Initial Entry Deadline

Yes, DIAC can always say that na sufficient ang time na binigay to prepare and I personally would not want to risk na mag laps ang IED but for those na kelangan sagarin ang IED or let's say nag laps na ang IED, wala ba silang consideration or something done para sa mga ganitong cases? Talaga bang void na yung VISA na pinaghirapan natin?

I will check on this further, curious lang ako on what DIAC stands on this cases.</blockquote>

You can ask your CO and let us know here... 🙂

<blockquote rel="TasBurrfoot"><blockquote rel="pmzinoz">puede siguro natin itanong sa DIAC yung case na may confirmed plane ticket ka na before ang IED and for some reason na delay ang flight or hindi ka nakasama sa flight...

1.) Hindi ba mapapaso ang IED kung may valid reason?

2.) Ano ang mga valid reason?

3.) If hindi valid ang reason, void ba ang VISA mo, wala bang parang penalty na lang or grace period etc...

If we have these informations, we can plan ahead with no worries at all.</blockquote>

I could be wrong but pwede naman sabihin ng DIAC that it is not their problem that your visa validity has lapsed... In the first place, may sufficient time naman binigay.</blockquote>

Oo nga naman, sobrang haba na nung almost 1 year or 6mos para sa mga may medical findings. Kasi puede nila sabihin, kung di ka pa pala prepared bakit nagpasa ka na agad ng application in the first place. Tsaka napakalaki at napakarami mo ng na-invest para lang ma-PR sa Au, tapos di ka rin pala "excited" pumunta or better yet i-risk mo na maglapse IED mo for factors out of hand. Shempre tayo mas mahabang preparation at pag-iipon mas ok di ba pero i think wala sila pakialam dun. Ang iniisip nila once na nagpasa ka application, handa ka na emotionally, financially and physically anytime maapprove. Weird nga, marami sa atin nagmamadali magrant tapos di nmn pala agad pupunta, isa na ako sa guilty dito. Hehehe.

I personally don't think DIAC will care. It's not their job to make us comply with the entry requirement.

Hindi naman nila visa ang maaalanganin. A visa is only a visa. It doesn't make us PR. It's the entry that "activates" it. Wala pakialam gobyerno, di ka pa resident nila.
They have way too much on their plate. It's not their loss if one migrant can't enter at a specified time.
A deadline is a deadline. I've learned that dito. They have steadfast rules. Pag sinabi 8am, it's 8am. If you can't make it, you better have a good excuse at hand.

Ang naiisip ko lang valid reason is a life-threatening condition. In which case, they can probably say, you're not medically fit to enter anyway. And have you reapply once medically cleared.

Hi guys, i am in dilemma right now. End of August ang dedline ng IED namin pero until now dko pa rin na book ng ticket ang family ko. Wala kasi ako nakukuhang accomodation. Haiz sana naman meron dyan may magandang kalooban na willing mag pa stay sa amin kahit 1 week lang. Meron kasi ako 1 yr old baby eh, worried ako sa kanya lalo na ngayun winter pa. Nang hihinayang naman ako kung di sila makapag entry. WA nga pala destination namin.

I can't understand why you were not able to book tickets just because of accommodation concerns; that should not be problem I guess...

Ang malaking problema now is (1) mahal na ang tickets as you much depart no later than 2 months from now and (2) if you can't go by end August, then it is goodbye to the Australian dreams.

All the best to you!

jvframos

@Phil_Sing_Au why don't you try to book for a hostel or inn for the meantime. try booking.com to look for hotels with different price range. wag mo compromise young IED nyo otherwise mababalewala lahat ng preparations nyo to reach this far. Hope you can settle everything earlier.

rachelle_gan2

@jvframos naabutan ka rin visa increase..My dependent ka din?

jvframos

@rachelle_gan2, oo inabutan ako kasi july 14 na kami nakapaglodge ng visa application. yung vetassess kasi june 22 na dumating ang result so di na talag umabot before the deadline.

AU$6120 na yung fee for the whole family w/ 2 kids.

rachelle_gan2

@jvframos sayang naman.. feeling ko aabot pa cya kung thet day pag ka receive mo ng ielts apply eoi at WA state agad.. sayang ung fees..

