Big move ko na po this month under 489 @Au_Vic and @fgs , ano po ilalagay sa immigartin card sa airport na reason for hoing to australia? Usually kasi vacation diba or leisure, pero pag ganito po, MIGRATION ba dapat? And also kahit 1 month pa muna ako sa sydney at magvivist sa sister ko, MIGRATion pa din ba? Adelaide po kami after magbakasyon sa sydney.

Also, tama po ba one way lang ticket namin, Manila to Sydney. Then need po ba ipakita ko na din ticket ko dito palang sa Pilipinas yung Sydney to Adelaide? Or no need po? Natatakot kasi ako magkamali mali e kaya nagtatanong po ako hehe

Tapos sa pila po sa immigation sa airport, san po ba dun, diba may mga tourists, may mga immigrants , san pi ba dun?

Migration will do sa arrival card...just carry a print out of your visa in case, minsan di alam ng mga nasa immigration or airline. No need to show a ticket going to Adelaide. You shouldnt be required also by phil immigration ng PDOS kasi hindi PR ang visa mo.

Thank you @fgs for answering all my questions!

Possible po ba makakuha ng apartment without a job yet? Nag hahanap kasi ako sa airnbnb pero mas mahal kasi talaga kaya aiming sana ako makakuha na ng apartment. Nakareceive na ako ng form kasi nag inquire ako sa realestate.au

It all depends sa owner ng property pero usually mas preferred nila na may work. Yong security din kasi nila and usually maraming applicants, so don sila sa may continuous income.

Hi Au_Vic,
Question po about 489. Yung wife ko ay may relative sa Sydney na PR na. Kelangan ba yung wife ko ang maging main applicant? At kapag na grant ang visa na to. Kelangan ba sa same area din kami mag reside?

Salamat in advance

@markedino relative sponsored ba ang 489 nyo sir? bawal maging sponsor ang isang relative pag sa sydney sya nakatira. Kailangan designated area.

Hi,

It depends kung san sa sydney/NSW. For 489 family/relative path, the sponsor must live in a "designated area" classified by immigration. Below is the link for you to see kung ung post code ng relative mo sa NSW is listed. If listed as designated area, then he/she can sponsor you with 489 provided your occupation is in the occupation list of NSW.

cheers!

"relative" as per immigration...

Your sponsor can be your or your partner’s:

parent or step-parent
child or step child
brother or sister (including adoptive or step brother or sister)
aunt or uncle (including adoptive or step aunt or uncle)
niece or nephew (including adoptive niece or nephew)
grandchild or first cousin

Hello po sa lahat!

Ask ko lng po kung ano ang usual time frame na makakatangap ka ng invite? Lodged our EOI for visa 489 (state sponsored) for South Australia. Nominated occupation is Developer Programmer. And mas may chance bah na ma invite thru this path if short of points than visas 189 and 190?

Salamat po sa sasagot.

agd · September 2017

@dutchmilk Hi. Nag-apply na po kayo ng sponsorship sa SA website?

dutchmilk · September 2017

@agd opo. Nagbayad na din ng aud200.

agd · September 2017

@dutchmilk if I'm not mistaken nasa around 55pts po kayo? si @Hunter_08 same po sa inyo. Kaya lang sa Tasmania ata sya.

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

Hello @dutchmilk share ko lang base from my personal experience, naka receive ako nang ITA from SA exactly 10 days after ko ma lodge and pay yung application sa SA website. Sa FAQ sa website nila it will take within 3 weeks, so it could be +/-

dutchmilk · September 2017

@agd 60 pts po c hubby (without state sponsorship pts)

dutchmilk · September 2017

@SophieMaddie38 hello po! Into ICT din po bah kayo? At nasa SA na po kayo ngayon?

agd · September 2017

@dutchmilk Hintay nalang po kayo, based sa mga nababasa ko kaagad naman nag-iinvite si SA. Same situation po kami ng hubby nyo, 60pts lang pero di muna ako nagpush ng 489 for now.

