Ano po ba best move while waiting sa grant then nalaman na pregnant si wife? Inform DHA, yes. But how and when po kaya best time to inform so as not to delay po yung possible grant? Lets say 5 months pregnant na po ba or yung hindi na sya allowed mag travel?

If kumpleto niyo na lahat ng requirements ni DHA and you're just really waiting for the grant, then you can only inform them of your change in circumstance. I'm not sure if they can hasten or delay your application due to this change (I'm leaning towards them still assessing at their own pace, but that's a personal opinion). At this point you can hope for 2 results:
1) Get granted soon and have the baby in Au. Instant Au citizen si baby.
2) Grant gets significantly delayed that the baby gets delivered in Ph (if andito ka sa Pinas), you are able to add them in your application, and the grant will include them as well.
Absolute worst case will be for the grant to arrive before delivery outside of Au, as this will require you to apply a child visa for the baby for them to be able to come with you.
To provide some reference, we got invited last 6 Oct 2022, then found out wife was pregnant 2 weeks after invite. We agreed to delay our medical exam until after our baby's delivery to ensure that she will be included in our application. Only difference with your case is that this option was available to us at the time; not sure about yours.
Good luck!

Hi everyone!
Just to ask for info.
My husband's student visa will expire in 2025, waiting for 189 grant.
He needs to travel to Phils. Need ba nya mag.apply for Bridging Visa B or hindi na since valid pa naman SV nya to return to AU?
Thank you po sa insights nyo.
Joined: Apr 01, 2023
If valid pa po yung student visa nya, no need to apply for BVB. Maactivate lang ang BV kapag nagexpire yung substantive visa (which is yung Student Visa).

Hello, question lang para sa mga nakaka-alam, itong commencement email ba natatanggap before or after ma-CO contact? Naka agent kasi kami so di na kami na update if meron na ba kami nito pero na CO contact na kami last April. Nov 2022 kami nag lodge.
Thanks!

Usually before. Commencement means sinimulan na iprocess application mo. If may CO contact ka na, nastart na iprocess iyo. Very inconsistent ang pagassign nila ng status eh, minsan may commencement, minsan straight to finalised.
