May 2016 - VISA 189/190/489

elleb1

@don_andres congrats pala sa visa grant! Enjoy kami sa IE kc pasyal2x pa kmi sa Sydney wla pa pressure to find a job. First thing na inasikaso namin e yung verification sa bank para makuha yung atm namin. Before kami nag punta nag open na kami ng migrant account sa Commonwealth Bank of Australia then nka transfer na rin kami ng money dun through i_Remit sa Manila. Tapos nag apply na kami ng Tax File Number online at pina deliver lng namin yung card sa address ng college classmate ng husband ko . After 1 week andun na kala kc namin mga 28 days pa bago makuha yun pala mabilis lng. We tried to apply for medicare kaso ang advise samin e sa big move na daw kc mag 1 year na yung visa grant namin though hindi ko masyado na gets bakit mas favorable pag balik na. Sabi lng samin e kung me medical expenses keep the receipt and reimburse later. Kayo kelan ang big move? Which state do you plan to stay?

Hi guys! Thanks for your messages.

Tip ko lang para mabilis matawagan, tanggalin nyo ang address ng work exp nyo sa pinas sa resume kasi yung iba finifilter agad pag alam na overseas experience. chaka nyo na lang sabihin pag sa interview na. ganon ginawa ko. today, may another 2 interviews ako

my wife got her full drivers license na agad kasi may license sya sa US. may work na din sya as pharmacy assistant (teacher sya sa atin). temporary lang pra di mabore habang waiting sya ng cert from ACECQA.

thats it for now, good luck and God bless sa atin!

@mgfg, flat type ba yang house nyo, o yong may backyard. TIA sa reply po. God bless sa job hunt Bro.

mgfg

@elleb1 If I remember it correctly, wala naman disclosure ng bank savings..Ang haba kasi ng application and nalito ako sagutan kaya di ko matandaan. Hehe

mgfg

@ms.dee_celestiel Okay naman, we are doing well! It's our third month here and we our enjoying quality time with our toddler Sabi nga ng wife ko eto na ang pinaka meaningful na vacation namin (while still looking for a job). Very exciting kasi sama sama kami sa lahat - house hunting, household chores, playtime, discovering places and experiencing the culture, etc. I'm sure sobrang mami-miss ko ang time na to pag nagstart na magwork.

Family and rent assistance yung 225 na nakukuha namin. Tapos may child care pa once magschool na anak namin.

By the way, may FB page called "pre-loved dubai" Dito kami nagpost ng mga items na binenta namin. Post ka lang, dami magcontact sayo

mgfg

@Megger flat yung samin, with a dedicated car space..

@ms.dee_celestiel , lapit na ng big move! Saang state plano nyo mag stay?
Dubai din pala kayo. Halos pareho concern natin, contract sa bahay and pag dispose ng mga gamit. Hehehe.

elleb1

@ms.dee_celestiel ganyan din ang concern namin ngayon pag dispose ng mga gamit. Probably by Aug-Sept c hubby mag big move then sunod nalang kami pag me work na cya. God bless and hope that someday we can meet all in Sydney:)

@elleb1 sa Carlton parin ako, medyo may topak yung GPS ng potable wifi ko. doing some casual job at the moment while admiring Sydney. Ikaw? kamusta? balita sa inyo?

elleb1

@goaldrin13 kala ko nag transfer ka na. We are done with our IE then by Aug-Sept balak ng husband ko mauna to look for job na. To follow nlang kami ng anak ko pag me work na hopefully 1st quarter of 2018. Magkano rent mo per week? travel time to cbd? ilang minutes to train station?

goaldrin13

@elleb1 nope, since nagmove ako sa Carlton na ako nakastay.
Patapos na ng winter ang Aug-Sept, pero malamig parin.
October 2016 ako nag big move dito sa Sydney, knowing na spring na yun, malamig parin.
Sa Sydney nyo din ba balak?
I am paying $220 per week including everything.
travel time to CBD, less than 30 mins lang.

elleb1

@goaldrin13 oo sa Sydney din namin balak. Since mauna c hubby kelangan nya ng room. Message kita ulit by that time kung sakaling me vacant sa tinitirhan mo. Yung 220 e sarili mo yung room and toilet? Thank you and God bless!

goaldrin13

@elleb1 sariling room pero common toilet. let me know para ma advise ko si tita mary ha kung meron vacant sa bahay.
