Hello guys,
I have been reading all the posts and comments on this thread like a week ago and I have just decided to join right now, it's really very informative. Anyway, I have just lodged my subclass 309 partner visa just last March 27,2013 then by the end of April last month I have just able to send my additional documents which is the NBI and a few emails of my partner and I had without even having the Case Officer nor the embassy asking me to do so,its only the VIA officer when I passed my application says that I should get a NBI and call their call center to submit it. What worries me a bit is that on the purpose of my NBI I have stated that it's for IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENT.

I've been checking the Embassy's website though and I am very glad to see that they're now processing/assessing/allocating applicant's lodged until April 5,2013 for the partner visa so yeah finger's crossed for me.

As of 6 May 2013, the Visa and Immigration Office is processing/assessing/allocating applications lodged within the period indicated below.

Visa Sub-class Permanent Visa Category Application Lodgement Dates*
Partner Visa Applications (309, 100, 300) 5 April 2013
Aged Dependant Relative (114) 22 April 2013
Remaining Relative (115) 22 April 2013
Career (116) 22 April 2013
Child (subclass 101, 117, 445) 22 April 2013
Citizenship by Descent 22 April 2013

@RF_angel25
Hi, I also applying on a de facto grounds of the partner visa. I just want to ask when did you lodged your application and how is it going? Thanks po

gin05 · May 2013

@forevern4always pambihira naman yong case officer ko pinapahirapan ako...:-(

forevern4always · May 2013

@gin05, baket naman? Anyareee sa co mo?

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@forevern4always hello nag email na ako to followup my application, same day nag reply sa akin hindi na yung CO ko, yung name ay foriegner na....sabi nya ay "we are waiting on the medical results to be verified by MOC(based in Australia) and that a decision cannot be made until a response from MOC is rcvd...feel free to send a followup email in 8 weeks"....

So yun another 8 more weeks of waiting. Sorry guys naka bakasyon mode ako ngayon di ako maka reply agad sa discussion.

Ano kaya yung MOC, wala ako idea bakit nakarating pa dun medical ko. ok naman daw sabi ng nationwide health.

Cheers to everyone :-)

Hello RF_angels25

MOC stand's for Medical Officer of the Commonwealth which is based in Australia, they are gonna be the one to assess your health examinations reports. check mo to http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/health-requirements/assessment-health-exam-results.htm...

Anyway, kailan po ba kayo nag undergo nang medical po? I'm also a de facto partner visa applicant.

elena05 · May 2013

@RF_angel25 if i remember it right, dun sa ibang thread... kapag may nakitang findings ang co... they need to pass the medical to moc and then moc will decide if ur medical is ok or not... but.. bakit walang advise sayo?? o kaya sinabo sayo nun co mu?

forevern4always · May 2013

@RF_angel25, Medical Officer of the
Commonwealth (MOC)... sila ang may final say sa ating medical. Sa Australia yan, ganyan nga din ang response ng embassy saken that they are waiting for the results of my medical... 8weeks b ang tagal nman, almost 2 months pa. Bka naman average lng yun. Lets pray maging maayos n ang health system ng australia, yan isa reason kung baket matagal ang processing ng visa naten eh. Nabasa n rin ng husband ko n they are now having 4 months backlog as there are so many assylim seekers rin n nghihintay ng decision with regards their medical. Sana mas priority tayo kz ang laki ng bayad naten. Eh cla tumatawid lng by boat. Lets be patient.

icancurhalo · May 2013

@forevern4always
for my understanding lang po huh, eh pag may findings na nakita ang case officer mo sa health examination reports mo eh that's the time they're gonna refer it to MOC, co'z if wala naman they can be cleared by the visa processing officer as what they stated on their assessment of health Examination Results on their website of immi.

RF_angel25 · May 2013

ganito kase yun mga pre, im applying for defacto, i have 2 kids in my previous marriage, and kahit di ko sila isama sa pag migrate sa Aus the law says that any dependents under marriage will have to undergo medical check...so yun yung additional requirement ko na i was able to complete naman...then after my face to face interview the following day tumawag si co kase nawawala yung medical nung isang anak ko, then yun nga nahanap na daw nya...so after that wala ng ni ha ni ho si CO ko kase sabi nya within 2 months daw ako maghntay pa....nag double check naman ako sa nationwide health ng medical ko OK naman daw walang problem, then yung sa mga bata ok naman din daw at kinulit ko pa yung doctor sa cebu nationwide health kasama na secretary nya at yung taga data entry nya since sinamahan ko mga kids ko dun at di ako umalis ng cebu until di ko makuha ang result, since naka base ako sa manila dito ang medical check ko and yung sa mga kids ko sa cebu since dun naman sila naka base with their mom na may new famiy na rin.
then this week nag email ako to followup kase wala na akong narinig sa CO ko, yun na ang nag reply sakin Aussie na yun nga daw na refer sa MOC...

