    @rayortinez what do u mean po by sarilinan. If tama po pagkakaintindi ko 489 visa relative sponsor kapag nakareceive ka ng ITA need mo magprovide ng evidence na relative kau may mga documents na kelangan iprovide ni relative sponsor such sa Birth Cert., PR or citizenship paper kung san siya nakatira, work nya etc etc.

    BTW yan ung sa case ko po jist receive my ITA last Oct 4 for 489(RS) pero ndi pa ako naglolodge mg application patapusin ko lang ung buwan na ito den decide ka ako if ilodge ko na. May 190 rin kasi ako inaantay

    @rayortinez hi, depende kc kung anu ung time frame na ibig sabihin mo ng matagal? may mga occupation kc na naka-cap like accountants, IT and some engineering professions so kung ung nominated occupation ay isa sa mga yun mejo matagal kc depende sa points etc.

    in your brother's case, since ung 489 nya is relative sponsor at sa pagkaka-alam ko hindi kasama sa capped occupation ang civil engineer then he may get invited agad once na magsubmit kau ng EOI. ilang points ung brother mo with your sponsorship?

    si @jomar011888 na-invite recently lang and alam ko parang engineering ung occupation nya not sure which one. Ganu katagal bago ka na-invite @jomar011888 after mo magsubmit ng EOI for relative sponsor?

    @rayortinez below is the link nung most recent EOI invitation ng immigration including ung list ng occupations na naka-cap

    @cacophony tama si @Hunter_08 . you can as as long as your occupation is the included in the occupation list ng state na yun at na-meet mo yung requirements then you can apply.

    two streams kc ang 489 visa, ung relative sponsor at state sponsor.

    anung occupation mo? I looked at your timeline mejo ilang months ka na din nagaantay ng ITA.

    @jomar011888 so isa ka dun sa 52 na nka-receive ng ITA for 489 RS last 3-October. hindi kc kasama ung electrical engineer sa naka-cap na occupation. Electronics engineer ung kasama.

    Are you still thinking if you will go with 489? lodge mo yan para tumatakbo na ang time at ng makapag move ka na dito sa Melbourne soon.

    we've had crazy weather here, been warm the past few days and I reckon it will be cold again in the coming days but Melbourne is melbourne four seasons in a day..lol

    @malt I think it will be the same lang naman maski 189/190 visa kasi sa ngayon hindi na ganun kadali makahanap ng work dahil sa sobrang daming applicant lalo na sa mga major states like NSW at VIC madaming competition. ang pinagkaiba lang naman ng 489 visa is hindi sya permanent visa agad unlike 189/190. you need at least 2 years to stay on a specific state and render 1year of full-time work or part-time(equivalent hours to full-time).

    @malt to answer yung 1st question mo, there is no medicare and centrelink benefits for 489 visa holders

    Mahirap in what sense? As long as you have a job and you will live a lifestyle that you can afford then I think walang issue pero kapag wala kang work kahit anung visa type mo or even kaming locals e mahihirapan ka talaga.

    In my own opinion di hamak na mas mahirap ang buhay ng mga nka student visa dito dahil sa limited working hours kaya mahirap for them na humanap ng work unlike with 489, you can work full time and no restriction sa hours.

    Yung medicare and centrelink benefits lang nmn kc ung di maaavail ng 489 pero in my case, I am a local and been living in australia for ages pero never pa ako nag-claim ng centrelink benefit. Medicare, yes nagaavail ako pero ilang beses ka ba sa isang taon magkasakit? believe me, karamihan ng locals dito very rare gamitin ang medicare unless may sakit ka or cguro kung may kids ka na sakitin plus most of us here have private health insurance for tax purposes.

    This is the key, if you and/or your partner has a job you will be able to survive, live a very decent life compared sa life sa pinas.

    Maybe I need to create a separate thread sa forum explaining about 489 kasi marami ng nagtanong before about sa 489 like mahirap ba makahanp ng work, limited ba ung hours, etc. para maliwanagan ung ibang kababayan natin.

    I hope I have given you some ideas sa sagot ko.

    I'm Australian in paper but pinoy in form....Living in the most liveable city in the world...Melbourne! Oi, oi, oi!!!

    hi @Au_Vic and @AIR.. Salamat sa pag-check ng occupation ko sa SA SS. and for pushing all us to try 489. Hindi ko talaga pinalampas ung opportunity na maka-apply agand. Sobrang unexpected ko talaga ung DG right after a month ng visa lodged (1 thought mga 5-mos pa ako maapprove) and to @Hunter_08 sa walang sawang pagsagot sa mga query ko sa PM.
    salamat ng marami.

    Guys, may issue po ba yung pabagu-bago ng EOI? Well di naman po talaga changes, more of addition lang. I lodged my 189 kasi nung Sept 27th, 190 nung Oct 5th and now I want to add 489 kaso nag-aalangan ako baka isipin ng DIBP agent pabagu-bago isip ko :S

    @Hunter_08 mejo mahirap i-explain yung buong details baka kc ma-confuse ka pero high-level, technically, medicare is not free coz we pay a medicare levy during tax lodgement, there is another component that is called medicare levy surcharge that is on top of the medicare levy which we need to pay to the govt so govt suggests that people should get private health insurance to get more health benefits and get exemption on the surcharge.

    I think medicare levy and medicare levy surcharge may mga conditions yan like annual income, age, etc. so not sure kung yung mga low income earners or retirees ay required to pay.

    I'm Australian in paper but pinoy in form....Living in the most liveable city in the world...Melbourne! Oi, oi, oi!!!
