Hello guys, have a quick question. My bf has an au tourist visa and is currently waiting for 189 visa grant. Assuming nagfly kami au and while there, lumabas ang grant nia, will it be considered as his 1st entry? Thanks.

@fedsquare try nya icheck sa vevo status using his PR visa details pag natapat na nasa AU kayo pag nagrant PR visa. kung onshore nakalagay then considered as activated na PR visa.

Thanks @engineer20! Didnt know magchachange pla ito once nag 1st entry na. I'll see if mine changes pagdating nmen dun. Hoping na sana makuha ni bf yung sa knya while nandun kami.

Hello guys! Tatlo nabigyan ng grants today based on immitracker

Strader · May 2017

At least nababawasan ang mga waiting @albertus1982 .. excited na ako kung sino next dito sa forum. Sana yong matagal na naghintay ibigay na nila CO this month para happy. ^^

albertus1982 · May 2017

@Strader mejo exciting nga. Waiting game lang talaga. Sa mga nagbabalak pala mag BM, may idea ba kayo magkano dapat dalhin para habang naghahanap ng work may pang gastos? Ty

Superched · May 2017

@albertus1982 since SG based ka din I think atleast x2.5-3 of your current salary will get you 3mos in AU.. Pede din na use the logic na x3 of your current living expenses in SG plus a slight buffer.. cguro take note na din na importante ang buffer na 1month na baon kasi kapag nagkawork tayo sa AU kelngan pa natin magwait ng 1month to get our 1st salary

Strader · May 2017

@Superched di ako makarelate eh.. magkano kaya sa peso? Hehe

BLOODYODIP · May 2017

@MP1984 under ANZ Mig ako. pero hayaan ko nalang sila magupdate sakin baka pag magkaaccess ako dun, minu-minuto ako mapatingin. hahaha

albertus1982 · May 2017

@Superched oo nga, mga ganyang budget din nasabi sakin ng frend ko. Need talaga mag ipon ng malaki. Thanks!

saolmatt · May 2017

Hi All, I need help. Thank you.

I received an email today, i got an invitation from NSW. I checked NSW 190 Priority Skilled Occupation List (NSW 190 List) 2016-17, but my skill 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) is not on the priority list.

im confused if i should proceed to apply given that i was invited but im not on the priority occupation list?

MissOZdreamer · May 2017

@Superched @albertus1982 hello. Im guessing around 300k pesos ung good for three months? Tama po ba? Thanks

albertus1982 · May 2017

@MissOZdreamer yes tama po. Sabi ng frend ko mga 10ksgd nga. E kasama ko si misis so 20k. Shef anlaki. Hehehe

nehalem · May 2017

@MissOZdreamer @albertus1982 hi agree ako sa sinabi ni @Superched mga around 300K, pero depende kung ilan kayo sa family and kung makikishare kayo ng bahay. Pag kasi mag rerent ka ng whole unit medyo mas malaki yung gastos.

(1)Sharing

Accomodation/month (180 room/p.w) 720 ++ down payment + advance (if applcb)
Internet/Tubig/Ilaw 0
Transpo (train/bus) $7 per dayx30days 210
Food (groceries) 200
Household allow (bigas sabon etc) 200
Total 1,330 AUD or around 50K per month

(2) Whole Unit
- Accomodation/month (370/p.w) 1,480 ++ down payment + advance (if applcb)
- Internet/Tubig/Ilaw 250
- Transpo (train/bus) $7 per dayx30days 210
- Food (groceries) 200
- Household allow (bigas sabon etc) 200
  Total 2,340 AUD or around 87K per month
  
  Pag may baby or depende sa laki ng family baka mas malaki pa diyan.. estimated lang naman.
  
  You still need to prepare pag downpayment sa car, tapos allowance habang naghahanap ng work.

@saolmatt tuloy mo lang yan. you were invited under stream 2

saolmatt · May 2017

thanks @engineer20

sorry for the newbie question. pero ano yung stream 2?

thanks again.

nehalem · May 2017

@saolmatt hi, my understanding po NSW priority list e sa pagbibigay nila ng state sponsorship hindi sa visa application, since may invitation ka na tingin ko wala ng bearing yung. For visa priority list maybe this link helps

https://www.border.gov.au/about/access-accountability/service-standards/skilled-migration-visa-processing-times

my 2cents

engineer20 · May 2017

@saolmatt did you choose NSW as your sponsoring state sa EOI? kung oo, bakit?

MissOZdreamer · May 2017

@albertus1982 mejo mabigat nga pag family pero kaya yan

Tipid pa more, iwas shopping muna and pede din mag benta ng unused stuff

MissOZdreamer · May 2017

@nehalem thanks for sharing this info

sobrang helpful. Bakit pala zero ung internet/tubig/ilaw? Ksama ba un usually sa rent?
Grabe ang lake ng gastos sa visa processing pa lang tas mas malaki ang needed budget sa BM. Save pa more.hehe Di bale para naman ito sa future

pede din kung may friend or family sa aus maki tira muna for a while habang naghahanap ng work

Superched · May 2017

@Strader maganda yung breakdown ni @nehalem adjust mo nalang yung budget based sa no. of pax and living preferences e.g. renting whole unit dahil may dependents ka or kaya going for private rooms

@MissOZdreamer inclusive na commonly yung tubig/ilaw/internet kapag magrent ka ng private room sa fee.. pag whole unit naman, seperate mo babayaran

albertus1982 · May 2017

Thanks @nehalem sa info. @Superched @MissOZdreamer ipon pa more na

Si @Strader mukhang nakaipon na kasi ready to BM na

Good luck and God bless sating lahat

nehalem · May 2017

Just thinking aloud..

Maybe pwedeng iconsider yung mauna muna yung isa sa inyo, yun ang iniisip namin ni hubby if ever ma approve yung visa... para mas madali magadjust and mag focus sa paghahanap ng work. Good gauge na siguro yung 3 months to find a job pero sa totoo lang yung 2 weeks to 1 month noon baka adjustment period lang yun, based sa SG experience ika-2nd month lang talaga yung makakapag concentrate ko find a job.

Mga possible options pag may visa na

Scenario 1- Isa muna mauuna sa au> mag rent ng room>find a job>hanap ng house for rent, school for kids/family

Pros: mas matipid, less stress sa mga bata lalo na kung nagaaral sila malaking adjustment din kasi s bata yung new environment. Yung matitipid ay pwede ng pang down sa bahay if ever na magdecide na kayo kumuha ng housing loan

Cons: hindi mo makakasama spouse and/or family mo ng ilang months

Haha wala na akong time to write ung ibang scenario.. pang tanggal lang ng inip while waiting sa Visa.. cheers!
