    @mav14 may isa pa po ako option. initially plan namin ni bf same visa 189 ang aaplyan namin. may nagsuggest na pwede isa sa amin na lang mag apply tapos de facto ung isa. parang bitbit lang makikiasakay sa visa nung main applicant. same visa grant din daw naman. if ma approve sa skilled migrant pareho ganun din si de facto. tama po ba? tapos mas ok kasi isa na lang magtake ng exam at assessment. tapos less bayad pa kasi iisang visa na? though challege dun wala kasmi shared accout etc. pics , plane tickets , at mga txt messages or call lang.

    I've just called immi, meron daw silang tinatawag na caretaker period because it's election and maraming kailangang ifinalize so just expect delays with the visa processing.

    Thanks sa updates sis @Cassey!

    @MayoMay if both kayo skilled (since initially balak nyo both magapply individually), apply kayo as partner for the partner points na 5 points. Both of you will have to get assessed and take IELTS, but the 5 addtl points you will get will be worth the while. And I think mas pabor nila ito knowing na in 1 application 2 skilled workers ang makukuha.

    @MayoMay Sorry, medyo nalito ako. Akala ko ang pinag-uusapan natin yung pagsama ng dependents sa visa application. Anyway, tama yung feedback nung ibang forum members about your de facto option.

    @dddrew Based sa feedback ng friend ko na headhunter sa Sydney, Jun-Aug and Mid Nov-Jan ang medyo slow ang hiring
