Waiting for CO ==> Let's unite & be heard :)

legato09 · July 2013

correct @Alexmae

@pmzinoz halfday lang po ng Saturday...better call them now and magpa-appointment na po kayo.

Question sa meron ng mga CO, how did you know na may CO na kayo? Is there an email that you received? Or need to login always sa site? Thank you!

jengrata · July 2013

@Jcs0703 Technically di mo malalaman kasi di sya nilalagay sa eVisa. Pero may times na nageemail ang CO pag may need syang information or clarifications from you. Pero pag wala, magugulat ka na lang may result na application mo. Puede mo rin yata itanong sa DIAC.

Agree, for some people there were instances wherein they just gotten their visa grant letter as they have already submitted their medicals, PCC and all their papers are complete and without any problems.

My experience though as we came from Singapore, nag-email ang CO asking us to produce a PCC from the Singapore/Philippine authorities and along with it nagbigay ng letter of request address to the SG Police.

Thanks @TasBurrfoot and @jengrata! Sana magparamdam na si CO soon, kasi SG based din ako, para ma process ko na police clearance dito.

Nakaka inspire timeline nyo!

wait wait lang po, usually after a week or the worst before 4 weeks of waiting bago mag paramdam.

rei_ya · July 2013

helo po! sna tamang thread to sa question ko.. kaka reciv ko lang po ng DIAC invite.. as of now, nka apply na po ang Dubai PCC (around 2 weeks results), at Qatar PCC (around 3-4mos result).. hndi pa po ako ng lodge ng visa, worry ko kc bka may deadline ang submission ng reqd docs like PCC, e bka hndi umabot ung qatar PCC nmin.

To lodge, may 60days po tyo db.. after lodging, may deadline po ba to submit reqd docs? or up to you kung kelan mo ma produce yung hinihingi nila?

jengrata · July 2013

@rei_ya yes 60 days bago magexpire ung EOI invites mo dapat maglodge ka na. Yung mga required docs puede ka magupload anytime as long as in process pa rin ang status ng eVisa mo. Pag nag ka-CO ka na, saka lng magkakaroon ng deadline kpag nanghingi sya ng additional na docs sayo.

If for example naglodge ka na at nagkaCO ka na agad bago mo pa maupload yang mga PCC mo, at hindi pa rin aabot sa deadline nya, what you can do is show the receipt or any document na magpapatunay na napply ka ng PCC. For sure nmn sa application mo nakalagay kung gaano kahaba ang processing time. I think may idea din ang mga CO ng processing time ng mga PCC sa ibat ibang bansa.

But if naglodge ka at wala ka pa ding CO until such time na ready na mga PCC mo, you can upload it walang problema.

@jengrata salamat po.. kung i-click ko po ba "apply" sa skillselect, tapos di pa ko mgbabayad (gusto ko lang makita ung nxt steps at ma fillup ung mga dapat fillup).. hndi pa sya considered lodge db? meaning wlang effect sa timeline ko (except for 60days deadline to lodge) kung di pa nman ako ngbabayad.. tama po ba?

Yes, puede ka na magdraft ng eVisa mo. mas advisable na ulit-ulitin mong ireview ung mga nilagay mo sa eVisa bago ka magbayad. And yes hindi pa sya considered as lodge

rei_ya · July 2013

@jengrata ok thnks so much po.. last month lang po visa nyo.. good luck po sa new journey nyo..

jengrata · July 2013

@rei_ya yw

yeah mainit init pa. hehehe. Salamat and all the best to your application. If you have questions and in doubt, ask ka lng dito. Maraming handang magshare ng experiences nila

Bigfoot · July 2013

Hi @ianne27, @jengrata, @legato09 thanks! Was out the whole month of June. Nag request ako ng extension to submit my SG COC and was granted until 20 July 2013 kaso sa 22 July pa release due to increase in requests for COCs.

@ianne27, NA po initials ng CO ko.

Praying that well be receiving our visas soon.

Congrats po!

Bigfoot · July 2013

Tanong ko lang po, meron ba dito unemployed before receiving visa grant and still was granted a visa? I have resigned from my work last May and have informed my CO about my change in circumstance, will this be a cause for my visa denial?

Also, our passports will be expiring on Feb 2014 and I intend to apply for replacement passports by August. Should we wait for our visa approval to be released before changing our passports or should we have it changed prior to receiving the visa grant?

Thank you guys in advance for your replies. God bless!

Resignation from work should not be a problem mate... And this is just for records purposes I believe as they will focus on your credentials PRIOR upon submission of visa application.

Passports, it doesn't really matter on your timing... Just make sure that when you do replace your passports, DIAC or your CO should be informed accordingly.

Bigfoot · July 2013

@TasBurrfoot- thanks pre, that's a relief to know!

legato09 · July 2013

@bigfoot tama si bossing TasBurrfoot, replacing your passport will not be an issue, ako po ang isang mabuting halimbawa hehehehe nag lodge po ako ng EOI and NSW apps ko pa expire na passport ko, bago po ako mag lodge ng visa apps eh meron na po ako bagong passport. wag nyo lang po kakalimutan I-inform si diac by submitting the correct form and also mention it to your CO kapag meron kana CO.

Abangan ko po results ng case mo. I plan to resign din end of August - meron or walang grant. Di ko na kinakaya work ko. Hahahaha. (:|

Bigfoot · July 2013

@legato09 - Thanks madam! ung sa akin po kasi e may CO na ako and ang rinequest na lang is ung Evidence of Character. Na provide na po namin NBI clearance and ung SG COC na lang kulang. I'm thinking if it will be more advisable if we have our passports changed na lang once we receive the visa grant.

Bigfoot · July 2013

@GoodLuckAU - Hi po, we'll let you know the result once I submit our SG COC on the 22nd of July 2013.

Oh cool, kung makakahintay naman po ang passport renewal better and kung wala naman kayo plan travel ahead of you. Lapit na po yan ;-)

Kung wala naman problema you can drop by sa cantonment 2days advance sa release date baka ma release na, though wala pa naka pag try nito, pero nakita ko po kasi dun sa COC ko 2days prior to release yung date sa document eh ;-)

pmzinoz · July 2013

Still waiting for CO here, not uploading any documents yet.. baka ito mag trigger at magparamdam ang CO ko...

jcs0703 · July 2013

legato09 · July 2013

@jcs0703 almost complete kana ah, puede kana mag NBI clearance and upload na din and also fill up kana ng FORM80 medyo mahaba haba yun.

jcs0703 · July 2013

@legato09 Sana nga magparamdam na ang CO ko para makapag process na sa SG Police Clearance...

tontoronsky · July 2013
