@rolly04,
Ung sa SG police clearance, wala kaming way para maka request ng letter sa CO kasi wala naman email sa acknowledgement at bridging visa. Kaya waiting n lng kami if hihingan.
Nag try ako tumawag sa hotline no nila pero grabe sa tagal n nka queue ako, na mentioned pa nga na pang 37 ako sa nag a antay. Binaba ko na lng ung call ko

Shirlie · May 2016

@fgs,
Nung nag apply kaba ng 496 thru online lodgement? Kasi ung isang kakilala ko din na 496 online kaya ung acknowledgement may nakasad tungkol sa medicare.
Ako kasi paper lodge, dipa uso online heheh, un naisip namin baka dahil paper lodgement kami kaya iba ung acknowledgemnt. Same sa kaso ninrolly04.

@rolly04,
Pls confirm if paper lodge or online ka?

axln · May 2016

@Shirlie ok, so technically di pa tayo pwede kumuha nung medicare dapat dahil 496 pa din ang visa natin diba? Kung baga unaware lang ang medicare sa totoong status ng visa natin kaya nakakalusot yung temp medicare dahil hindi pa in effect yung bridging visa.

rolly04 · May 2016

@Shirlie yes paper lodge ako sa 496. Yung SG clearance ko dated May 2013 pa pero sinubmit ko na lang din.

rolly04 · May 2016

@axln from medicare website:

People who have applied for a permanent resident visa (except for
a parent visa) may be eligible for the Medicare and Pharmaceutical Bene ts Scheme programs if they have a visa authorising their stay in Australia and:
• have permission to work, or
• their parent, spouse or child is an Australian citizen or holds an Australian permanent resident visa

So i think entitled tayong 496 once we applied 887.

axln · May 2016

@rolly04 thanks for the info. Atleast clear na din.

rolly04 · May 2016

@Shirlie since our bridging visa is not yet in effect, that means yung visa 496 natin ang in effect. Our visa 496 allows us to travel outside australia. So pwede tayo magtravel outside oz while our pr887 is in process and as long as our visa 496 is not yet expired.

hello. Wow. Prang kelan lang ngayon nag/mag aaply na tyo for PR. hehe..May question pla ako about Police Check. Need ba na isabay ko un sa application ko now kasi may nakapagsabi sa akin na wait ko daw muna ung request ng CO.. Tapos ung hubby ko ung NBI nya is dated Feb 2015.. Need ba nya kumuwa ng bago? Thanks

se29m · May 2016

@athenalady14 kung nakapaglodge ka na, better na ready ka na to have the police check cert. Nbi clearance is only valid for 1 year.

Of course better pag maisabay mo sa application mo. Anyway, NBI does not require na may request letter from CO. Unlike other countries like Singapore. When i applied for Singapore Police Clearance in May 2013, Singapore Police asked me to present request letter from CO. Besides, 1 year naman validity ng nbi clearance and the processing time for PR 887 is 6 months.

My Singapore Police Clearance is dated May 2013, sana di na ako hingan ng CO ng updated clearance kasi nagstay ako sa Singapore until March 2014 pa. Abala ang pagkuha ng Singapore Police Check especially now that i'm here in Melbourne.

athenalady14 · May 2016

Hi @rolly04 and @se29m. Thank you for the advice. I'm planning to lodge it sana this weekend. Nabasa ko sa thread ung police check 24hours lang release na pero sa website nakita ko 10 days.. Siguro lodge ko nlng muna kasi para maka avail na ng medicare then iready ko nlng police check ko ska nbi ng asawa ko...Ung kakilala ko kasi di rin nila sinabay hiningan nlng din sila..

rolly04 · May 2016

@Shirlie for your reference, napakakomplikado naman ang pagkuha ng singapore clearance. Gaano ka pala katagal sa singapore?

http://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/overseasmission/canberra/consular_services/certificate_of_clearance.html

hi.. I just finished with my online application and the payment. I am just wondering when maittach ung mga evidence nakalagay kasi:

"Providing supporting evidence
This applicant is not required to provide any evidence at this stage based on the information provided within the application. However, the department may request further information from this applicant at a later date."

so aantayin ko lang? thanks

athenalady14 · May 2016

hehe.. okey na.. nakita ko na.. panic attack lang..

rolly04 · May 2016

I just applied for medicare. Sabi sa akin, it may take 4 weeks bago ko matanggap yung medicare card. Ganun ka katagal sau @Shirlie?

iamjin · June 2016

hello fellow 887 applicants!:)
i just have a quick question, dapat ba mg submit ng form 80?

re SG police clearance, they really require to have the CO, guess we'll just have to wait if required.

@Shirlie , i downloaded the VEVO app, inputted all details but cannot proceed.

Shirlie · June 2016

@rolly04,
Sorry late reply. Baka this time nakuha mo na card mo. Mga 1-2wks siguro via post.

Shirlie · June 2016

@iamjin,
Sorry nasan portion kn ng application?

rolly04 · June 2016

@iamjin it's good to submit form 80 upfront. pero sa case ko, i submitted the form 2 days after i have submitted my application

re sg police, did you try to apply one but then rejected because they required you to provide letter from CO first before they can process ur police clearance application?

iamjin · June 2016

@Shirlie inputted my DOB, passport, TRN but ayaw mg proceed

iamjin · June 2016

@rolly04 will fill up the form and submit it then.
SG police is currently waiting for CO letter before they proceed. hopefully i get to hear about the application para ma update ko sila.

iamjin · June 2016

@Shirlie @rolly04 did you guys file for medicare levy exemption?

rolly04 · June 2016

@iamjin yes nag-apply ako ng medicare levy exemption for last year's tax return. This year kuha ulit ako sa july

iamjin · June 2016

@rolly04 pwede na bang mg enroll for Medicare before I submit the documents for exemption or do I need to wait for July - get the exemption then enroll for medicare?

rolly04 · June 2016

@iamjin apply and get your medicare first. para alam mo kung anong period ang covered ng medicare levy exemption mo. kasi sa form pag mag apply ka ng medicare levy exemption, ilalagay mo yung inclusive dates na wala ka pang medicare card.

iamjin · June 2016

@rolly04 thanks for the information:) will drop by medicare and enroll

rolly04 · June 2016

nakuha ko na interim medicare card ko, valid for one year.
