question po sana...
in addition, could i include my parents and siblings in the application? i no longer live in the same house because i live in manila na and they are in another island... will it affect my application kung ako lang mag isa ang mag apply for now? is it bad na ako lang and have never been to australia? i'm doubting myself na...

agree with @nfronda..
- nothing wrong with applying alone..
- mahirap isama ang parents at mga siblings.. may mga guidelines dyan..
at im sure na mahihirapan tayo..
- gusto ko ding gawin yan, pero mahirap talaga..
- so continue with your application and dont worry too much..

"IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT".
John 14:14
Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

Sino ang mag fill up ng Form 1221? Ako or my husband? Visa 190 ako and I'll be migrating to AU with my husband and 1 year old baby.
I'm confused because yung form is naka attach sa part ng husband ko, pero when I went through the form parang questions yun para sa Main Applicant.
Wala pa akong assigned CO kaya hindi ko din matanong sa kanila. May nakagawa na ba sa inyo nito? Please help, thank you!

1) try mo ang debit card...
2) or ask for increase in credit limit sa cc mo..
3) or make advance payment sa cc (example credit limit is 100k, you pay 50k = 150k)
check with your bank if this is possible..
4) borrow someone's cc

Ongoing ung pag fill up namin ng Form 1221 for Visa 190. May question ako re sa Employment Status details in this form.
It said: give details of your employment (including internships, work and periods of unemployment).
Kailangan pa ba ilista yung period of unemployment kahit 2 to 3 months lang? Reason is looking for a job, etc
I just want to be sure para ma lessen yung documents na hanapin sa Amin ng CO, just in case.
Thank you!

Regarding po dun sa question on employment... may period po na 7-8 months na walang work ang spouse ko...we just put there the period of employment...di na po kami nag specify the reasons for the gaps. So far, wala naman po comment ang CO namin.
Baka po kapag hiningan na kami ng form 80, that form requires details of employment and unemployment.
