  guys 485 visa processing is usually between 2 to 3 months but remember that holidays will be here soon so mag rest din yang mga CO natin...anyway don't you worry since all of you (primary and dependent) can work unlimited hours now and then it is stated in your acknowledgement email from DIBP that you will be on bridging visa A when your current visa (student visa) expires.....good luck and merry Christmas

  @janinlee Yes. All documents complete for Ahpra... waiting for it to come out nlng...
  
  For PR. yes.. Anytime we can apply for our PR as long we get our AHPRA registration. I am not getting any agent's help in applying. I did the research by myself. Malaki-laki dn save kasi. If you need information let me know. I can guide you through how to apply for PR.
  
  God speed! Sana lumabas na Ahpra natin as Christmas gift hehe

  Question po.. Pwede ba gamitin yung existing OSHC when you submit your application for visa 485 online? If not, ano insurance ang kinuha nyo for your application?

  May question po sana ako kasi magbabakasyon po ako sa Pinas from Jan 22-Feb23. Expiration po ng student visa ko ay March 17,2017. Magkakaroon po ba ako ng problem going back to AU? Sabi po kasi nung iba kong kakilla, need daw po ng 2 months visa validity bago makabalik ng AU.
  
  Balak ko po mag-apply ng visa 485 sa Dec after po marelease ang completion certificate.
  
  Sa tingin niyo po ba may magiging issue sa pagbalik ko sa AU? Sana po makareply po kayo. Thank you po.

  @cutie_rhach Hello kabayan, katatapos ko lang makumpleto yung requirements ko sa graduate visa ko. I got my working visa cover sa Medibank kasi pinakamura sila dito at the moment. Unlike OSHC, yung working visa cover e may option ka to pay monthly, forthnightly, quarterly and I am not sure kung pwede yung yearly. I chose monthly payments kasi mas mura, $197.90 lang per month for a family of 3. Sana makatulong itong info na ito. God bless to all Filipinos.
