@ollie
once invited you have 2 months to pay for the visa and submit the requirements.
You can wait for the case officer to request you to have a medical.
processing time of 489 visa after payment takes 7-10 months
initial entry usually before your medical or police Cert expired.

Di ko makita yung original querry ni ollie, kasi ganun din sana tanong ko. I just got my ITA today, and I'm filling out this 18-page long na form dun sa immi account. Kelan ba isusubmit ang medical and police clearance? Issubmit ko muna ba tong visa application ko without the medical/police clearance, then wait for a case officer to specifically request for them? Or can I do them as early as now. Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind, nabasa ko na advisable daw kunin ang police clearance and medical around 45 days after mo magbayad ng visa.

@bob88 much better to take the medical before mag lodge ng visa para assurance for me. tapos yung police clearance pwede mo n kunin din agad once na may ITA ka na kasi for other countries medyo matagal yung process.

@Hunter_08

Hi, medyo naguguluhan kasi ako nang onti.

1) Dalawa kasi kelangan ko kunin na police clearance, one from SG and one from PH.
Yung PH madali lang kasi straightforward kasi typical NBI clearance lang.
Pero yung SG, base sa mga nabasa ko kelangan daw yung email from DIAC/ case officer. How can I get them to send me the email?

2) About sa medical, sinunod mo lang ba yung naka-state sa My Health Declaration sa Immi account mo?

Thanks!

Hunter_08

@bob88 galing din akong SG at once na may ITA ka na yun yung gagamitin mo para makapag request ka ng police clearance.

oo gagawa ka lang ng HAP ID para makapagpa medica l ka.

bob88

@Hunter_08

I see so yung invitation email na lang mismo ginamit mo. Sana maging smooth yung police clearance ko kasi di na ako based sa SG. Sa Pinas ko lang aasikasuhin so aasa na lang ako sa courier services para ipadala yung mga thumbprints, passport pics, etc.

Last question: Nabasa ko around 7-10 months yung processing. So pag naglodge ako ng visa with all requirements including police clearances and medicals, most likely magiging medyo tight yung Initial Entry Date ko kasi based yun sa date ng PCC/medical di ba?

batman

@bob88 3 to 4 months may result na

Hunter_08

@bob88 yes ITA lang pwede ka na mag request ng police clearance sa SG. mas okay kng mat kakilala ka dun para pakuha yung police clearance mo kasi matagal kapag papa mail mo pa.

wag kang magalala sa initial entry mo kasi kung sakaling malapit from sa grant mo pwede mo pa wave mo yung initial entry date mo pero hindi ka naman siguro aabutin nun kung DG ka like sabi ni @batman

@Hunter_08 , thank you sa pag reply

bob88

Nagpasa din ba kayo ng form 1221? Dun kasi sa upload page form 80 lang yung specific na na-mention.

zowdyak

gudpm, ask ko lng po bka sakaling may nakaka alam, bakit po kaya matagal ang invitation rounds ngaun? Dec na pero aa of Sept. pa din amg huling invitation rounds..

maguero

@zowdyak Wala naman invitation rounds ang 489 na state-sponsored. Each state has processing timelines for state sponsorship applications. Usually nasusunod naman yung processing timelines.

If you're referring to 489 family sponsored, every 11th of the month yung invitation rounds. 10 lang naiinvite every month.

sicntyrd

sino nakapag kumpleto na ng form 80 diyan, ano sagot niyo dun sa "are you applying for a temporary visa?". Yung 489 di ba temporary?

zowdyak

@maguero, yes sir as of this writing, invitation rounds of skillselect for both 189 and 489 visas is as of Sept. 11 pa. I mean, Dec na no update yet for Oct and Nov.

MLBS

@zowdyak ganyan talaga yan. Inefficient pag update ng immi sa invite rounds. Try immitracker nalang para kahit papano nauupdate ng applicants.

maguero

@zowdyak Tama si @MLBS may mga nainvite nung October and November pero hindi lang updated yung DHA website.

sicntyrd

San niyo recommended magpa medical, yung less hassle based on your experience? Sa St Lukes BGC or sa Nationwide?

