457 Dependent/Secondary Visa Class UC

isidro023

Hello po sa inyong lahat!

A company in Perth sponsored me a 457 Visa while I was still in Philippines last April 2013.
I arrived here in Australia last June 16, 2013. Now they also sponsored my wife a 457 Secondary/Dependent Visa in line with my Visa and approved last July 2013. Tanong ko lang po sa naka experience, anong papers or documents need I secure ng aking wife para hindi po siya maharang sa PH immigration. Tama po ba na ito lng ang ipapakita niya;

1. Visa Grant
2. Passport
3. Photocopy of my OEC
4. Need pa din ba siya mg semninar sa CFO?

Thanks in advance!

nfronda

@isidro023..Visa grant letter and passport lg po..ok na yan, no need na ng CFO semninar..

Yung photocopy ng OEC mo para yun maka avail siya ng reduced travel tax. Pero dapat yata certified true copy yung OEC mo. Dependent din ako ng husband ko pero nung kumuha siya ng OEC sa POEA as balik manggagawa pina photocopy namin tapos pina certify true copy sa POEA kasi parang na mention yun last time nung in charge sa collection ng travel tax sa airport. Kelangan din niya magdala ng Original ang xerox ng marriage certificate nyo para sa reduced travel tax. Try nalang kung pwede mag avail ng reduce travel tax kahit hindi na certify as true copy yung xerox ng OEC baka papayag sila. kung hindi papayag then bayaran nalang niya yung full amount

@nfronda @apc thanks sa inyong mga reply.
Certify tru copy na ung OEC na hawak ng wife ko. Tanong lng po, ano po dapat ilagay doon sa purpose of travel sa declaration form?
and allowed ba mg work at study ung wife/457dependent visa?

nfronda

Same here. I am on my 457 visa arrived last month 21st of July. Makulit yung taga immigration sa Pinas daming question pinakita ko lang yung passport and visa grant ko. No need to take seminar ng CFO. Though I paid tax for Ph 1,500.00 kasi foreigner yung husband ko. Just prepare all papers photocopy and original pra segurado God bless po sa misis nyo.

Sorry don't have an idea if how much po..

nfronda

@jonienoelmelo..mabilis lg po..1-2months lg..

jonienoelmelo

@nfronda thanks.. ipon muna pla kme for visa application fee.. 1 month plang naman din c hubby sa perth...

isidro023

@nfronda thanks! online (seek.com, indeed.com & etc) ka lng din ba nghanap ng work nung 457 dependent visa ka pa?

@jonienoelmelo dito din pala perth husband mo. Perth din ako last june 16, 2013 ako dumating. Tanong ko lang di kaba kasama sa inapply ng company ng hubby for dependent visa? yung sa akin kasi sagot din ng company ko pati processing ng dependent visa for with pati plane ticket.

nfronda

@isidro023..unang work ko po dito is sa company ng dad ko. Then 2nd work and work ko po now is thru newspaper..

apc

hi, ask lang po. anu po ung mga documents needed if mag aapply ng visa as dependent. on 457 po husband. and if may idea kau on how much ang magagastos namin. thanks..

hi! 457 dependent rin po ako. Pero since kasama na ako sa original nomination ng husnand ko nung 2012, wala kami ginastos dahil flat fee pa noon at employer na ang nagbayad. Now, meron kami new baby born sa Philippines at kaaply ko lang ng dependent visa niya . Since meron changes ng visa fee nung July 2013, ang visa fee ng baby namin ay $900.

So kung wala pa kayong visa at ngayon pa kaayo mag-aaply ng dependent visa , eto breakdown ng fees:

base application: $900 (bale visa fee mo to)
kung may anak ka na above 18 y.o. $900 para sa kanya
kung may anak ka na below 18 y.o $225 each
medical exam: ang fee depende yun kung xray lang ang required or kung medical exam ang required. yung baby namin since hindi ini xray ang babies medical exam pinagawa, P2,350 nabayaran ko.

As for the documents, if you were not included in your husband's original nomination, then you need to ask for a letter from your husband's employer stating that they are extending their sponsorship obligations to you(dapat nakasulat sa letter lahat ng name ng dependents ng husband mo). other documents include passports, passport photos, birth cert, marriage cert, letter from health insurance indicating you have health coverage for 457 visa.

jonienoelmelo

@isidro023 ndi pa ako kasama sa nomination kc ang gusto ng employer e at least mka 3 months muna ang husband ko,..

@apc thanks s info ha. linawin ko lang ha, ung health insurance letter, d2 b un saken manggagaling o ke husbnd sa australia?

Pasensya na po kau ha. First time lng kc both sides ng family namin ang may nakaalis puntang Au e kaya wala kaming mapagtanungan dito.

nfronda

@jonienoelmelo..in regards with ur health imsurance, sabihan m c hubby m na contakin ang health insurance company nya at e include ka nya as his wife.. at pag na include ask a letter from health insurance company to prove na included ka.

Ok lg po yan..yan po ang silbi ng forum.. para tumulong.

isidro023

@jonienoelmelo tama sinabi ni nfronda regarding health insurance, anytime pwede yun i-update yung napiling package. Yung sa akin is from IMAN health insurance at kinuha ko is for "Couple" wala pa kasi kami anak. $143.98 yun pinakamura per month discounted yun ng 5%. Buti na nga lang at sinagot na ni company yung Health Insurance namin, kaya sila na nagbabayad every month.

nfronda

@isidro023..IMAN din kmi before nung 457 visa pa lg kmi.. Ung kuya ko ngaun na still on a 457 visa IMAN din sya.. Den nang pumunta na dito ang wife nya inupdate nya lg IMAN pra gawing couple ang package nya den company din lahat nagprocess at nagbyad

@jonienoelmelo.. Madali lg e process ang 457 visa, sa sis in law ko mga 1 month lg ehh.. after 5 days of her medical visa grant kaagad.

jonienoelmelo

@nfronda @isidro023 thanks info ha.. inform ko kay hubby lahat. malaking tulong talaga tong forum!

dixie

Hello @nfronda,
good to know na hindi na kailangan mag take ng IELTS. Tanong ko lang if did it took you 5 years studying in your university? Naka-state kasi http://www.immi.gov.au/ site na at least 5 years of continuous full-time study in a secondary or higher education institution where instruction was conducted in English. Kasi four year course lang ang sa akin. Though siguro pwede din kumuha ng certificate sa High School ano?

nfronda

@dixie..ung sakin ung sa college lg prinovide ko kasi 5 yrs ang course ko. But pag hndi 5 yrs hingi ka rin ng certificate sa highschool mo at pati na rin sa elementary pra sure na sure.

dixie

@nfronda thank you.

Allysond

may possibility po ba na hindi naapprove yung subsequent entry visa (457 visa)? in my case kasi plan ko magresign after ko maglodge ng application kaso worried din ako baka mamaya e madeny pala:(