Pero naka highlight naman sa email nya na within processing time pa rin daw ako which is 6 to 9 months, so yun positive pa rin ako kahit papano.

More prayers...

forevern4always · May 2013

Rf.. Pasasaan bat makkaalis k rin. Oo pray lng, as long as pinoprocess naman nila iyan, yun ang importante. Khit matagal, at least they inform u naman pla kung ano need n doc n dapat ipass. lagi nila sinasabi yang processing time na 6-9 months at yun din sinabi ng clerk saken dun sa via center, cguro ayaw lng nila tlga mg expect ang clients, for us not to pest them lalo nat they are assessing lots of visas everyday. Mapalad lng talga yung nggrant agad ng 3months or 4 months. Keep us informed bro. God bless.

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@forevern4always may nabasa ako sa "referred to MOC" thread, may email ad dun na pwede mag inquire about applicants which was referred to MOC, pero im not sure kung applicable yun sa Partner Visa 309. Nag ask ako if i can inquire from that email dun sa thread nila.
Yung CO ko naman di man lang ako sinabihan about my medical which was reffered to MOC and yung nag reply sa email ko hindi na yung CO ko, ang title nya ay SMO, di rin nya sinabi kung kelan nila nai-refer sa MOC, sa kabilang thread may mga MOC referral dates sila dun from their CO...so di ako sure kung applicable ba yun sa Partner Visa.

RF_angel25 · May 2013

eto yung reply na na-rcv ko nung nag email ako sa CO to inquire about my visa application status.
Yung inquiry ko inaddress ko sa CO ko, mga after 10 minutes lang nireply ako agad.
meaning ba nito sya na CO ko?

Dear xxxxx

Thanks for your email.

We are currently waiting on the medical results to be verified by a Medical
Officer of the Commonwealth (based in Australia). Please note that this
can take some time and expect that we will get a response from the MOC in
approximately 8 weeks. A decision on this case cannot be made until a
response is received by the MOC nor can I escalate this case.

Your case was lodged on October 2012 and you should be aware that we take
6-9 months to process partner visa applications.

We appreciate your patience in this matter but feel free to send a follow
up email in 8 weeks if you have not heard from this office.

Regards

elena05 · May 2013

@RF_angel25 un nga ung nakakapagtaka dun... dapat sinabi sayo nun co mu nun nag face to face kayo...

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@elena05 ang inisip ko baka yung medical check nung mga kids ko kase mas nauna ako nag medical upon lodging my application after 5 days lang yata nagpa medical na ako..then since di ko naman isasama yung mga kids kaya di ko sila pina medical, and yun nga my co contacted me na i have to have my kids medical kase according to migration law, so i had my kids medical check na rin nung Feb....then nung nag face to face interview kami nung March, after a day lang she called me nga kase di nya mahanap yung medical result ng mga bata...so naisip ko baka yung sa mga kisa ko ang na refer sa MOC...pero alam naman ni CO na di ko sila isasama sa pag migrate ang mga kids at di papayag yung nanay nila.

forevern4always · May 2013

Rf... I think its not actually "referred". Yun pagkkaintindi ko kz sa email n iyan, kung may nkita sa medical mo straight away papaulitin k sa medical mo at ang embassy mgsasabi sau kung saan k mgpapagamot. Wala p kz ako nkita n thread na Partner Visa ang apply na nareferred ang medical since hindi naman referred ang ginamit n term ng senior officer mo I believe. He said he was waiting for results from moc. Yun kz iba ng ng apply I think narereceive nila mismo sa email nila if referred, referred tlga ang term. Na checheck nila yung status nila sa vevo, binibigay sa knila ang password or transaction number. Just an opinion, I guess yung mga may experience dito n na referred ang medical sa moc mkapagshare sana. Wala p kz tlga ako nabasa n partner visa n nareferred sa moc. I know some mga nadetect n my active tb, ngpaculture at ngpositive pa. So they are now on medication... Wait nila matapos ung gamutan 6 months yun. Ininform cla ng embassy about it. Mahabang process yun, kya I dont think papaghihintayin k nila ng almost 6 now, kung my problema medical mo.

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@icancurhalo hello! Complicated masyado case ko, pero may liwanag naman kahit konti...basta wait mo instruction ng CO mo kung ano additinal docs hihingin sayo specifically yung proof of relationship nyo ng partner mo...wag ka magdelete ng txt messages nyo, iscreenshot mo na lahat, skype, fb messages basta lahat ng evidence ng communication nyo.

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@forevern4always thank you sa opinion mo medyo nawala pagka depress ko, yung gf ko naman panic agad gusto tatawagan ko na naman nationwide health to double check the findings sa medical ko...siguro hintayin ko muna konti, on the 6th week mag inquire ulit ako pag walang paramdam.

