Moral Obligation - 2 years - State Sponsored Visa

Chill

Hello friends.

I've been in WA since August 2013 and I should say that there is a lot of promising opportunities here.

Unfortunately these past months, I wasn't successful in looking for work. It came to a point na nag volunteer work na ako sa profession ko talaga just to get experience. And alam naman natin na dami ding job cuts dito so talagang ramdam talaga ang scarcity of opportunities.

I submitted my letter of request sa skilled migration ng WA this morning to free me for my obligations to stay for 2 years dahil kulang na Rin ako ng funds. I was able to provide them several, 33 to be exact, of my rejection letters. They advised me that the response is 28 days from now. Im crossing my fingers that they will ag

I assume that I did my homework and earnestly looked for work, and I was upfront about my situation dahil hindi biro ang bayad ng shared accommodation rent...dilemma ko kasi ang mga relatives ko nasa east coast: nsw, Victoria, Canberra and I want to stay with them para makati long din kahit papaano sa situation ko.

Your thoughts? 🙂

@Chill - ano po ang skill/occupation nyo?

balitaan nyo kmi sa result ng appeal nyo sa WA..

Chill

Human Resource Advisor...kaya hirap ako kasi kailangan nila local experience. That is why I opted to do voluntary work so that I hit 2 birds in one stone:

Get the local experience
Voluntary work can be considered as paid work so pwede mo ilagay sa resume mo.

Kaso, hindi naman pwede ganito ang situation ko hanggang matapos ang taon and start of 2014. I also did odd jobs to sustain some of my expenses pero that is not why I'm here for.

Prior me going there sa office nila, they asked me 4 questions via email and I responded to them tapos this morning, I provided copies of my rejections letters. Wala pang 2 minutes tapos na usapan naming...so I'm hoping maging positive ang results. Thoughts ko kasi, mas mabuting transparent ka kasi sooner or later they will catch you if you defraud them.

I checked the immi.gov.au and nag increase na pala yan moral obligation from 2 years to 4 years.

@Chill .. i think you did the right way.... At first kasi you were ask if you have enough funds to stay in that specific state at least 3 months ata... then you have to declare magkano ang funds mo and monthly expenses.

Hope it positive ang result at makahanap ka na ng work. 🙂

Chill

Thank you @meehmooh 🙂 I'm hopeful that positive result will come. Whatever the outcome, what is important is that you are upfront. They will not take it against you since you have done your part. Ang mahirap kasi is the bigger picture, if it happens that I decide to apply for citizenship, sumabit ako dahil hindi ko ginawa yung necessary step to inform them about my whereabouts.

@packerz..thanks for the tip. Yeah, I guess I got lucky that I was only required to do 2 years so I'm really thankful in a way...I'd be even more thankful if I move in any region down East with my relatives and be able to get a job at the start of the year 🙂

@Chill penge po link na nagincrease na into 4yrs ang moral obligation. tnx po 🙂

Chill

@icebreaker. Sorry i don't have the link nor the file as mine only mentions 2 years, not 4. I got the information from packerz (see the thread above) that it was increased from 2 to 4 🙂

I didn't know that 2 years changed to 4 years moral obligation. If ever meron man for sure magseset sila ng effectivity date and sympre hindi na included dun ung mga prior visa grants na..

Chill

@Arch Onin...you are right that others who were granted the previous visa will not be affected about the 4 year obligation (if it is indeed confirmed). What is crucial is the one that you signed in the agreement with WA Skilled migration. So if it is 2 years, 2 years. If there were changes, di ka affected 🙂

I've been doing odd jobs here and there and have done volunteer work as Human Resources in a not for profit organisation and the lesson learned i got: transparency is key. Biro nga dito, slow ang Aussies but sooner or later they will catch you 🙂

Have a good weekend! For those na nasa Perth or WA ngayon, lapit na ang xmas parade which is next week 🙂 My first(and maybe my last time) to see it live!

Cheers!

Hi Friends:

Just wanted to let everybody know that we got approved by WA skilled migration that we are free off with the 2 year obligation. I'm surprised na mabilis ang approval nila 🙂

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!

@Chill - congratulations... 🙂 all the best in wherever you will be going!

@Chill ayos.. mabuti na ang nagpaalam ng maayos..

Arch_Onin

@Chill, congrats and good luck to your journey! ok yan at least legal. 🙂 Try ko din magstay and work sa WA.. walang imposible sa pinoy, lahat kayang gawin at pagtrabahuhan.. 🙂 Still thankful for them dahil sila ang nagrant sa akin.. 🙂

Chill

Salamat mg kaibigan...at least May benchmark na yung mga kasama natin sa forum for their future reference. Have a good weekend 🙂 good luck Arch Onin. WA is a good region, best place to raise a family, with good beaches everywhere tsaka Maluwag Dito. If not for our pressing priorities, I could've still stayed here 🙂

HI @ Chill,

What did you provide to the state when you requested to be free from 2 year obligation to stay... did they request anything before your approval?

Hi @chill...ilang weeks bgo naibigay ang release?

Arch_Onin

First of all, let me greet all of you a Happy New Year! 🙂

Magtatanong nrn po ako sa inyo kahit opinion lang.. How many months kaya (or weeks) ako pwedeng magstay temporarily in other states just to obtain that IED requirement before ako magstay permanently sa nominated state ko (2 years min in 4 years).. Balak ko sana pumunta muna ng Melbourne before WA. 🙂

Gusto ko rin malaman to. Pero ung samin naman, if ever ma-grant kami ng visa plano sana namin maginitial entry sa Melbourne by June or July. Tapos magpapaiwan na dun wife ko to look for temporary work while me and baby will go back to SG. Plan namin to permanently move to WA is by march/april2015 so dun pa lang lilipat ang wife ko. Di na raw kasi masaya si wifey sa current work nya dito sa SG kaya masyado na excited na lumipat sa Aussie.

Ang tanong ko lang din, pwede ba magwork si wife sa Melbourne temporarily kahit na sponsored kami ng WA? Sa Melbourne kasi madami kaming relatives na pwede magassist sa kanya kapag wala ako at ung ibang kamaganak din ay maaaring makatulong sa kanya while searching for job dahil related sila ng work.

Thank you
