@nfronda thanks you so much and for the information.. at least, I'm all good now with the requirements before going.. I think we don't have the magic sarap brand in our Filipino store here in Darwin. They have a different brand, which I don't like. Forgot what's the name. As I'm very much familiar with Magic Sarap only.. hehehehe Do we need the SSS, Pag-ibig filings with POEA by the way?

Well done. Looking at the dates it appears immigration let the application wait 6 months before blowing off the dust and rubber stamping it. With luck in 3 more weeks our turn will come, very tight timing with xmas close and a high airfare January following.
7th June 2013 subclass 309 application lodged.
A few months later CO appointed, medical done and extra documents tendered.
Waiting.....waiting.
@jayralvarez oo waiting din ako, I lodged mine in June. Hopefully it'll come and on its way. Jim hodge is right, the airline tickets are very expensive in December and january
