    @changeiscoming when mag expire student visa? when are you going to lodge your 485? kami ng mga classmates ko kasi on March 15 ang expiration. we're thinking of lodging by Feb na para ma-maximise yung 2 years grad visa. meaning hindi kaagad tumakbo. kaso may nagsasabi na we need to apply within 2 months daw after course completion which will mean by December. so mejo confusing.

    Hi! Im a new grad as well. Just finished uni last July and I'm now currently working as a nurse here in QLD. I am not eligible to apply for post grad visa because I only studied for 1.5 yrs, hence I enrolled for an advanced diploma for 32 weeks while waiting for the verdict of my EOI for 190 NSW and 489 FS :) Good luck sa tin lahat!

    @changeiscoming if you don't have existing valid medicals, better do it after you lodge and before CO contact. mabilis lang ang decision sa 485 kesa magwait ka pa.

    with regards to 485 visa, yung english requirement ba for your student visa pwede pa gamitin kapag nag-apply ng 485? in my case kasi 3 yrs yung course na kukunin ko tas 2 yrs lang validity ng IELTS. need ba magretake?

    3 years ang validity ng ielts if you are applying for 485.

    "The results of a specified English language test (IELTS, Occupational English Test (OET), Pearson Test of English Academic, or TOEFL iBT) that you took less than three years before l​odging your application. "

    pero since 3 years ang course, most likely mag-expire na nga sya.
