yes my first visa was approved as single entry only with 8503. first application i inidicated as visiting friend and touring au whihc is true bec it is my travel to australia for holidays and to see my boyfriend and some friends in au.
yesterday i applied for second visa and i indicated that i want to visit my boyfriend for his birthday and to travel together in au again for my holidays. i am little paranoid but i think if you are honest to declare then they shuld understand, just show your purpose is really for holidays and tour and visiting boyfriend. i cross my finger that I can be approve as mutiple entry bec it is hassle and expensive to keep applying tourist visa. i guess doesnt matter next year as we are planning to apply subclass 300.
so make ur 2nd application simple and straightforward as purpose of holidays and tourism. but again no one can guarantee what they can approve to us.
Oh goodluck! Yes. Just submit all the documents that you think might help to get your visa approved. This is actually not my second Visa application, its my 7th including my visa extensions. I had been travelling to australia since 2011 and it was sponsored by a family. This time I'm bit hesitant since its a different situation.
Its not just expensive, all the emotions and the feeling of being parted away makes its more difficult. Plus facing the Ph immigration than reading a visa grant notice is more nerve wracking sometimes. I havent experienced it yet but reading some people's experinced makes you also worry too.
Hope you get a positive result in a few days or a week. Keep me posted.
