@chiffonscarf, 40k AUD po. given na dalawa dependents ko (wife & kid). Depende po kasi yung amt sa # of pax for migration. Not sure if ok to declare lesser amt than what is recommended, parang assurance kasi ng Oz govt na self-sustaining yung new migrants pagdating dun. Cheers!

Correct nga kayo. Finorward na nung agent namin yung letter from our CO. Medical/PCCs and Husband's IELTS exam requests. Sabi ng agent required lang daw si hubby na mag-overall band score na 5.
I am super duper happy. Ito na yung inaantay ko. Yung ma-allocate sa CO. More prayers pa para maging smooth ang medical and all other requirements.
God is really good.
