    Ah yes, sorry inde ko masyado niliwanag

    its 23kgs in 1 bag or combined

    Ang solusyon lang naman jan e bring an extra empty bag .. pag sinabing sobra lipat lipat sa ibang bag para ma satisfy lang yung weight limit

    Yep pwde cya as long as wala naman naka specify na condition sa visa grant notice mo. pero kami nanigurado before pumunta si hubby we emailed CO and tinanong talaga namin, kinonfirm naman nya na ok lng mauna secondary applicants.

    Kailangan pa rin ba ng CFO Sticker kahit nakapag-land ka na sa AU? Kasi we're thinking na dumerecho from Cayman to Au for landing then go back to Manila for few months bago finally magsettle sa AU. Do we still need to undergo PDOS? Or are we considered PR na kasi may tatak na ang passport namin?

    Sir, lester here. kaka-reciv ko lang ng visa grant notice ko last january as dependent ng partner ko. he is the primary 457 visa applicant and he is working na sa melbourne. mine too was also a 457 visa dependent type. ask ko lang sana sa may info kung ano pa need ko para hnd maharang sa immigration sa airport... mejo kinakabahan kasi ako baka maharang pa. all i have are the visa grant notice and passport. last time nagpunta ako ng philippine immigration, unfortunately nalungkot lang ako kasi hnd nila alam ang case ko. they gave me the number of immigration sa NAIA, pero many times ko tinawagan nagriring lang...:( nagpunta din ako sa CFO and nag-inquire kung need ko pa magPDOS. They told me na no need na daw dhl sa type ng visa ko. tinanong ko din sila dun kung need ko din bang magpunta ng POEA, sabi nila hindi na daw. pero until now hnd p tlga ako panatag kung wla ng magiging problem sa immigration.

    @lester_lugtu parang may naka mention naman dito na ang PR lang need kumuha ng CFO since the seminar is for filipinos with immigrant visa naman. check mo na rin dito sa site nila just http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php

    @lester_lugtu

    Kami visa 496 (Provisional Visa). Nagbayad ng CFO seminar, um-attend ng seminar. Pagkatapos ng seminar, kung kelan bigayan ng passport. Ayun sinabi, di kami needed mag-attend kasi nga di daw Permanent hehe. Sabi ko um-attend narin lang kami at nagbayad, lagyan na kami ng sticker but ni-refund nila para daw di magulo hehe.

    Weird lang kasi ang seminar is about moving out and settling in. We'll move out of the country and settle in Australia for at least 3 years. Tapos gusto nila kung kelan actually permanent resident na, saka a-attend ng seminar na napagdaanan mo na: ano bawal dalhin, ano dapat kuning (TFN, Medicare, etc).

    Sinama ko nlng ung PDOS form with their note na "refunded, not required to attend" sa flight tickets namin just in case hanapan bigla sa immigration. But sabi ng CFO, alam na daw sa immigration un. Let's see. We plan to be at the airport early baka mga 4hours cguro ahead of flight schedule para kung may issues man re CFO sticker. But sana wala.

    The fact that you have the above would make it okey na...

    Kung hahanapan ka talaga, ipakain mo yung note sa immigration official.
