Hmm around 45 to 50K AUD ata, dalawa din kami ni husband. Estimate lang namin yun, kasama na if we'll be selling our car, appliances, etc. I even added yung last pay namin kung magreresign kami. Ganun na din gawin mo. Add mo yung mga tingin mo na maliliquidate or makukuha mo na money.

hi Ms @JClem tanong q lng po kc nagsisimula na din aq mag fill up ng visa form (for subclass 175), if u don't mind pahingi naman ng idea kung magkano nilagai mo dun sa item na how much money u intend to bring? di ko kc alam kung ilan dapat. dalawa lng kami ng fiancee q na kasama sa application. Maraming salamat. God Bless.

Hi Unanimous,

As far as I can remember, wala pang 175 visa applicant na hiningian ng bank account. Yun ang advantage natin, walang required show money. Basta we have enough funds na gagamitin hangan sa makahanap ng job.

As for the online application, ang naalala ko is may part na itatanong sayo if sasama mo partner mo sa application.

Yung sa IELTS result mo, better call BC Sri Lanka to ask or baka in-transit nawala yung result. Do you have the tracking number? Tingin ko naman di na sya tatagal ng another 16 weeks kung yun na lang wait ng EA. Pag nareceive na nila yun, verification na lang that you meet their english language requirements. By the way, ano course mo? Sa EA din kasi ko as IE.

Tanong-tanong ka lang dito. You can also PM me. Walang problema. God bless sa application mo!

Hi Ms. @JClem Civil Engineer po aq and currently working abroad. this morning i got a mail from Engineers Australia stating that they have already received the IELTS TR and is able to finish the assessment by today (fingers crossed na positive ang reply). saang part kau ng australia nagpaplano po na mag stay? panu po kita i-PPM? i think PM is much better mas makaka hingi aq ng advice ng maayos,hehe.

salamat po.

JClem

I sent you a PM last time. Reply ka lang dun with your questions. Gusto sana namin sa Melbourne or Adelaide.

hi Ms JClem, hindi q po alam qng saan q matatagpuan ung PM dito. tsineck q ung inbox wala ding message. haha. di lang talaga ata aq masyado marunong. anyway, i got my skills assessment and luckily i passed the level 1 assessment and sabi sa letter from EA, my education is broadly comparable to Australian Bachelors Degree. So it seems di na aq magtutuloy ng state sponsorship kc kaya na din naman ng points q: saktong 65 points aq kht walang state sponsorship. pero pinag iisipan q pa din and just in case gusto q sa perth kc mura lng daw dun ang cost of living. uu, aq din gusto q din sana sa melbourne kaso sa simula it seems masyadong mahal ata cost of living dun. i dont know much. also my other concern, kc ung fiancee q is undergrad so she needs to take the exam for us to get rid of the 2nd payment. do u think its a right move to lodge our visa and then i-follow na lng ung ielts result nia? kaso baka me time limit lng pagsubmit nun. auq naman xa i-pressure kasi baka di kayanin kaya tinitimpla q lng ung pagmomotivate. all set na sana, pati documents q kumpleto na, pati pambayad, un na lng na ielts nia. sabi q, u still have until april. advice po. thanks a lot and God bless!

JClem

Tama ka Loki! Bumibilis nga. And I assume based sa trend, parang every 2 weeks, one month ang napoprocess nila na visa applicants.

Laki ng inimprove Parang 6 months na lang ang gap between processing time at application time

onesilvertwo

wow! ang bilis na ng processing. I wonder kung may break sila sa December for Christmas. I mean do they usually have long Christmas breaks?

JClem

Hehe, ok lang na maglong break sila ng Christmas pero sana dagdagan nila pinaprocess nila na applications. Gawin 2 months or more. Hahaha!

wow! ang bilis na ng processing. I wonder kung may break sila sa December for Christmas. I mean do they usually have long Christmas breaks?

onesilvertwo

@JClem ayoko sana na magpahinga sila. hahahaha! pero gaya ng sabi mo, basta dapat pag balik nila, mas madami pa sila maprocess. June kayo naglodge diba? So Dec 2011 or Jan 2012 dapat may CO ka na, bsta 2 months worth of application ang process nila in a month . lapit na iyan.

LokiJr

In fairness to the Immigration, mukhang matutupad nila yung plano nilang minimal lead time sa online application kasi malaking pagbabago yung 2012 immigration policy :-S

JClem

Wala pang new update si DIAC. Hmm ano na kayang date pinaprocess nila? 8->

onesilvertwo

@JClem, binasa ko agad nung nag comment ka, akala ko may bagong update. hahaha! di bale, mga 1st week of december siguro may update na. from there we can see if it has improved.

JClem

@onesilvertwo, every 2 weeks ng Friday naguupdate si DIAC. Last is Nov. 4, so ngayon 18 dapat meron na. Next is Dec. 2, Dec. 16 and so on. Hehe! Nilista ko pa talaga with an estimated date allocated. Pero malamang sa Monday na nila i-publish yun sa website nila

Pwede ka mag-estimate. Assuming every 2 weeks is one month of application. Tas if Oct ka nagsubmit, baka by Feb pinaprocess na sayo. Pero I'll pray na mas maaga pa.

onesilvertwo

@JClem, salamat!

ah ganoon pala ang update. every 2 weeks. ok din, para medyo di tayo naiinip. haha! gumawa din ako ng table, haha! assuming 2 months worth of apps per month, october will be processed by feb or march. edi ikaw pala malapit na. wow! Parang dec pala o january ikaw na ang sasalang. Good luck sa atin. God bless.

@JClem, thanks for the update! don't worry, april na din iyan soon. yeah, less expectation would be better. di bale, malapit na din apps niyo... Let's just patiently wait and attract positive thoughts that our application will go through. haha!

I think for May and June mas mataas ang volume ng apps dahil sa mga naghabol sa July 1, 2011 changes.

aldousnow

I just wanna share.. i lodged my application (subclass 176) online last march 13 2011. nag email si case officer last nov 8 2011 na nag request ng medical and police clearance. baka lang magka idea kayo sa timeline pa because of that.

JClem

Thank you, @onesilvertwo! Yup naisip ko na din na as the months approached the July 1, 2011 changes, mas madaming applicants silang pina-process. Tama, antay-antay lang tayo. Great things come to those who wait and pray.

@aldous, congratulations! I'm sure visa grant ka na nyan.

aldousnow

@JClem kakamedical ko lang last saturday (nov 19) and 10 days pa daw result. tapos yung NBI clearance ko naman sa nov 28 ko pa makuha. na hit kasi ako. sana nga by december ma approve na. ayaw ko maging complacent.. though talagang nag eexpect na ko. hehehe. I know all of us will be there at oz.. soon.

JClem

@aldousnow, I'm very, very sure you'll have a very merry Christmas! God bless! Balitaan mo kami.

LokiJr

8 months lead time isn't so bad

Looking forward to seeing DIAC attending to April applications by next month
