Hi, after you get invited, you have 60 days to lodge. After mo maka lodge, you have another 60 days before maka Case Officer. Pag nagsabi ang CO mo na you need medical, you have 28 days to send proof na nagpa medical ka na...
So sa total, you will have a maximum of 148 days to finish your medical after you get invited assuming sasagarin mo yung 60 days between getting invited and your lodgement. But if you start counting after lodgement, you will have 60 days before getting a CO and 28 days after getting a CO.
BTW, these number are for VISA 189. For 190 or others, shorter ang time before sila maka-CO. This also will apply to your dependents.

Puwede kayang i-omit ko na lang yun pagdating sa Visa Application na? kahit yung latest job ko lang dito sa SG. sobra sobra na sa 5 years. yun 5 years lang balak kong lang i-claim. di talaga makaka-apekto sa points ko. Di kaya magkaproblema ako sa CO?
Salamat po sa mga sasagot at may suggestions.

@engr_boy
if ako ang nasa lugar mo, i would still claim it sa visa application para consistent sa assessment mo. In case magtanong ang CO ng proof of income,sabhin mo yung situation. Worst case, ipa exclude mo nlng yun sa kanya, afterall you will still be eligible without it.
Just my two cents
