Im planning to lodge my application Feb or March next year. As of now, I am preparing for IELTS on October. Anyone else planning to apply for Visa 476? Let's help each other out.

@ghypez Hi ghypez. Are you on 476? Do you ideas on the job market for Visa 476 holders? Thanks.

ghypez

Yep.

IELTS Exam - October 2012 then you will lodge your application on February pa? parang ang tagal naman ata nun. Hehe. I am guessing that you are a BSIE 06. Job market? There are many job here for engineers. Do not expect to get a job/role that is similar to your job/role in the Philippines kaagad. Swerte mo na kung makakuha ka nga. Hehe. Estimation(QS), drafting, design, and production jobs marami. Sa I.T. jobs for IE, next month ko pa masasabi sa iyo.

Hi guys. I'm planning to apply for Visa 476 early next year. Batch 2011 ako. Good thing may ganitong forum. To take IELTS on October. Sana makakuha ng decent results. haha.

Fight!

@ghypez, hehe mautak yun a...magmasteral sa U.P. that's a good investment! Akala ko dati dapat ang undergrad kelangan U.P. din e hehe...yun pala hindi kailangan so mas marami makikinabang nito

ghypez

pero dapat ata <32 or 30.. not so sure about the age. meron din age limit. Pagkagrad mo ng engg sa mapua or sa ibang school, mag masteral na kagad. hehe. weekend. sakto 3-4 years un, more than 3 years na din exp mo sa work for sure. Boom. 476 ka na, may 3 years exp pa. Sarap.

ghypez

@iammaxwell1989: post ka lang dito sa discussion na to. We'll try to help if ever.

LokiJr

Ahh may age limit...ok tama, naalala ko na hehe.

To think 5 years ang engineering course so dapat mag-masteral kaagad sa U.P. hehe

ghypez

full time sa masters, 2 years. kpag weekends lang. 4 years. Say, grad ka ng 21 years old. Nag review ng board, nag exam, naghintay ng work, 22 ka na.. +4 years masters, 26.. apply visa, +1 year, 27 ka na.. Pasok pa din. hehe. kahit mag grad ka ng 24 years old. kaya pa rin.

lock_code2004

that is exactly what i did.. completed engineering degree at age 21.
after 1 year, I enrolled in UP for part-time MS Engineering for 5 years (age 27).. by that time meron na akong 6 years work experience..

except that, i dont know about this visa before.. so naglapse na ang 2-year gap from graduation...
hahah...

so my point is.. this is doable.. un lang po.. bow..

ghypez

Hehe. Kala ko nababaliw lang ako. Ayan. May nakagwa na pala.

Hi guys.

I will apply for Visa 476 by January next year. I'm planning to include my girlfriend as a de facto partner.

Quoting immi.au, "If you or any applicants are in a de facto relationship, independent evidence that you have been living in a genuine and continuing relationship for at least 12 months" must be presented.

What are the accepted independent evidences? As of now we have a joint a bank account and a notarized contract for the house we're renting. Would that suffice? Anyone here have the same case as I am? Thanks.

@iammaxwell1989 hindi ko na sasagutin to.. hahaha...

iammaxwell1989

Lock_code2004,

Thanks man. )
Kailangan pala maghalungkat na ng mga pictures. haha.

lock_code2004

mas maganda kung ksama nyo sa pictures ung magbibigay ng personal statement...
example ung bespren nyo... or mas maganda family members..

@ghypez I want to delay the application lodging para more time mag ipon ng pera at experience. Im anticipating 3-7 months visa processing, and in the event na maapprove (fingers crossed), 2-5 months allowance before I need to leave for Au. Ang worry ko kasi baka irequire agad na umalis. haha.

EE po ako.

@iammaxwell1989
It took DIAC less than 3 months to process and approve my 476 visa. I just don't know about your case since you are including a de facto partner in your application, it might take longer.

Usually you will be given at least 8-10 months before your entry deadline expires. In my case, my visa got approved january 2012 and IED is dec 30 2012, almost one year for the entry date.

Cheers!

lock_code2004

normally ang IED is based on your nbi clearance and medical results date..
it is valid for 1 year.... kaya you have ample time to prepare for your move to AU..

meron nabibigyan ng IED na 6 mos after their nbi/medical clearance date, eto un may mga possible health risks pero acceptable nmn...

iammaxwell1989

@vinpack More or less I have a year to prepare after I lodge my application. At least I have time to apply for a job in Au while I'm in the Phil and preparing.

@lock_code2004 Thanks. Bakit shorter and IED ng may mga possible health risks?

Just to confirm, the 18 months period starts at the time of departure, right?

Salamat mga boss.

ghypez

@iammaxwell1989: "...from first entry date of the primary applicant"

iammaxwell1989

Hehe. Copy. Christmas pictures siguro.

Yung lodging saka ko na poproblemahin after ma grant visa. :-))

iammaxwell1989

@lock_code2004 Thank you ng madami boss.
