@islaman baka malapit na yan. Nabasa ko yung iba parang 3-4 mos may allocated CO na. Hoping for the best sa atin para PR na. June 1 lang ako nag lodge. 🙂

Nung nag big move po kayo with visa 489, nag PDOS ba kayo? May kailngan po ba na ipakita sa airport or immigration officer aside from passport, ticket and visa grant?

Also, ano po insurance na kinuha nyo? Thank you @rdr8 @islaman

Kamusta po ang job hunting with visa 489? Mas mahirap po ba vs PR holders?

Our Big Move will be this October na. Planning planning na po kami.

@kisses1417 what is PDOS? If I am not mistaken, most airlines in Manila will check if you have a valid visa

There are heaps of insurance providers here but not sure which one offers good cover and reasonable price for 489 visa holders. Work wise, as long as you are allowed to work in a certain area as per your visa it does not matter if its 489 or 190.

Heads-up! It is not easy to find a job in oz especially for new migrants as most companies prefer some local experience but be open-minded and dont be picky. What you should aim for is to be given an opportunity to work locally. Which state you're planning to go to?

@kisses1417 hi! No need na for PDOS, hindi ako nag PDOS before. For PR lang ata yun. With regards to private insurance naman, Bupa yung kinuha ko kasi yun din naman insurance ko before nung visitor visa pa lang ako before. Marami private insurance naman para pagpilian mo. Depende rin sa needs mo. Basic lang kinuha ko kasi di naman ako sakitin

@kisses1417 sa work naman tama advice ni au_vic, be open minded and wag picky lalo sa umpisa. As for me, mejo matagal din bago ako nakakuha ng work. Pero be positive lang and patient. San state kayo magsettle?

kisses1417

We will be settling in Adelaide , SA @Au_Vic and @rdr8 . Though advise ng sis ko and friends to try muna sa regional NSW yung nakakagay na pwede postcode under visa 489. Kaso parang gusto ko din try sa adelaide kasi yun naman nagsponsor sakin, SA. Ano po sa tingin nyo?

Yes nilagay ko na po sa isip namin mag asawa na mahihirapan kami at sobrang di kami mapili dapat sa trabaho. We need to survive. Ika nga ng mga indians din na kausap ko, survival jobs talaga.

San po kayo based?

So kapag basic cover ng insurance pwede na ako pacheck up sa kanila ng free gaya ng mga Maxicare po dito?

Cge po actually I called CFO and nag email din ako to inquire about PDOS, di nga daw po kailangan 🙂

Pagdating po ba Australia, may kailngan pi ako iemail o iinform na nag BIG Move na ako?

Au_Vic

@kisses1417 just to confirm. your 489 was state sponsored by South Australia right? If yes, you have a moral obligation to stay in SA for at least 2 years as part of the state sponsorship.

I would suggest for you to be on the safe side and fulfill that 2 year obligation to prevent any issues when you apply for PR just in case immigration will do random checks if you have fulfilled your obligations.

By the way i am based in Melbourne.

I think for state sponsorship you need to register at adelaide state migration office once you arrived.

alright , thank you po @Au_Vic ☺️ Yes ganun na nga lang po di na ako magpapa bago ng isip, Adelaide na po talaga. Thank you 🙂

In applying for 887 ba, need pa din ng IELTS? Or the ones that i submitted to dibp for 489 would b3 enough kahit expired?

No need to attach english test for primary applicants...for dependents, you can attached a proof of functional english same as the one you used when applying for 489 visa

@tolitskii as per immigration for visa 887,

A. eligibility:

You must currently hold either:

a skilled visa

a Bridging visa A or Bridging visa B that was granted in relation to an application for a subclass 487, 489 or 495.

You must have held a skilled visa at some time for at least two years before you apply for the visa.

Note: Dependents and partners who hold a skilled visa and meet all other eligibility criteria can apply for this subclass 887 visa as the main applicant.</b>

skilled visas are...

<b class="Bold">Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)</b>

Skilled Independent Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 495)

Skilled Designated Area Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 496)

Skilled Regional Sponsored visa (subclass 475 or 487).

meaning, you can be the main applicant provided you have met all the criteria as main applicant

B. English

"Evidence of Functional English for each dependent applicant who is 18 years or older at the time this application is lodged. Evidence of Functional English can be provided up until the time the application is decided."

main applicant and partner does not need to provide evidence of english test except any dependent included in the application 18 yo and above.

Please note that main applicant, partner and each dependent included in the 887 must provide an evidence of meeting the 2yr residency requirement.

below is the link from dibp website about 887 and other requirements....

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887-

my advice, ensure that you, your partner and dependents meet all the requirements prior to lodging the visa application.
