    So my hubby submitted his documents in VIA-Makati last Monday (19 May) at around 9AM. The lady who assisted him checked everything to make sure he has everything in the checklist plus all the other evidence and documents. After around 30 minutes, he is done.

    Today, (23 May) we received 2 emails from the immigration:
    1) IMMI Acknowledgement of Application Received, which contains just a simple letter of acknowledgment of received application
    2) IMMI Acknowledgement of Valid Application Received, which contains:
    - More detailed letter of acknowledgement of received application which says application date is 21 MAY
    - Health Check Request
    - How to Request for NSO Documents

    However, there is a mistake with the address indicated on the letter of acknowledgement so we'd need to let them know of this.

    Guys kelangan ba talagang isend sa Makati Aus Embassy yung pag apply ng application? Hindi ba siya ginagawa online? Chinek ko kasi sa website nila nakalagay .
    .Effective Monday 16 June 2014 Visa applications, except for Refugee and Humanitarian Entry, should be lodged at the nearest Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) in the Philippines, operated by VFS Global. A fee will be charged for this service in addition to the scheduled fee charged by the Australian Government for all visa applications.
    e parang ayoko kasi mas magastos huhuthutan ka pa ng pera e kung online attach ka lang ng attach ng docs then bayad ng application fee. Sino dito online applicants sa Pinas?

    My hubby and I have been attending Hillsong Church Melbourne city campus since Feb 2014 and I am loving it! If you’re new here in Mebourne or you have been here for a long time but you haven’t yet found a church where you feel a sense of belongingness, we can go to church together! ^_^ Let us know!

    @lulu1118 @poinsettia9 Application online is done through IMMIACCOUNT. Pwede mo i upload lahat ng mga documents doon. Just upload your documents and if kailangan nila yung Original ng documents they will request so. Most likely they will not request original as long as the documents are certified copy. NSO documents such as birth certificate and cenomar should be requested sa NSO office to be directly sent sa Immigration manila. This way the immigration are confident enough na hindi fake or edited yung mga documents.

    thanks arsky... kung sakaling married na status namin sa NSO. Pwede na bang mag request agad na ipadala yun sa immigration kahit ala pang signal ng CO? Kasi ala pa din si hubby CO hanggang ngayon. Saka nagpadala ka din ba ng form 80? Yung iba kasi hinihingan daw e.

    @poinsettia9

    Hi poinsttiia9,

    Ang sabi doon sa website ng australian immigration sa manila is

    Clients should only apply for a National Statistic Office (NSO) document, once a visa application has been submitted at the Manila Visa Office, and at the request of a visa processing officer.

    This is the same for form 80 ( as per request of the case officer)

    This document once a CO is assigned will be requested and kung ano pa kulang sa mga documents that you submitted. Hindi naman matagal mag request ng NSO documents through e-census and it will be delivered sa Australian Immigration Manila in weeks time.

    I think they are doing this as standard para easy for them to track the NSO documents coming in their office. This is use also as the first point of contact between the applicant and the Case Officer.

    As of August 29 immigration is saying that they are processing documents lodge within July 1st . So kung nag lodge ka ng before July 1st you should have a case officer assigned by now. that is updated once a a month expecting this early October to be updated again and they will say processing up to August 1

    kailan ka ba nag lodge online ?

    On my case wala naman hinihinge sa akin na form 80.

    Stay in touch and keep updating para meron reference or at least an indicator on how our application is progressing.

    Kind Regards

    @poinsettia9 that was not bad at all. A good sign that your CO is very quick and very efficient. Nauna pa sya sa visa processing yime update nila. Hopefully eh maging mabilis na processing nila ng mga papers.

    @Johann329

    Hi Johann329 definetely you can do apply first and once you got a stable job and a roof (just rented dwelling is ok) for your family you can apply for a spouse visa.

    There are several factors that you need to consider on choosing to include or not to include your family in lodging a visa they have advantages and disadvantages. It can depend on what visa are you applying? You have to consider the cost, time , and if your applying for skilled visa sometimes it is helpfull if you lodge it with your partner included already as his/her qualification can have more points.

    regards,

    Hi,

    I got confused with this one as well as the Application has 4 different number

    - Application ID
    - Client ID
    - Transaction Reference Number
    - File Number

    I use File Number just because of the word (file) ... Mine got delivered and received with no problem

    Best Regards.

    @arsky Actually yung file number din una kong naisip e. Kaso yung nagre request kami online masyadong mahaba yung number hindi na kumasya so I just used the TRN. Inisip ko na lang magi gets pa din naman nila yun.