Mas accessible sakin yung Nationwide sa Makati pero nabasa ko dati dito yung Nationwide medyo delay magpost ng results. Any advice po?

King Tim

good day po...I'm short sa points...kaya I will try my luck for the visa 489...can my sister, who is already an Au citizen, sponsor me? taga Queensland sya..problema ko, ung zip code nya is 4122 (hindi kasama sa list ng locations)..pwede kayang sponsoran nya ko, tapos tumira na lang somewhere near that zip code?

btw, papa assess po ako as 312212 code...pls. advise..thanks

@King Tim Meron 2 kinds of 489 visa. Yung 489 state & territory sponsored visa kailangan mo mag-apply for state sponsorship dun sa state na nagssponsor ng occupation mo. Pag naapprove ng state yung sponsorship application, pwede ka na maglodge ng visa application. Hindi mo kailangan ng any relatives sa state para mag-apply sa visa na ito. 

Yung 489 family sponsored visa which you mentioned kailangan may close relative ka na nakatira sa designated area. Kung wala sa designated area yung sister mo hindi sya eligible magsponsor. Note na konting-konti lang ang invitations for 489 family sponsored visa. 10 per invitation round lang kaya mataas yung required points.

Check mo if you can apply for a 489 state & territory sponsored visa para makuha mo pa rin yung +10 points.

sicntyrd

@King Tim Or you can wait around July 2019 baka magopen sa QLD yung occupation mo under 190/489.

King Tim

@maguero thanks for replying..

nakita ko ang Victoria nabibigay ng state nomination, kaso may "proof of funds" sila..my question is, pwede bang ilagay ang asset (like property) as proof of funds?

King Tim

@sicntyrd thanks for replying...
may possibility kaya na ma-open pa un?

sicntyrd

@King Tim There's always no guarantee. That is why most people in here try to grab whatever opportunities/openings that come along the way. I just briefly looked up on your occupation sa ANZSCO, and mukhang open naman 190 sa NSW. I'd grab that opportunity kung nagkataon open sa occupation ko yan. Can't really speak on behalf of you kasi mukhang gusto mo talagang makasama sister mo sa QLD.

King Tim

@sicntyrd given the opportunity, gusto ko talaga makasama ate ko para hindi kami masyado mahirapan sa relocation in case...pero kung talagang hindi pwede, I will definitely grab the next best option.

actually, ang pinu-pursue ko na ngaun is 489 dahil sa 10pts..short kasi ako sa points...was looking at Adelaide..baka sakali...

my question is...kapag state nominated ka ba, may possiblity ba na mag-offer sila ng job for you?

sicntyrd

@King Tim Of A lot of people have migrated to AU and nakapagwork na under visa 489. Madami ding napunta sa SA. Looking for a job is a challenge, just like anywhere else. So you have to be prepared and you have to do your own research on state's market on whether may mapapasukan ka ba under your occupation.

King Tim

@sicntyrd thanks for the insights...goodluck to all of us

maguero

@King Tim Kwento ko lang. Nung una ang target ko NSW kasi may kapatid at mga pinsan ako dun. Kaso madalang invitation sa occupation ko kaya habang nag-aantay, nag-apply din ako sa NT. Hindi naging successful yung NT application ko and nawala na yung NSW option ko nung nilabas yung updated guidelines last July. Buti na lang nakita ko na open yung occupation ko sa SA at naka-apply agad ako. Nagclose yung occupation ko sa SA the next day and wala nang state na nagssponsor sa occupation ko ngayon. Buti na lang na-grab ko agad yung opportunity kasi ngayon may 489 visa na ako. Na-grant last month. Kung may makita kang option wag mo masyado patagalin ang pagdecide kasi paiba-iba yung immigration rules ng Australia. Yung option na available isang araw, kinabukasan baka wala na.

King Tim

@maguero thank you for the advice and congrats may visa ka na..really appreciate it..gaano katagal ung application period mo?
