    It is still $3,060 sa DIAC - unless that changes; it remains as it is...

    HOWEVER, lodge pa rin ng application as soon as you can as we don't know exactly what will be their immigration plans for tomorrow.

    Sabi sa explanatory statement dun sa link na binigay ni sis @jaero, parang ang hindi lang affected ng increase ay ang Student Visa and Tourist Visa...

    Pero antayin pa rin natin ang update sa DIAC. :)

    "In accordance with the Statement, the Government has decided to increase all visa application charges, except for Student (Temporary) (Class TU) visas and Tourist (Class TR) visas, under the Principal Regulations from 1 September 2013."

    Actually naabutan din ako ng July 1 increase at malaki ang deperensya kasi 4 dependents ko. Kakabayad ko lang ng visa fees at buti hindi ako umabot ng Sep 1. Nakakapanghina yung increase sa fees pro nakakapanghinayang kung susuko dahil sa bayad. Tuloy lang...

    Mga sir/mam ito po yung link na nagpapakita ng increase for visa, including general skilled migration (visa 189 and 190) https://www.acacia-au.com/immigration-fees-increase-September-2013.php

    Agree po kay @TasBurrfoot, the sooner that you could file, the better. Also, may mga selected occupations din na parang on a pro-rated basis din sila mag bibigay ng Invitations dahil sa laki ng volume ng applicants like ng mga inabutan ng cut off for 2012-2013, so affected din applicants for 2013-2014 as advised by DIAC. LIke sa case ni NSW, hindi muna siya mag nonominate for 190 visa for the said occupations, so kahit ang nsw will still clarify kung paano yung mga ongoing assessments. Here is the link: http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/live-and-work-in-nsw/visa-and-migration/state-migration-plan

    I'm not sure if those applying for visa 189 are also affected by this. Any interpretations/views of our friends here are welcome. :) Salamat po.

    @kremitz Ito kasi ang sabi: "This advice means that it will not be possible for NSW to nominate any applicants from these occupations for a 190 visa."

    Hindi naman nila sinabi na hindi encouraged mag apply for visa 190, (income din kasi sa kanila yan), ang sabi nila ay they also do not encourage to withdraw those who have already submitted/ongoing applicants.

    Hindi ko rin pa masyado maintindihan yung ibig sabihin sa NSW. Baka meron pa tayong mga ibang senior forummers na makatulong sa atin sa pag interpret dun sa link na bigay ko. :)

    For state nominations lang pala yun mag affect. anyway, try to get high IELTS results nalang para di na kailangan state sponsorship for those affected. :)

    Ang mabigat talaga is yung visa fee, lalo kung may dependents hehe. Kaya as soon as pwede na kayo to make the next move, do it! hehe Mahirap maabutan ng changes, tapos mag eelections pa this september baka magkaroon na naman ng major changes sa immigration policies. Good luck sa ating lahat hehe :)

    @raiden14 kung hindi naman po naka freeze yung occupation ninyo, try niyo nalang po to do your best na makapag pasa na kaagad ng requirements for state sponsorship. :) Review lang po ng maigi para sa IELTS and malaking tulong po ang prayers. :)

    ganyan po talaga, halos lahat po ng nagmimigrate ay may ma encounter pong bumps along the way, nakakafrustrate, nakaksubok pero kung yun po talaga ang goal ninyo, do your best to achieve it. :)
