Hello Everyone! I am just new here. I just received a visa grant on August 31 :D Very thankful na pinalad pa kami kasi 4 years in the making.

My husband and I are planning to fly to SA by January 2013. Iiwan muna si baby ng ilang months kasi natatakot kami baka mahirap maghanap ng work.

Kumusta naman po dyan? Mahirap ba ngayon maghanap ng work? Share naman po kayo.

Thanks

    Hello @LokiJr! Salmat sa pagsagot. Gustuhin ko man isama, baka hindi muna. Na diagnose na may mild autism ang aming little girl. Kaya mas maganda sanang halos wala ng aasikasuhin pag dating nya para d mahirapan mag adjust. Siguro mga 3 months lang bago siya sumunod.

    Malaki din kasi ang takot ko na baka di makakuha ng work agad eh kawawa naman siya.

    Hi! @migik22! Ganyan po ginawa namin sa anak namin, iniwan muna namin siya para makapaghanap kami ni hubby ng work. Pero bear in mind na nakakalungkot talaga pag di mo siya kasama. Especially pag aalis na kayo papunta dito and maiiwan siya, grabe parang madudurog ang puso mo. In my own experience, the first two weeks were the hardest kasi evertime we talked via video call sa skype umiiyak ung anak namin kaya ang hirap talaga, tiis tiis talaga. But now nakaka recover na siya pakonti konti, di na siya umiiyak, she is hoping na december na para makasunod na siya samin.
    Gooodluck!

    @migik22 - mag research ka rin nang mga support groups para sa mga may autism and their family. Gov, schools, at other organizations tumutulong para mapagaan ang situation, and it is all free.

    @mikaela01 mukhang madami ngang luha ang uubusin namin pag kami naman ang papunta dyan. Di bale ilang araw na lang December na. kumusta paghahanap ng work?
    @tita_vech opo nag re research din po ako ngayon.

    @hotshot - from what i undertand, madaming hindi ma enjoy like medicare and centerlink pag provisional ang visa subclass.

    @LokiJr no worries. Exciting pero very scary kasi maraming uncertainties.

    @mikaela01 correct! Ika nga prayers can move mountains

    Basta wag lang panghihinaan ng loob. Nothing is certain. Always remember esp pag nahihirapan ka, think of the reason why you wanted to migrate in australia.. And you are doing it for you and your family :)

    hello. just new to the forum but just want to add one advise @migik22. in our experience, medyo di nga madali makahanap ng work agad lalo dito sa SA kaya just try any work na available muna kasi very important talaga local experience. eventhough sometimes its not yet related to your occupation... coz employers somehow check on how you are able to relate with others and in OZ. thus, others get volunteer experience first. after having that on your resume, you become likely employable. good luck!
