Hi, ask ko lang po kung ang correspondence ng CO nakikita din po ba sa immiaccount or sa email lang po (sa case namin sa agent namin). Thank you.

Both po

golddragon · November 2022

@ga2au thank you po sa sagot. Congrats po sa grant.

gorgeous_gal · November 2022

Hi po. Ask ko lang po where sa ImmiAccount need i-attach ang Form 80 and Form 1221? Looking for it sa Attach Documents part, but hindi ko makita na hinahanap yung both forms.

thank you, @mikelle and @Rizza

Unfortunately, walang other option na lumabas sa Character History part ng attach documents ko, only Police Clearance.

Was wondering nga din kung yung NBI ay saan i-a-attach.

Once paid po, may lalabas na Other option sa Attachments kaya siguro ung iba sa Character History na sya inaupload para before payment po.

Binalak din namin icancel yung private insurance pero we decided to keep it, sayang kasi yung waiting period. Nagdowngrade na lang kami from 250dol to 186dol. May refund naman makukuha from Medicare pagdating ng end of FY. Oks na din samin yun.

Congratulations sa mga na-grant lately! Padagdag na rin sa mga naghihintay ng grant.

Visa 189, family of 4 (offshore)
Lodged date: Oct 26, 2022
Medical exams all cleared: Nov 28, 2022

Sana mabilis lang rin ang result kapag family application

C0pper · December 2022

Congrats po sa mga na grant.

Na CO contact na rin po kami for medical. Sa mga nagpa medical po sa Pinas (ex. St. Luke's), ilang days po before nasubmit ng clinic yung result sa DHA?

Iniisip kase namin na magpa medical sa Dec 22 since uuwi kami pero baka inde kami umabot sa Dec 30 (28 days) na deadline. Any advise po?

Pwede naman kayung magpamedical. Kubg di aabot ng 28 days pakita niyo nlng na nagpamedical na kayu ng Dec 22. Usually naman CO bumabalik sila 2-3months after CO so I think aabot yung medical niyo

I applied for 491 (sadly my occupation is not available for 190), so hopefully when we get our grant I can provide feedback.

Cerberus13 · December 2022

Hello, sorry for hijacking this thread again for a question.

Para sa mga ofw na need kumuha ng police clearance from their previous host countries, may country ba na ni-require kayo ng correspondence or letter from AU Home Affairs stating that you need a police clearance for visa application? For now kasi di ko ma aatach tong mga clearance na 'to since Japanese and Irish authorities cannot just provide it without "reason" and they need the letter from AU. Pano po ginawa niyo? Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. May i ask po when did you submit your application? Thanks

ina008 · December 2022

Hello po! Tanong ko lang. Yung application ba pag once na Received, nagiging Initial Assessment automatically yung status once meron ng request for medical? or Received pa rin yun unless may assigned na sa visa application mo?
