  @danyan2001us thank you for the advice! add'l query lang po, how long will it take for the visa to be approved po? we'll have to change our status in all our papers (passports, nbi clearance, etc.) if we are to get married.. How about the bank statements for show money po? We still don't have our own savings yet, and yung parents ko lang sana magpoprovide ng show money as my sponsor..will it be valid still kung married na ako? thanks po ng marami!!

  @andy99 ....i can't give you definite answer as to how long will be the processing of your visa....at times thats a case to case basis.....just to give you a concrete example...yong visa namin narefuse June 16, 2010 then nag re submit kami by June 18, 2010 Fri ...dumating yong visa namin June 23, Friday rin...so after a month ng re submission namin lumabas yong visa namin....for your show money which will be taken care of by your parents....no problem yon kahit married ka na .....they would still qualify as you and your wife's sponsors....good luck....and pray hard..

  @Howard ...bro i'm not really familiar with the other insurance providers basta kami sicne we came here (July 2010) until now at kahit na maglodge na kami ng 485 graduate skilled visa by July, Medibank pa rin kami ...we are very much satisfied wit their service lalo na yong my wife gave birth to our son here in Melbourne, wala kaming binayaran sa Northern Hospital kahit a single cent...everything was covered by our insurance at kahit na mga check up namin ngayon free lahat.......

  @Howard how's your application going? Sa ETI ka di ba? I researched them and mukang maganda yung TAFE to university package nila. You're gonna ba qualified to SVP even though TAFE course muna kunin mo plus you're going straight to uni after studying 2 years with them.

  @danyan2001us pards maganda nga insurance mo sulit xa Allianze Global un ksama sa letter offer sken, pards to be honest naguguluhan ako sa bago consultant na naghahandle ng application namin kasi menention ko na SVP Package sa ETI to ECU un kukunin ko kaya nga nag change ako ng course tapos pagtawag ko sa ETI knina sbi d daw un under ng svp package un inapply ng IDP ei ang linaw linaw usapan namin nagbigay pa si wifey ng mga documents. Tap[os advise sken ng admission manager ng ETI na since meron na daw ako letter offer sa ECU d na daw pd na ipackage sa ECU un course ko its either daw na ituloy ko nlng un sa ECU kasi un ang inapply before ng IDP sken...
  
  Ano kaya maganda ko gawin mdjo naguguluhan ako ksi kaya nga gusto namin SVP para d na need and proof of Funds kaya gusto sana namin na un package ng ETI at least pathway to UNI at d na kelangan proof of unds at the same time d masyado mataas ang tuition fee habang nag iipon pa....
  
  Thank you & God Bless...

  @Howard nagaayos pa lang ako ng requirements pero kung matuloy I'm leaning towards ETI kasi mukang maganda yung package nila. May nahanap din ako na isa pa na gumagawa ng uni package. Sa sydney naman sila http://www.decinternational.nsw.edu.au/study/tafe/news-and-updates/streamlined-visa-processing
  
  ang problema lang mas malaki yung packaging fee na hinihingi nila 2.5k to 5k depende sa uni na gusto mo. sa ETI kasi 1k lang packaging fee.
