    @janinlee Hi Janin,

    I agree with your sentiment. Marami pa nga mga kapatid natin na mga nurses ang gustong makarating dito sa OZ...Swerte yong friend ko na nurse sa Wagga wagga siya a regional area in NSW four hour drive from Sydney. After 3 months sa kanyang 457 sponsor na siya ng employer na siya at just last week na ok na ang PR niya....good for him..he can be one of our success stories....pray harder

So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea!

    Guys may tanong sa defacto relationship pwede bang late sya iaaply kasi nung nagapply ako dito wala ako nilagay dun, pero parang gusto ko sya pasunurin dito.
    Yes you can apply for depedent family member to join you. In your case na de facto relationship, dapat ma-prove mo na genuine yng relationship nyo. Iba kasi yun kung married naman kayo; iba madaming requirements yung de facto. Ako ang gagawin ko, papakasal kami ni Bf next year, pag-uwi ko sa Phils, tapos pagbalik ko dito, fill-up lang ng Nomination of student dependant at submit sa DIBP. Advice yan ng immigration lawyer ko.

    Hi guys! Approved na visa ko 1 week after my medical. Thank you Lord! I have a question though, esp dun sa mga magtatake ng nursing.

    Pano ginawa nyo dun sa immunisations required for placement? Ang problema ko pa, lahat ng immunisation records ko nung bata ako like DPT, MMR, wala na.

    Thanks!!!

    @SolemateD Hi there! You can bring all your immunization record pagpunta mo dito sa OZ. Kaso you still need to take the adult doses for clinical placement. Ako kasi nag iipon pa ng pera for these. Dito nako sa university clinic magpapa immunize kasi mas mura. Hindi sya sagot ng health cover natin kaya you need AUD300-500 for all of the required immunizations. Cheers.
