why people are so fussy about 489...

Au_Vic

@jomar011888 best of luck mate! you will not go wrong with Melbourne, very nice city to live in.

Au_Vic

@arishiel no worries! congrats ulet! I know kung ganu ka-gusto ng mga kababayan natin ng magandang opportunity kaya I'm happy to see determined people getting closer to their dream...

At least now approved ka na, ung ipa-plano mo na lang is yung big move sa oz..Hope you are excited to come to oz-land..

Au_Vic

@cacophony nope, walang issue dun. For sure, hindi lang ikaw ang naguupdate ng EOI at hindi lang din mga pilipino ang keen to get the opportunity here kaya don't worry too much :-)

DIBP, wala nmn sila issue kung ilang EOI ka, as long as you can support your claims sa EOI once na-invite ka then that's it.

Yung 489 mo, would that be SS or Relative sponsor? what is your nominated occupation? also, why victoria? kc baka may ibang state na mas mabilis na pwede mo i-try

Au_Vic

@malt no worries! best of luck sa inyo

Hunter_08

@arishiel no worries mate.. congrats again sa DG..

@Au_Vic thanks sa pag sagot... medyo naiintindihan ko na pero need more research about that..

Hello po sa inyo, been reading this thread all along.. Ask ko lang po kung may chance po ba na mareject ang visa? Waiting na lng po kase ako under subclass 489 sa QLD ng visa grant. Subsequently, nka receive po ako ng invite for 190 today sa NSW kya medyo naguguluhan ako magdecide. Any advice po? Tks

Au_Vic

@rjb_08 yes, there is a possibility that visa application may be rejected by DIBP due to various reasons such as serious medical issues, inconsistent/fraudulent documents, not meeting the required points or incorrect points, misrepresentation, etc.

bkt ka naguguluhan? is it because you got an invite for 190 and you already lodged 489?

you can withdraw your 489 visa application if you like anytime prior to grant BUT you may not be able to refund your visa payment fee.

rjb_08

@Au_Vic Hello po, tks po sa pag answer sa query. Basically ndi ko po kase alam kung iproceed ko yung 190 ko.. may implication po ba yun kapag nagproceed ako sa magiging result ng 489? Pwede po ba mareject yun kung malaman nila na nagsusubmit p dn ako for other subclass? Yung 489 ko po kase ay submitted by my agent at yung 190 ko po ay DIY ko lng po. Medyo conscious po ako baka may implication either way eh. Can u advise po? Tks

Hunter_08

@rjb_08 walang impact yung invite ng NSW sayo for 190 visa sa on-going 489 visa mo.. hindi mo pa din naman napapasa yung online application mo sa NSW.

Au_Vic

@rjb_08 nope.walang kinalaman ung 190 invite na natanggap mo sa processing ng 489. don't worry.

rjb_08

@Hunter_08 eh pano kaya kung i-proceed ko yung sa NSW for nomination? makaka affect kaya yun sa approval nung 489 namin sa QLD?

Hunter_08

@rjb_08 you mean e wiwithdraw mo yung 489 visa mo? I am not sure pero sa tingin ko hindi naman. kung wala ka pa din naman CO contact at wala din naman false information sa application mo.. yun nga lang sayang yung binayad mo sa 489 visa kasi most likely hindi na nila ibabalik yun.

cacophony

@Au_Vic It would be SS po. VIC kasi andun po yung former office mates ko working on our competitors so finding a job would be a breeze. Mechanical engineer po occupation ko. I'll search for other states too. Napansin ko kahapon South Australia needs at least 80 points tama po ba?

lccnsrsnn

@rjb_08 Wait, what? Nagbayad ka ng at least 3670 AUD (if single ka) for the visa tapos nagdadalawang isip ka? Hindi mo na mababawi yun. You’ll waste 150 thousand pesos. Visa ba yan or invitation lang?

AIR

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng ngAnswer ng queries rin natin @arishiel You deserve it mate Ang bilis mo nga nkapaglodge eh.. naunahan mo pa nga ako. happy for you sis hopefully susunod na kami na maDG hehe kitakitz sa SA God bless sa BM.

Au_Vic

@rjb_08 i responded to your direct message sa akin regarding sa tanong mo

Au_Vic

@cacophony yes, high points (80) ang required for your occupation sa SA.

Please note that in Victoria, applications for engineering and building occupations will be temporarily closed from 16 October 2017 to 12 January 2018. Applicants who hold an offer of employment in Victoria in their nominated occupation or meet the streamlined PhD or 457 pathways are not affected by the closure

cacophony

@Au_Vic Yup. I've read this one too. Nabasa ko nga rin po na kailangan ng job offer before applying sa 489 visa. Guess this one's off my list. Will look po sa NSW, WA and QLD this weekend

Au_Vic

@cacophony or try to get a superior score in english test to pump up your score.

malt

@Au_Vic pano po yung nagpasa sa Vic ng September? Maaapektohan po kaya sila ng temporary closure?

Au_Vic

@malt good question it depends. it can be interpreted in many ways either they will stop processing of all unprocessed engineering and building occupations or they will only process applications submitted/received by them up to 15-October and beyond that will be put on hold.

I believe it will be the latter pero who knows. My guess isang reason kung bkt sila nag pause kasi malamang madami silang backlog ng unprocessed applications in those occupations or they may change the criteria for SS.

Hello, question lang po if na approve ng visa 489. Kelan po magsstart ang counting ng 4 years? It is when the approve the visa or once pagdating nyo sa South Australia? We are applying sa SA po for visa 489. Thank you.

Hunter_08

@Knighterrant132 sa first entry nyo sa Au once na approved na yung visa.

Hi all, ngaun ko lang nakita itong thread na ito, napadaan lang. If I may share lang experience ko sa 489 din, ang profession ko kasi di naman super in demand sa au so nag apply ako ng 489 and got my approval last year. Now nandito na ako sa NT and working in a big construction company. Before I started to work (hired from Pinas) hiningi lang copy ng visa grant ko. That’s it, dito wala naman kaso anong visa mo, infact most of them doesn’t even know what is our visa. HEHE I had to explain pa. hindi naman sya tinatanong, ung mga pinoy lang nakakausap ko dito, kasi nag tatanong din ako pano sila nag pr etc most came from 457 then got their pr and citizen na kaya wala nakakaalam ng sa visa ntin.

Anyway, do I need to inform anyone like immi.gov na nandito na ako and im working na? I diddnt check this yet with my agent, but if anyone can help to enlighten me please. Forward thinking and action lang kasi mabilis lang ang 2 years na yan.

BTW ok naman sa nt, if continuing ang work ko dito walang reason para umalis. laid back and quiet. Work wise so far ok din naman. Nasa construction field kami and super multi-racial. May kinuha ako personal insurance (BUPA). Hindi naman ako nahihirapan with regards sa visa and work wise, so sa mga nag aalala wala po kayong dapat ikatakot na tanggapin ang 489 eventually magiging pr din tayo.
