Hello guys!
i was just informed by the employer that the Employer Nomination has been approved. july 28 pinasa yung application ko btw.
Normally ba if approved na yung nomination, ilang days or weeks bago mafinalize yung visa?
Thanks sa mga makakasagot.
Please also share your experience

Have you consulted a migration agent about your case? I don't know much about TSS visas so I can't really comment, but as far as I know, dependent visas aren't strictly limited to married people. If you have a de facto relationship (like you've lived together and have been in an exclusive relationship for at least a year), your partner can include you in his visa application. Check the Home Affairs website relevant to the 482 visa about the details.
The student visa will cost you a lot of money (tuition, visa fee, other costs related to visa application), and it could potentially take a lot of time too. There have been many cases that people applying for student visa have to wait for months just to get their visa approved, so hindi rin guarantee na mas mabilis ka makakarating dito pag nagstudent visa.

@michiko1004 mga 2-3months din ata. Diko actually alam kung kelan sya naapprove kung kahapon lang ba or last week. Pero July 28 lang sya nilodge kasabay ng visa lodging.
Kausap ko yung agent kaya sinend din nya saken yung receipt na nalodge na nila . So meron reference number.

Hi ma'am! Thank you for answering me po.
No po eh, did not ask any help from other migration agent na. Kasi sabi ng agency ng soon-to-be hubby ko, sila daw mag aasikaso ng dependent visa ko pero ayun nga lang, they want us to wait for 6 months before ako maapply (rule po ng agency nila yun). Kay agency din po kasi galing yung employer na magssponsor kay partner.
I really appreciate you po for answering me kahit you mentioned na you're not so familiar with Visa 482. But just in case lang po, would you know or ever heard na nag process mag-DIY nalang ng visa for the dependent? yung hindi na dumaan sa agency?

I see. Technically you can DIY if you really want to, just let the agency know siguro. But if there's an agency handling your husband's 482 visa, I would recommend you go with them na rin kasi kabisado nila yung requirements (to be on the safe side). Ang hassle kasi with DIY is kailangan mo aralin/i-research yung mga documentation requirements on your own, and that takes time and effort. Instead of you doing that work, you can focus on gathering your own documents for the dependent visa, and researching about life in Australia (looking at job ads, preparing your resume, cost of living, etc.)

Same tayo. Kaya na-delay rin pag apply ng nomination e. May hiningi sa kanila tapos hindi daw naibigay agad sabi nung agent.
Nung early July lang na-apply at hanggang ngayon nga wala pa rin nga feedback.

Thanks!
Yung sa ticket, no we did not buy muna ng ticket. Kasi nag ba-budget kasi kami, so we waited na magka OEC before purchasing a ticket. Pero on the same day, nung Thursday, kuha na kaagad ng ticket to the EARLIEST and CHEAPEST flight available.

Hi, we will be moving to Sydney soon and while waiting for the TSS 482, we learned na naka 5 direct hire na yung company. We are worried na pag nalaman ng company na they will need to deal with an agency na, baka maretract yung offer. Sa mga nagbackdoor, paano ang OEC if babalik ng Pinas for vacation? Yung rule na 5 direct hire still applies pa kaya? Nagbabasa basa ako about Balik Manggagawa Program, ito ba yung way para makakuha ng OEC na hindi na magaagency pa kung nagwowok naman na sa AU?

Hello everyone! Newbie here, nakapag-backread naman ako ng mga latest replies dito pero wala akong nakitang answer sa hinahanap ko. Meron ba ditong nag-apply ng visa 482 without the help of migration agents/lawyers? First time kasi ni employee magsponsor so di siya aware sa mga ganito. Eh ako gusto ko sana mag-avail ng services ng migration lawyer for me and my employer's protection na din for legalities etc. Naghahanap pa ko ng tiyempo na masabi kay employer hahaha
