Australia Thread 7

[AussieMom]

Sis oreo and Sis jenny, my Mom rang VIA just now and she was advised that her application is still in process...grrr, ang sabi sa email finalised na at pinadala na. then sasabihin nila in process pa rin pala. ang gulo. Wala pa rin daw timeline kung kelan ang result, basta wait daw ang text message na pinadala na sa courier.  So kaya pala wala pang dumadating, kase wala naman talaga pero bakit naman sasabihin sa email na finalised na.

Sis jenny you can try to follow up. About Private Health Insurance, ang alam ko pag ni-require lang nila, pero better to ask them na rin para sure.  I didn't pay the insurance in full, monthly direct debit lang sa account ko, sabi naman sa Australian Unity wala naman daw problema ganun kase may mga clients din daw sila ganun ang gawa.

nakakainip na sobra.

Dati halos 2 weeks lang approved na yung 3 months tourist visa ng Mom ko, then when she applied for a 1 year tourist visa 1 week lang approved na, same with my in law 6 months tourist visa 1 week lang din.

hello po, tanong ko lang kung meron po dito nagtatry mag-apply as migrant to australia. alam ko nabago na ang processing ngyon, mas lalo po bang dumali mag-apply or mas lalong humirap? advise pls. thanks

[oreo08]

jenny_2284, baka mas ok na ifollow up mo na para masigurado mo rin kung kelangan ng insurance or what... include mo lang yun passport number ng mom mo saka dob... and of course, her name.

^^what? Ang gulo naman! Grabe... talagang magleave ako ng feedback about this whole thing pag nakuha na namin yun results ng visa application. I am not happy! Bakit nila pinaabot ng 8 weeks yung backlog? Maybe they should hire more competent people and hindi yung pa petiks petiks lang sa trabaho!

[eklea]

@ mga sis oreo08, aussiemom, jenny_2284 --  kinakabahan ako sa timeline at update niyo.  what more pa kaya yung akin.. dina ko magugulat may something chuchu din mangyayari sa processing ng visa type ko pero sana hindi naman OA na tumagal more than the expected processing time...

sana po maayos na yung inyo..ang gulo nga nila now, tama sabi nila... haaay...

[jenny_2284]

^AussieMom & oreo08, sino ba nagdedelay sa 8weeks backlog na yan? ang VIA ba? kala ko mismo dito sa Australia Medical Ofc nila. sorry mejo naguluhan din ako.

sobrang tagal na nga. ang hirap pa naman pag nanganak ako wala pa din mom ko dito eh via cs pa naman ako, to think me 2 kids pa ko who goes to school.

[oreo08]

^medical officer daw dito sa Australia yun nagrereview ng medical exam results... and sila yun may backlog, hindi yung VIA. Tinanong ko nga kung pwede bang kontakin yang medical officer na yan para iescalate yun application ng mum ko. Di pa nagrereply immigration and I doubt bibigay nila contact details.

Ay naku talaga. Nakakainis!

[jenny_2284]

^ i'll call my mom to get her reference no sa application nya so I could start to follow up na din. gawin ko after ng check up ko sa ob.

@sis AussieMom, update us pag dumating na courier mom mo ha.

Yung sa mom ko kasi hindi pinacourier eh, pick up sa kanya, so hopefully sana mabilis din.

Let's continue to pray and hope na marelease appproval visa ng moms natin.

[AussieMom]

I sent them another email to confirm what's really the status and told them that my Mom rang the VIA but was advised that her application is still in process.  I hope I can get a real confirmation this time.

[oreo08]

Nagreply sakin immigration

Thank you for your email. We are currently waiting for feedback from Global
Health, but your concern will be brought to the attention of your case
officer.

[AussieMom]

^wala pa rin progress Sis based on their email. Grabe anong timeline kaya target nila to finish all the pending applications.  I haven't heard anything yet. 

[jenny_2284]

Sabi ni hubby mag follow up email daw ako next week na lang since 1 month pa lang daw. Pero I called VIA sa pinas to ask the status of application ng Mum ko and was told that as per their last record eh yun yung nagpick up ko ng letter from them sa request ng Medical & nung submission nia ng Medical exam nia.

Binigay sa kin immi address (like yng email binigay nio) and follow up ko daw dun.

Minsan naiisip ko kung tama ba na direct application pinagawa ko sa Mum ko or agency na lang dapat. Pero if ganito case, malamang pareho lang lalabas.

Tiis tiis pa tayo. Sana umabot sa timeline natin release approval ng visa nila.

[AussieMom]

^Sis jenny anong number tinawagan mo? Kase yung customer service nila within pinas lang valid yung number. I wanted to call them sana. Thanks

[jenny_2284]

^ Sis AussieMom, +63 2 845 9211

[Goldy]

Hi mga Sis! I just want to ask if saan kayo ng file ng visa ng mom nyo? meron bang ng file ng visa dito mismo sa au? pasensya na hindi ako makapag back read busy kasi ako, hindi ako madalas makapag online. And how much yung expense? Gusto sana namin papuntahin mom ko dito as tourist. Tnx mga Sis!

[oreo08]

^Goldy, basa basa lang ng konti https://www.immi.gov.au/visas/visitor/600/ http://www.immi.gov.au/fees-charges/visa-pricing-table.htm

[AussieMom]

Sisses, got an email from immi today with the attached touirst visa approval for my Mom, multiple 3 years.  Sulit ang pag iintay.  As per the letter, the visa was granted 09 July, nakakapag taka lang bakit ngayon lang inform. Anyway happy at may visa na. Sana dumating na rin approval sa inyo.

[freeswan]

the 8 weeks backlog is for all applicants outside australia. our housemates here that are indonesian was also
advised of the 8 weeks backlog of the embassy or immigration.

[jenny_2284]

^^ wow sis AussieMom, that's a very good news. book na agad ng ticket. :-) are you giving birth din ba like sa case namin ni Sis Oreo08?

Oo nga, sana lumabas na din result ng sa min.

^ sis Oreo08, diba halos sabay nag apply mom mo at mom ni AussieMom? feeling ko kasunod na din sayo. :-)

[oreo08]

good news yan AussieMom!

^yes, few days later lang pagitan. Nainis na kuya ko (akala nya kasi manganganak na ako next week) so nagemail na sya sa MP nila and yun MP nagemail na sa immigration to escalate it. In the first place, walang indication sa website na meron silang 8 weeks backlog. Bakit hindi nila ilagay yun para yun mga applicants, maadjust yun timeline nila. Kung kelangan ba nila magapply ng 2-3 months earlier or what. Kasi diba nakalagay lang dun 4 weeks! Edi yun sinundan natin! Nagemail na naman immigration sa MP nila and sinabi nga na nareceive medical exam ng mum ko on june blah blah and ipprioritize na daw nila. Ewan ko lang ha. Puro sila ganyan.

Sana either iupdate nila yun website nila or sabihan agad mga applicants na may ganyang backlog... hindi yun kelangan magemail pa tayo for an update bago nila sabihin na may backlog nakakainis sila!!!

[jenny_2284]
