Hello po, need your advice, upon lodgment of visa. Need ko na po ba isama yung middle name?

PTE - NO MIDDLE NAME
EA ASSESSMENT LETTER -WITH MIDDLE NAME
EOI - NO MIDDLE NAME
VIC INVITATION - NO MIDDLE NAME
Bale yung EA ko lang ang may middlename. may magiging issue po ba? since hindi na sya paparehas sa eoi ko,
May nakausap na din ako, no bearing naman daw sa AU ang middle name at maraming no middle name na mga migrants, na nakapasok at nakalabas naman daw sa AU.
Thank you, Happy New Year!

We (as a couple) were granted visas without the Middle Name on the EOI and visa application initially. Our documents are as follow:

PTE - with middle name Skills Assessment - no middle name

Employment references, pay slips, tax documents, etc - inconsistent, may or may not have middle name Form 80 - added a format in the Given Name field

[First Name] Juan [Mother's Maiden Surname] Marasigan for me, then for wife [First Name] Juana [Maiden Surname] Santos

The result was in the end, our EOI and visa application were amended by DHA themselves and they added the middle name onto them. The grant letters included the middle name as well.

I think, matalino naman ang DHA pagdating sa ganyan. As long as all your documents are legitimate and consistent at bare minimum on first and last name, walang magiging problema sa application.

Now onshore, we chose to be more consistent after the grant with all our Australian documents always include the middle name when asked. Otherwise, we just provide first and last names. 🙂

Hello! Natanong na po siguro ito dati, pero naka received ako s56 requesting for income tax returns and payslips from previous employment, I requested na din sa HR, pero 10 years ago na since nag work ako doon (pero sana may ma produce pa) 😃 pero just in case, ano pa ang pwedeng ibigay kung wala na din ako copies ng payslips? 😐

Sa pinas na work po ba yan or sa SG? if sa SG baka mahalungkat mo pa yung IRAS mo kasi wala naman copy yung HR nun. Worst case, try mo if makakapag-bigay yung bank mo ng history ng transactions mo showing yung credit ng income mo.

Sa Pinas po na work ito, na contact ko yung HR, di complete yung mabibigay niya sa akin na 2316, 3yrs out of 5yrs na lang na retrieved. Yung payslips naman, hindi na din talaga ma retrieved. :/

Worst case, pa generate ka ng records mo ng SSS/Pag-Ibig/Philhealth/ITR sa mga pinagtrabahuhan mo sa Pinas. Yung SSS/Pag-Ibig/Philhealth pwede irequest sa kani kanilang office. Yung ITR punta ka sa BIR, makakatulong kung nasa iyo TIN mo.
agree ako dito,. Gawa ka din online account sa SSS and pag-ibig... Mascreenshot dun lahat hulog per month.. Nakainidcate din dun ung employer sa contributions

Thanks all! I mainly asked just to make sure I understood it correctly, kasi we never know how life pans out, even if citizenship (after 4 years) ang end goal. So nagbabaon lang ng kaalaman 🙂 Appreciate the responses!

Hi! Doing some research sa pag-manage ng PR status. I've read DHA's resources na about this, but seeking validation lang if tama pagkakaintindi ko: If Permanent Resident ka na sa Australia, your permanent residency does not expire naman, right? Either you proceed with citizenship so you can get an AU passport or you apply for RRVs to get in and out of the country.

But technically, the "permanent residency" part of the PR visa stays in place indefinitely, yung travel component lang ang nage-expire 5 years after grant, tama ba?

The visa has 5 years validity, so it expires….hence the reason why you need to apply for RRV if you want to stay further as PR. Note that not all will be eligible for RRV, depends on how long you’ve stayed there as PR. If you’re not eligible for RRV than you can’t be PR anymore.

Sorry, I honestly believe na you know more than I do. Pero can we clarify this "hence the reason why you need to apply for RRV if you want to stay further as PR.", medyo confusing eh. Does this mean na if after 5yrs na yung PR visa, you cannot stay as a PR na in AU? Is that what you meant, I don't think that is accurate. Apologies if I misunderstood what this meant.

This was also why I asked. I wanted to make sure na yung 5-year validity of the PR visa does not mean na after 5 years, your PR status goes null and you'd have to renew your PR status in Australia through an RRV. Ito ay assuming na you have stayed in Australia naman for a while. So, an RRV comes into the picture if gusto mo mag-travel abroad. It's more of a way to hold that PR status while you travel in and out, since wala ka pang Aus passport.

