    Hi Mga Kaberks,

    Regarding sa pera na dadalhin sa OZ, better ba na dito na magpapalit ng AUD or don na lang sa OZ magwithdraw sa ATM? magkano ang charge sa mga ATM per transaction?

    Thanks,
    Den

    @cholle haha so i think malaking factor ang paggagala para maapprove. haha. in short guys, wag ma-stress, just enjoy life you'll never know when will be the last. share ko lang, when I applied last june, I always check the status of other members or updates. sobrang nakaka-stress pag may maaga naapprove ahead sayo or ngddoubt ka ba. or sometimes mag-iisip ka if may tama ba or mali sa docs mo. then after my 3rd month I started to get inpatient kasi parang mas magaling pa kayo sa agent ko na walang kabuhay buhay mg-update or mgreply. nalaman ko na ang sagot dito sa forum bago pa sila magreply. (will not mention the name of agency). super kung nakita ko sna tong forum ng mas maaga sana ngdirect na lang din (just my opinion) kasi ok din pala at mas makakasave ng money. Tapos when I reached my 3rd month I demanded an explanation and even quote some forum topics or updates dito sa agent ko which is an Aussie. Hindi ako makulit na tao at I hardly email them for updates. Tapos sinabi nya wag daw maniwala sa mga nababasa sa forums baka makasama sa status at wag makikinig kasi sometimes maglead pa sa refusal or sumunod pa din sa timeline kahit delayed. Pero in the end sya din napahiya kasi tinawagan nya din ung DIBP. then boom after 1 week direct grant na ako. Oh diba, parang nakulitan sya. hehe. OT mode na to, ang mahalaga I got it, and I will tour SG one last time ulit.

    @danz1213 Thanks! By the way, I've sent you a PM. Medyo madami need i-provide na documents to prove de facto, pero madali lang naman i-compile specially if mahilig kayo magtago ng mga mementos. :) Good luck!

    I think hindi na kelangan? They don't even need to know where we live eh (sa mga 189). But you won't lose anything naman by informing the CO.

    Di ko kasi alam kung meron bang specific form para dun kasi. di nagrereply CO namin sa question namin kaya di pa din kami sure. hinala ko lang di na kailangan kasi parang same weight lang ang married at de facto sa australia.

    Mga batchmates, maraming salamat ulit sa inyong suporta noong June to September last year. Malaking tulong talaga itong forum!

    Maraming nangyari nung na-approve ang aking visa, na halos nakalimutan ko nang bumalik rito sa forum hehe. Dumating ako sa Down Under just 5 days after the visa grant, nag-aabang nalang kasi ako noon. Then 1 month job hunting at nakahanap rin ng work. So far, so good!

    Sa mga kapwa ko OFW sa Singapore, huwag kayo matakot sa tax rito. Though nasa 30% ang tax (compared sa 2% sa SG) , eh malaki rin naman ang base pay rito so malaki pa rin ang earnings. Pero I think, kapag nasa 8k to 10k na ang sahod mo sa Singapore, eh medyo pantay na rin rito so depende pa rin.

    Share ko rin itong site: http://paycalculator.com.au useful iyan sa pag-compute ng takehome pay. Accurate naman nung ni-try ko.

    All the best ulit batchmates. At hopefully, we can keep in touch rito sa Australia, parang konti lang kasi ang Pinoy na nakikilala ko rito eh.
