    OZwaldCobblepot ung ibang nabasa ko sir kasama ng grant letter nya ung form 815, ung isa hours after masubmit me grant na.. ung kabatch ko sa January kinabukasan after masubmit meron na.. granted sya last week.. siguro depe depende sa CO.. I will surely keep everybody posted :)
    nung sinend ko ung 815 via e-mail, i highlighted that i have 4 month old baby in the application, and to please process the visa asap, so we can carefully plan on how to migrate with baby. siguro nakatulong yung request ko sa CO, para asikasuhin nya agad ung visa. hope this helps.

    Wow! Ganyan nga rin ang gagawin ko kapag nag request si CO ng Form 815 sa akin. Challenging ang 3 kids and 1 is currently 8 months old.

    Kaya pala the next day may visa grant kaagad.

    Yes... magpakabusy sa ibang bagay hahahaha... naisip namin ni hubby once nasa Au na kami wala ng yaya to take care of the kids while we're away kaya ito taking advantage of the chance na makatravel. Also once we do the big move everytime we travel with the 3 kiddos na 8-}

    @gelotronic naisip ko lang ngayon, Hindi kaya dahil you have 75 points on your EOI kaya you were given priority for visa grant?

    Hello guys, from October 2015 batch ako, but I have been hear sa AU n for 1yr eto yumg suggestion k tipid tips:

    Shopping

    cheap, medium quality products (cloths, cutleries, household goods and appliances, some furnitures, beddings etc)

    kmart
    bigw
    reject shop
    dollar king
    target
    Ikea

    those bound for melbourne especially for the first few months n job hunting you might consider getting a month myki pass at 135aud unlimited access to train/tram/bus.

    Budget your transpo cost at 7.52 per day. Yan ang maximum amount n pwede icharge sayo per day. if n reach m n yan unli pass k n..basta make sure you touch on as board and touch off as you leave, if nahuli k nang inspectors 75aud first offense ang fine, then 235aud n ang sunod. (MELBOURNE ONLY)

    As for food (Palengke)

    Eastern suburn BOXHILL is the best! parang mini hong kong..daming chinese!
    South East Suburbs OAKLEIGH and or SPRINGVALE is best..
    Western suburb Footscray market

    Convenience stores:

    Coles.com.au ( free delivery every wednesday for 100aud shopping) ok n if family hindi p hirap mag bit2x..or shop every forthnight

    be sure to get a flybuys loyalty card!

    woolworths.com.au (Get loyalty card)
    aldi.com.au

    Shopping dito is walang tingi2x always in kilo/liter..meron naman small amounts pero sobrang lugi k kasi ang difference is 1au
    so always bulk.

    Costco is also good pero may membership, not recommended if wala k car to carry your goods kasi wholesale/bulk buying only

    Places: (FREE)

    National Gallery of Victoria(NGV)
    ngv.vic.gov.au

    Australian centre of moving image
    acmi.net.au

    Shrine of Remebrance

    galing! salamat ng marami dito. by the way, since 1 year ka na andiyan, would you know of cases na nag initial entry lang muna, tapos bumalik to settle for things, and then afterwards ang big move?

    takot ko kasi, baka pag nakita ng immigration officer ung air ticket itinerary tapos may round trip flight back after some days, baka di payagan ma activate ang PR visa / status.
    Hello guys, from October 2015 batch ako, but I have been hear sa AU n for 1yr eto yumg suggestion k tipid tips:

    Shopping

    cheap, medium quality products (cloths, cutleries, household goods and appliances, some furnitures, beddings etc)

    kmart
    bigw
    reject shop
    dollar king
    target
    Ikea

    those bound for melbourne especially for the first few months n job hunting you might consider getting a month myki pass at 135aud unlimited access to train/tram/bus.

    Budget your transpo cost at 7.52 per day. Yan ang maximum amount n pwede icharge sayo per day. if n reach m n yan unli pass k n..basta make sure you touch on as board and touch off as you leave, if nahuli k nang inspectors 75aud first offense ang fine, then 235aud n ang sunod. (MELBOURNE ONLY)

    As for food (Palengke)

    Eastern suburn BOXHILL is the best! parang mini hong kong..daming chinese!
    South East Suburbs OAKLEIGH and or SPRINGVALE is best..
    Western suburb Footscray market

    Convenience stores:

    Coles.com.au ( free delivery every wednesday for 100aud shopping) ok n if family hindi p hirap mag bit2x..or shop every forthnight

    be sure to get a flybuys loyalty card!

    woolworths.com.au (Get loyalty card)
    aldi.com.au

    Shopping dito is walang tingi2x always in kilo/liter..meron naman small amounts pero sobrang lugi k kasi ang difference is 1au
    so always bulk.

    Costco is also good pero may membership, not recommended if wala k car to carry your goods kasi wholesale/bulk buying only

    Places: (FREE)

    National Gallery of Victoria(NGV)
    ngv.vic.gov.au

    Australian centre of moving image
    acmi.net.au

    Shrine of Remebrance
    shrine.org.au

    Royal Botanical Gardens besides shrine of remembrance

    State Library of Victoria
    slv.vic.gov.au

    Public Transport Apps

    Moovit (Best personal experience tried and tested)

    PTV app ( Government app, ok n rin for announcement if meron disruptions)

    If meron p keo other questions just shoot me an email...
