@Filoz last week lang to. bumuhos na nga ang grant ngayong araw

Filoz · July 2015

@J_Oz Uu nga Galing! GOD is good!

Sa wakas pwede na tayo magpost dito!

Gumising ako kanina mga 6am at nakita ko ang message sa akin ng mga batchmates sa Forum na ginigising na pala nila ako para magcall na sa DIBP. Bumubuhos na pala ng blessings ng Visa Grant sa Pinoy AU. Nagtry kami magcall sobrang dami beses after almost 30 minutes finally nakasagot na din sa amin ang isang babae na napakabait. Sabi nya hold lang daw muna ang call finalize na daw niya pagbalik niya nagsabi sya na nasend ko na ang Grant ninyo congrats. NagThank you ng madami si hubby. Pagbaba namin ng phone andun na yung Golden email. Pagbaba niya ng phone umiyak kami parehas at nagyakapan. Nagpasalamat kami agad kay GOD for the Grace for His big favour. After ilang years ng preparation it was worth the wait. Nangangatog pa ako ako nun nilalamig hehehe. Kaso bigla namin naisip papasok pala siya kaya madali nagplantsa at nagprepare hahaha. Until now naoverwhelm pa din ako, hindi ako makakain hahaha. Puno ng pasasalamat sa Diyos habang nanuod ng Hillsong Conference 2015 Sydney sa online Streaming.

Salamat ulit sa lahat ng Pinoy AU! Team April you are the Best! GOD bless sa lahat huwag kayong bibitiw sa pangarap. Australia Salamat for Accepting us on your amazing country!

J_Oz · July 2015

@Filoz wow nakakaiyak pareho tayo!!! hehe

So sakin namin, ilang beses ako nagising ng maaga to check my mail and this forum. pero mga around 9:20am siguro nakita ko buhos na ang grant. Sakto yong misis ko nasa bahay masama pakiramdam sabi halfday daw siya. Dali dali ako kinuha ko number dito sa forum tas tinawagan ko. Yong postpaid ko for some reasons di makatawag ng international buti nanaman at andito si misis so ginamit namin phone niya. So nag ring, sumagot babae ang bait. Humingi ako ng update kasi nirequire kami ng Saudi PCC and evidence of relationship prior to marriage. Si CO napakabait ok na daw yong PCC yong evidence daw ang wala di daw nila makita yong sagot ko sa email nila nung 23. Sabi ko nagemail ako, tas chineck niya sabi niya yon nasa immi daw nakaupload. Tas tinitignan niya isa isa, nakakatawa pa yong reaction niya parang natatawa sa mga sinend namin. tapos sabi niya wait daw ng update within the day....

So kabado ako kasi yong iba after ilang minutes grant na. Sabi ko makapagpost muna sa pinoy au, nagpost nga ako then after check ng mail. Biglang may email na, sabi ko sa misis ko. May email pero hindi ko mabasa ng maayos haha. Nanginginig na ako. tapos sabi ko ayan grant na tayo. nagyakapan kami bigla. tas sabi ko teka sayo lang etong visa grant yong akin baka hindi grant. edi check ako uli, tas ayon na grant nga rin... nagyakapan na kami tas nagiyakan as in tas post sa pinoyau haha..

matapos ang iyakan at yakapan, nagdasal kami nagpasalamat sa ating Diyos na buhay tas tsaka kami tumawag sa magulang namin. Sobrang sarap pala sa pakiramdam. hanggang ngayon hindi parin kami makapaniwala pero totoong totoo na to.

Glory to God. sawakas grant na rin.

Maraming salamat sa mga tumulong at sainyong lahat. sobrang ang sarap ng pakiramdam, pero nakakatakot kasi yong fact na magmove dyan at hindi alam kung may work ba naghihintay. Pero sabi nga sa Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

maraming salamat!

