Already got the 457 Visa, now how to process OEC?

BernaHipol

Is there anyone from you who could advise me how to get an OEC for my children, actually young adults. My husband and I arrived here in Oz from another country with visa 457 last year. My children were included also as part of the agreement of my husband's employment, but their application was processed separately since they are there in the Philippines and have to finish their studies and their application was processed separately but under the same nomination. They were granted sub class visa 457 too, now the immigration needs an OEC from them. How can the POEA issue them an OEC where in fact they were just dependents and they do not have contract from their stepfather's Australian company? And my husband does not have this OEC because he is not a Filipino. It is just so frustrating how bureaucratic our system is to their own fellow countrymen.The POEA office should have an officer who could preside on this special matters. The Australian government had issued already a valid visa based on the employment of the stepfather. All dependents and family members of having visa 457 was subject to pay OEC, I know someone here who have to pay 1200 PHP for that certificate.We are being subjected at the mercy of vultures and fixers now who could be salivating for a fee.

Hi @BernaHipol. My dependents are also on 457 visa, however they are minors. But from what I know, dependents don't need to secure their own OEC. Technically, OEC can only be issued to those with valid Overseas Contract therefore not applicable to your kids, unless there's a job waiting for them already once they land here. However they need a copy of your VALID (unexpired) OEC upon leaving PH. I remembered mine being photocopied twice to be attached on each of my kids' passport information when we secured airport clearance. Are you working? if so, the easiest way for this is for you to obtain an OEC or call POEA (which may take forever :-(.... ) since this out of normal scenario.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Aiza

@aanover Thanks for the reply. I called POLO Canberra and the Labor Attache was very helpful and called the POEA Phils. to inform them about my situation. The staff n POEA said, she does not need an OEC being a dependent. I called also the immigration lawyer here and she sent us a print copy of her VEVO which shows that she is secondary only. We booked her flight and armed with this letter, she showed it with the immigration. The Supervisor immediately remembered her and how she was first offloaded by another immigration officer who refused to listen to her at the first place. She was granted an approval to exit the country and we lost 600 USD for the rebooking and for the fare difference. Thanks to the Immigration officer named FRANCO. I would really raise this issue to the Immigration Office in the Philippines,to show how incompetent they were to read and interpret the visa sub class.

@AVEngr. Agreed! May flight nako. May bahay nako sa AU. Magsstart nako sa April 24, hanggang ngayon, WALA PA DOLE CLEARANCE AT OEC ko! Dapat ibasura na ang OEC, Pilipinas lang may ganyan. The country's way to milk money out of OFWs. Makocompromise career at future ng mga Filipinos dahil sa kagagawan ng OEC na yan.

Nakakuha ka na po ba ng OEC mo? Ilang weeks ka naghintay?

@Sai @AVEngr. nagiintay na ko ng working visa ko, now, natatakot ako baka di ako kagad makaalis dahil sa OEC, my employer is very urgent sa pagwork ko, kamusta po ung OEC?

Sai

@abegail0024 if you really need to go na, just exit in Singapore and process your OEC here 🙂

abegail0024

@ohzie hndi ba hahanapin un from SG to AU?

abegail0024

@ohzie sabi ng friend ko sa au hahanapin dw samin ung oec upon entry sa Australia. 457 kasi visa namin eh

ohzie

@abegail0024 hmm, twice na ko nag entry dito sa AU using 457 visa, pero walang hinanap saken yung immi AU sa airport aside from my passport. embedded kasi sa passport yung visa 🙂

Sai

@abegail0024 Hello. Yes, nakakuha nako ng OEC. Nandito na ako sa AU ngayon. Ang alam ko, OEC is just an exit pass and entry pass sa Immigration da Pinas. Walang bearing yan pag nandito ka sa Australia.

@Sai thank you so much sa input
