malt · January 2018

hello everyone, meron napo bang nangyaring ganito"
nainvite sa qld under 489visa pero sa NT naka hanap ng work? makakapag file pa din kaya ng 887 after 2yrs? knowing na preho naman silang regional.
May nabasa ako dito sa forum under ng 190 sa ibang state nag work and stay. Pwede din kaya ito sa 489 visa?

Hello All, mag iinquire po sana ako baka may alam kayo na ganitong case:
1. For subsequent entrant visa (children ages 16-19 y/o)- mandatory po ba na magstudy sila sa au? Ang fees po ba is sa bracket ng international student or local student for both high school at college?
2. What if may subsequent entrant ka na 21 y/o and then pag mag aapply na ng 887 visa ang parents after 2 years ay lampas 23 y/o na, pano na po yung visa ng anak nya?

Thank you po sa mga sasagot and God Bless us all

Hi, regarding Southern Inland po,

May nakapost po kasi sa website nila ganito:

You must relocate to the Southern Inland Region within 90 days of your Visa being granted by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.

Applicants must live and work in the Southern Inland Region for a minimum of 2 years. Applicants are required to work full time in the Region for at least 12 months within that 2 year period. It is expected that the 2 year period is the first two years of your Visa.

Questions po,

1) Is this a new rule or has been existing long before?

2) Is this a strict compliance and would there be consequences if you have not relocate within 90days?

3) Meron na po bang hndi sumunod sa rule na to? Hehe. Personally parang maikli po kasi yung 90days kelangan andun na. Balak ko po sana (if papalarin), mag ttrabaho pa din sana ako sa current job for a few months para pandagdag sa budget..

1) Is this a new rule or has been existing long before? not really sure if this is new pero you really have to follow the rule.

2) Is this a strict compliance and would there be consequences if you have not relocate within 90days? very strict sila.

3) Meron na po bang hndi sumunod sa rule na to? Hehe. Personally parang maikli po kasi yung 90days kelangan andun na. Balak ko po sana (if papalarin), mag ttrabaho pa din sana ako sa current job for a few months para pandagdag sa budget..

best thing to do sir if hindi kapa sure, ipon ka muna then kapag oks kana saka ka mag apply.

@kitkat17 hi nurse ka din then nag lodge ka for 489? i mean pde pala i though kasi for 189 and 190 lanh tayo pde.....

lccnsrsnn · March 2018

Ang 489 visa holder ba pwedeng mag sponsor ng tourist visa ng relative? Yung long term tourist visa na multiple entries good for 3 years tapos 3 months maximum stay subclass 600. Nabasa ko kasi na PR tsaka citizen ang pwede. Pano kaya yung 489?

ajet02 · March 2018

@lccnsrsnn Why don't you try tourist visa 600? Di mo na kelangan mag sponsor but you can include yourself as immediate contact person sa Australia. That's what we did when we're still on 489. Hope this helps. Cheers

lccnsrsnn · March 2018

@ajet02 My husband and I are moving to Adelaide on a 489 visa. I’m asking kasi we want to sponsor my mother in law para makapunta sya doon on an extended visit pero she’s retired and walang source of income kung hindi yung support namin sa kanya. So she would need a sponsor para makarating sa Oz otherwise baka madeny kasi nga wala naman syang mga ITR/Payslip or even investments.

ajet02 · March 2018

@lccnsrsnn how old is your mother-in-law? Its ok to support her financially hindi mo kelangan ng source of income nya as long as may valid reason sya for an extended stay. I got my father here with only 50k pesos (kami na lang naghulog nun pambili nya ng plane ticket) on his bank account for his show money and nothing else wala rin sya source of income. Bakit pala sya extended stay? Does she has grandkids to look after? Kasi kung wala pa kayo anak better apply her a shorter stay visa otherwise mahihirapan kayo magjustify sa CO nyo.

lccnsrsnn · March 2018

@ajet02 Ah okay thanks. For the meantime yun na nga lang munang short term stay para di mahirapan. Thanks!

Au_Vic · March 2018

@lccnsrsnn for tourist purposes, get the normal tourist visa. immigration is generous in giving visas to parents. when i asked my mum to come over here, i only gave her invitation letter which she included in her visa application telling immigration that i will pay for all of her expenses whilst in australia and included 1 payslip to show that I am employed. She did not include any proof of income. she got 1 yr multiple entry visa, max stay of 3months. that's her first visa actually.

That visa has already expired and I'm going to get her another visa which is a 3 yr multiple entry

Hi everyone, Im sending my full application for southern inland, id like to ask for the certified copies, does it have to be a jp or can i get it certified from the chemist/pharmacist, it wasnt specified in the application process.thank you

kaloidq · March 2018

Hello! Started reading lang about 489 since im opening my other options para makapag AU. I passed na kasi my 189/70pts and 190/75pts pero wala pa din invite til now.

and madami ako nababasa here in the forum na nagaapply din 489. Please let me know if tama po pagkakaintindi ko regarding this visa.