What I'm getting from the answers is that you don't need to "renew" the PR status but if you want to retain it while overseas, you need an RRV. Sorry, semantics level na 'to, hope I didn't confuse anyone.

"If you are already in Australia as a permanent resident, you do not need to apply for this visa if you do not wish to travel." - https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/resident-return-visa-155-157#About

Hehe, kailangan may definition of terms ng "expired". Hopefully someone na may RRV mag reply dito. I can tell you based on my experience only. I understand, na sa 5yrs ng pr visa, I think 4yrs ka nandito or nakatira dito sa au before you can apply for a citizenship. That is not applicable for everyone naman. Like ako, I think beyond 5yrs na PR visa ko before ako naging eligible to apply for citizenship. So sa mga nag RRV, simple question is this. When you applied for a job, wala naman option sa status na RRV. Either citizen, pr or work visa. Basically chose PR, what proof did you send to show na PR kayo? Yung RRV ba or yung PR visa na beyond 5yrs. Ako kasi, I don't think the RRV actually replaces your PR visa na beyond 5yrs. I think yung RRV is only para you can enter AU. That's it. Like I mentioned, beyond 5yrs na PR visa ko when I applied for a citizenship. Before I applied for a citizenship, wala naman nawala sa akin. Medicare ko takbo. Centrelink ko still gives me subsidy for my child's day care. Nag apply ako and got approved ng mortgage submitting that PR visa that was beyond 5yrs. I bought my house again submitting that PR visa beyond 5yrs. Got job offers with that beyond 5yrs visa. Not to sure na tama memory ko ha, pero I think yun din sinubmit ko to get a licence and to prove na PR ako para maging citizen anak ko when he was born here. Based on my experience, again my experience alone ha. I didn't leave australia after nag 5yrs na PR ko. I did not feel that it expired. I do not think it expires and entry visa lang siya. If hindi ka naman lalabas ng AU, i don't see the point why you need to spend so much for a RRV. Mahal din yan ha
As a migration agent, it’s advisable to renew your PR in case you need to urgently leave the country, you save yourself the hassle of having to apply RRV in a rush. Worse, it’s possible you would have forgotten that your visa has expired and left without a valid visa to enter Australia. Such mistakes happen so easily…I’ve seen it happen to a few.

Visa SC 190 holders po kami na granted last year. we're planning to be back and stay in our residence country until 2025 after our initial entry last year. Kapag nag-apply po kami ng citizenship, bale magstart pa lang magcount yung residence namin sa 2025, right? Also, since 2028 expiry ng travel facility namin, and if we intend to travel somewhere after Jan 2028, we need to apply for RRV? Sa citizenship po ba, nakaka-affect na may makita silang RRV application bago nila grant?

Btw, this is the timeline we are looking at:

Jan 2023 - Visa Grant

Mar 2023 - Initial Entry to AU (stayed until July 2023)

Jul 2023 - Jun 2024 - Reside outside AU

Jul 2024 - Vacation in AU

Jul 2024 - Mar 2025 - Reside outside AU (Trying to maintain 9 months outside AU so Jul 2024 magstart yung count ng residence namin)

Apr 2025 - Big Move (planning to reside continuously until Apr 2028)

Apr 2028 - Apply citizenship (no RRV since no plan to travel especially after Jan 2028 PR travel facility validity)

Maraming salamat po sa sasagot 🙂

Why don't you just ask a COE from your previous employer?

Is this for visa lodging ba? Actually most of the time, yung mga CO will look for payslips from a company that you are currently employed. Usually yung sa previous employer and hinahanap nila is yung COE lang. But I've seen 1 case here na hinahanapan din sya ng payslips from a previous employer.

In my case, ang isinama ko lang sa documents na in-upload ko for proof of employment sa visa lodging are COE from my current company and 3 months of payslips. If hanapan ka ng other proofs from your previous employer, pwede mo naman i-screenshot then attach a letter explaining why you couldn't provide the other documents that they are looking for. I did this during my pre-invite. Di ako maka-provide ng bank statements dahil di aabot within 14 days so I just did a screenshot of my online bank account with a letter explaining why I did that. Tinaggap naman nila.

Hi all,

Anyone here naka-experience na nag change job while waiting for visa grant??

Did you submit Form 1022 Notification of changes in circumstances and what other documents did you provide? Hindi ko pa kasi sinasabi sa agent na may bago na akong work because I am still waiting for my new gov't id (OFW here) to be issued. Just need to know what docs to prepare.
