Given what you said, I'm extremely lucky that my domestic helper from the Philippines didn't get her visa knocked back & in fact, got it approved within days of my application.

I wrote that wife and I are PRs, and we wanted her to come with us to see our home in Australia & to give her a good holiday!

Having said that, I did attach documentation to show that she has a valid employment contract with us in Singapore, and we definitely have enough funds to fund her stay with us in Australia.

So, I dunno... maybe people from the Philippines aren't as prone to jumping planes as Malaysians, so they are granted a visa with greater ease?

Update 1: my brother (Oz PR)  bought a house in Melbourne and wants us to come soon for house warming. He is also having engagement party with fiancé (Oz Citizen)

I applied for my parents and myself, they both instant approved and I need to give supporting documents 💀💀

Going to be hard to prove I have enough money, as I am a fresh graduate and finished most of my own money in the uk lmao

Wondering if can use parents bank income with letter that they agree to sponsor bla bla. I do have property in Cyberjaya but it isn’t even completed yet 💀💀

If I can get my job application through by next week will use that too!

Does anyone know if there is a timeframe to give them all of this information before automatically rejects itself?

I am not sure when my new job will be giving the employment contract 💀

Honestly don’t care if I can cancel the visa, just don’t want it to be rejected as it’ll f with visiting other countries

Having UK brp and 10 year American visa did not help me so beware others too

The Philippines are not eligible for 601, so by applying for the 600, due diligence has been done.

Those who are requested to submit documents, don't assume you will be rejected. Be honest and open about your reasons, and they will assess case by case.

@Sadly, submit all your documents, including an invite (or cover letter) by your brother. They are not unreasonable. Despite 3/4 being called for further documents, the majority will get the visa, I think the reject rate is less than 5% of all applications.

Should I re-apply ETA or appeal the current application and submit my mortgage loan document?

I completely forgot about the visa situation when I booked my flight for sept this year. I believe based on my situation, I have a low chance of approval because I'm now driving grab as my part time income while I am also part time studying. Clearly my grab income is not stable and it's relatively low considering that I'm only doing it part time. Any tips to get my ETA approved based on your experiences?

Assets wise pretty ok, but income wise severely lacking. Maybe I should quickly get employed within the next 2 months then reapply after that 😅

Just hoping and praying that I won't have to burn my tickets, really stupid mistake to make, but what to do.

Ah, OK. That one I know... my most disliked number amongst all the numbers attached to me in Australia... haha

Haha do you remember your 9 digits by heart?

No… I did when I was a student, but now I have too many numbers to try to keep up. Haha

Okok. Am sure you know that your weighted tfn is a product of 11

No luck to hit the 25% chance and experience instant approval second time applying for 601 and both times also were also requested to submit documents. Maybe because I have an ongoing/pending subclass 190 hence cannot instant-approve 

The previous 601 expired dy after having fund times there so planning to do another trip end of the year

Just to update, got my 601 approved today after 11 days (or  8 working days). Now just need good flight / hotel deals

Visa about to expire next month. Any possibility to renew without doing from scratch again?

I know last year I submitted all sort of docs.

If you don't mind a slight detour to Hong Kong Cathay Pacific is offering good deals to try and rebuild market share post-pandemic

Congratulations!! What kind of flights and hotels are you looking for? I could give you some suggestions seeing how I’m a frequent flyer to Sydney haha