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

@dutchmilk wala pa, mag la lodge pa lang nang ITA after ma complete yung medical, hindi ako sa ICT, if under ACS ang nag assess required total points including the state sponsorship is 70pts para ma invite.

dutchmilk · September 2017

@agd sana nga ma invite na this time. Nag lodge na kc kami ng EIO for 190 last march kaso until now no ITA yet so our agent suggested na mag 489 nalang. Pro rata kc yung nominated occupation ni hubby.

dutchmilk · September 2017

@SophieMaddie38 ic. Opo total of 70pts c hubby including state sponsorship. Hopefully ma invite na this time. Though target sana namin 190 kaso wala eh so 489 nalang.

agd · September 2017

@dutchmilk may I ask kung anong agency nyo po? Mukhang yan nga din magiging option din namin if ever di magkaron ng ITA this year.

dutchmilk · September 2017

@agd OCSC Global Pte Ltd

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

@dutchmilk don't worry basta ma meet mo yung special requirement sa SA ma iinvite din kayo, last ko na check low avail na yung sa developer sa SA and hope makakuha na kayo nang invite soon! Kami din prefer namin is 190 kaso wala na sa offshore. With all the changes kasi recently mahirap na magsayang nang oras baka mawalan na nang chance next time kaya kahit 489 go na din kami, eventually naman magiging PR din in God's perfect time.

dutchmilk · September 2017

@SophieMaddie38 sana nga talaga. So after maka receive ng invite, lodge visa na yung susunod dba? Ano nga pala mga requirements needed? You mentioned nag medical ka pa. Pati din bah yung show money need na rin?

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

@dutchmilk yes kapag may ITA na next na yung pag lodge nang visa at requirements, yung sa medical pinili namin na mag pa medical na on our own accord kesa hintayin pa yung request nang CO, plan kasi namin i front load na lahat nang documents hoping mapabilis and maka kuha nang direct grant.

Sa mga documents naman ito mga hinanda namin base sa checklist.

Transcript and Diploma
Birth Certificate
CV
PTE Result - Me and my wife
COE - for nominated occupation
NBI Clearance and SG COC
Passport
Payslips and Bank Statement
Skills Assessment - For me and my wife
IRAS
SG Employment Pass / Drivers License - ID documents
Marriage cert / house contract / bills- to prove marriage to spouse
Kids DP Pass and Passport
Form 80
Form 1221

Not sure baka may na miss out ako.

dutchmilk · September 2017

@SophieMaddie38 ic po. Salamat sa list.

Tanong ko lng din. Kc pinas based kami ni baby at c hubby lng nag wowork dito sa SG. So I believe sa pinas na kami mag memedical? At yung mga docs na needed from me are passport and nbi lng bah? Coz c hubby naman ang main applicant at cya lng nag pa assess at nag IELTS. And if its not too much to ask, pasensya na po. Ano po yung forms 80 and 1221?

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

@dutchmilk no worries, nagtanong tanong lang din ako din sa mga helpful members and very informative talaga tong forum, yes jan na kayo papa medical siguro, sa mga docs siguro proof of genuine relationship lalo na kung di kayo magkasama, di ko alam kung ano ibang pwede i provide esp kung magkalayo, ask natin ibang members dito ano ginawa nila.

Yung form 80 and 1221 if personal character / back ground history information form and declaration

dutchmilk · September 2017

@SophieMaddie38 ah ok po. Di bale may agent naman kami so cguro mag aadvise yun kung anong docs na dapat isubmit. Goodluck sa applications natin. Hope sa SA talaga tuloy natin. Makiki balita nalang po ako sa inyo. Thanks po. God bless!

SophieMaddie38 · September 2017

@dutchmilk no problem, tanong ka lang if ever and try ko masagot and makatulong base from my experience sa application namin. All the best and God bless sa application nyo.

Hi,

As per SA website, around 3 weeks processing pero SA is one of the most efficient state for processing SS. Hopefully you will get yours earlier than 3 weeks.

hi,

good decision to apply for 489 especially kung nasa ICT profession ung main applicant at mejo matagal na kaung nag-aantay ng invite for 190. ICT profession most of the time naka-cap at mataas ang required points for 189 at even SS. Better to get your visa and move here para di na kayo affected kpg may changes ang immigration.

Sang state kau naglodge ng 190?
