Initial Entry Deadline

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@jvframos naabutan ka rin visa increase..My dependent ka din?

jvframos · July 2013

@rachelle_gan2, oo inabutan ako kasi july 14 na kami nakapaglodge ng visa application. yung vetassess kasi june 22 na dumating ang result so di na talag umabot before the deadline.

AU$6120 na yung fee for the whole family w/ 2 kids.

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@jvframos sayang naman.. feeling ko aabot pa cya kung thet day pag ka receive mo ng ielts apply eoi at WA state agad.. sayang ung fees..

Samin parehas din tau ng babayaran.. i have 2 kids din kasi. $ 6120 Aud din plus agent then.. Sakit sa bangs.. ang mahal talaga..pero ok na rin para sa mga bata na rin kasi atleast libre ung school sa au. Ok lang yan sis.. Good investment ika nga..

jvframos · July 2013

@rachelle_gan2 sakit talaga sa bulsa yun nga lang magandang future naman ang kapalit for the kids. ang naihabol lang namin before july 1 deadline is young direct WA SS application.

wala pang balita sa CO namin, di pa nageemail agent ko. paglabas ba ng visa nyo fly na kayo agad sis?

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@jvframos Yan talaga ung pinag iicipan ko ng mabuti.. kung mag kakajob offer naman agad syempre go na go na. Pero kung pupunta agad ng wala pang offer mukhang hindi ko pa masasagot kasi in fairness naman kay SG sobrang maganda naman ung blessing na binigay samin ng work ni hubby..Tsaka ung worry ko kasi meron pako 1 yr old pag dating namin dun malamang d ako makakapag work baka mahirapan ako.. dto sa sg atleast my yaya.. doon walang yaya kaya ang hirap talaga.. Baka mag IED muna kami tapos palakihin ko muna c baby tapos un saka ko na icipin un.. ang importante pag my visa na anytime pde na pumunta..

Pero kung my job offer na maganda naman para kay hubby, ok lang na plain house muna ako sa au..

5 yrs old and 1 yr old ung bunso ko.. sobrang baby pa.. ung sau ba? malalaki na?

jvframos · July 2013

naku oo malalaki na mga anak ko, 13 y/o and 16y/o kaya malaki na talaga gastos namin. plan namin if granted na, on our EID, punta kami lahat then maiwan na dun si hubby at yung eldest ko. maghahanap na work si hubby then si daughter ko magsccout na ng university para dun na sya magcollege while kami ng bunso ko babalik Dubai para may pangsupport muna kami sa sa kanila while nandun sila. mahirap magrisk na pareho kami naghahanap ng work at walang pumapasok na income.

ditto muna ko sa Dubai at ipon ipon muna. maganda naman work namin dito tapos tax free pa, hinabol lang talaga namin yung mas magandang future sa Aus... like you, grateful din ako sa dubai. punta kami ng Aus pag magkawork na dun si hubby. plan pa lang naman. sarap mangarap noh. sana granted na yung visa :-)

rara_avis · July 2013

@rachelle_gan2 SG-based din kami and ganyan din plan namin ni Husband... yung baby ko mag-1 year old pa lang next month so gusto ko muna at least 2 years old sya bago iwan sa child care sa AU. Pareho din kasi kami nagwowork. Plan namin mag-initial entry sabay bakasyon, check din namin kung sa Sydney ba or Melbourne kami mag-settle.

After mag-initial entry meron din bang deadline kung kelan ka dapat mag-settle? A friend told me that within 5 years daw dapat permanently living ka na sa Australia. Can anyone confirm?

rachelle_gan2 · July 2013

@rara_avis yes sis atleast pag ka tapos mo mag entry 5 yrs naman ung validity ng pr. Kaso pag sinagad mo yan mahihirapan ka sa renewal kasi ang PR makaka pag renew ka if atleast 2 yrs ka ng continuos working sa AU. kaya dapat pag ka 2nd yr talaga ng PR punta kana AU. No choice talaga or else ka ka ma rerenew.

