    Hello All,
    my lovely fiancee is Pinay and we submitted our PMV 300 7th Jan 2014 @ Via center Makati ( I am Aussie so hope its ok I joined here :) ) looking for sites for fiancee to read and learn and hopefully meet new friends here. Our case is Ms. M. Subagan. Unfortunately my tagalog is not the best but trying to learn more and more.

    @Marymar we are looking at this coming November for our wedding date, but as you said, it's really difficult finalizing plans without the visa. :( It's killing both of my fiance and I too! But my fiance spent the whole December till early January here in the Philippines so it kinda alleviated the lonliness of being apart :) I hope you get yours in the weeks to come. :)

    @Marymar How long have you two been together? I think the processing time still depends on how complicated one case may be. Not necessarily on the case officer :)

    @Marymar hello! I just gave you a thumbs up for that information! Thanks for sharing it with us here. Yeah, my case officer told me that they finalise the majority of visa applications in Manila, within 9 months on the day of lodgement. But my friend got his in just 5 months and 2 weeks. T.T

    I have been thinking to once the visa is approved then there is a lot more organizing to do, so its good to start making plans now so when visa is approved you both know what to do and and what is expected to make the move as easy as possible :), thinks like joint back accounts ( open within 6 weeks of arriving to Australia or more paper work required), pvt health insurance is on PMV (not covered by medicare - think Medibank this stage) mobile phone, then from Phils side to organise furnishing / house hold items to be transported to her parents - stream line what items to bring to Australia, wedding wedding and yeah wedding :)

    @Marymar I know aye!! Haha! My fiance listed them all down for me too! haha! but I think we should take one day at a time. I've been contacting wedding suppliers thru email and let my fiance discuss with them in person once we have decided to book them. Almost all the items in our wedding checklist will be purchased here, coz I think it's way cheaper here. Lol. I'm practical like that sorry. :D AAaaahhh I've been listing down things to bring with me too once my visa is approved..but yeah I think it's gonna be just clothes and books. :DD Where do you guys settle in OZ? @evea and are from Sydneeyyy! :3

    @hannahbugs well mine is around the 4 month mark also. We are within the visa approval time period so at least even if we wait up to 9 mo. We will still be there sometime this year so hopefully we'll be in aus soon. But to be honest I dont want to wait 9 mo. =( lol too impatient and excited.

    @Marymar @hannabugs actually ive been meaning to plan just been busy but yes I realize now im very behind. Hmm any ideas on what items to bring to aus and what to buy here . @hannabugs I think wedding items are much cheaper here so i also plan to buy here. Will you get our dress made here? And what wedding items will you get here?
