@rayortinez what do u mean po by sarilinan. If tama po pagkakaintindi ko 489 visa relative sponsor kapag nakareceive ka ng ITA need mo magprovide ng evidence na relative kau may mga documents na kelangan iprovide ni relative sponsor such sa Birth Cert., PR or citizenship paper kung san siya nakatira, work nya etc etc.

BTW yan ung sa case ko po jist receive my ITA last Oct 4 for 489(RS) pero ndi pa ako naglolodge mg application patapusin ko lang ung buwan na ito den decide ka ako if ilodge ko na. May 190 rin kasi ako inaantay

Au_Vic · October 2017

@rayortinez hi, depende kc kung anu ung time frame na ibig sabihin mo ng matagal? may mga occupation kc na naka-cap like accountants, IT and some engineering professions so kung ung nominated occupation ay isa sa mga yun mejo matagal kc depende sa points etc.

in your brother's case, since ung 489 nya is relative sponsor at sa pagkaka-alam ko hindi kasama sa capped occupation ang civil engineer then he may get invited agad once na magsubmit kau ng EOI. ilang points ung brother mo with your sponsorship?

si @jomar011888 na-invite recently lang and alam ko parang engineering ung occupation nya not sure which one. Ganu katagal bago ka na-invite @jomar011888 after mo magsubmit ng EOI for relative sponsor?

@rayortinez below is the link nung most recent EOI invitation ng immigration including ung list ng occupations na naka-cap

@rayortinez no worries mate. yep, i guess you have to give it a shot and do it the soonest possible time coz we do not know if there will be changes in the near future. cheers!

jomar011888 · October 2017

@rayortinez ahh kayo po pala yung sponsor bale ung sa akin po sep 26 ako nagsubmit ng eoi for 489(FAM) tapos oct 4 po ako nakareceive ng ITA...kelan po nagsubmit ng eoi ung brother niyo? Electrical engr po occupation ko

jomar011888 · October 2017

@Au_Vic sep 26 po ako nagsubmit ng eoi for 489 (FAM) then oct 4 ko narecive ITA. Electrical Engr po ung occupation ko

jomar011888 · October 2017

@rayortinez ahh for assessment pa po siya ng EA? One month lang po un may result na may fast track skills assessment ang EA sige po all the best po

cacophony · October 2017

Pwede po ba mag lodge ng EOI for 489 even if no relative in any state? I'd like to grab this opportunity. Currently have 189 and 190 lodged pa lang po.

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@cacophony pwede as long as open yung state for your occupation at na meet mo yung requirements nila.

Au_Vic · October 2017

@cacophony tama si @Hunter_08 . you can as as long as your occupation is the included in the occupation list ng state na yun at na-meet mo yung requirements then you can apply.

two streams kc ang 489 visa, ung relative sponsor at state sponsor.

anung occupation mo? I looked at your timeline mejo ilang months ka na din nagaantay ng ITA.

Au_Vic · October 2017

@jomar011888 so isa ka dun sa 52 na nka-receive ng ITA for 489 RS last 3-October. hindi kc kasama ung electrical engineer sa naka-cap na occupation. Electronics engineer ung kasama.

Are you still thinking if you will go with 489? lodge mo yan para tumatakbo na ang time at ng makapag move ka na dito sa Melbourne soon.

we've had crazy weather here, been warm the past few days and I reckon it will be cold again in the coming days but Melbourne is melbourne four seasons in a day..lol

cacophony · October 2017

@Au_Vic @Hunter_08 Thanks po. Will check VIC for it. Mechanical engineer po occupation ko pro rata kasi kaya mejo matatagalan pa talaga. E gusto ko na lisanin ang bansang ito. Magbabakasali rin sa 489 hehehe. Nag-lodge po ako ng 189 last Sept 27th and 190 last Oct 5th po.

daye00 · October 2017

Hi po @Au_Vic question lang po, meron po ba show money or proof of funds sa relative sponsor visa 489? Kung meron po may idea kaba if hm? Thank you in advance

malt · October 2017

Hello @Au_Vic pwede po malaman ano ang benefits ng 489 sa family? Meron din po ba sya katulad ng sa 190, like yung sa child benefits, medicare etc?

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@malt hindi covered ng visa 489 ang medicare at child benefits. yung studies naman dipende sa state merong state na libre pa din ang tuition fee for 489 visa holder.

malt · October 2017

@Hunter_08 sir, hindi po ba mahirap ang life sa oz kung under ng 489 visa?

