pero halimbawa nag grant na PR ko at magbabakasyon ako sa pinas, syempre i dede-activate ang 457 visa ko. pagbalik ko dito sa AU tho PR visa na yung hawak ko na visa, hindi pa naman ako magsesettle agad. so pabalik balik pa din ako PH-AU,. yung tanong ko eh ndi kaya ako questionin ng immi dahil ndi na ako dadaan ng OWWA POEA tho trabaho pa din ang pinupunta ko dito sa AU, hindi pa yung migrate.
