    @nadine - ayan oh.. special mention kayo:
    http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/medical-practitioners/

    anyway. mahabang kwento.. to make it short, working visa lang po dito.. hehe..
    mahirap nmn magka-green card, unless sponsor ng company, at sobrang tagal pa ng processing.. bow!
    I see... Naitanong ko na rin yan dito sa forum dati and ganun din yung sagot niya. Tungkol din sa green card. Naisip ko lang po kasi I had this dilemma a few years back eh, US vs Oz. But as it turned out, I'm here. :)

    Thanks po for the link.
