PR visa 176
23may2011 - lodged app online
29dec2011 - CO allocated; asked to provide add'l docs for work experience
so far, 110 points na ang 'met.' i only needed 100 points kasi sponsored ako, pandagdag 10 points lang yung work experience.
7mar2012 - asked to fulfill health and character requirements
19mar2012 - health req finalised (bothered lang ako dito sa red line below the word "finalised" - sa aussie english, tama naman ang spelling:))
03apr2012 - applied for NBI clearance, may hit dahil sa dating DOST scholar ako.
ok, so sa puntong ito, hindi ako mashadong worried kahit malapit na yung deadline 28-day timeframe ng immi to submit the req kasi importante may proof na inasikaso ko na sya. so ni-scan ko ang resibo ko at ni-post bilang attachment.
27apr2012 - wala pa ring NBI clearance sa aking mga kamay. Yung DOST clearance ko winala nung courier (mar30 pa daw pinadala ng contact ko sa DOST), so i requested for a new one nalang a few days ago. pina-pick up ko na sa kuya ko at pinapadala ko sa Air21 (andito ako sa Mindanao).
i have a strong feeling yun na lang NBI clearance ko ang kulang. nabasa ko kasi sa ilang mga tagarito na once mafinalise ang heath at character req, it takes less than a month for a visa to be granted.
nafu-frustrate lang ako at nasi-stress sa paghihintay. pero gusto ko talaga sana sa August pa lumipad. parang ayaw ko pang umalis ng Pilipinas.
haaay.
salamat and have a great day!

1. IELTS results
2. holder of US, UK or Canadian passports.
Nag claim ba kayo ng points para sa hubby mo? ksi kung di naman tama si JLEM certification lng pwede na. Mahal din kumuha ng IELTS at sayang din ang time.
waaahhh ang hirap humabol sa discussions. mukhang madami na ulet na-grant ng visa ah. Congrats sa inyo.
may tanong po ulet ako, ung health requirements ko and ng eldest ko FINALISE na. samantalang ung sa husband and youngest ko naka OUTSTANDING pa and MEDICALS REFERRED daw. Last April 20 ito na-update online. Sabi ng agent namin, most likely nasa ibang doctor daw ung medical results nung mga naka-outstanding, ganon ba un? just wanted to take some input sa mga naka-experience na. usually it takes how many weeks before sya ma-update to FINALISE? I'm worried kasi baka mamaya may findings sa medical nila. Sabi naman ng agent, if may findings sa medical sasabihin daw agad ng doctor yun and hihingan kami ng additional tests pa.
Lapit na din IELTS exam ng hubby ko sa May 12 na. Sana makakuha sya ng band score of 5 para hindi na kami magbayad ng AUD 4k. Sayang din kasi.
God bless us all.
