dominiqueg708 · July 2017

I lodged my visa last April 17, received an e-mail last May 23 stating that my papers are being processed and to wait for 8 weeks. Its been 8 weeks and no word from them. My agent followed up but we didn't get any reply. :-??

ulan889 · July 2017

@dominiqueg708 pano nyo follow up?nag email k?

dominiqueg708 · July 2017

@ulan889 nag e-mail yung agent ko but we're not expecting a reply. No replies rin kasi when they followed up for the other clients

BLOODYODIP · July 2017

@fedsquare salamat sa suggestion! malamang magmelbourne na nga kami since pare-parehas ang suggestions na nakukuha ko.

@dominiqueg708 anong office CO mo?. Adelaide or Brisbane?.. mukhang mas masipag ang adelaide sa immitracker.

My respect & salute to all who shared their time & idea & experience here. Congrats sa inyo na may grant na, especially those na DG.
Ask ko lng po:
1. About payslips na as evidence of paid employment, is it necessary na yung first and last month of employment ang i-attach? Yung last month ko kasi nagleave without pay na ako to comply my papers sa next employment ko, do I need to secure another certification from the HR about it?
2. In my EOI, 4 yung employments ko, 1 is not related, do I need to provide payslips dun sa not related?
3. In my assessment, may 2 employments pa ako (na 12-13 years ago na, di ko na nilagay sa EOI kasi in the past 10 years lng ang nkaindicate), do I also need to provide evidence of paid employment?
Maraming salamat po, may God reward your good heart.
...and all the time, God is good!

hi @AIR , im assuming you're in lodgement stage already. usually ang pinapasa nalang is kung ano yung pinasa nyo sa assessing body nung nagpaassess kayo. Now as additional, pwede rin magprovide ng sss contrib as proof kung hindi complete ang payslips.. i don't think dibp will assess those that aren't related to your nominated skill..

coachella9 · July 2017

@AIR kamusta, na nominate ka na?

vencel2017 · July 2017

Wala pa balita dyan.. ehehe.. mukhang 4 to 6/7 months na nga ata talaga ang processing.. so fellow April 2017 lodgers, mga 1 to 3 months more to wait.. Let us just hope for the best.. :-)

Re-posting. This might explain reason of processing delay.

Visa Wait Times to Increase Following DIBP Staff Cuts

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has confirmed that wait times for Australian visas and citizenship applications are only going to worsen, thanks to hundreds of staff cuts, a massive spike in the number of lodgements being made, and the ongoing shift to greater automation.

@dominiqueg708 ah adelaide. mas maraming silang approval nung mga nakaraan.
@fedsquare baka karamihan sa brisbane kinuha yung 355... hahaha

AIR · July 2017

@eujin yes preparing for visa lodgement. Copy that.
So confirm ko lang, magProvide ako ng evidence as lahat ng na-include sa ACS assessment ko except dun sa not related. Yung EOI ko kasi yung last 10 years lang ang na-include ko, but in my ACS assessment may actual 13 yrs na na-include (so yung 2 employments ko na almost 3 yrs, since more than 10 yrs in the past na, di ko na nilagay sa EOI).

Copy. Many thanks. Positive lang tayo lahat!!!
Salamat po sa info. May the Good Lord reward your good heart

dark_knight · July 2017

Hi again, not sure if this is the right thread but I'd ask anyway..

Me and my fiance are planning on migrating. Invite na lang ang iniintay kasi inulit ko para sure. We are planning to use the following as evidence:

certificate of residency from our condo corp
airline/travel itineraries of our trips
email threads of BPI fund transfers (wala kasi kaming joint account)
credit card statement, kasi supplementary ko sya
statutory declaration from her parents, our friends that we are in a continuous relationship and are living together
supplier contracts for our wedding (next year pa kasi) e.g. photo/video, events place, etc
pictures together

Tingin nyo enough na yan?

