FORM 80 Questions

Aedz

Hi everyone, we need your help regarding some of the questions in FORM 80. My wife and I applied for Skilled Independent and the case officer has already been assigned to our application. She requested us to accomplish FORM 80 and we are not sure of what to answer in some of the questions.

Question 22 : Do you have personal contacts in Australia (including business contacts/sponsor)? - Do we need to include our relatives even thou we did not apply for sponsorship?

Question 37 : Details of proposed arrival in Australia - Do we need to fill this out because we are still waiting for our visa to be approved before going there?

Question 46 : List, in chronological order, the addresses of the places where you have lived during the
last 10 years (including Australia). You must account for every month/year. If you are unable
to provide an address for any period of time please provide an explanation. - Do we need to indicate the address for short stays like 3-6 months? What is the minimum number of months that should be included in the application?

Question 50 : Have you undertaken an academic thesis, dissertation or publication (including
completed, withdrawn or continuing theses, dissertations or publications)? - We already forgot the thesis we made during college years and we don't have references anymore. We tried to ask all the people involved but they also forgot. Please advise if we still need to fill this out?

@Aedz : here's what we did sa Form 80 namin dati...

Question 22: di kami naglagay ng kahit sino even though we have friends and relatives. paranoid lang na baka may ipagawa sila or hingin from them na hassle para sa kanila. hehehe

Question 37: naglagay kami ng date kahit di naman sure. approximate lang naman yan.

Question 46: if you really lived in a place for 3 to 6 months, then yes. for my wife, meron syang short assignments for work in the US for 3 months. we listed it pa rin kasi she really lived and worked there.

Question 50: you should answer "no" to this question. from what i know, di kasama dito yung mga undergrad thesis. so we answered "no" to this question.

tumpak ang mga sagot ni pareng @hotshot!

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it.

Btw, may mga unclear questions pa kami regarding Form 80.

Question 4 : Did you use the passport/travel document at Question 1
to enter Australia? - Do we need to answer this? Kasi "Did" yung ginamit eh hindi pa kami nakakapag travel sa Australia?

Question 20 : Address in Australia where you can be contacted or will be staying - Hindi pa kami sure kung saan kami mag stay kasi we are planning to move there kapag na approve na ang visa namin. Do we need to answer this question?

Question 39 : What is the main reason for going to Australia? Include details of any dates that are of special significance to your time in Australia. - Inquire narin ako regarding this kung anong best answer. I know it's self explanatory but i just want to make sure na tama isasagot namin. We only have one shot so it's better to ask than to assume.

Question 47 : Give details of all employment including periods of unemployment. - Regarding sa type of business, what are the normal types of business for IT consulting company and in-house development? Can we just put "Consulting - Information Technology" and "Information Technology Services Provider"?

Btw, pareng Khaosan_Road same tayo ng CO team.

MARAMING SALAMAT ULIT SA INYO!

Question 39: nilagay namin "Permanent Residence". that's it.

Question 47: we simply placed "IT".

pareng @Aedz, tumpak ulet ang sagot ni @hotshot! .

Ang daming hinihingi ni CO na requirements no? yung PCC ko sa MY eh 2-3 months pa so sabi ni CO aware daw sya sa processing time ng MY kaya i-hold daw muna nya case ko til maprovide ko ung mga requirements that he asked. #gutted

Aedz

Thanks a lot sa inyo. oo nga daming hinihingi ni CO. sana makapasa din kami.

Aedz

Thanks a lot to all of you. Our visas have been granted last April 18, 2013. To all of those who are still processing their visas and waiting for approval, may God bless you.

Hi, i-clarify ko lang, di po ba to fill-up the form 80 you need to use a pen and hand written ang mga sagot? so when you send it CO scanned sya? Thanks and GOD Bless.

Hi lock_code2004,

Would you know how to put this in the form?

Travelled to SG under Visit Pass Jan.1,2013
When in SG, Visit Pass was changed to Employment Pass
Travelled back to Philippines Feb.1,2013 (for a vacation)
Back to SG under Employment Pass (to work)
Travelled back to PH for a vacation March 1,2013

Im a little bit confused kasi it says there " including any visits back to your country of citizenship ".


Thanks in advance

@lock_code2004, if i may answer sir @kangarooh, for any trips more than 24 hours/ 1 day, you should include them in your travel history kahit na bakasyon pa jun pauwi na pinas. That's what we did in our form80.

kangarooh

@jvframos - got it! thanks a lot!

kangarooh

may tanong ulet ako

Sa #49 "List all education and qualifications undertaken..."
Does it include Elementary/Primary and Secondary?

Thanks!

joestrummer

@kangarooh,

Idol ako, hindi namin nilagay yung primary and secondary.

Gusto ko lang po iclarify especially dun sa mga taga SG na pumupunta sa JB,Malaysia for 1 or 2 days. Nilagay nyo pa ba sa form 80? kelangan din ba walang time gap sa travels, ibig sabihin ilalagay din yung pagbalik sa SG for work?

alam ko may separate sections ang form 80..
- una ung residence mo for the last 10 years (dapat walang gap)
- and ung mga overseas travels... so kung nagtratravel ka kahit 1-2days lang dito mo ilalagay sa section na ito..
