  @gointoau,
  Hi, welcome to Oz!
  Where are you located? When we came here last Mar, my family stayed at the west side then now we're here at the east side.
  East side is lovely with the view of the mountains. ;-)
  Are you alone or with family?

  @hard2handle,
  Sa Wantirna kami nakakita ng haus. Yep mahal nga pero may mga suburb din konting mura pero old houses na style nung iba. Mahirap makahanap haus kaya nung may tumawag samin grab na. Ganun daw dito pero kapag may record na ng renting madali na tawagan ng mga agent.

  Anong month ba kayo? Kami kasi March pa ;-) excited na hehhe para ma PR agad agad.

  Hello everybody. I'm new in this forum. May mga concern lang po ako. Sana matulungan nyo ako. Visa 496 din po kami, visa granted: 21 October 2015. Primary applicant po ako, IED before 4 March 2016. Meron akong daughter na gustong i-continue ang studies dito sa Phils. since 3rd college na siya. Ano po ba ang mas maganda, doon na siya magtapos sa Australia o dito sa Philippines? Totoo po ba yung nabalitaan ko regarding 1 year work requirement ay pwede raw pagsamahin o i-sum up ang total hours, let's say me and my wife working as casual? Thanks po. ;;)

  @joe23 hindi pwedeng pagsamahin yung hours ng husband and wife, kasi isa lang pwedeng mag apply as primary applicant. ibig sabihin ng pagsamahin is, pag yung hubby OR wife eh walang full time na work (at least 35 hrs per week) pero merong part time or casual work na pag pinagsama sama mo yung oras sa kanyang part time or casual work eh aabot sa 35 hours per week, considered na ding may full time work sya.

  hi guys/gals,
  sorry putol putol lahat ng message ko. something wrong with my phone last night.
  
  anyways, i've checked the 887 checklist and isa sa requirement nila ang NBI. suggest mag renew na tayo. may friend kami na 887 din and mag la lodge this month kaso ang tagal daw ng release ng NBI. ung form pwede makakuha sa city phil embassy ($45) then send to phils (Php200) processing. iba pa syempre ang courier fee. pero if may kakilala kayo sa NBI palakad n lng :-)
  
  come next year sa march kami 2 yrs. meron ba ahead of us? sharing na ulet ito :-)
  ang leadtime pala ng 887 ay 6months. fyi too.
  
  cheers,

  Merry christmas and happy new year 496ers!!! Heto na 2016 na!!! Pagpalain tayo ng Dyos, malapit na tayong mag-apply ng 887.
  
  @Shirlie mukhang kayo mauuna. Baka kailangan din natin police clearance sa singapore. Ako sa May 2016 pag ako pwede apply ng 887.
  
  @Joselito based sa website ng vicroads, pag temporary visa pwede mo gamitin yung phil license during your length of stay (so i would assume hanggang mag expire visa mo or license mo whichever is earlier).

  Happy New Year 496ers! This is our year for PR yahoo!
  
  @rolly04, NBI lang ung pinasa namin kasi ung lodge application namin is wayback nung sa PInas pa.
  
  @fgs, diko ma recall hitsura ng NBI pero diba may expiration un. baka sumabit pa kung un ipapasa. renew kana lng din para wala problema :-) This month ka kamo mag lodge? Keep us posted ha...
  
  Kamusta na kaya iba nating 496ers, seems super duper busy ah :-)
