I can't believe it - after eight months and one week, my VISA HAS BEEN GRANTED! I had notified RM when I got my ETA several weeks ago that I'd be heading to Australia January 6. She didn't respond at the time. So on January 1 I e-mailed her a polite reminder that I'd be leaving for Australia the following week. Two days later.. BAM. VISA GRANTED. I can't tell you guys what a relief this is. My fiance and his parents and I were all together when I received it - it's been a giant hug/cryfest. I was so worried I wouldn't be approved with all the medical stuff I have - sailed right through. I provided letters from specialists, and DIBP didn't ask for anything further.
Just so you know, you can take a little time to upload all your documents, you don't have to do them all at once
We applied 1.5 weeks ago and I'm still uploading a little each day. Still waiting on some form 888s too. The man at immigration told me there is no time limit, but just get it done in a few weeks as a guide
They acknowledged to have received my request for TFN and provided me with the reference number to follow up when after 28 days I don't receive yet. I copied it for my reference.
Hi, I am new here and I know how you have been an inspiration to many by your knowledge and advices. I am a Filipina and wanting to apply for PMV. My question is, where will I have to lodge my application? Is it here in the Philippines? Congrats to you and I know you deserve your PMV.
Hi MissPhilippines. This is the process we followed.
We lodged by courier directly the VIA Centre in Makati City, and extra documents were lodged in Person in Makati.

Congratulations to you... I will be lodging my PMV by April (hopefully) I am still very much in doubt on the steps to do it. I am just praying I will be able to accomplish all requirements. Good Luck to your new life.
That's wonderful news! Congratulations. So much weight must be lifted off your shoulders!