It has been a year nung ngupdate ako dito. Been busy with pregnancy (2nd baby), work, online shop, and prepare docs for pr application. Kkgrant lang ng visa namin last july6. Buti naihabol pa c bunso sa pg apply ng visa. That moment nung ngtext c agent na granted ang visa namin, dpa muna ngsync in sa akin kc naalimpungatan lang ako nung binasa ko ung text. Nightshft ako kaya windang nung ngising. Though conscious naman ako nung nabasa ko pero lam mo ung feeling normal lang? Pero nung next na paggising, cnb ko sa asawa ko. Aun tuloy2 na ligaya! Hahaha delayed reaction ba until now. Nangangarap kung anu na ggwin namin sa Aussie. Hehehehe. Plan2 kmi kung saan kmi ttira. It would be totally a different environment for us. Anyway, I'll take this opportunity na rin to ask you guy where is the best place to live in Aussie? We wanted a family-oriented place, cympre ung may madaling mkuhang trabaho ganun ba...

elleb1 · April 2016

@cholle kmusta nman po yung paghahanap ng work sa field mo? Same field kc tayo (science) at wla kc ko msyado nkikita sa mga forum usually IT. MAg apply palang kami for visa 190, got SS from NSW. Ndi ba mahirap maghanap ng work related sa field natin sa NSW?

prcand · April 2016

sagutin ko ung topic...

initial reaction: confused. kasi usually ung visa successful applications natanggap ko has the word "approved". sobrang hinanap ko ung word na un, pero wala akong nakita. kaya di sigurado

cholle · July 2016

@elleb1 Hi! Sorry ngayon lang ako nakabalik sa forum. I work in a different industry now pero may kilala akong GIS Specialist who found work in Melbourne. Dito sa NSW you can try local councils or government offices, some of them are looking for GIS people

elleb1 · July 2016

@cholle thanks sa info! God bless:-) NSW kmi nkakuha ng sponsorship, jan kami mag stay hopefully hindi kami mahirapan maghanap ng work.

batman · August 2016

@mimic @chewychewbacca @allej @jedh_g testimony na ditto hehe.

mimic · August 2016

Haha salamat sa tag. Same question din ako bago nakuha grant.
So nakuha ko email sa phone and ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko then katabi ko hubby. Sabi ko may grant na. Pero sabi ko calmly wait we have to check and read in the computer. So chineck ko muna yung pdf files, immi account and VEVO lol to make sure na mayroon na nga and hindi scam haha.

Ayun happy and we jump and hug then after I felt empty. The whole thing was eating me for a month then after nawala yung stress eh. Biglaan.We waited for it for 2 years. I kinda dreamt for it for 5 years Haha until now di ako makapaniwala

Woke up and asked myself again, is it really over? Lol

jedh_g · August 2016

"I was about to loose hope in waiting for a month considering complete submission of consent to CO required document of our youngest son for the FORM 815 last June 29. I daily opened my email for any message that would pop out for that golden visa grant notification but I ended up envious from other candidates who had received theirs. Until our family had a vacation trip for 9 days to HK to visit my mother in law and vacation for our children. It was on our 3rd day from our vacation that my agent had sent me a skype message that I should contact them immediately. I knew it meant two things, either our CO is requesting another document to submit or this is it. I was relieved and jump for joy as it is confirmed from her saying - Sir, we had received all your visa grants today, congratulations!" :x

I belong to the last batch of applicants before nag change sa EOI system kaya ang daming applicants nun. Tapos na delay pa health results kaya tarantang taranta dahil mag 9 months since I lodged at wala pang results.

Napapaisip ako kung may na miss out ba ako or something? I kept copies of all my app documents so binabasa basa ko pa kunyari may mali ba akong nilagay.

Then one day at work, I went back to my desk at 1 pm and checked my personal email kasi I ordered something online and ang tagal dumating ng confirmation and receipt tapos yun lumitaw ang grant letter! Di ako makapaniwala. Halos di na ako nakatrabaho nung araw na yun.

It took me years before I made the final move but suddenly I was less stressed sa work kahit bumigat workload ko at halos araw araw na ako pumapasok. It feels different when you know you have the option to leave.
