@hard2handle sinabi ba sa diac kung they already reached their quota for family migration for this program year?

hard2handle

Lagot,july pa pala uli.ang bilis naman ata mapuno? Siguro nga dapat na kulitin si CO. Pwede din siguro mag-inquire sa diac?

@axln hindi ko alam kung numbers ng visa grantee ang nasa website ng diac or planning level lang yun.basta we took CO's word na malapit na mapuno. Thinking na january start ng program year,kaso july pala.

axln

@hard2handle ok. Ang intindi ko dun, 190,000 visa ang iaaprove nila ang breakdown is <i>"128,550 visas will go to skilled migrants and 60,885 visas will be for family migration. There will also 565 places for migration under special eligibility." </i>

hard2handle

@axln narealize ko nga na baka planning level yun. So,any suggestions on what my next move should be?

axln

@hard2handle i think just follow-up from time to time.

hard2handle

Problem po kasi sa case ko,i already declined 2 ship assignments since receiving allocation.

here goes my dilemma. if i decide to join a ship now, there's a big chance that i will miss ied,if ever we get our grant this year.

If i don't join a ship soon then i will be out of practice for a very long time with little chance of getting hired again + the issue of dwindling resources. Ok lang sana kung magka-grant agad. But then there's no gurantee that we'll get one this year or next.

Frustrating na & i really don't know which decision is wiser.

Ang haba na,sorry guys!

@hard2handle medyo mahirap nga situation mo.

Grabe pala ang taas ng income tax sa australia. With my current salary dito sa singapore, my tax is equivalent to AUD4500 per year. With same amount of salary in Australia, tax is AUD18500 per year. 4 times higher.

Pero kung makakasama ko naman mga kapatid ko sa Melbourne, oks na.

@hard2handle - medyo complicate nga po ang case nyo dahil sa visa 496..

kung visa 189/190 sana straight forward lang

pag nagpamedical and PCCs completed na, then your IED would be approximately one year from that..

so you can estimate kung kelan yun.. and plan accordingly whether to accept or not the your next assignment...

the complication is kung may quota nga ang visa nyo..

hard2handle

@lock_code2004 @rolly04 may quota ata lahat ng visas,according sa planning level ata nila ang pag set. Dahil 496 kami kaya naging least of tha least sa priority din..full of uncertainities nga kaya ang hirap magdecide. I dont want to sound pessimistic but i simply cant help it.

iniisip ko kung sumakay muna ako then kung dumating visa,wife ko nlng pumunta oz tapos bahala na if makasunod ako o not..kaso complicated ata lalo no? Haay...

StickyNote

@hard2handle did your CO categorically tell you that the quota for your visa subclass has been reached. Kasi, nabasa ko sa earlier post mo na sabi ng CO mo "na hindi siya sure " kung mabibigyan ka ng visa this year. Bakit naman kaya di siya sure? parang malabo naman yata. Kasi ang tingin ko diyan, malapit na ma-reach ang quota pero meron pa din. kailan po ang huling email nyo sa CO at ang reply nya?

hard2handle

@StickyNote Unsure si CO kung mabigyan pa kami this year ng visa kasi once nareach na raw yung planning levels na na-set ng government e stop na nga daw pag grant. but, he did not give us any assurance whether we will receive the grant on the next program year. So, I really don't know where we stand right now. Last message from CO was 2-3weeks ago na siguro. but we did send follow-up emails to him just recently and as usual puro auto reply lang.

I really thought that medical and pcc were the ultimate requirements already. I believe they should have given us our slot the moment they asked for our medicals and pcc's. It is simply unfair that we still do not have our visas even after qualifying in all aspects of their requirement.

Right now I really don't know if it is still wise to once again wait for who knows how long or to just move on with our lives.

ano po palagay nyo mga kababayan?

I totally agree with you. There should have been slots that were reserved for you and your family when they asked for medicals and pcc's. After you were able to satisfy all the requirements, I think the granting of visas should have been automatic.
