@rdr8 hello, I've read na CO has been allocated and you're just waiting for the final outcome of the application, hanggang ngayon po ba inaantay mo pa rin visa mo?

rdr8

luffy87

hello po... granted na rin po kame ng 489 visa sponsored ng South Aus.
Im planning to go on March and maybe stop in Melbourne for few weeks before going to SA. Is it allowed?
TIA

rdr8

@luffy87 hi! ma'am ako haha. Nope I'm from Laguna. Family sponsored ako, ikaw ba? Wala nag contact sayo na CO? Oct 17 ako naglodge

luffy87

@rdr8 Sorry about that, it should be Maam.

I'm also applying for family sponsored. Nag lodge ako last sept 25, although my CO has been allocated already last Jan 16, pero me dinagdag na requirement like NBI and AFP (Australian Police clearance). Na submit ko yong dalawa last Jan 30 lang, so sa ngayon inaantay ko pa ang result. Sana nga po positive ang outcome nung application ko.

rdr8

@luffy87 anong team ang CO mo? Pde mo sila icontact. Ask mo kung nareceive ba yung docs mo para icheck nila. Yung saken Oct 17 ako nag lodge, tapos nung ika 3rd month na ng application ko tumawag ako sa kanila tapos after 2-3 hours may CO na ako. Parang pag tumawag ka, parang follow up na rin yun. Baka natatabunan kasi yung application mo. Tawag ka kaso dapat patient ka, ako kasi 35 minutes before may sumagot saken

rdr8

@luffy87 bakit ka kinuhanan ng Police check ng Australia?

luffy87

@rdr8 My CO's team 23. Hmm I have my agent who's communicating with them. I told my agent to make an inquiry to immi pero sabi saken antay2 nlng daw ng two weeks before make an inquiry. I'll let my agent handle those things kaso parang nababagalan na ako sa kanila. D bale, mag tu two weeks na din naman this Friday so I'll ask them to inquire about application.

They asked for Australian Police Clearance coz I studied in Aus for two years and umuwi ako pinas before my visa expired. At that time also, pwede naman sana mag apply nung graduate visa but it was too late to apply for that visa kasi the result of my skill assessment ay d pa na release and pa expire na ung visa ko. So uwi nlng muna dito sa pinas at dito na nag apply.

rdr8

@luffy87 anong profession mo pala? Ah ok, ganun ata talaga pag may agent e. yup, tell your agent to cal them. Yung iba kasi nababasa ko, pagka pass ng required docs, the following day may reply na. Depende rin naman sa CO, yung iba mabilis yung iba mabagal e.

luffy87

@rdr8 visa granted today maam! I'm so happy. Hehe

My profession is Computer Network and Systems Engineer.

Btw, for us 489 visa holders, required ba satin yung pdos(pre-departure orientation seminar)? Ikaw po ba maam has already attended the seminar?

I'm planning po sana to travel next weekend nah kaso prang nag aalangAn po magpa book ng flight baka kasi need pa yong PDOS and d pa ako nakapag attend nun.

Thank you po.

rdr8

luffy87

Hi! Meron po ba dito papunta Queensland? 489 din po ako granted last January. Booked flight to Sydney this coming May. Will stay there for 2 weeks or so then proceed to Queensland.

@luffy87 Hi! Question lang sana. I also have a 489 visa and they say the PDOS/CFO is not required. If so, what are the documents will immigration look for when leaving from the Philippines? can you share your experience? Thanks!

Anci

Hi! ask ko lang about 489 sponsored by relative gaano ba katagal ang processing? sa pagkakintindi ko po dapat nasa SOL din ang skilled nyo kapag 489 ang habol lang is 10points additional. Bakit po hindi 189 ang inaapply nyo? Anong reasons nyo po? Thanks!

FrenchMilk

based on the timelines, matagal po ba ma allocate ng CO? lodged my application last Mon.