Binasa ko nga buong thread ng MOC referred, walang nag share dun under partner visa...sana ok naman result from MOC.
Thanks again and i'll get u posted here pag may balita na.

hi RF_angel, yup be patient lang...ganyan dn ung case ng partner ko, onshore kami nag apply ng partner visa nya. Then nung ni request na sya ng CO n mag medical test, unfortunately, may nakita sa urine test nya. D ko matandaan ung exact na condition pero mataas ung level ng creatinin yata yon, basta nung nag google ako parang mataas ung protein level sa urine nya and potential n magkaron ng mga complications. Mahirap p nman dto sa Au ndi ka pwedeng pumunta agad ng specialist, sa GP muna then ung GP re refer sa specialist. Then since tourist ung visa nya ndi sya covered ng medicare at walang insurance kaya ang gastos. Ayun after ilang balik sa specialist naging ok nman na visa grant sya total time inabot ay 3 months from the time na nag lodge ng application until ma approve. Pero standard na sinasabi ung 9-12 months kc nung nagsubmit daw sya ng mga requirements s DIAC office dto sa melbourne yan dn ang sabi sa kanya and pati dun sa acknowledgement letter na nareceive nmin 9-12 months ang processing time kaya na surprise dn ako nung after 1 1/2 months nya mag submit e may CO na sya agad medyo natagalan lang sa medical pero visa grant dn nman.

Based po sa email sa inyo,I think referred nga po ang medicals nyo. Kahit po kasi partner visa, pwede po ma-refer sa MOC ang medical results. Share ko po yung site na ito http://www.china.embassy.gov.au/bjng/DIMA03010304.html

MOC po kasi ang may final say kung may concern sa medicals. Pero don't worry, ma-clear din po yan. Konting hintay na lang.

gin05 · May 2013

@icancurhalo Hello po, kaka-submit ko lang ulit ng NBI ko last friday..sa tuesday pa raw un ma receive ng embassy.. ang inaalala ko lang din is my medical result... :-( nung nag-email sa akin ang CO ko, wala rin naman kasi siyang binanggit about my medical, yong NBI certificate lang ang hiningi..gusto ko na nga sana mag email sa CO ko kung ano status ng medical ko, kaso hesitant naman ako kasi nung March lang ako nag lodged eh, baka makulitan...:-) And if ever ma grant visa this year, sa December pa naman kasi ang plan ko na pumuntang AU with my son..kaya antay-antay nalang muna ako...sana lang walang problem sa medical... :-(

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@StickyNote thank you sa input! sana wala ng aberya or kung meron man sana ma resolve at malagpasan ko...sobrang hirap talaga ang entry to Australia, dadaan talaga sa butas ng karayum.

Within processing period pa naman so will have to wait...patience is a virtue...

RF_angel25 · May 2013

@gin05 u have enough time pala if Dec pa balak nyo pumunta ng Au, walang pressure masyado while kaming gusto ng umalis daming issues hehehe

gin05 · May 2013

@RF_angel25 hehe oo nga eh kasi may kelangan pa akong e-settle muna bago umalis ng bansa..pero mas mabuti narin kasi na mabigyan na ng decision yong visa application ng mas maaga-aga para kahit papaano eh mabawasan ang kaba at makahinga na ng maluwag.. hehe tsaka baka malay natin magbago ang isip ang isip at mapaaga ang alis.. hehe

Goodluck nalang sa ating lahat...:-) Kahit ba matagal ang processing basta ba ang ending is Visa Grant ok na yon at least worth it lahat ng paghihirap natin... :-)

icancurhalo · May 2013

@gin05
Buti kapa dinhi nagmamadaling umalis nang bansa,lol.. Pero oo nga, bahala nang matagal yong processing nang visa natin ang importante grant yong result! I lodged mine on March too which is on the 27th but as of now wala pa rin akong natanggap sa kanila. I believe naman na completo yong papers na napasa ko, nag wo worry lang ko medyo sa akong NBI kasi yong nailagay ko na purpose eh IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENT, and if hihingi sila nang panibago it's gonna takes me 15 working days to supply it kasi HIT yong pangalan ko pero sana naman ka matisfy na yong konsino man humahawak ngayon sa aking case. Wait nalang tayo at wag na natin kuliton yong embassy kasi im sure ginagawa naman nila yong mga trabaho nila..

gin05 · May 2013

Hi guys! nag email ako sa embassy about the status of my medical exam..hindi nga lang ang case officer ko ang nagreply sa akin...and ito ang sabi niya...

Dear XXXXX,

Thank you for you email.

Per system check, we already have received the result of your medical
examination.

Your case officer will get in touch with you should you need to provide
additional information and if a medical examination is required.

--I just hope ok na ang medical ko since NBI lang ang hiningi sa akin ng case officer ko.. :-(
