VISA 489 to 887

gracee · April 2015

Hello po. I'm a visa 489 holder granted last January. I will be moving to Queensland this coming May. Ask ko lang po and hope may magadvise. Paano po ba ang process ng pag-apply from visa 489 to 887? Ano po ang proofs na pwede isubmit to fulfill the 2 year residency and 1 year full time work requirements? Can I apply on my own? Hope for your advice para po sana I can prepare early. Thank you.

Keep any docs na pwede mo gawing proof that you really stayed in regional area..( house rental, letters, grocery receipts etc..anything na may address kung saan ka nakatira)..for the work req..payslips, employment contracts)...you can apply on your own..as a 489 visa holder, you can apply for a subsequent entrant 489 visa for your qualified relatives

gracee · July 2015

Thanks fgs! Sorry now lang ako nakareply. Been busy lately on my transfer to aus hehe. Andito na po ako qld now. I will keep that in my mind. Matanong ko lang po sino ba qualified relatives? Pwede ba sister ko? Saka may nabasa po ako pwede kahit di full time work basta maka 35 hours a week. Tama po ba yon? Thanks

@gracee Ask ko lang sino po nagsponsor sayo? May bond ba na binayaran yung sponsor mo? May gagastusin ba ang sponsor? Thanks!

fgs · July 2015

@gracee dont sure sa sister..in my case kasi 2 pamangkins ang ginawa kong dependents...1 was included in my original application and the other 1 as a subsequent entrant..pwede siguro sister mo as dependent basta maprove mo lang(living with you, proof of support of at least 1 yr)..she must be 25 years and below to be considered as dependent..any work kahit di related sa skill mo basta 35 hrs per week..pwede two part-time at not necessary continuous...dapat 52 weeks na tag 35 hrs( di pwede commulative yong hrs..20hrs this week and50 hrs the ff week cannot be computed as two weeks of 35hrs each)

Hindi po ba yung primary applicant ng 489 lang ang eligible to apply for 887 visa?

hijk · September 2015

parang narinig ko sa iba pwede kahit sino maka meet ng requirements pwede na mag apply for PR 887. Bka may mga same scenario rito na nag grant na ng 887 paki confirm pls. Thanks!

gracee · September 2015

@fgs May question lang po sana ako ulit. Do I need to take the ielts again when i apply for visa 887? Thank you

Hi po!Kumusta po visa 887 application nyo?We are on the same boat po kasi.Visa 489 din kami,we started settling here in Adelaide last April 2015 po.Ako po ang main applicant,but my hubby is the one who is working FT.Totoo po ba talagang pwede yun?Na yung dependent ang magiging primary na for visa 887 kasi sya unang naka comply sa mga requirements?

Please enlighten po.

MSS · September 2015

Sa pagkakaintindi ko po sa rules nla e you need to stay for at least 2 years with at least 1 yr full time job...since kakaland nyo lng ng 2015,you still need to satisfy the immig or state that you have been looking for the job from that 2 yr period before you can get out of that state without having the job.your hubby is the dependant and not the primary applicant to comply with the state commitment.yun po pgkakaintindi ko.

Sa Paralowie po kami.Pwede nyo po e msg sa akin # nyo po.Kagagaling ko lang po kanina sa info session sa Currie Street,natanong ko po itong case natin.Sabi naman nila pwede daw kahit primary or secondary applicant ang mag-apply.And since April 2015 kami nag initial entry,and di naman umalis ng SA husband ko di kagaya sa akin na bumalik ng Singapore,so sabi nung taga DIBP sa info session,na April 2017 pwede na daw mag-apply for 887,yun nga,si hubby ko na ang primary applicant,hindi na ako for 887.As long as meron syang 2 years stay and 1 year FT job.Kahit anong jobs daw pwede,kahit multiple PT jobs as long as 35hours or more per week.

Balitaan nyo naman po ako sa progress nyo po.

God bless.Paki msg po # nyo po

Thanks ulit.

@gracee

@fgs May question lang po sana ako ulit. Do I need to take the ielts again when i apply for visa 887? Thank you

No need for ielts test..only proof of living in regional SA and working at least 1 year FT

axln · September 2015

In our case 496 naman ang provisional visa namin with the same pre-req for 887. Ang question ko lang is it possible for the primary applicant to leave aus for 2 weeks before lodging application for 887. Ma-extend lang ng 2 weeks before the primary applicant can lodge? Ex. Initial entry was 30 march 2014 planning to lodge around last week of April 2016. Appreciate your inputs. Thanks.

slamania102 · December 2015

Hi, regarding sa 2 years minimum stay sa designated area, may idea po ba kayo kung kelgan continuous yung stay? First entry ko po kasi is august 2013. Pero in and out ako ng au. Hope may mkapag advise po.

fgs · December 2015

@slamania102 depends on how long you stayed out of Australia. I supposed they allow up to a certain max number of days (total) within that 2 years..otherwise you have to delay

gracee · December 2015

Anyone here who knows the maximum number of days allowed to stay outside regional area within the 2 years requirement?

fgs · December 2015

@gracee if only for vacations it dont matter as long as your usual residence is in regional area

Malaine · June 2016

Hi,

We also hold a 489 visa since December 2014. Dpa kami mka move ng Oz till now, nag initial entry lang kami ni hubby last year. Question ko po is paano kung not enough ung years of stay namin like we fall short of few months para mafulfill ung 2 years requirement anu po pwedeng option pra mkaapply ng 887? Or any other visa na applyan nmin pra mkpag stay. Hope someone can shed us some light. Nasa Dubai pa kasi kami and wala pa ung visa ng baby nmin sebsequent entrant.

ajet02 · June 2016

@Malaine I think you still need to fulfill the two-year period prior to applying 887 from a 489 visa. Otherwise, you may have to apply for another visa (e.g. 189, 190) after your 489 expires. Sa palagay ko, kung pupunta ka dito before December 2016 eh may chance pa na ma fulfill mo yung 2 year stay assuming your visa is valid until December 2018. About naman sa work, any work will do as long as you have 35hr/wk job (either one job or combined) for atleast one year.

datuzero · June 2016

para po sa mga nag apply na from 489 to 887, mandatory po ba or required na kumuha ng personal Heatlh Insurance?

Malaine · June 2016

@ajet02 thanks po. Sana nga mkapunta na kami before December ngayon taon. Medyo nakakatakot pala magsimula ulit..hehe tapos wala kami kakilala pagdating. Bahala na si Lord.

Nope..di sya mandatory...bibigyan ka ng 1 year to decide. Pag di ka kumuha ok lang bat if you decide na kumuha later(beyond the 1 year grace period to decide) papatawan ang premium mo ng addtl 2% per year( for those with age more than 30)...to simplify :-), kung 35 years old ka na and you decide to get private health insurance, bale ang idadagdag sa premium mo is 10% ((35-30) x 2%), so kung ang regular na premium don sa kukunin mo is $100, $110 ang sisingilin sayo.. For 10 years yong dagdag na 10%...yong mga PR na suggested na di na kumuha kasi the same din pero nasa saiyo yan. Ang usual kasi na sasabihin ng insurance company is pag may private insurance ka, di na kailangan ang waiting period kasi nga posibleng magaantay ka ng turn mo to be cured sa govt hospital.
