lodged - Aug 10
Biometrics - Aug 17 (earliest available)
Visa Grant - Aug 19

So do u think we still need biometrics kahit may ongoing application?

Oo nga Ma'am baka ma CO contact na naman kayo kasi di pa niya isinama ang biometrics hehe. Tumagal na naman hay.

Pero kung ito ang basis. Hindi na dapat kayo magbiometrics kasi matagal niyo na nilodge.

https://philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/home.html

From 04 April 2022, visa applicants in the Philippines must complete biometric (face photograph and fingerprint scan) collection for each application lodged, irrespective of their nationality, unless they are excluded or exempt from the biometric program.

Biometrics are collected through a quick and easy process that captures a photograph of your face and a 10-digit electronic fingerprint. Applicants will be required to provide their biometrics each and every time they apply for a visa.

When you lodge your application online, you will be sent a request to provide personal identifiers (biometrics) via email. You should make an appointment to attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre (ABCC) in person to provide your biometrics. Take a copy of that email and your passport to the appointment.

You must provide your biometrics within 14 days of online lodgement or notify the relevant visa processing office if unable to do so.

VFS Global operates two ABCCs in the Philippines (in Manila and Cebu). The ABCC will charge a service fee for the collection of biometrics.

For more information about biometric collection procedures, fees charged, contact details, ABCC locations, or to book your biometrics appointment, please visit Welcome to VFS Global| vfsglobal.

*Please note that applicants who lodged between 4 April and 21 April 2022 may no longer be required to provide biometrics. Australia’s Department of Home Affairs has emailed applicants where biometric collection has been waived.

Waah Sir salamat po! Hopefully makuha namin. We decided to wait nalang po tutal malapit na naman ata. Hehhesalamat po. Balitaan ko kayu agad pag natanggap na namin yung blessings.

Hi po, ano po difference nang pre-invite and final invite?? may nabasa po kasi ako na 14 days lang daw and given period to accept the pre-invite, while 60 days for final invite.. any clarifications po on this? thanks

Yung 14 days po is kapag nag-aapply ng state nomination. Once you are successful and granted with state nomination, you will receive an ITA (final invite) po and will have 60 days to proceed with the visa application.

Unfortunately, if this is the case po, hindi na po siya nare-refund

Hi! For those who have lodged their visa or have been granted already, can you please confirm—

Did you have your skill assessment result certified? Or is it okay to just upload the file emailed by the assessing body?

I clicked kasi sa more infos of each requirement, and I just recently found this out. Yung need to have some files certified. How strict?

Salamat ng marami sa makakasagot!

Kung 'yung skills assessment result po, no need po for certification. Yung mismong bigay po ng assessing body would be enough.

yep not required. but officers may have the access to check your travel history online, so as suggested - still declare even if it's just a short trip

Any changes po samin nilagay ko sa Immiaccount. Through notification of changes on circumstances. Kasi mas gusto lo namin na trasparent sa CO kesa malaman nila tapos maquestion pa. 😊

Sige po, gawin ko din yan. Yung pass ko dito sa SG need din kasi iupdate otherwise di nila alam current whereabouts ko since expired na pass ung nasa application namin.
Good luck @ga2au, sana magrant na kau soon at lahat ng 2019 lodgement and hopefully sumunod na kameng 2020 pa naglodge. Waiting for 30 months na din kame. Nakakaloka... Hopefully malapit na din kame ma CO contact. 🙏
