@mariem haha wow! pwede pumasyal pasyal muna while waiting for Oz visa hehe

mariem · March 2016

OZwaldCobblepot ung ibang nabasa ko sir kasama ng grant letter nya ung form 815, ung isa hours after masubmit me grant na.. ung kabatch ko sa January kinabukasan after masubmit meron na.. granted sya last week.. siguro depe depende sa CO.. I will surely keep everybody posted
nung sinend ko ung 815 via e-mail, i highlighted that i have 4 month old baby in the application, and to please process the visa asap, so we can carefully plan on how to migrate with baby. siguro nakatulong yung request ko sa CO, para asikasuhin nya agad ung visa. hope this helps.

Wow! Ganyan nga rin ang gagawin ko kapag nag request si CO ng Form 815 sa akin. Challenging ang 3 kids and 1 is currently 8 months old.

Kaya pala the next day may visa grant kaagad.

@mariem haha wow! pwede pumasyal pasyal muna while waiting for Oz visa hehe

Yes... magpakabusy sa ibang bagay hahahaha... naisip namin ni hubby once nasa Au na kami wala ng yaya to take care of the kids while we're away kaya ito taking advantage of the chance na makatravel. Also once we do the big move everytime we travel with the 3 kiddos na 8-}

mariem · March 2016

@jaz007_EngTech correct, 1 down and 1 more visa to go.

mariem · March 2016

@gelotronic naisip ko lang ngayon, Hindi kaya dahil you have 75 points on your EOI kaya you were given priority for visa grant?

ram071312 · March 2016

@gelotronic baka nga sir.. hehe.. still waiting, pag wala pa I will phone them.. napapraning ako kung complete na ba talaga application ko, pano kasi ung iba me hinihingi pa sa second contact e.. hayy

ram071312 · March 2016

@mariem wow sis congrats sa successful medical at sa Korean visa nyo! pangarap ko din makapunta sa Korea at manood ng Kpop concert.. haha

Hello guys, from October 2015 batch ako, but I have been hear sa AU n for 1yr eto yumg suggestion k tipid tips:

Shopping

cheap, medium quality products (cloths, cutleries, household goods and appliances, some furnitures, beddings etc)

kmart
bigw
reject shop
dollar king
target
Ikea

those bound for melbourne especially for the first few months n job hunting you might consider getting a month myki pass at 135aud unlimited access to train/tram/bus.

Budget your transpo cost at 7.52 per day. Yan ang maximum amount n pwede icharge sayo per day. if n reach m n yan unli pass k n..basta make sure you touch on as board and touch off as you leave, if nahuli k nang inspectors 75aud first offense ang fine, then 235aud n ang sunod. (MELBOURNE ONLY)

As for food (Palengke)

Eastern suburn BOXHILL is the best! parang mini hong kong..daming chinese!
South East Suburbs OAKLEIGH and or SPRINGVALE is best..
Western suburb Footscray market

Convenience stores:

Coles.com.au ( free delivery every wednesday for 100aud shopping) ok n if family hindi p hirap mag bit2x..or shop every forthnight

be sure to get a flybuys loyalty card!

woolworths.com.au (Get loyalty card)
aldi.com.au

Shopping dito is walang tingi2x always in kilo/liter..meron naman small amounts pero sobrang lugi k kasi ang difference is 1au
so always bulk.

Costco is also good pero may membership, not recommended if wala k car to carry your goods kasi wholesale/bulk buying only

@prcand thanks po now I'll try po this time...

prcand · March 2016

galing! salamat ng marami dito. by the way, since 1 year ka na andiyan, would you know of cases na nag initial entry lang muna, tapos bumalik to settle for things, and then afterwards ang big move?

takot ko kasi, baka pag nakita ng immigration officer ung air ticket itinerary tapos may round trip flight back after some days, baka di payagan ma activate ang PR visa / status.

hello @prcand! pareho kami ni @jkk32w.. sa case ko, nag initial entry ako sa Melbourne last Feb. 5, then babalik ako bukas sa SG to settle things.. hanggang end of the month nlng ako sa current employer ko tas balik na ako dito for good by March 31.. hindi nmn hinihingi ng IO ang flight itinerary ko nung dumating ako.. so d kailangan mag-alala

prcand · March 2016

ayos! di pala kelangan ipakita ang air ticket. pumayag employer mo na mag leave for 1 month? magawa rin yan, pero takot ako i-cancel nila epass ko, di na makabalik LOL

SATA chai chee ka din? ang bilis nila, kinabukasan agad... submitted and cleared ang medical exam.

p0rn5taR · March 2016

@prcand hindi ako nagpaalam.. wag kang maingay ha

hahahaha anyway.. work from home kasi ako kaya nagtatrabaho pa rin ako kahit nandito ako.. uu akala ko nga 2-3 days pa kasi yun yung sabi nung nasa frontdesk.. nung nicheck ko yung status the following day, tapos na.. ehdi bongga dba?

hahahah

nung nag initial entry po ba kayo pumunta kyo sa centrelink then sinabi nyo ba for some weeks/days lng muna kayo sa oz then babalik in some time again for the big move? nagtanong ba sila ng details like kelan ung plan na balik sa oz? thanks thanks!

jkk32w · March 2016

@jandm hello! wlapo silang ask f mag settle or initial entry. I think wats important is as long as ur PR ur eligible to apply na. whther ur here or not I dnt think its an issue. of curs f wla ka dito indii mo rin sia mggamit hehe

p0rn5taR · March 2016

@jandm tama c @jkk32w.. wala na silang mga questions pa.. pag nipresent mo na yung grant, paprocess na nila agad..

prcand · March 2016

Sige, try ko ring gawin mag leave muna. Di kasi kaya mag WFH for one month ;p

Ang sarap ng feeling pag welcome ka as PR, unlike kung san tayo ngayon na pahirapan pag di ka flavor of the month LOL

@prcand hindi ako nagpaalam.. wag kang maingay ha hahahaha anyway.. work from home kasi ako kaya nagtatrabaho pa rin ako kahit nandito ako.. uu akala ko nga 2-3 days pa kasi yun yung sabi nung nasa frontdesk.. nung nicheck ko yung status the following day, tapos na.. ehdi bongga dba? hahahah

Parang mas mahirap pa i-clear ang immigration officer sa Manila no? Dami nila tanong LOL