TIA! Sana magrant-an tayong lahat

eujin · July 2017

@AIR , ah related parin sa nominated mo yung almost 3yrs as per ACS' assessment..?
im in no position to tell how dibp assess, hmm..
pero as i've read here, you only provide evidence if your claiming points for that.. and since yung 10yrs lang yung nasa EOI mo,, i think your case should be fine.. icocross check lang naman nila sa acs assessment kung related talaga yung dineclare mo sa EOI .. its just a matter of making your claim stronger by giving them more evidence..
just make sure na lahat ng kineclaim mong points may evidence ka.. to avoid overclaim..

good luck..

Hello po, tanong ko lang po sana mga gano katagal makuha yung result ng medical? Diretso po ba sa Dibp ung result or may chance pa ko na makita?

MikeYanbu · July 2017

@PMPdreamer Based on my experience, sa Nationwide Cebu, after 4 days nakuha namin print out ng result at the same time they updated MyHealthDeclaration of the result na directly updated na din sa ImmiAccount.

Pag wala yatang bata na kasama mas maigsi ang waiting time ng result, kasi may Tubercullin Skin Test para sa mga bata na d applicable ang XRay...

para sa printout, iniupload ko na din sya sa Immiaccount ko under Health Declaration.

hope this helps.

Jan_ · July 2017

@PMPdreamer mine took 4 days.
They upload directly to DIBP. In my case, pumunta ako on the fourth day and asked for a copy of the results. Binigyan nmn ako results ng urine and blood test.

PMPdreamer · July 2017

Thanks @MikeYanbu and @Jan_

amoj · July 2017

@elained and @chuckiebhoi, kelan kayo nagsubmit ng EOI? May link ba kayo ng numbers per month (previous) ng Telco Professionals' invitations?

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@rosch hello. Thanks sa info. God bless

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@BLOODYODIP hello. I suggest both sydney and melbourne esp if you're still undecided where you will settle down. at least meron kayaong idea san nyo mas feel. Mararamdaman nyo naman un pag andun na kyo sa place. Kaya ung both places in 1 week

Here are my suggestions:

Melbourne

Great ocean road/12 apostles - 1 day. You can book pagdating na dun sa mga travel agency. Madami along flinder's street
Melbourne zoo - half day
City tour via City circle tram (free) - half day
St kilda beach (optional)
Where to stay: Along Flinder's street

Sydney

Opera house & Harbour bridge - half day
Botanic garden - half day
Sea life aquarium - half day
City tour - half day
Blue mountains - 1 day
Bondi beach (optional)
Where to stay: Potts Point

Suggested route:

SG to Melbourne via Jetstar (direct flight) or AirAsia (1 stop)

Melbourne to Sydney via Tigerair (1.5hrs) or Jetstar (1.5hrs)

Sydney to SG via scoot (direct flight) or airasia (1 stop)

Hindi naman lahat ng resto sa sydney mahal. Meron mga resto sa chinatown malapit sa CBD na mura lang ang food. If you want mas makamura pa may food din sa supermarket like Coles and Woolsworth. Pede dun bumili ng bread, spread, fruits, cereals etc for breakast. Meron din silang roast chicken so pedeng ganun na lang bilhin for dinner tas ung rice bili na lang sa 7-11.hehe

Mura lang ang flights within states of Oz. Ung Melb to Syd less than php3k lang one way. Ung cbd sa sydney pede lakarin papuntang harbour bridge and opera house pero mejo malayo kaya dapat comfy ung shoes

meron mga maps available sa airport. Kuha lang kyo sa stand.

From melbourne airport, pede mag mrt. From sydney airport, meron mga shuttle na mas mura ung bayad kesa taxi. Sa melbourne meron free tram around the city unlimited ride. Sa sydney meron mga bus and train pero mejo confusing ang train nila. Hindi ko gets ung train system nila.hehe

God bless sa inyo

elained · July 2017
