Not sure if may same situation kami dito but tanong ko na din Nag lodge kami ng visa mga last week of Oct 2022. Then 1st week of Dec 2022 we provided biometrics. Since then wala pa kaming nareceive na update requesting for medical. Normal lang bang timeline yun? Hindi naman sa nagmamadali but I see some applications na almost instantly received request to do medical? TIA

hello, you mean hindi pa po kayo nagpapa-medical since nag-lodge kayo ng visa?

Conboyboy · April 2023

Guys, may special button pa ba na pipindutin after lodgement ng visa?

Health assessment naka reflect na - no action required.

Yung other attachments nagawa na - police clearances etc.

May nabasa kasi ako na may i press pa na button but i cant seem to find it na parang ALL attached.

yes po. inaantay namin ung formal request ng CO for medical. i believe ung iba nagpapamedical na ahead of time. kaso may expiration yata ung medical kaya magschedule lang kami upon CO request.

yes, karamihan po dito is nagpapamedical na before pa ng CO request to reduce the time of waiting. although tama naman din po yung reason niyo kasi nga nag-eexpire yung medical after 1 year and super expensive kapag uulitin. kaso based sa mga ibang experiences ng mga nag-lodge dito na nababasa ko, parang masyado na po ata matagal yung 6 months na paghihintay niyo for the CO to request for your medical. usually po kasi based sa trend ngayon, especially for those who lodged their visas last October 2022 and did their medicals before the CO contact, visa grant na yan. So you might want to consider doing your medical ahead of time.

Saan part po yan? Wala ata sa akin.

Pwede ka rin naman mag-schedule na lang muna a few months ahead, para at least may slot ka na. For example, if kaka-lodge mo lang, you can schedule your medicals 3/4 months from then, for example. Based off of the trend lang ngayon ng timeline. Either way, good luck!

Hi po, question lang po, gaano po kaya katagal ang visa grant decision if na s56 po?

In my case, I received CO po last April 5, asking to provide updated Saudi PCC and no other request.

Submitted po today, April 13 po.

TIA po sa makakasagot

Got s56 last March 28, PCC lang din yun hiningi. Further assessment pa din till now.

Wow may kapareho po pala ako, hopefully ndi na siya tumagal pa like more than 1 month po hehe.

Kelan po kau nagrespond sa request?

Further Assessment din po status ko ngayon, pero kahapon lang ako nagsubmit ng pcc po

Update update na lang po tau, salamat po 🙂

March 28 din inupload ko un NBI, hehehe, actually I have the NBI na a week before pa, pero nakalimutan ko sya iupload agad.. hahaha naabutan pa ng CO contact kaya ko lang naalala.

Update update nalang po, 2nd CO contact ko na pala yan, una is nag-add ng baby tapos medical ni baby, as per trend sa aking CO contacts umabot ng almost a month sya bago mabalikan ng CO.

Ohh bale pede pala umabot sa 2 CO contact po sya?

Anyway hoping for the best sa atin na mga further assessment na po 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Ooh, not sure bakit magkaiba. If I recall correctly, nag prompt yung system na mag submit ng additional documents (Form 80 and 1221). When I uploaded them, it required me to click that button after para maconfirm na submitted na lahat for processing.

maureentrinidadc · April 2023

Hi, just a question, is it possible that a visa grant will be made a year after the invitation? Has it happened to anyone particularly in 491? Thank you po sa makakasagot.

You mean, if pwede ma-grant ang 491 visa mo 1 year after mo ma-invite? It's not really based on date of invitation, but rather date kung kailan ka nag-lodge ng 491 visa application mo. Can that happen a year after your lodgement? Yes. In fact, current trends point to less than a year, mga 6 months yata based sa recent 491 grants na naaalala ko.

Thanks bro. Might be because when i clicked to submit before, kumpleto na attachments ko including form 80 and PCC.

So far ito na nakalagay sa health dec ko. So isip ko in order na.

Ung wife ko sinabihan sa SLEC BGC na may significant findings daw sa xray nia, tas nirequire kmi to present xray films na 3 months older. So the next day pina xray namin sya sa ibang hospital and brought the results together with the old film na meron sya before na cleared naman lahat.

After a week they called me saying na di daw usable ung old film ksi may scratches sya so they will just process the results and send the results to DHA.

After a almost 2 weeks, awa ng Dios, cleared naman medicals namin. No action required lahat ung status nmin.

Hope this helps po.

Hello po! Yes po. That same day din pero wala naman pinakita at sinabi kung ano ung “significant” findings na yun. That was a wednesday. By Friday ako bumalik to submit the xray films po.

luidmanahan · April 2023

Hello po, good morning!
Ask ko lang if po anyone here waiting for grant na lang then nag resign on their current company? Curious lang po if this is okay or there would be any implications regarding the applications since some of the documents submitted during application are from the current company.

Appreciate any inputs po. Salamat!

Though we are planning to start our job applications while preparing for our big move. Need din po namin mag-ipon pa ng dadalhing pocket money. haha. Wala po kaming relatives there. We did not seek help from our family since we're both supporting them pa po.

Hope you could give us tips especially sa mga nakapag-big move na po. Maraming Salamat po!
