@engineer20 ask ko lang bakit mahirap iprocess child visa?
sa case ko kasi yan lang option ko sa ngayon, hindi ko muna sinama sa application ko yung kids kasi wala akong sole custody. So naisip ko instead na ma refuse sila, process ko na later on...

markusandlucas · September 2016

@anoja pwede mo check mga timeline ng members dito sa forum to give you an idea sa process..

kung need mo help for CDR meron separate thread for Engineers Australia for tips and samples for CDR...

pwede ka rin start dito for guidelines:

@markusandlucas 7-8 months ang standard processing time nila for child visa. minsan may nababasa pa ako na 1 year bago nagrant.

Hi guys,dun po sa mga nagpa statutory declaration,pwede po humingi ng parang template?saka pano po yun,after pirmahan ng manager nyo,punta lang agad sa notaryo?sino po witness dapat?salamat.

batman · September 2016

@Ern see attached. as far as I understand yung Manager ang served as attestor na yun ang JD if related sa work yung SD mo. patotoo na yun ang JD mo at kay lawyer pa notarized.

google mo ibang sample.

Ern · September 2016

Good day sa lahat. Me and my partner are already preparing our documents for lodging pa ng VISA kasi positive nman result ng assessment ng ACS sa nominated code ko. Problema ko lng ngayon is di pa kami kasal. May nakita naman akng pwede ang de facto relationship kaya lang yung required documents like joint account tsaka proof of cohabitation is di pa aabot ng 12 months. Naka-apartment lang kasi kami dati kaya most of our billing statements nilalagay namin office address namin kasi wala namang tatanggap ng mga yun sa bahay during work days. Recently lng nka-change ng billing addresses kasi nakabili kmi ng family ko ng bahay malapit sa workplace nmin. May naka-experience na ba dito na nag-apply ng visa with de facto relationship? Are there other proofs that we may present or yun na lng talaga? Almost 6 years na rin kami ni GF kaya pwede naman magpakasal na lng kn mahihirapan talaga sa de facto relationship. He he. Kaya lang medyu matagal-tagal din yung process aabot ng 4months from registration ng marriage contract to getting the marriage certificates. Salamat sa mga makakatulong.

Also, pano maglagay ng signature? Chineck ko sa profile ko di ko makita ang option dun. Thanks!

engineer20 · September 2016

@kingmaling pinakamabilis ay magpakasal kahit civil lang at expedite process ng marriage contract sa NSO. kung de facto alam ko pwede din mga docs like flight itinerary, photos or affidavits to prove na matagal na kayong may relasyon.

markusandlucas · September 2016

question po on behalf of my friend, kapag wala sa SOL list un occupation and nasa CSOL anong visa ang pwede sa kanya? Thanks po

towbee · September 2016

@markusandlucas : Wow, may ITA na po pala kayo! God bless you

Lex55 · September 2016

@markusandlucas 190 and 489

markusandlucas · September 2016

@towbee Thanks. @StarJhan thank you din

Lex55 · September 2016

@markusandlucas welcome

489 is okay with CSOL as long as Nominated by State, but 489 via relative nomination applicable for SOL only.

kingmaling · September 2016

@engineer20 Thanks for the info. Nagkausap na rin kami ng mama ko earlier today and she said getting the docs for marriage mabilis nman daw. Mukhang mas OK na rin kasi if kasalan na para wala na masyadong maraming hinihinging documents. Marriage certificate na lng. Hehe.

So followup question ko na lng. Pwede bang "married" na ang status ko pag naglodge ako ng EOI even if after a few days or weeks pa kami talaga ikakasal? Di ko pa naman siguro makukuha agad yung NSO certified na marriage certificate. Or OK na yung pipirmahan namin right after the wedding as proof of marriage namin?

engineer20 · September 2016

@kingmaling nope. de facto pa rin ilalagay mo hanggat di officially kasal. update mo na lang pag kasal na kayo at wala pa ring ITA.

Hi po. Plan ko po kasi to migrate to Australia (along with my wife, who's also working + 1 kid), ask ko lang kung need ko pa ba ng migration agency, or kayang kaya naman po ba kung walang agent? Working po ako dito SG for 2 yrs na, but total working experience ko is 7 yrs na (5 yrs sa Phils). Lahat po ba ng nagpo-post dito eh self-application lang or may immigration agency pa? thanks po.

Hi Brent parang almost same tayo ng case. nauna lang ako ng 1yr sayo. pwede rin mag agency pag may extra kayo, medyo mahal rin kasi dito sa sg ang migration agent. i inquired at aims.com.sg before and they quoted me like 4kSGD. meron rin mga members dito na ng agency.

Thanks aolee for the tip. Actually may na-check na rin ako sa pinas na agency, mas mura pa rin pala ng konti pag galing pinas. Medyo inabot na nga lang ng July1 point system, pero sige go pa rin. Good luck sa'tin lahat.

@brent hi

magkano po ang inabot ng expenses nyo pag sa pinas galing ?

yung ka officemate ko pinoy sa pinas kumuha ng agent, kasi mas gamay na nila ung schools natin don. siguro un ung advantage at ung fee mas mababa, bigay sa kanila 100k php that's roughly 3k sgd?

@aolee anong agency po kaya ung agent ung sinabi mo po kay @brent?ty

bluezaido · September 2016

hi, hindi ko sigurado kung may nagtanong na nito. sa EOI ba kelangan i-inidicate na may dependent ka? Kasama ko kasi wife ko sa visa ko as dependent. Alam ko may option dun na "future dependents" (i think), nilagay ko na lang 1 pero hindi ko malalagay ung name or any details about sa dependent ko. Saang part ng process ko malalagay details about my wife? After bang makuha ang invitation saka ko pwedeng ma-indicate na dependent wife ko?

One more thing pala, naka-student visa ako ngayon (as dependent) and wife ko ang primary. Meron na ba ditong nasa same situation ko, na dependent din at nag-apply for PR visa? thanks in advance!

batman · September 2016

@bluezaido number of dependents lang nman ang need sa EOI di specified kong wife or kids.

jhun2384 · September 2016

Hi, pwede bang mag lodge na ng docs for assessment kahit wala pang IELTS?

And ano ung required documents for the assessment?

Accountant here. Sorry. Newbie. Thanks.

kingmaling · September 2016

@jhun2384, It depends on the assessing body. For IT-related courses, ACS do not require IELTS. Not sure for accountants though. Check mo muna assessing body mo. For sure nandoon lang mga required docs.

chehrd · September 2016

hi po sa lahat..PH based mo kami..sa nabasa ko dito forumers who lodged their visas before where able to use Visa eon debit card..but now, limit nalang ng Unionbank is 100k per transaction..we are a family of 4 so we need 200k+, ano po ba ibang debit card pwede magamit? or pwede po ba kulitin ang Unionbank to approve transaction of more than 200k?
salamat po..

salamat po..

pwede nio tawagan bank to increase limit temporarily. anyway, debit card namn yan diba. tell them u need to pay ung application fee nga.

revsky · September 2016

good day mga kabayan! ang bilis ng visa approval ngayon sa 189. less than 10 days to < 2 weeks yung mga nakita akong post sa FB page ng RPS Migration Australia.

pwede po mag-apply ng independent visa 189 habang may hawak pa na 457 visa? maraming salamat.

batman · September 2016

@jhun2384 1 of the requirement for assessment is that you need an IELTS with 7 in all section to be able to get a positive migration assessment. kaya mag IELTS or PTE-A ka muna before ka maka pag pa assess. read more sa Accountant thread.
