    @fgs, yup nakita ko nga sa immi website. Salamat na rin!

    May isa pa akong tanong, sa mga naglodge online this year, certified true copy ba yung mga attached docs nyo? I know someone who did not attach certified copy docs; she attached scanned original copies. Tinanggap naman, nasa AU na siya. Kinakabahan kasi ako, may mga docs ako na hindi certified copy, original copies lang meron ako. Baka hindi tanggapin? E.g, yung passport, puwede ba na scanned copy na lang? Napapacertify true copy ba yun sa DFA in the first place? Tinatanggap din ba nila yung authenticated docs, yung may red ribbon from DFA?

    Another question po. Sorry ang daming tanong.

    Doon sa part na ililista yung dependents, dapat ko ba isama lahat ng members ng family ko (parents and siblings) kahit na hindi ko sila talaga dependent? Sabi kasi list ALL your family (accompanying or not). Wala naman kaso kung ililista ko sila, ang prob tinatanong rin yung country of residence since 2005. May kapatid kasi ako na mahirap na i-trace yung country of residence nya since 2005...

    @guboer are you single? I remember nilagay ko din lahat..why not just out philippines yong isa ming kapatid na mahirap na itrace ang countries where he lives or just out 1 country n sure ka...i thunk ang ourpose naman nito is just to verify kung may mga family members ka na residing in high risk countries( like TB etc.). Di naman yan iveverify isa-isa

    @fgs, okay na. Hindi pala dapat ilagay sa non-accompanying dependents. May isa pang option dun na other family members. Dun ko sila lahat nilagay, hindi na nirequire yung country of residence.

    Btw, would you know the answer to my question re certified copy docs? Kapag online application ba, dapat certified copy talaga yung iattach o puwede na original copy? May kakilala kasi ako na hindi naman certified copy inattach nya, nasa AU na siya hehe. Pero last year kasi yun, baka mahigpit na sila this year?

    @aueno, lahat ba ng docs na inattach mo certified copy?

    Salamat!

    @fgs, I see. Bahala na, kelangan ko na kasi magsubmit before June. Hindi certified copy yung passport at birth certificate ko. Siguro naman they would ask me to have it certified kung kelangan talaga...

    Btw, how did you get your passport certified? Sa DFA, yung authentication dun? How long ang processing?

    Yung birth certificate naman, sa pagkakaalam ko, ipapacertify muna sa municipality kung saan ka pinanganak tapos sa NSO main office sa QC? Tama ba? I had mine certified in the municipality level pa lang. Matagal ba processing sa NSO?

    @fgs, got it bro. Read it sa immi website. So either ipa-notarize sa notary public or ipa-certify dun sa office na nakalist sa immi website? Tama ba pagkakaintindi ko? Hehe.

    Ikaw saan ka nagpacertify? Dun ba sa office na nasa immi website? How much do they charge?

    @makarunee... wow congrats! Sana ganyan din sa akin hehe. Btw, anu-anong mga docs inattach mo? birth cert, diploma, transcript, passport, passport size pic, english proficiency exam report, medical exam result, nbi clearance? May kulang ba?

    Dun sa medical exam and nbi clearance, hindi ba dapat hintayin ang advice nila? Hindi ba sila nag-email sa'yo bago ka nagsubmit? Basta diretso submit ka na? Kelan ka na-grant/ approve?

    Hi,

    Magagamit ko ba yung license ko after board exam sa Australia? Iniisip ko kasi kung aalis na ako or hindi at magantay ng board exam. Feeling ko kasi nagaaksaya na lang ako ng oras dito kung hindi ko rin naman siya magagamit dun.

    What do you guys think?

    @guboer hindi ko na hinintay na mag-email sila. derecho upload na. :) Nagsubmit ako nung Feb 26. Granted April 14 2015. Nakita ko pala ng PTE ung inexam mo, tama ba? How was it?

