Hello po,
Kung magpa-state sponsorship po ako, pwede po ba ako mag stay sa Aus ng halimbawa ng 1 week and then balik sa Pinas? Kasi baka di pa tapos yung mga commitments ko po sa work kung halimbawa pumasa ng maaga.
off topic sa ielts thread. kaya dito ako nag reply.. hehe..
There are two things:
1) Initial Entry Date (IED) - example ma grant visa mo at nakalagay na IED is Dec 2012.. so u need to satisfy that.. you need to enter before that date, patatak ng passport, then pwde kana bumalik pinas...
2) the second thing is the expiration ng visa, i believe 5 years un.. so within 5 years.. kailangan makabalik ka to finally settle..
ang kaibahan lang ng 176, is you need to stay sa state for the first 2 years of your stay,
sa 175 wlang restrictions pwde ka magstay kaht saang state..

@lock_code2004 : Thanks for the insight. Follow-up question lang po, if God willing maka-grant po 176 visa namin (myself, hubby and 9 year son), do we really need to enter OZ to satisy IED or pede din na ako na lang muna then balik sa Pinas? Thanks in advance.
