Hello, sa case po namin nagta-transfer kami ng pera dun sa bank ng agency tapos sila na po ang nagbayad gamit yung Agency bank. Hindi lang po siya nacredit kagad so nagpapaupdate kami kapag natanggap na po nila ang pera.

A bit intimidating, may compromise your CC details. may agent let may pay all the fees from skill assessment to visa lodgment. if you are not comfortable, you can suggest to let them know if you can pay by yourself. the payment is quite straightforward.

Gaano ba kahirap mag lodge ng visa? Nakakapagtaka lang dahil yung agent ko hanggang nagyon hindi pa din nag lo lodge, halos ilang araw na lang ang deadline, naibigay na lahat ng kailangan at bayad. Bakit kaya ganun?

IF you already send all the required docs and payment, the agent should able to lodge the visa in 1-2 days.

Chances are marami silang clients, pero they should still be keeping you posted sa progress nila sa application mo. Are they responsive naman to your follow-ups? Medyo concerning yung days left na lang before your ITA expires.
Try mo i-follow up and take an assertive stance. Baka need din nila ng reminder na malapit na deadline ng iyo, then rightfully (but respectfully) demand a timeline.

Do you have other EOIs? Maybe the agent is waiting in case you also get another invitation for a better subclass? I think best is to ask the agent personally kasi we won't have the full picture of your situation.

Mayroon, pero nung nakakuha na nitong invitation, sinabi niya na wala ng point na magantay ng ibang invitation kasi hindi masasabi kung kelan magkakaroon pa ng rounds. Kaya, nag stick na siya dito.

Nagtanong din ako kung anu ang tingin niya sa nakuha na invitation at kung maaari pa bang mag antay ng ibang invitation, sagot saken, kakabigay ko lang ng invitation na natanggap mo. Kaya tingin ko hindi na siya mag move sa iba pa at mag stick nalang dito.

Good day everyone. I was granted 190 this year and as of the moment I am on vacation here in Sydney using visa 600. I am planning to go back in the Philippines and stay till early next year. My question is,
Is it advisable for me to apply (mag-asikaso) medicare while I'm still here in Syd? Magka-count na po ba na matax-an ako?
Looking forward for your suggestions and recommendations po. Thank you

You can only hold one visa at a time. If the 190 visa was granted after the 600 visa was granted, then you're currently in AU using your 190 visa. If your 600 visa was granted after your 190 visa then it would have overriden your PR and you can't apply for Medicare.
You can check which visa you currently have in VEVO https://online.immi.gov.au/evo/firstParty?actionType=query

Tanong lang po about sa police clearance na kukunin pa sa ibang bansa. Is it ok na ma delay yung pag upload ng police clearance as part of the requirements? unfortunately, next month pa ang available slot for fingerprints here in SG.

yes, yung iba nga po, naghihintay pa na irequest mismo ng CO yung police clearance or health checks kasi time-sensitive yung docs na yun. kaya pwede iupload yung police clearance after visa application

Hi Everyone good day!
I lodged my Visa 190 (Vic) application on April 11, 2023, I received actions required for health assessment but there is no request for biometrics collection. I am wondering if biometrics is still required? Anyone has the same situation? Thanks!
