September 2015 Visa 189/190 Applicants!!!

C_hiLL · January 2016

dadaan din tayo lahat diyan sa CFO na iyan dahil requirement. Basically orientation lang naman siya about life of being a migrant sa bansang pupuntahan mo. I don't know if it really helps pero kaialangan eh. Para siyang OEC ng isang OFW pero mabuti at isang beses mo lang siya kukunin.

unting kembot nalang yan sa mga nagiintay pa hehe

@markbarquin pano kaya yung mga ofw na didiretso ng alis galing sa kanya-kanyang bansa na pinagtatrabahuhan?

actually ganyan dapat sana gagawin namin para sa next na paguwi ng Pinas saka kami kukuha ng CFO pero uwi na muna daw kami para makapag spend time with family and friends before the big move. So far wala naman problema kasi problema lang yung CFO kapag galing ka sa atin at wala kang stamp.

@sunflower sa Tue kami nakasched.

Kung nasa ibang bansa ka then nag Initial Entry ka straight to AU. Tapos umuwi ka ng PH. No need for CFO sticker dahil meron ka nang tatak ng AU.

Pero if dito ka sa PH manggagaling para mag Initial Entry sa AU, hahanapan ka ng CFO sticker.

Yung brother-in-law ko na nag migrate from SG to AU. Ilang beses na umuwi dito sa PH at bumalik ng AU pero di naman sya nag attend ng PDOS.

May fee ba yung CFO? How about if you have a 2-yr old child, need ba na kasama sa seminar?

@Liolaeus, lurker ako dito kasi inaabangan ko ang grant mo. Kasi ayw kong mag expect ng grant until hindi pla clear ang Sept and Oct batch. Hopefully nareceive mo na talaga soon.

ram071312 · January 2016

@andylhen sis sa cfo, 20-59 y.o emigrants lang req'd. Tapos pag Au/NZ ang destination, Tue/Fri 2-4 PM ang sched.

raiden14 · February 2016

@andylhen - di required and mga kids pero may bayad din na 400 pesos.

NicoDC · February 2016

guys kamusta kayo dito? ask ko lang mabilis ba response sa gsm.brisbane ang CO?

rohani99 · February 2016

@Liolaeus salamat

@andylhen
Hindi na required mag-seminar ang 2 years old.

Basically from 0-12 pati 60 years and above ay exempted na. 13-19 years old Peer Counseling Session and aattendan and then 20-59 years old ang aattend ng PDOS.

Anyway, batchmates, share ko lang yung experience ko sa PDOS. I arrived in CFO around 12:30 pm. I had to get a queue number from the entrance. On my turn, they verified my documents on the counter, then I paid the P400.00 fee. That took about an hour. Around 1:30 pm, I proceeded to the PDOS venue (same building). Then they showed migration videos while we were waiting. (There were only 8 of us in the room! To think na halong Australia and New Zealand na yun.) At 2:06 pm, our speaker, Mr. Allan Ducusin, came and discussed the following: (1) Pre-Departure (2) Settlement (3) Country Profile (4) Citizenship (5) Dual Citizenship. Seminar ended at 4:20 pm.

Based on experience, the things mentioned in the seminar were important. It will be useful for people who haven't done any research on expectations yet. But for the others, just go with the flow nalang. Do come at least an hour and a half earlier than the seminar because the queue for the verification of documents is long.

@sunflower, kaylan po ang move nyo sa Australia at Saan state ?

C_hiLL · February 2016

@Liolaeus talaga? nabasa ko kasi sa ibang thread na may nahold nga because of it. Nag initial entry na galing sa ibang bansa.
Thanks @sunflower for your insights! Looking forward for the seminar

thegreatiam15 · February 2016

@Liolaeus

mukhang sasagarin ata yung huling mga makakakuha nang grant sa 30 days mohahaha

sunflower · February 2016

@kaizer23
Hi! Wala pa kong ticket eh. Pero ang deadline ng initial entry ko ay July 2016, so sometime before that. And then sa Brissie ko target mag-land and mag-settle.

@markbarquin
Worst case scenario kung ma-hold nga sila na nag-initial entry from another country tapos bumalik sa Pinas, meron namang CFO booth sa airport for those instances.

C_hiLL · February 2016

@sunflower on the spot seminar? hahaha here is what fgs said in another thread

PDOS is Philippine immigration requirement for those going out of the country on a migrant visa...since you are in Singapore, you can go directly to Australia without the CFO sticker. but when you go back to Ph for vacation, they will still require you to have the sticker.

Weird lang. Pano kaya nakalusot yung brother-in-law ko at wife nya.. more than 5 times na sila nag pabalik balik dito so far in the last 2 years. Nagkataon kayang hindi malinaw yung rule nila na yun sa PH immigration? Merong nag hahanap at meron din namang hindi nag hahanap ng CFO sticker pag may AU entry na.

Naku wag mo hintayin yung decision ng visa ko hehe. Special case kasi kaya matagal pa yung sakin. Di pa nga ko kumpleto ng requirements. Wala pa kasi HAPID ng anak ko.

Maybe they already secured it without you guys knowing. Ngayun lang kasi din ako nakabasa dito sa forum na pabalik balik ng AU without having any CFO. Requirement kasi yun and tatanungin ka ng immigration officer kung bakit matagal ka nagstastay sa AU then sasabihin mo syempre is PR ka at papakita ang grant letter mo then for sure next na titingan nila isa yung CFO sticker nga otherwise nagbago or may ganun na rule. Hehehe Let us know na lang if confirmed ang story ng kuya mo at matanong din natin sa iba dito sa forum.

sunflower · February 2016

@markbarquin
Haha, walang seminar sa airport itself. Pero may booth sila to help you with whatever CFO-related circumstance. Yun ang sabi dun sa PDOS ah.

@Liolaeus
Yung best friend ko rin and yung family niya eh nag-migrate sila some time around 2012 and hindi sila umattend ng PDOS from the Philippines. Mga twice na sila nakabalik sa Pinas and hind naman sila hinanapan nung sticker. Baka depende yun sa Immigration Officer na magchecheck ng passport mo. Pero anyway, required kasi siya and nakalagay siya mismo sa letter ng Visa Grant, so I suggest go to the seminar nalang para iwas sa problema.

C_hiLL · February 2016

@sunflower siguro nga once you entered AU eh hindi ka na hahanapan ng CFO but is anyone willing to take the risk na mabulilyaso ang trip nila? :>

filipinacpa · February 2016

@thegreatiam15 Php5,940 po ang binayaran ko for 12 hours hands on driving.. regular price is Php6,600 for 10 hours naka promo sila that time with 10% discount plus 2 hours on hand driving..
