Shortened IED means shorter time to prepare for your move to Australia and probably shorter time to save up for relocation related expense.

2. google mo lang re-size pdf.. merong mga online na pwede..
3. there are several ways you can do:
- merge all pdf in one document and then of course resize.. example ang evidence of qualification, make it in one document (Diploma/TOR/Cert), tapos isang document din lahat ng work exp (Company1+Company2+Company3)
- or upload them separately, select mo yung type of doc, tapos upload Work Company 1.. then select mo ulit type of doc, then upload ulit Work Company2..

Dear Maylene:
I have already been forwarded PCCs and medicals to your case officer see below the email communication as a PROOF.
We have to wait some time (at least 2 months) to let the department to complete the security checks on the visa applcation. The timing for the completion of these checks varies from one case to another, depending on individual circumstances.
However, If we do not hear anything from department after passing two months from the date of submission of all docuemnts then we can make a follow up with them.
