TSS 482 VISA

Joninho

Lagay ko rin ang timeline ko.

WARNING: Long post ahead

October 25, 2021 - first conversation with employer

October 27, 2021 - received confirmation na for INTERVIEW

November 04, 2021 - interview done

December 02 - job offer with visa sponsorship

December 16 - Visa Nomination granted

PLOT TWIST #1 December 16 din si Bagyong Odette. Humingi ako ng time na maka lodge kasi natamaan ang Cebu ng matindi ni Odette. Survival mode muna, plus pahirapan pa sa internet, kuryente at tubig

Hinintay ko din mga documents ni gf, akala ko ma kaya pa na ma sali siya. Kinapos sa pera eh. So LDR muna ngayon.

January 27, 2022 - Visa Application Lodged.

Feb 21, 2022 - Medical

March 24, 2022 - Visa Granted

PLOT TWIST #2 : AKALA NYO DITO MAG TATAPOS HA. LOL Akala ko rin

Kahit before pa na grant yung visa ko, tinanong ko na ang employer kung alam ba nila ang OEC and if tutulungan ba nila ako sa OEC. Nag send din ako ng links and mga files regarding the OEC. Inexplain ko din sa kanila kung bakit kailangan ito sa isang Pinoy na may working visa. Dito na tayo na tagalan. Kasi may mga sensitive na details ang ibibigay ng company to the embassy, like business number at kung ano ano pa, na hindi naman kadalasang ibinibigay nila, so medyo reluctant sila dito na part.

Plus si employer, first time maka encounter nito, so very unfamiliar territory for them. Ang alam lang nila, basta may visa na for Aus, walang problema sa pag pasok. Kaso, ang problema is kung makaka labas ba ako ng Pinas. They had to know the laws regarding Philippine passport holders on a work visa.

April - May - todo convince sa kanila ayaw pa din

June - buti na lang may naka usap ang HR ng company, HR ng ibang hospital, na may na hire na Pinoy under 482, and dumaan sa OEC na processing. Dun na na convince ang HR na isend ang POLO Verification documents.

June 30, 2022 - Na padala na ang documents to POLO

July 15, 2022 - Received POLO Verified documents by email

Ayan na! Tuloy2x na ang pag process ng OEC after nun.

August 18, 2022 - OEC Granted. Pag gabi nito nag book na kaagad ng ticket to Aus.

Aug 23, 2022 - Lipad na papunta dito

Aug 24, 2022 - TATSDAWN!

Kaya payo ko sa mga nagsisimula pa lang/ may balak mag Australia with a 482 Visa:

Discuss with your employer regarding the OEC, and their role in helping you get the OEC.
Sa interview part pa lang, ipa alam na sa kanila para aware sila and para mas maaga kayong maka convince nila (if ever hindi pa sila naka experience ng mag file ng POLO Verification)

HAHAHA. Imagine yung frustration bro, napaka prolonged.

Once malapit na ma tapos ang OEC application mo, ma feel mo na worth it yung pag kuha niya. May peace of mind ka kasi pag dating mo sa airport. Alam mong di ka ma o-offload, di mo na kailangan ng mga pa sikot2x, kasi alam mo dumaan ka sa tamang proseso eh.

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

Hi! DIY lang ako nag apply ng visa ko.
Ano kailangan mo malaman?

Ayuuuun hello! Bale gusto ko lang malaman if need ko pa ba mag-skills assessment? Accountant ako pero nababasa ko pag visa 482 di naman daw need ng skills assessment pag accountant ka. So medyo naguguluhan ako haha

Hello po! Sa mga nakalipad na po to AU, ask ko lang po sana if ano yung hinanap sa inyo sa immigration dito sa PH at pagdating din po sa AU?

Sharing my timeline din po. 😊
August 8 - application lodged
August 15 - medical sa IOM Makati (cleared same day sa immi account)
Sep 1 - visa granted

Not sure po sa accountant. Nurse kasi ako, so kailangan talaga yung assessment sa amin kasi may part ng visa application na kailangan iinput yung assessment namin.

Sorry kung medyo pina asa. Di rin ako familiar sa assessment when it comes to accountancy eh.

Congrats sa iyo!
Kung 482 ka, sa check in pa lang hinahanap na ang OEC. So una mong puntahan bago ka mag check in is ang POEA/OWWA desk para ma verify ang OEC. Present mo ang isa sa mga verified OEC sa airline during check in para bigyan ka ng boarding pass.

After nyan, sa Immigration, hinihingi ang OEC at POLO-Verified Contract mo. Isasauli lang din naman.

Sa Aus, wala lang. passport lang. naka input naman yung details mo sa system so all goods lang.

Additional tip: kung mag bobook ka ng flight, WAG KA MAG SCOOT. Suki sa delayed/missing bags. Di pa nga ma hanap ang isa kong bag eh, lagpas isang buwan na.

