@crisanthony bale po mag send sila ng official email sa registered email. Ung sa amin nakita ko lang sa mirrored immi account na finalised na then may message regarding sa grant letter. Pero official letter si agent ang nag forward sa amin.

Hello question po sa may experience or may kakilala na similar sa situation namin.
Currently, waiting po kami for grant. Lodged our visa application for PR 190 VIC last February 8 with Software Engineer occupation.
At present, pregnant din po ako (main applicant) at 6 months. Once manganak ako, pwede naman daw po mag notification sa visa application ng change of circumstances for additional applicant.
My question is “what if” ma grant yung Visa namin bago ako manganak? Let’s say at my 8th/9th month which means that di rin po ako pede bumyahe pa OZ para mag give birth since almost due ko na din. Another application po ba to para sa baby namin since di ko sya masasama sa application namin dahil granted na? Thanks po!

Based on Child Migration booklet:-
"Children born outside Australia to parents who are not Australian citizens do not automatically acquire
Australian citizenship and they are not eligible for citizenship by descent. Therefore, children born outside
Australia to permanent resident parents will need to apply for and be granted a migration (ie. permanent
resident) visa to be able to enter and remain in Australia with their parents."

Hi! Wala naman po ako medical condition. Nagmessage ako sa NHS po nung may clearance na yung defacto ko and examinations in progress pa din sakin, sabi nila for upload na yung results ko. Tatawag daw sila if may ipapagawa, pero kapag ok yung results iuupload na. Then same day inupload nila po and nagchange yung status sa “Examinations ready for assessment- no action required”. A week after no updates pa din sa clearance ang nagsearch na ako sa mga groups marami din situation na same sakin kahit sa mga Student visa applicants. Meron 10 days, 2 weeks or 3 weeks bago nag ka clearance. Feb 20 no updates pa din So nagmessage ako uli kay NHS dahil nakakakaba nga po then nagsend sila nung e-medicals na pdf nakalagay yung date of upload (feb13) and completed na mga tests then yung negative IGRA result. So nakahinga hinga naman ako po haha tapos feb 23 8am ph time may health clearance na
then a week after may grant na 
Inisip ko din baka dahil sa additional tests for health care workers since pinadala sa ibang labs yung sample gaya ng IGRA na sa St Luke’s lang ata may machine. Or talagang maari po na madaming backlogs si bupa. Magfollow up ka siguro sa clinic po. Then Wait ka nalang po, may clearance na yan in a few days
God bless!

Hi po. Baka may same situation po.
May CO contact po kame ng Feb 21, asking for additional documents regarding sa evidence of relationship to your spouse dahil hindi daw po kame same ng address sa forms. Yung nasubmit po namin form 80 different address pa po, 1 month after po kasi namin kinasal may invite na. Nag update na po ako ng ID na same address kame as a proof na we are living together. Ask ko po kung kailangan ko mag update sa immiaccount ng address at name? Worry ko po baka ma question na iba na address at name ko sinubmit kong ID, hindi na same sa immiaccount.
Thank you very much po. 🥰