- it is sponsored (state/relative). I have a sister who is a citizen and is now living in Sydney. So if i apply for this type of visa, relative sponsored po ang ittake ko.
- temporary visa, good for 4 years. but after living for 2 years with 1 year full time work, you may apply for a 887 visa para permanent resident ka na. then after some time dun kana makakapagapply for citizenship.
- i can still bring my family (wife and daughter). same with 189/190.
- i can work, my wife can work and my daughter can study with this visa. provided we stay in the specific state lang

If you can add some info na namiss ko, thank you in advance.

also please correct me nalang if i may have misunderstood some information.

Thank you!

chococrinkle · March 2018

@kaloidq what is your nominated occupation? For 489 relative sponsored kasi mas lalo kadalang ang invites kasi uunahin muna lahat ng 189 iinvite then after that tsaka palang iaallocate sa 489 applicants yung remaining slots. Meaning if madami applicants sa 189 possible na konti nalang matitira for 489. Much better if you apply 489 state sponsored because as long as you meet the conditions set by the state you will receive an invite from them. You may check your occupation here kung saan state possible for 489 visa.

https://www.anzscosearch.com/search/

Also to add, 489 visa holders dont get medicare benefits yet. Some states also charge 489 holders for tuition fees, but there are states that extend free tuition for 489 holders, you just need to pay minimal school fees (ex. SA where I applied).

Btw for visa 489 you get to have +10 points for state sponsorship (whereas 190 gets +5 points only)

chococrinkle · March 2018

@kaloidq also if your sister is in sydney, sadly she cannot sponsor you since relatives should be living in regional areas specified by DHA and sydney is not a regional area. Sister ko sydney din but she cant sponsor me as well kaya we also opt for 489 SA.

Au_Vic · March 2018

@orchyd if you are in australia and want to certify documents which are true copies of original, you can go to a police station, chemist, post office manager, nurses, accountants, other professionals, etc. please see complete list below.

Au_Vic · March 2018

@kaloidq 489 has two streams, relative sponsored and state sponsored. If relative sponsored, the sponsor must live in a "designated" area identified by immigration. If you sister lives in Sydney metro then its NOT a designated area therefore she CANT sponsor you for 489.

state sponsorship is your option depending upon your occupation. you may check each state. At this stage, South Australia is the quickest state to process sponsorhsip and they have a lot occupations in their list for sponsorship.

489 is a provisional visa. It is like 189/190 minus the benefits and permanent residency. You can include your partner, kids in the visa application. Once granted, you can stay in the sponsoring state or designated area, work, study for the duration of your visa.
After 2 yrs of living in the state/designated area, and working for at least 1 yr, you can apply for visa 887 which is a permanent residence visa.

Hi good morning.
I hope someone can enlighten me with 489 visa (Sponsored).

1. Can the aunt of my mom, I consider her as one of my grandparents, sponsor me? She is willing to sponsor me. How to establish the relationship of grandparent or basta willing to sponsor, walang magiging problema?

2. For character requirements, kailangan ko bang kumuha ng police clearance sa lahat ng countries na nag work at stay ako for more than 10 months?

3. Saan dito sa Pinas pwede magpa -assess ng AITSL?

4. If IELTS score is 7 lang for all, makakalusot ba ito? or need ko talaga to achieve yung required band?

Thank you so much. Sana matulungan nyo ako.

chococrinkle · March 2018

@sjregalado91
1. Pls see link for eligible relatives whon could sponsor, wala yata grandparents
https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/489-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/489/sponsors-definitions.aspx

2. If you stay 12 months or more overseas then you need police clearance

3. Not sure.

4. Pls check the requirements of your nominated occupation, mostly 7 will do. Also check your points if you need to increase you may take pte instead for superior points.

MLBS · March 2018

Sorry guys i cant see the act nomination post so I'll just send it here. Nag open ang act for my occupation nitong march 18 and im keen on applying there too kasi basta makaabot ng 60 ok na daw, and i need to do research on jobs lang to prove my employability there. Marami akong nakikitang graduate programs dun so I want to ask lang na tama ba ang basa ko na act has no minimum yrs of exp required? Thanks

orchyd · March 2018

Thanks @Au_Vic ☺️

marise32 · March 2018

Hello.Nagbabasakali lang may makakasagot ng tanong ko dito regarding sa skills assessment ng acs. Medco hindi pa kasi clear sakin paano ba nila inassess ang skills ng applicant. Aapplyan ko sana iyong software engineer with 3 yrs experience para meron man lang 5pts. Pero nabasa ko sa isang discussion kapag acs daw, minus 2yrs so if ever 1yr lang mccredit sakin or most of the time hindi naman ganun ang case. Anyone? Thank you in advance!

Hunter_08 · March 2018

@marise32 minumum ang 2yrs ang bawas sa Acs

kaloidq · March 2018

@Au_Vic @chococrinkle thank you po sa info. sobrang naliwanagan na ako

@chococrinkle nominated occupation is software engineer po. worry ko kasi mashado broad ang occupation titles nila, baka may slot pero hindi yun ang field mo for that occupation. T_T

chococrinkle · March 2018

@kaloidq check the job description of the occupation at anzsco then match mo with your current job if tugma. If same naman you can nominate that occupation.

marise32 · March 2018

@Hunter_08 thank you. So bale minus 2yrs so 1yr na lang experience ko meaning I can no longer get 5pts for 3yrs working exp. or counted pa naman iyong 2yrs? Bale sa skills assessment lang sya binawas? Thank you again.
