romel78 · January 2017

@Kris_New nakuha ko rin agad yung COC ko after ng fingerprint. Sandali lang maghintay. FYI.

tweety11 · January 2017

@Kris_New no need to wait for the email. Automatic na approved na yun after payment. Nagbook na ako ng fingerprint right after magbayad.

Hi Guys, I went to Respall earlier today and the whole assessment and guide fee is around P500k good for 2, plane tickets

Mukhang DIY na nga lang po, so if possible please help po pag may questions :-)

auitdreamer · January 2017

@Dragonaire Naku pinaka expensive talaga si Respall!

auitdreamer · January 2017

Halos kaka lodge ko pa lang ng visa pero talagang nakakabaliw talaga mag antay ng resulta. Hahaha! Inaantay ko ding mag clear yung medical namin ni hubby. Praying na makakuha tayo lahat ng direct grant!

May friend din pala ako na kakaalis lang for Au. Nakakuha sya ng 189 visa and sabi nya na may live and work rights din yun for New Zealand. May makakaconfirm ba nito? Wala kasi akong naaalala na ganun sa mga benefits ng visa 189.

Dragonaire · January 2017

@auitdreamer Kaya nga po nabigla ako

Sige po ask ko gather na ako docs for ACS assessment. How about resume po ba? Possible po ba makahingi ng sample australian standard resume?

tweety11 · January 2017

@Dragonaire tanong tanong ka na nga lang dito. Madami naman sumasagot. Ang mahal ng agency grabe.

Visa requirements for Australian citizens and permanent residents traveling to New Zealand
Australian citizens and permanent residents do not usually require a visa for travel to New Zealand, unless they are a person with significant character issues as described in Sections 15 and 16 of the Immigration Act 2009.

Provided they enter New Zealand on a valid passport, Australian citizens and permanent residents will normally be granted a resident visa at the airport to stay in New Zealand.

@Dragonaire im assisted by ACN and their PF is very reasonable...just my opinion po. But DIY would really save you a lot of money..

Dragonaire · January 2017

@Teng10 Hi, ACN? Same as respall po ba?

2pe · January 2017

Pajoin na din po.

@Dragonaire , base sa mga nagsshare dto sa forum mas mababa daw fee ng ACN vs Respall. I can PM you one quotation of ACN if you're interested. Nag-agent din ako but neither from both. Yung nirefer po sakin na agent is mas mababa pa din ang charge nya from ACN and Respall (that is as of 2016, not sure kung nagtaas n sya ng fee). My agent is a bit popular din dto sa pinoyau. I can PM you the contact details in case you're interested din. I'm not getting any referral bonus here. Bka lang makatulong sa mga kasama natin na mas makatipid ng konti sa mga wala masyadong time mag DIY....

Bro, you can check out this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hDMwZx2ba47Fe-pwKOgzNOYKbjSmqLOXAbsDvCEfWyY/edit#gid=2057441735

Yan lagi ko chinecheck for the updates. Mas madali din makita status/trends kc summarized na sya.

Di pa ko naiinvite, waiting padin. Pero based sa data ng table at dahil na din pro-rata na yung occupation group natin, mabagal ngayon ang movement ng ITA release lalo na sa mga below 70pts.

I just used my normal CV for submission to ACS. Baka may ibang makakasagot pero wala naman atang Australian standard na kelangan.

auitdreamer · January 2017

@greatsoul thanks! Good news yan! At least mas maraming opportunity.

Teng10 · January 2017

@auitdreamer @dragonaire i have some sort of format used..i can send tonight if needed..just pm m your email add.

auitdreamer · January 2017

Medicals cleared today! Waiting game na for grant! Lord, sana DG! [-O<

chehrd · January 2017

buti ka pa @auitdreamer nakapag-lodge na..dito sa Nationwide Cebu, ok na results namin but ang tagal i-upload ng doc..busy pa daw..everyday nalang ako tumatawag..hahayy..

PCK · January 2017

Hi guys, napansin ko ung iba nagpapamedical na before mag lodge. Ano advantage pag ganyan? Additionally, pwede ba mamili ng medical center? Nakita ko kasi sa st.lukes bgv na may info sila na required na nakapaglodge na muna bago mag medical.

Dragonaire · January 2017

@2pe Hello, sige po pa PM ako. Massive Thank you

Dragonaire · January 2017

@Teng10 Thank you po

, mine is [email protected]

freakazaa · January 2017

@PCK Pag may medical results ka na before ka mabigyan ng CO, may chance na ma direct grant ka instead of aantayin mo yung CO na i-advise ka mag medical (which is required naman talaga anyway).

Nung nagpa-medicals kami sa BGC, di pa ko nakakapag-lodge. Ni-provide ko lang yung na-generate ko na HAP ID through MyHealth Declarations.

DrAgKurt · January 2017

@auitdreamer congrats!! Malapit ka na.

Dragonaire · January 2017

@PCK Hello po, san po kayo nakaavail ng reviewer for PTE?

2pe · January 2017

Guys, sorry for this question, ano2 po ba yung diff. types ng grants? I can see here that everyone's praying for a direct grant... Meron po bang indirect grant or any other grants? TIA. All the best!

tweety11 · January 2017

Sana by this month makareceive na tayong lahat ng grant haha.

@2pe direct grant lang (no additional docs requested; first email na marereceive grant na) at "normal grant" (with CO contact asking for additional docs)

*imbento ko lang yung term na"normal grant" hehe. Basta di direct grant.
