Please helllllllpppp! :( Visa lodged with Agent

anneoz08 · October 2013

Hi all,

Anyone of you who lodged with an agent? Feeling ko kasi super bagal nung agent nmin gggrrrr!!!!
It's been 2 months na kasi since we applied and yet til now wala pang progress, we submitted all except ung medical ko as secondary applicant which he advised not to undergo examination unless told to do so. The problem is until now walang progress, wala pa ata kming CO and ung medical ni hubby done last July pa when I checked the visa online, recommended pa rin at organize your health examination nakalagay.
Whenever we're asking our agent ssbhin lang nya "mabagal po ang immigration ngayon ngpalit kasi ng prime minister tsaka mgpapasko kasi". What a stupid reason! Can you please advise us what to do? I think delayed na ung processing times nmin. Thanks in advance guys.

Ms. @anneoz08 , iba iba po ang timeline ng each visa subclass. Check nyo po sa agent nyo kung anong normal timeline ng VISA 187.

Kasi hindi po magkakapareho yan sa allocation ng CO.. ung Visa subclass 189 is 8 weeks ung allocation and ung 190 is 5 weeks. Ung visa 187 ( i dunno)

Hindi nyo po pde e pattern ung visa sublass 187 sa 189, thoung naiintindhan ko that 2 months na kaung nag aantay after lodging ung application.

Para mas maintindihan mo ng mabuti, mag basa basa kau sa DIBP website at alamin nyo ung visa subclass nyo and u can also check ung ibang nasa forum pero dapat kaparehas nyo ng Visa, Para atleast alam nyo na tama ung expectation nyo.

I hope naliwanagan kau..

Thanks po and All the best satin lahat..

Chill lang at darating din yan..

rachelle_gan2 · October 2013

Check mo kay @jaded11 & @ nfronda , Kaparehas mo sila ng visa.. gawing mong reference ung timeline nila.

anneoz08 · October 2013

There are a lot of factors to consider:
1. Anong stream ng 187 inapply nyo. Direct entry ba or transition stream?
2. Sabay ba inapply yung nomination and visa application? Approve na ba yung nomination?
3. Yung application niyo ba ay DRC or non-drc?
4. Kasama ka ba sa application ng husband mo? If so, bakit hindi ka pa nagpa medical kasi lahat ng kasama sa application dapat magpa medical. (and since hindi ka pa pina medical, then I am assuming non-drc yung application niyo which will be longer waiting time.) Also sa online status ba kasama pangalan mo as applicant? meron din ba nakalagay sayo organize your health examination? kasi kung kasama ka at hindi ka pa nagpa medical then I think hindi talaga mag progress application niyo kasi mag hihintay ang immigration ng medicals mo as a dependent of your husband. Verify mo ito kung nasama ba talaga pangalan mo.
5. Nasa OZ ka ba kasama ng husband mo on a 457 dependent visa?
6. I think 2 months is too early to be concerned lalo na pag hindi pa approve yung nomination and kung non-drc yung application niyo.
7. As for the online status, minsan kasi hindi yan updated kagaya ng 457 dependent application ng anak ko. health examination outstanding palagi for a month then suddenly visa grant na, wala man lang medicals receive nakalagay.

hi! @apc thank u for taking time to reply

un nga pinagtataka ko di decision ready yung inapply smin ng agent ko e february 2013 p lang ngstart na kmi mg ayos ng papers nmin. wala kasi akong idea s drc before. complete n ung docs nya except nga s medical ko. nung naglodge kmi ngemail agent na "i'll ask immigration to give referral letter for ur wife to undergo medicals in the phils." so hnd pa ko ngpapamedical kasi inaantay ko ung advise ni agent. i think approved na ung nomination ni employer prior to our visa lodge.

yes secondary applicant ako ni hubby nkikita ko s eVisa ung name ko at may organize health....

my husband is in australia since 2011 holding visa 457 at that time di p kami married. since naka 2 years na sya, eligible na sya s pr. i'm here in the phils.

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..check my timeline below.. were on the same subclass of visa, rsms 857 ang name nyan before.. after 10 months ako ngka CO.. mbagal ang processing sa subclass natin, ung iba nga inaabot ng 15 months ang processing. So u can't blame ur agent kasi nkasalalay sa DIBP ang processing hindi sa agent nyo..

Yes, tama c @apc a lot of factor to consider..

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..kahit complete na ung document nyo on the time nung nag lodge kau ng visa, hindi tlaga yan ma coconsider at ma ededeclare ng agent as drc application kasi wla ka sa OZ as dependent..

anneoz08 · October 2013

@anneoz08..kahit complete na ung document nyo on the time nung nag lodge kau ng visa, hindi tlaga yan ma coconsider at ma ededeclare ng agent as drc application kasi wla ka sa OZ as dependent..

hi sis. ah ok so ang drc pala ay pag pareho kaung on shore.
baka naging cause ng delay sau is hinabol mo ung hubby mo as secondary applicant? priority 1 kasi tayo at 6mos. average processing time according sa DIAC website.

Can I undergo nba my medicals here sa Pinas. di pa kasi ng aadvise c agent, naisip ko rin baka tama c @apc ng aantayan kami ni CO na isubmit ko medical result ko bago sya kumilos:(

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..yes dat's right, pag gus2 mong e drc ang application mo dapt lahat ng applicants onshore on the time u lodge..

