so as long as you lodge before your cut-off (2 yrs after graduation).. that would be fine..

2) Hindi ko na pina-notarize yung mga statements
3) Yes. We have contracts and bills to prove that we lived together for more than a year.
Meron din kaming joint account pero May 2012 kami nag open, Feb 2013 kami nag lodge. So less than a year yun.

"If you have applied for an offshore GSM visa, your case officer will contact you when you need to undertake health and character checks."
From immi.gov.au,
"Medical examination results are only valid for a limited period of time. Therefore, you and any secondary applicants should not undertake medical examinations until requested to do so by the department."
"If you are applying outside Australia, you do not have to provide this (Police clearance) information when you apply. You will be advised when it is required.
If you are applying in Australia, you should provide this information with your application."

pero siguro as a respect, introduce ko muna sarili ko. im a UP engg grad too. 2 years ago. so hindi na ako pwede mag-apply for this visa. BUT, i am doing grad stud now abroad. yung university ko ngayon eh one of the recognized schools din ng visa na ito. so with that, one of my question is:
1. can i really apply for this visa using my new university abroad?
another question is:
2. I took IELTS in 2011. Can I still use it should I lodge an application this year? Nabasa ko kasi na for those who apply on or after JUL 2012, the test must be sat no more than THREE YEARS before the application. Eto o (copy pasted from the website):
Applications made on or after 1 July 2012 must be from a test you sat no more than three years before the day of application.
You are deemed to meet the English Language threshold competent English if you hold a valid passport from, and are a citizen of, one of the following countries:
United Kingdom (UK)
Canada
New Zealand
United States of America (USA)
Republic of Ireland.
Your test must have been completed before your visa application is lodged and be from a test you sat no more than two years before the day of making your application.
Pero sabi dun sa last sentence, two years lang dapat. Nakakalito yung rules nila regarding this matter! So tingin nyo, kumuha na lang ako ng IELTS ulit? Medyo mahal kasi siya hehe.
Help naman guys! Maraming salamat po!

I know that the medical and police clearance should be undertaken after a CO has been allocated, but I personally know someone who lodged her application April last year, with medical and police clearance front loaded, and within a month eh approved na sya.

@dglsp Yeah, alam ko nga dependent yung IED sa validity ng med cert and NBI. And I noticed too na yung mga Feb lodged applications na yung pinoprocess, so hopefully malapit na tayo. When did you lodge your application?

but if you are really not in a hurry to move to AU, i suggest wait for a CO, or estimate the CO allocation time, and submit your medicals/pcc if you know na malapit ka ng magka -CO..
that way, hindi masyadong maapektuhan ang IED mo.. you will still have approx 1 year to enter AU..
