    @hardtohandle

    Thanks sa share. Buti nga ikaw kht papano nkpgseminar kht walang sticker. I went to CFO office last March 17 lang and pagpasok pa lang sa information, cnb n skn n ung dependant type n visa n hawak ko daw ay hnd n kailangang umattend ng seminar nila to get the sticker. Same lng dn cnb na alam n daw ng immigration sa naia. So i went out of the office nanghihinayang sa pagod sa byahe, from bulacan pa kasi ako. Hehehe. Pero i went back again to clarify from information desk ulit, baka kasi naguluhan lang sya. And ganun pa din sinabi nya. I also ask him if may kailangan pa din aqng gwin sa POEA and he told me wala na din daw. Basta dumerecho na lang daw aq sa airport. Actually, paranoid lng cgro aq. Mhrap n kc pgdting mo sa airport may dapat p plang gwin, eh mhrap umatras ang mahal ng ticket. And not sure kung maresched ang flight if that would happen. So, up until now, umaasa tlga aq d2 sa forum to gather informations.
    Btw, kelan ang alis mo? April 3 ako.

    @TasBurrfoot,

    hi sir. Sir, I've been reading a lot on this site regarding my concern on whether oks na ba na ung printed copy ng visa grant notice from email ng CO at passport ang hawak ko pagdaan ko sa immigration sa naia? dependent lang kasi ako ng partner ko na nagwowork na jan sa australia at pareho ng visa ng partner ko, 457 visa din bngay sakin - dependent type.

    nagwoworry tlga ako pagdaan ng immigration at hnd ako payagan makaalis.

    naiinis lang ako, ring lang ng ring ang hotline ng immigration sa naia. they never answer my call.

    @lester_lugtu okay na yung passport and copy ng visa grant notice. Yun lang din ang dinala ng wife and daughter ko pagpunta nila dito. 457 visa holder din ako and dependent ko sila. Nauna rin ako pumunta dito. Wag ka magworry. Yun lang naman ang tiningnan sa immigration. Ginawa ko, nagemail din ako ng copy ng owwa certificate. Pero di na naman hinanap kasi maliwanag naman sa visa grant notice mo na dependent ka.

    17 Aug 2013 457 visa approved

    @epiboy,

    salamat sa info sir. if ever maghanap sila ng owwa cert from my partner wala ako maibibigay. kasi ung 457 visa ng partner ko dun nya na inapply sa aussie. from student visa to 457 visa. kaya actually undocumented sya d2 sa pinas. pero lumakas loob ko sir sa sinabi mo. maraming salamat ne. almost everyday inoopen ko tong forum nato, hehehe. thank you.

    @TasBurrfoot, hehe if pwede lang ipakain sa kanila (just in case). Duda lang talaga kasi ako baka case of he said-she said ng magkaibang agencies eh. Yun ang worry but since may mga provisional visa na nakaalis na without CFO sticker, it should be ok for us as well.

    @diyosa0107,

    I think meron tlgang culture differences kada lahi, we need to accept na hnd ntn mkkta ang ugaling pinoy s mga aussie. And that is 1 thing true. Hanggang ngaun nhhrpan pdn aq mksalamuha s knla lalo na mgsalita ng english, pero alam ko na lahat ng nameet ko sy naging mababait skn. Hnhnap q ung cnsb nilang racial discrimination, pero wla tlga. Tingin ko isang standard ng 1 mataas na pamumuhay eh ung hnd gaano pagiisip sa mga nangyayari s paligid. Gnyan nkkta q s mga australiano d2,

    @diyosa0107,

    Pagdating naman sa cost of living, pag aralan mo mabuti ssbhin ko.

    Sa manila, ang minimum wage ngaun i think is 462php per day, tama?
    D2 sa melbourne, may kakilala akong nurse earning 25aud per hour. At ang sabi nya minimum na sahod na un ng nurse d2. So humigit kumulang 200aud per day ang sahod d2.

    200aud = 8000php ata more or less depende sa palitan.
    Malaki kung tutuusin kapag kinonvert sa php.
    Pero sbi nila mataas din nmn ang expenses d2. BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE!

    1st example,
    Ung malaking vaseline lotion d2 i think 600ml ata un. 12aud lng d2. Kalahating oras mo lang ttrabahuin d2 para mkbli ka nun d2. Pero i think ung 600ml jan humigit kumulang 500php na, almost 1day sahod mo na! See the difference?

    2nd example,
    Nung last time nagmall kami, i saw big tv. Malaki tlga! As in malaking malaki. LED na, smart tv pa. Sony ang brand. Ang price nya almost 1700aud. Thats almost 70,000php satin. Pero alam ko ung price ng ganung tv jan sa pilipinas worth almost 100,000 to 110,000 php, i know kc nagwork aq sa 1 dept store.
    Here's my point, hindi mo maiipon ang 70,000 jan sa pilipinas within 1 yr ng pgwowork, pero d2 mabibili mo ung tv na un sa loob lamang ng 1 kinsenas na sahod mo, isang lunok lang makukuha mo sya. Gets mo ba? Take note kinsenas hindi 1 month!

    Nakuha mo ba ung point ko?
    Ang point ko eh, sa pagcompare ng spending d2 at jan sa pilipinas, one should not convert aud to php. Ang dapat tgnan mo eh ung kakayahan ng hawak mong pera na bumili. Maybe mataas tlga cost of living d2 pero ung earnings ng mga tao d2 eh sumasabay dn. And to think of it, hnd nmn tlga gnun kataas ang bilihin d2 kung iisipin mo lang.

    Last example,
    Sushi. Hehehe. Favorite ko na to ngaun. 2aud lang to d2. Kung makakakita ako ng trbho at ang sahod ay 30aud per hour, madaming sushi na un sa isang araw!

    Un eh kung makakakita ako ng trbho hehehe, as of the moment 3weeks nako bukas d2 pero ni 1 wala pang 2mtwag n employer n inapplayan ko thru internet. Hehehe.

    Pero tyaga lang. Swerte ako may taong nsgssbi skn palagi na magtyaga lang ako, mapapansin din daw ako. D2, maganda ang buhay, pero dapat paghirapan mo tlga. At hnd dpat tau makuntento s kung ano lang ang nararapat satin. Dhl naniniwala ako n lahat ng tao pantay pantay, kaya pwde din tau umasenso.