Kaya plan ko after ma grant ng visa hanap agad work para lay hubby para atleast isa samin my work. pde na lumipat. kahit housewife na muna.

Bonding with the kids. Mahal ang childcare sa AU at lalong walang nanny..

We went thre last yr. Gaya ng iba sobrang na inlove then ako sa lugar.. pinuntahan namin ang brissy, melbourne at sydney. c hubbybgusto sydney, ako naman Melbourne.. Pero kahit san ok lang basta kung saan ung work.

Girl matanong ko lang, March kapa ng EOI pero July kana na invite.. prang ang tagal.. ilang points ba kau? Kinabahan tuloy ako kasi kami sakto lang 60 points..

rara_avis · July 2013

@rachelle_gan2 ano naman sis ang nagustuhan mo sa melbourne at nagustuhan ni hubby sa sydney? bakit sa brisbane ayaw nyo?

regarding sa eoi, yung occupation ko kasi ubos na ang slots january pa lang so nag-antay pa ako ng july para marefresh ang ceiling. ayun kaya recently lang ako na-invite.

hi @Phil_Sing_Au, meron ngayon sale sa Malaysia Airlines. You might want to consider it para makabook na kayo ng family mo. Please note na hanggang July 31 na lang ang promo.

Inquire na kayo para hindi naman ganun kamahal ang bayaran nyo. especially family pa kayo

icebreaker1928 · July 2013

Hi guys, i am in dilemma right now. End of August ang dedline ng IED namin pero until now dko pa rin na book ng ticket ang family ko. Wala kasi ako nakukuhang accomodation. Haiz sana naman meron dyan may magandang kalooban na willing mag pa stay sa amin kahit 1 week lang. Meron kasi ako 1 yr old baby eh, worried ako sa kanya lalo na ngayun winter pa. Nang hihinayang naman ako kung di sila makapag entry. WA nga pala destination namin.

kahit saan sa AU, pede ka mag IED... kung namamahalan ka, punta muna kayo Darwin, book a hotel, tour muna kayo dun ng ilang araw, tapos balik din agad... sayang ang VISA sir pag inabutan ng IED.

I can't understand why you were not able to book tickets just because of accommodation concerns; that should not be problem I guess...

Ang malaking problema now is (1) mahal na ang tickets as you much depart no later than 2 months from now and (2) if you can't go by end August, then it is goodbye to the Australian dreams.

All the best to you!

same sentiments here ... kami when travelling we book the plane tickets ahead sometimes 8 months prior to travel ... then we go for accomodation on succeeding month .. d naman kailangan ipagsabay masakit sa bulsa ...

if I were you book the earliest flight going to AU then worry the accomodation after, kung mag IED ka naman inde kailangan na WA talaga pwede naman sa Sydney na muna kayo mag IED or other states

ANyway Good Luck

BoyPintados · August 2014

Mga kapatids, question:
is this true enough?
"Health and police clearances are valid for 12 months from the date of completion/issue. In some circumstances medicals may be valid for a lesser period (for example, if you are subject to a health undertaking requiring you to report to health authorities on arrival in Australia). Whichever of these clearances expires first will determine the "initial entry date" by which you must have entered Australia.

If you have obtained your health and police clearances so far in advance that they expire during processing, or are likely to expire so soon after decision that the initial entry date would not be viable, it is open to your case officer to require you to obtain new health and police clearances. Your case officer will determine the best course of action during processing."

yung police clearance sa Pinas expires in 6 months from date of issue diba?

cholle · August 2014

BoyPintados · August 2014

Mine too... sa medical...

hida_berserker · February 2017

Question, how does the IED get determined? Because we plan to submit our application this year for the AU visa by April or May 2017, but for example I still have a contract to fulfill with my current company for until Aug 2019. So what is the usual IED when the AU visa is granted? (for example i am granted the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) this year, say Aug 2017)

tweety11 · February 2017

@hida_berserker normally 12months after ng date ng medical or police clearance, whichever is earlier. May mga special cases (like pag may some medical condition) na 6months lang bininigay.