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@malt I think it will be the same lang naman maski 189/190 visa kasi sa ngayon hindi na ganun kadali makahanap ng work dahil sa sobrang daming applicant lalo na sa mga major states like NSW at VIC madaming competition. ang pinagkaiba lang naman ng 489 visa is hindi sya permanent visa agad unlike 189/190. you need at least 2 years to stay on a specific state and render 1year of full-time work or part-time(equivalent hours to full-time).

malt · October 2017

@Hunter_08 thank you sir. meron po ba dito successful from 489 to PR or citizen na

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@malt madami na po.. you can refer to this thread http://pinoyau.info/discussion/8861/489-visa-to-887#latest

malt · October 2017

@Hunter_08 thanks again sir

Au_Vic · October 2017

@daye00 nope! Walang show money or proof of funds for 489 relative sponsor

Au_Vic · October 2017

@malt to answer yung 1st question mo, there is no medicare and centrelink benefits for 489 visa holders

Mahirap in what sense? As long as you have a job and you will live a lifestyle that you can afford then I think walang issue pero kapag wala kang work kahit anung visa type mo or even kaming locals e mahihirapan ka talaga.

In my own opinion di hamak na mas mahirap ang buhay ng mga nka student visa dito dahil sa limited working hours kaya mahirap for them na humanap ng work unlike with 489, you can work full time and no restriction sa hours.

Yung medicare and centrelink benefits lang nmn kc ung di maaavail ng 489 pero in my case, I am a local and been living in australia for ages pero never pa ako nag-claim ng centrelink benefit. Medicare, yes nagaavail ako pero ilang beses ka ba sa isang taon magkasakit? believe me, karamihan ng locals dito very rare gamitin ang medicare unless may sakit ka or cguro kung may kids ka na sakitin plus most of us here have private health insurance for tax purposes.

This is the key, if you and/or your partner has a job you will be able to survive, live a very decent life compared sa life sa pinas.

Maybe I need to create a separate thread sa forum explaining about 489 kasi marami ng nagtanong before about sa 489 like mahirap ba makahanp ng work, limited ba ung hours, etc. para maliwanagan ung ibang kababayan natin.

I hope I have given you some ideas sa sagot ko.

billie_1584 · October 2017

hello! iinquire ko lang po approved na yung visa 489 namin ng family ko..ask ko lang po if need pa ba namin umattend ng seminar sa cfo before kami magmigrate ?kasi nung nag-initial entry naman kami sa au hindi kami hinanapan

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@billie_1584 no need na kasi yung cfo is for PR visa.

malt · October 2017

@Au_Vic ....WoW! Thank you po for the very detailed explanation. Atleast ngayon, clear na saming mag asawa ang 489visa.

Thanks again! Looking forward sa new 489 thread. >:D<

Hunter_08 · October 2017

@Au_Vic you mentioned regarding sa "private health insurance for tax purposes", if ever ba na kumuha ka ng private health insurance has lilt young tax mo?

jomar011888 · October 2017

@Au_Vic yup isa po ako sa nainvite via 489 sa date na nabanggit. Desisyunan ko po by first week of November pero dream city ko po talaga ang Melbourne noon pa man hahahahaha God's will and provision po

arishiel · October 2017

hi @Au_Vic and @AIR.. Salamat sa pag-check ng occupation ko sa SA SS. and for pushing all us to try 489. Hindi ko talaga pinalampas ung opportunity na maka-apply agand. Sobrang unexpected ko talaga ung DG right after a month ng visa lodged (1 thought mga 5-mos pa ako maapprove) and to @Hunter_08 sa walang sawang pagsagot sa mga query ko sa PM.
salamat ng marami.

cacophony · October 2017

Guys, may issue po ba yung pabagu-bago ng EOI? Well di naman po talaga changes, more of addition lang. I lodged my 189 kasi nung Sept 27th, 190 nung Oct 5th and now I want to add 489 kaso nag-aalangan ako baka isipin ng DIBP agent pabagu-bago isip ko :S

Au_Vic · October 2017

@Hunter_08 mejo mahirap i-explain yung buong details baka kc ma-confuse ka pero high-level, technically, medicare is not free coz we pay a medicare levy during tax lodgement, there is another component that is called medicare levy surcharge that is on top of the medicare levy which we need to pay to the govt so govt suggests that people should get private health insurance to get more health benefits and get exemption on the surcharge.

I think medicare levy and medicare levy surcharge may mga conditions yan like annual income, age, etc. so not sure kung yung mga low income earners or retirees ay required to pay.