Thanks you po! thanks din po sa info and tips! meaning po ba, I should print more than 1 copy of the OEC? Nasa province po kasi ako at sabi sakin ng agency is via email lang daw po nila isesend yung OEC.

nakapagbook na po ako ng flight, thankfully hindi naman SCOOT. hoping na okay yung experience with CebPac.

Hopefully makita po yung bag niyo. or mareimburse man lang po kayo.

regardless kung ano profession mo, most of the working visas, including 482, will ask you to get your skills assessed. for accountants, pwede kang magpa assess sa CPAA, CAANZ, IPA.

I suggest read the narratives for 482, before ka magbasa dito sa forum na to. i know this forum helps, but it's very important to have the first hand information from DHA itself thru their published guidelines.

i am also a DIY migrant who had my skills assessed by CAANZ so hope this helps and give you some assurance

Hi @jobxxx thanks for your thoughts. Yup, I've done my research naman din regarding visa 482. I've also joined a lot of FB groups to check and may mga accountants for visa 482 na nagpa-assess and hindi nagpa-assess. As per the list din kasi na ni-release ng immi, hindi kasama ang accountants sa may mandatory skills assessment kaya medyo confusing. Although naka-book naman na ko ng consultation with a migration lawyer, kaya lang next week pa kasi at ang tagal haha so I was just looking around if may same exp ba but thank you!

Yes, print many copies of OEC. I-oorient ka regarding nyan sa PDOS seminar mo. They suggest 3, pero I say na mas safe if may at least 5 copies ka.

IMHO po, mas malaki chance na ma grant ang application if may assessment para mas may proof na suitable ang skills na meron ka to the job na ibibigay sa iyo. so if may chance na magpa assess ka, mas mainam yun.

Onshore applicant here. Same din saken yong isa kong kakilala ni require siya ng agent to acquire assessment and same kami ng nominated occupation and stream. I asked the HR pati migration agent kase nag duda ako at first (relieved and medjo takot sa feeling kase yong assessment talaga saken medjo headache and baka ma refuse yong visa) lol and they said na hindi required ang assessment. Well I trust them naman and they also had the same experience with prev employees and na sponsoran din. Baka ibat-ibang case talaga.

Hello Ms @RheaMARN1171933, hope you are doing well po. I've read your posts here and you have been a good help to us. Do you have any idea or can you enlighten us bakit yong ibang naka 482 visa need ng assessments and yong iba walang assessments? Thank you po. 😊

Hala nakapagPDOS na po ako pero no mention po ng printing of multiple copies ng OEC. Buti na lang nagcheck ako dito. Thank you po!

Hi, new in the forum. I have a pending application - TSS 482 Short term. Complete na documents ko pero wala pa ding update sa ImmiAccount ko until now. Last update was Sept 1. Status received pa din.

Timeline ko:
Aug 5 - lodgement (no medical and police clearance yet)
Sep 1 - health checks sent, and accepted
Sep 23 - Uploaded SG police clearance (SG based po ako).
Status to date: Received.

Should I be concerned or matagal pa ba ito? Usually gaano katagal pa ito after masubmit lahat ng docs. Nakakakaba lang kasi walang update.

Usually mga 1-2 months ang waiting ng mga 482 applications dito. Natural lang yan na kabahan ka. Dumaan din kami dyan. haha. Check mo lang daily baka may update.

Hi new in the forum, I am mainly interested on finding employers open to visa sponsorship. Just wondering how you found yours? If willing lang naman mag-share hehe. Thaaanks

Hello po, offshore or onshore? Try to check sa seek, indeed, linkedin or any jobs application platform po. May mga companies na they offer sponsorship during the application pa lang and nakalagay mismo sa post nila. Also, depende sa employer po if they will provide agad-agad or you have to stay sa company for months or years before they can decide about the sponsorship. Try your luck and send many applications kase swerte-swerte din makahanap ng sponsorship.

Nag apply ng apply lang ako boss. Sa mga online websites like Seek. Gawa ka din ng LinkedIn tas lagay mo credentials mo doon. Be honest lang sa creds, baka pag mang hingi sila ng proof tas wala kang maipakita, lagot yung future mo.
Mag handa ka rin sa sarili mo na marami talagang rejections and mga "muntik na" moments, pero darating ang tamang offer para sayo.

Hello mga kabayan, my employer is willing to sponsor me after my probation period. I am a System Analyst under Medium and Long Term skills currently onshore.

I checked that I can hold 482 - TSS with pathway to PR but me and my husband are thinking if pwede ba mag 186 DE since I have ACS assessment and more than 3 years working experience.
Any insights what are the chances for 186, will it be more difficult for the employer?
Was this even offered to you guys before when employer said they are willing to sponsor?

if 186 DE is in the offer, then take it. employer mo lang makakasagot kung alin (482 or 186) ang comfortable sila to offer you.

Hellooooooo! Mostly ng mga nababasa ko dito, sagot ni employer yung visa fees nila. Pero meron ba dito na sila mismo ang nag-cover ng visa fees, as in out-of-pocket? moving na din yung process nung sakin. Kaka-lodge lang ni employer ng nomination last week. Nakakakaba pala talaga