Samin parehas din tau ng babayaran.. i have 2 kids din kasi. $ 6120 Aud din plus agent then.. Sakit sa bangs.. ang mahal talaga..pero ok na rin para sa mga bata na rin kasi atleast libre ung school sa au. Ok lang yan sis.. Good investment ika nga..

jvframos

@rachelle_gan2 sakit talaga sa bulsa yun nga lang magandang future naman ang kapalit for the kids. ang naihabol lang namin before july 1 deadline is young direct WA SS application.

wala pang balita sa CO namin, di pa nageemail agent ko. paglabas ba ng visa nyo fly na kayo agad sis?

rachelle_gan2

@jvframos Yan talaga ung pinag iicipan ko ng mabuti.. kung mag kakajob offer naman agad syempre go na go na. Pero kung pupunta agad ng wala pang offer mukhang hindi ko pa masasagot kasi in fairness naman kay SG sobrang maganda naman ung blessing na binigay samin ng work ni hubby..Tsaka ung worry ko kasi meron pako 1 yr old pag dating namin dun malamang d ako makakapag work baka mahirapan ako.. dto sa sg atleast my yaya.. doon walang yaya kaya ang hirap talaga.. Baka mag IED muna kami tapos palakihin ko muna c baby tapos un saka ko na icipin un.. ang importante pag my visa na anytime pde na pumunta..

Pero kung my job offer na maganda naman para kay hubby, ok lang na plain house muna ako sa au..

5 yrs old and 1 yr old ung bunso ko.. sobrang baby pa.. ung sau ba? malalaki na?

jvframos

naku oo malalaki na mga anak ko, 13 y/o and 16y/o kaya malaki na talaga gastos namin. plan namin if granted na, on our EID, punta kami lahat then maiwan na dun si hubby at yung eldest ko. maghahanap na work si hubby then si daughter ko magsccout na ng university para dun na sya magcollege while kami ng bunso ko babalik Dubai para may pangsupport muna kami sa sa kanila while nandun sila. mahirap magrisk na pareho kami naghahanap ng work at walang pumapasok na income.

ditto muna ko sa Dubai at ipon ipon muna. maganda naman work namin dito tapos tax free pa, hinabol lang talaga namin yung mas magandang future sa Aus... like you, grateful din ako sa dubai. punta kami ng Aus pag magkawork na dun si hubby. plan pa lang naman. sarap mangarap noh. sana granted na yung visa :-)

rara_avis

@rachelle_gan2 SG-based din kami and ganyan din plan namin ni Husband... yung baby ko mag-1 year old pa lang next month so gusto ko muna at least 2 years old sya bago iwan sa child care sa AU. Pareho din kasi kami nagwowork. Plan namin mag-initial entry sabay bakasyon, check din namin kung sa Sydney ba or Melbourne kami mag-settle.

After mag-initial entry meron din bang deadline kung kelan ka dapat mag-settle? A friend told me that within 5 years daw dapat permanently living ka na sa Australia. Can anyone confirm?

rachelle_gan2

@rara_avis yes sis atleast pag ka tapos mo mag entry 5 yrs naman ung validity ng pr. Kaso pag sinagad mo yan mahihirapan ka sa renewal kasi ang PR makaka pag renew ka if atleast 2 yrs ka ng continuos working sa AU. kaya dapat pag ka 2nd yr talaga ng PR punta kana AU. No choice talaga or else ka ka ma rerenew.

Kaya plan ko after ma grant ng visa hanap agad work para lay hubby para atleast isa samin my work. pde na lumipat. kahit housewife na muna. 🙂 Bonding with the kids. Mahal ang childcare sa AU at lalong walang nanny..

We went thre last yr. Gaya ng iba sobrang na inlove then ako sa lugar.. pinuntahan namin ang brissy, melbourne at sydney. c hubbybgusto sydney, ako naman Melbourne.. Pero kahit san ok lang basta kung saan ung work.

Girl matanong ko lang, March kapa ng EOI pero July kana na invite.. prang ang tagal.. ilang points ba kau? Kinabahan tuloy ako kasi kami sakto lang 60 points.. 🙁

rara_avis

@rachelle_gan2 ano naman sis ang nagustuhan mo sa melbourne at nagustuhan ni hubby sa sydney? bakit sa brisbane ayaw nyo?

regarding sa eoi, yung occupation ko kasi ubos na ang slots january pa lang so nag-antay pa ako ng july para marefresh ang ceiling. ayun kaya recently lang ako na-invite.
