@donking
I tried contacting my agent first kasi baka may alam sila dito. they just told me to print the page in DIAC website that states the provisions of the 176 visa.
And it clearly states that:
"This visa allows you and any secondary applicants included in your visa application to live as permanent residents in Australia."
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/176/
I think i'll just print this first and go back to Pag-Ibig. If they still won't agree with me that would be another story.

@LittleBoyBlue, puwede ka naman maghulog uli anytime...yung disadvantage lang talaga ng pagkuha ng pera kaagad e mawawala yung tax effectiveness ng naipon mo sa Pag-ibig..ika nga don't kill the goose that lays the eggs hehe
@rbolante yeah makes perfect sense naman yung punto mo hehe...ako kasi balak ko gamitin yung pag-ibig benefits para bumili ng lupa sa Pinas (in the future) Kung mapapansin mo sa Australia, a lot of them Aussies are into property investing at para satin sa Pinas, Pag-ibig na yung pinaka convenient na paraan hehe

@skyline talaga ngang nagsisinungaling ung kausap ko na bossing nila. kasi sinabi ko parang imposibleng ako pa lang ang unang nag-file ng claim na wala nang visa label. tsk tsk.. gobyerno talaga. they are one of the reasons why people migrate to other countries. nawawalan na tyo ng pag-asa dito.