    @pseudoaussie I think di recognized yung license natin dito. Though mukang mas okay na kumuha ng experience muna bago pumunta doon para makatulong sa paghahanap ng work. I heard medyo mahirap daw maghanap e. or swertihan lang talaga :)

    @makarunee, hintayin ko na lang ang email nila. Hindi naman ako nagmamadaling umalis haha. Yes, nag-PTE ako imbes na IELTS kasi mabilis magbook. Puwede magbook kahit 24 hrs before your preferred exam date. Tapos within 5 days may result na. Sa case ko 1 day lang ata haha. In terms of exam's difficulty, hmm....same lang ang level ng difficulty pero mas komplikado ang mga type ng exams kesa sa IELTS. Pero sa tingin ko, mas malaki ang chance na makakuha ng mataas na score sa PTE kesa IELTS. May mga modules kasi na more than one skills ang tinitest. Hindi tulad ng sa IETLS, kung listening, listening lang; kung speaking, speaking lang; etc.

    Hi,

    I just learned that 476 are mostly engineers coming from UP? I wish I had this subclass when I was younger :) Anyway, I have an opening for an IT role and I want to give an opportunity to a fellow isko/iska migrant. Please add a cover letter. Our office is based here in Melbourne (Rowville, Victoria). I will do the interview so if you want to know more about me, see geocoding.io. This is for a permanent full time position here at www.datalinktech.com.au. Please pass this on if you know someone who may fit the role and is currently in Australia with valid work rights.

    Goodluck to all of you in your journey here in AU. Dream big. Be brave.

    Cheers,

    Hello everyone, me and my wife have been here in Brisbane for about a month now. We are both visa 476 holders (we applied separately) and still on the job hunt. Land surveyors/GIS specialist (geodetic engineers) kami. Anyone knows what's the best way to approach the job search for this industry?

    Hi! I'm new here. I'm a ChE grad from UP Diliman. Gusto ko lang itanong kung may mga ChE din ba dito, saang fields sila nakahanap ng work sa australia, at kung mahirap ba talaga maghabnap ng ChE related job. Nababasa ko kasi na mababa daw ang job openings para sa mga ChE sa Australia. Thanks! :)

    My 476 visa was granted on October 22. Just wanted to post my timeline for reference:

    August 1 - IELTS
    August 14 - IELTS result (OBS: 8.0)
    August 31 - Lodge
    September 23 - CO Allocated
    October 7 - Medical Exam at Nationwide
    October 9 - NBI Clearance
    October 20 - Form 80 and 1221
    October 21 - CV
    October 22 - Visa Grant

    Initial Entry Date - October 9, 2016

    Nagulat rin ako sa bilis nila mag-grant. Anyhow, anong itatanong ng immigration sa airport (both sa NAIA and OZ)? Kailangan ba magpakita ng return ticket?

    Thanks!

    Hello guys, I have 476 visa as well. Nasa Pinas pa ako, June 2016 ang expiration ng first entry ko. Pero nagdadalawang isip pa ako tumuloy.

    Seeking advice sa mga tumuloy na, madali ba makahanap ng trabaho? Chemical engineer din ako, with MS in environmental engineering and with 2 yrs experience on envi management and consultancy.

    @guboer I suggest sa Perth (WA) ka pumunta at subukang maghanap ng work sa mining/engg companies. Medyo nagtanggalan ng jobs this year na pwedeng magrollover until next year pero marami pa rin namang nagtatanggapan on the side (city-based work) and with your quals, merong consulting firms na willing to take you on board. Goodluck!

    @guboer If you're apprehensive, take a 1 week vacation anywhere in Oz just to fulfill the initial entry rqments. That way your visa doesnt expire, and you have 18months to think about moving down.

    Finding a job and migrating is a risk, in all honesty. But risks come with rewards if you play it right. I am glad I took it.

    @heysoulmister they might ask about the visa as it's not particularly popular, so bring your visa grant notice.

    You don't have to show a return ticket.

    Hi, I just want to ask about the requirement for having a valid Medicare card or receipt of enrollment with Medicare or health insurance in Australia. Recent requirement lang siguro siya kasi nung chineck ko naman yung reqts dati wala namang ganun. Alam niyo ba kung pwedeng magenroll sa Medicare kahit nasa Pilipinas pa? Or kung paano makakakuha ng health insurance sa Australia? Thank you.

    Guys, question.
    Me and my fiancee are about to get married in March 2016 before we leave the Philippines to make our first entry in Australia on April 12, 2016. Our 476 visas, two individual application, were already granted. We are to notify our COs about the change in civil status a day after our wedding. Do you think the change in civil status could result to our granted visas being cancelled?
