  @mhej congrats to you and to your partner!! san and when ang IED nyo?
  dami na talagang grantees..araw araw meron...

  Hi staycool! thanks for the well wishes. Actually, medyo taranta ang aming IED. May 11 2014 na!! e normally 1 year diba? pero, I guess dahil hindi kami masyado na challenge sa application (literally smooth sailing lahat, no glitches), eto ngayon ang unang hurdle. apurahin ang pagpunta ng AUS bago ma paso ang grant.

  Hi everyone! Share ko lang yung realization namin ng partner ko kung bakit napaka aga ng IED namin (May 2014).
  
  With the help of my Migration Agent, tinulungan niya kami na ma realize na kaya siguro masyadong maaga (6 months) ang IED namin is because by Jan. 2014, expired na ang passport ni partner ko. E diba, 6 months prior to passport expiration, hindi ka na pwede mag travel?
  
  So baka kaya ganon ka aga ang IED namin. In fairness kay CO, naging considerate siya.
  
  So maybe tip na rin sa mga future applicants to make sure na there is ample time between you visa grant (or even the processing time) and the expiration date of your Philippine passports.

  hi @mhej, ang expiry ng passport will be on Nov 2014, pero ang IED namin is Oct 2014 naman.

  hmm.better get that checked. Kasi sa pagkakaalam ko, minsan hindi pinapaalis ng Pilipinas if less than 6 months into expiration date. Marami na akong kakilalang luhaang bumalik sa mga bahay nila dahil hindi sila pinalusot ng immigration kahit may 6 months pa ang passports nila.
  
  Doesn't make sense if you ask me. Ano pang silbi ng expiration date kung 6 months before that hindi ka na makaalis. =/

  @mhej Im actually renewing my passport now. since oct pa naman ang IED namin and processing of passport here in sg will only take 8 working weeks, so ok pa. Another thing, atleast 6 months from expiration of passport ang hindi allowed mag travel, May pa mag si-six months from expiry ang sa akin. besides, passport renewal is not an issue naman din, you just have to inform DIAC or your CO, may mga kakilala na ako wala naman naging problema ang pag update ng passport details. So, I can either go before May without renewing my passport or renew my passport first before going to AU.
