    Hi, a UP graduate here. I was granted 456 visa 25days after my graduation last April2011. Kaso that was only for 3months. And now I'm here n ult s PH. I'm not an engineering graduate and tho i have received a lot of negative comments meant to make me lose hope, i will not give-up. I know all of the people in this forum have special reasons 4 all decisions we are taking. I too have a lot of reasons. I have received thousands of rejections frm companies i applied for. Maybe bec im still too young and too fresh but i want to prove all the people who brings me down that i have my own worth in my own ways. We can do this everyone! If there's a will and strong determination there will always be a way. I will not lose hope and I will always pray. :)</blockquote

    Kaya mo yan basta may determination and faith in GOD. Lahat naman na mga successful migrant dumaan muna sa pagsubok bago nila napag tagumpayan. Ang pinaka-importante sinubukan mo. Goodluck and GOD bless.

    @vinpack -san ka sa Oz?

    @chantelle Thanks. When are you required to leave for Oz?

    I think you could still include your bf as a de facto partner even if you did not live in together as long as you are able to prove the relationship. In your case however, the application of secondary applicant will be another process, which means you need to pay $300+ again. In my case sabay kaya isang bayad lang. What i'm preparing are:

    1. Statement of joint bank account
    2. House contract with deposit receipts
    3. pictures
    4. declarations from us
    5. declarations from relatives, friends, etc.

    EE ako, batch 2011. =)

    @adrielli hi! i just want to ask if the curriculum vitae that is requested for 476 visa must be notarized and be sent together with the employment certificates? if so, what should i do if i attached a CV i created. i thought at first it will be enough to just submit a created CV.

    @chantelle Actually di pa ko naglolodge, december pa. But almost complete na documents.
    My 'forecasted' timeline is:

    Dec 2012 : lodge application
    March 2013: Visa approval
    Jan 2014: Leave for Au

    That's about 1 year after I lodge my application.

    I'm considering perth or melbourne, most likely melbourne. I did some research and melbourne seems to be the best place for new migrants.

    Wala akong relatives sa Oz kaya medyo kabado. Kw ba? Sana madaming Pinoy sa Melbourne.

    Baka magtry ako magparemark. I inquired with BC just now. Remarking costs GBP60 (PhP 4000). If you get higher grades, the fee will be reimbursed. If not, say goodbye to your 4k.
    Good thing though, there is no chance of getting lower scores. =)

    good planning..
    you may also consider na merong allowance to make the entry..
    so kahit approved na ang visa mo ngaun, merong atleast 1 year enter AU..

    so my point is, check mo kung kelan ang 'optimal' date na mag-apply considering these 3 factors:
    - 2yr period after graduation
    - 1 year allowance to enter AU after visa is granted
    - and your 3 yrs na work experience.

    @Captain_A I reviewed on my own as I did not have the luxury of time and money to spend on review centers.

    Sa IELTS, time is your greatest friendnemy, so practice with timer. I remember sa writing test during the last 30 seconds ko lang sinulat yung conclusion ko. You will not have the time to count the words, so know how many words your 'typical' paragraph has. Sa speaking I dunno, swertehan siguro sa topic. Medyo off topic yata ito dito. hehe.

    Kung kaya niyo palang mag-apply sa visa na yan, do it as early as possible. Every July 1 of the year kasi nag-iimplement ng changes sa visa rules kaya malay natin next year ipphase out na nila tong visa...di natin masisigurado e hehe
