Medyo nalito lang po ako sa validity na nakalagay sa website on medical specially dun sa 6 months kapag may health undertaking.
_"The results of your health assessment are valid for 12 months from the time you completed your examinations. If we ask you to sign a health undertaking, this will be valid for 6 months." _
December 5 - Medical in St. Lukes
December 12 - Received request from Bupa for additional test on my husband. Ako and si baby is clear.
January - Sputum Collection
March - (1) Result of Sputum (2) repeat xray done
March 29 - Health Clearance Provided to my husband
May 1 - Received S56 request for health undertaking form
May 7 - Submitted health undertaking
Considering the timeline po, san po ba magsastart ung counting ng 6 months validity for my husband's medical? Appreciate your inputs po. Thank you sa mga sasagot!

May mga ka-batch ba ako dito From April 2023? 190 NSW here. Electrical Engineer.
May factor ba yung points pag nalodge na yung visa? Or parang back to zero na lahat ng mga non-priority once naglodge ng visa? Anxiety is real. Haha

Mukang wala naman pong factor Sir, parang meron lang sila mga random grants per occupation, state, and subclass per week, hehe based lang naman sa observation ko.
