Some would require that the primary has to step in first (or together with dependents) or some naman, walang condition kailangan.

Based on DIBP website:
If condition 8502 is attached to your visa you must not enter Australia before the person specified has entered Australia.
if there are no visa conditions specified on your visa grant then any of your dependents can enter Australia before you.

To answer your question, no need nang bumalik sa pinas ng dependent mo kung mag-expire na yung PR visa nyo, he can stay indefinitely in Australia as a PR...
After the PR visa validity, kapag lalabas sya ng Oz, need nya mag-apply ng Return Resident Visa, until such time na na-meet nyo na yung residency requirement and applied for Citizenship..

I received my ACS assessment na po..
1. Bachelor degree - major in computing
2. Skilled experience will start to be considered after February 2007 onwards.
a. Company A (Aug 2004-Dec 2009) = 5 yrs and 4 months
b. Company B (Dec 2009-Dec 2014) = 5yrs.
although current ang employment ko po sa Company B, iniligay ko po kasi sa assessment na yung "End Date" ay Dec 2014 as per the date of my COE letter to comply with ACS instruction na kelangan may "end date" yung current employment pag pina assess
So kapos po ako ng 3 months to claim 8 yrs (in March 2015).
By March or april 2015 ay kukuha po ulit ako ng COE kay company B, with the same content of my work details having the "latest date of the letter only"
My questions are:
1. ko pa po ba mag pa re-assess ulit sa ACS para sa additional 3 months na employment period na madagdag sa company B ko by march or april 2015?
2. or proceed na sa submission ng EOI having to upload the latest certified COE "in latest letter date" from company B na makukuha ko?
Thanks po in advance

my mga questions/dillema lang po ako sana po matulungan nyo ko...
here goes. when i checked the reqts, under general skilled migration... dapat maka 65 points, tama ba? ang plan namin kasi mauuna si hubby for 1-2 years and then susunod kami ni daughter. si hubby kasi 2 yr course ng computer technology ang natapos. ang current work nya is encoder/courier sa transport and logistics (parang all around on site person) for about 3 yrs. ako naman, i finished BS ECE, and i work as an IT helpdesk analyst for roughly 5 yrs. feeling ko mas pasok ako na primary applicant.
sya sana ang mauuna kasi nothing to lose sya sa current work nya ngayon. if kailanganin nya ng funds pag nauna sya dun, makakapag padala ako sa kanya. if ako ang mauuna dun, at wala pa akong maging work right away, baka hndi kaya ng sweldo nya mag isa yung mga gastusin sa bahay plus mag sschool na yung daughter namin.
if ako ba ang mag aapply as primary.. kelangan pa din nya makapasa dun sa 65 points? also. if ako ang primary, pede ba sya ang mauna doon?
mejo hindi ko rin makita kung saan yung skills nya sa SOL at sa CSOL. yung sakin din IT helpdesk analyst.. hindi ko alam kung meron sa SOL or sa CSOL. under ba sya ng systems analyst?
tapos yung payment po ba ng application, right away pag nag apply ka? so pag nadeny ka, bye bye na sa application fee (150k)? or magbabayad lang po if nareach nyo na yung certain stage na sure na kayo na maaapprove?
any reasons po na madedeny ang visa? if hindi kami pasok sa 189 SI, pede kaya kami sa 489 Skilled regional? Eligible relative ba ang tito? He's from Blacktown. (cousin ng mom ko na ninong din namin sa kasal). Pero d ko makita yung blacktown sa designated area. Relative lang ba talaga pede magsponsor? di pede friend? Mas mababa po ba ang reqts for 489 Skilled regional visa?
mag aapply ka po ba muna bago mag exam sa IELTS? or IELTS muna?
pasensya na po madami tanong. sana po may makasagot. madaming salamat po. God Bless!
