Mga sis.sa tingin nyo ba ok na medical ng mother ko at wala na need na follow up ?
Mag one month na sa 21 application ni mother pero wala pa akong balita.lodged ot online.
Eto nakasulat sa immi account:

Health requirement – health clearance provided – no action required

All health examinations required for the specified visa subclass have been finalised. Processing of this person's visa application can now continue. This will not occur until a case officer investigates the case in line with published processing times for the visa that has been applied for. Do not contact the department about health examinations in the meantime.

[mama squeak!]

^as what was stated in the remarks: No action required. So all you have to do is wait for the visa na lang.

[pinklilac]

Salamat sis mama squeak.
Gusto ko  lang ipanatag loob ko na tama pagkaka intindi ko hihi.
Salamat sa Diyos at bawas na ang alalahanin ko at wala akong ibang pedeng gawin kundi mag antay na lang.
Super excited na ako makita uli nanay ko..

[rocky]

^bakit need ng medical? 1 year stay ba in-apply mo sa nanay mo sis?

[pinklilac]

^hi sis Rocky. 3 mos lang ni apply para sa nanay ko pero ni declare kase na may hypertension siya at history ng tb kaya hindi lang xray ginawa sa kanya..

[rocky]

^i see, wait na lang sis medyo matagal talaga processing nila. yong friend ko 1.5 month bago nya nareceived yong visa tapos yong mga kasama nya inabot ng 2 months. hehe! 3 days na lang before flight nila, buti umabot pa kasi sabi ko mag-apply talaga sila ng maaga

[pinklilac]

Sis rocky. Oo nga pansin ko matagal na.
Sa paper lodge kaya ganon na rin katagal?
Naisip ko kase sa online they give 28 days na ma attach mga docs.
So baka lang tinatapos nila 28 days bago nila tignan ang application para complete docs na at isang proseso na lang.
Samantalang sa paper lodge pag tv dapat complete docs agad.

Good thing that I received the visa ontime. My flight is on August 26.

I was able to book a one-way MNL-SYD flight for next year via Cebu Pacific! Paid 2,500 lang.  Kukuha  na sana ako ng baggage but I decided against it kasi hindi pa naman final 'yung plan. Pwede naman bumili ng add-on baggage until 4 hours before the flight! Mag-aabang na lang din ako ng another sale para makakuha ng flight pabalik. Hopefully mas mababa pa sa 2,500 ang makuha ko! 

Been to Australia 6 years ago pero 2 hours lang ako sa Sydney. Literal na nagbreakfast lang, met my family, then we flew na to Brisbane. Sa wakas, makakarating na rin ako sa Bondi Beach. Sana andun pa si Whippet!

Salamat ulit, Cebu Pacific! 2,500 for an 8-hour flight is a sweet deal! 

[vain_kixie]

Asa 3.2 ka lang yung sydney- mnl. That was the same fare that i was able to book last may. 14k rt for 2 adults plus 1 infant with seat (no luggage and food pa). Super tempted to book tapos we'll fly to New zealand narin since multiple entry naman visas namin. Gusto ko sana late summer or early fall para we dont need to layer up and maka pag travel light.

[rocky]

^^mas mahal yong pabalik sis kasi included na don travel tax & terminal fee. abang ka lang magkakaroon uli yan. ganon din lagi kong ginagawa, laging 1-way lang binobook ko

[fittotravel]

^Thanks, girls!  Basta hindi umabot ng 8k roundtrip, ok na 'yun sa akin. I will probably book my return flight next year na para mas may idea na ako sa schedule ko.

[belle_v2g]

Shucks sis ang mura naman ng promo ng cebu pac na yan!!! Kaso di naman pepwede sakin dahil victoria kami.