Na delayed lg ng 2 months sakin kasi umuwi ako at nagpkasal at inihabol c hubby sa application ko.. but nung umuwi aq 7 months na ung application ko and still no CO ako ng tym na un.. Merun nga akong mga ka batch na hanggang ngaun still on the process pa ung application and still no CO pa..

Yes, ok lg na mgpa medical kana at mgprocess ng mga NBI mo..mas mabuti Na ung completo na lahat ng documents nyo on the tym mgka co kayo..

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..kaya nga aq nagdecide mgpkasal kasi akala ko on the time of my wedding approve na ung visa ko kasi nga based on the website 5-7months lg ang processing.. but anyway, ok na naging gnyan kasi naisama pa c hubby.. but on ur case kasi kasal na kau, at included kna sa so cympre gusto mo matapos kaagad ang processing..

Just be patient.. thats the game within australian immigration, waiting game..:)

Kung may documents ka pa at medical pa ang kulang malamang dun ka pa lang mag start ng 6 month. pero dipende din sa CO. Yung kaibigan mo iba naman 457 visa yun. Mabuti na rin yun kasi ang 457 temporary visa puede kayo pauwiin anytime kung wala ng maipasahod ang employer sa husband mo. Lalo na ngayun marami walang trabaho dito panay cut off nagtatangalan. Kaya nanigurado lang ang husband mo. Permanent resident kaya ganun katagal ang bilis nga lang yun eh 6 to 7 month ang processing nun. yung 187 ay 857 dati, ako ang naglakad ng 857 visa ko noon. Ngayun di sya puede lumipat obligation nya within 2 years sa employer na nag sponsor sa kanya. kapag lumipat sya breach of contract yun. Tyaga tyaga lang sa pagantay staka mabuti yun nakapag lodge kayo kasi baka magiba na naman ang rules sa pag apply ng visa. follow mo lang lagi ang agent mo at kailangan kumpleto ka ng documents. tanung mo agad kung puede kana mag pa medical. cheers

tsk tsk .. listen to your agent ...

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..ung mga na eprocess ng 3 months lg mga drc yan.. ngkaroon ksi ng malaking backlog ang immigration nung july 2012 dahil sa skillselect.. ang nangyari sobrang dami ng nagsubmit before july 1, 2012 pra d maabutan ng new rules..kaya hanggang ngaun madami pang applicants na nung 2012 pa nagsubmit hnggang ngaun on the process pa rin..

dapt sana before ng apply ng PR visa c hubby mo ay pinapunta ka muna nya sa OZ thru his 457 visa.. kasi pag ganun magiging madali na lg sa inyo ang lahat. Kahit maghintay pa kayo ng ilang months bago ma approve PR nyo ok lg kasi mgkasama namn kau.. den ung 457 dependent visa ay almost 1 month lg ang processing lalo na pag wla pa kayong anak.

JCsantos · October 2013

O I forgot .... Changing of Government and Holiday seasons are not STUPID reasons, because people here take a long leave during holidays .... depends on how long the employee on the company is, they can ask for a day to 4 weeks ( some can do 6 weeks ) of leave no questions ask .. and Changing of government affects workloads of public service

anneoz08 · October 2013

@TotoyOZresident hi, ung friend ni hubby pareho lang sila ng visa from 457 to 187. 3 mos. lang silang ngwait granted na agad kasi decision ready sila. ung wife nya OZ na rin before sila mglodge ng visa. thank u for ur info.

nfronda · October 2013

No worries. Hanapin mo rin sa pomsinoz may mga 457 visa hindi natuloy mag apply ng permanent resident visa kasi natanggal sa work. Yung iba naman hindi naka tiis sa employer. yung iba naman nag back out ang employer o ayaw mag sponsor ang employer ng PR visa. Yung iba akala nila 457 visa is permanent visa at sigurado na sila sa PR visa. Pero ang 457 visa is a temporary visa kaya anytime puedeng paalisin ng employer ang employedo under 457 visa. Nakakalungkot yung ibang kwento sa pomsinoz gumastos na sila at kasama na ang pamilya nila then bigla babalik sila. Talagang naka salalay pa rin sa performance nila sa work at kung ang employer ay mabait at handa sila iinsponsor sa PR. Kaya pasalamat tayo dahil mabait ang employer ng asawa mo at he did his best sa work para ma-impress at matuwa ang employer.

Kaya tiis lang at basahin mo palagi ang details ng 187 visa baka may retriction. After 2 years pa puede ng mag apply ng Australian citizenship ang hubby mo. its a blessing kasi magaling ang hubby mo sa trabaho at matyaga. Staka mahirap makakuha ng employer na mag sponsor buti na tyempuhan ng hubby mo kasi sa dami ng nag apply at mas qualified yung hubby mo ang napili. Be humble and be supportive sa hubby mo this is a life style changing & challeging kapag nasa oz kana. Please be thankful to God. God bless. cheers

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..see?..yang forum na yan ang naging basehan ko nung on the process pa lg ang application ko..

nfronda · October 2013

@anneoz08..kahit kailan talaga hndi namn nasusunod ang 6 months ehh. Kasi sa dad ko 2011 sya nag apply at inabot ng 10 months ang processing.. mabuti nga sa hubby mo after 2 yrs nya sa 457 na isponsoran kaagad sya to PR.. ung iba sinasagad talaga ang 4 yrs ehh..

and kahit naman po diba nasunod yung timeline, still wala pa din naman 6 mos yun application being lodged ng August = 2 mos palang siya. Chill muna and avoid unnecessary stress such as panicking and blame game with the agent considering the timeline as per DIBP.
