Hi , Sorry if this is out of post, i have already submitted my visa application, do i have to wait for the CO to advise me to take the medical exams and character evidence? there is a portion where it says "organize your health examination"

Thanks

Hi, this is my first time here. After some research, I already have a general idea on the different steps involved on the immigration process. I think the most appropriate visa for me is 189 visa. I dont know anybody in Aussie who can sponsor me. So I'll go for skilled-indpenedent visa. Tama ba na pwede din mag submit ng EOI for more than 1 visa like 186 (ENS) and 187 (RSMS)? Medyo naguguluhan pako dito, gusto ko muna mag concentrate sa 189 visa heheh.. Wala bang show money or proof of asset required ang 189 visa? I have dependents...parents lang kase single pko...pero hindi sila sasama sa akn sa Aussie (if ever ma approve ako). May brother din ako na more than 18yrs old pero hindi ko dependents, interested din sya to work in Aussie pero not in the near future, kakastart pa lang nya kase mag work. nag ggain pa sya ng work experience. My question is... sarili ko lang ba ang kasama sa lahat ng papers including medical,etc. tama ba? Thanks a lot.

@loudandclear - welcome to the forum..you are on the right track..

1. Visa 189 is independent. Another type of visa is Visa 190 (SS), depending on your Skills and/or your totaal points, you might be required to apply for State Sponsorship (Visa 190).. so hanap ka ng state na in-demand ang skills mo. You don't need someone from AU to get nominated.. you just have to satisfy the criteria of the state.. may separate thread about this.

2. Yes, you can submit one EOI, and then select other visa options na gusto mo.. kung alin ang mauna mag invite, you can decide to accept or decline.

3. For Visa 189 (independent), walang required na proof of asset/money.. sa Visa 190(SS), some states will ask info about how will you bring money to support you initially, pero sabi ng mga nandito, ung iba hindi nmn nagrequire ng actuall proof, kumbaga part lang sya ng application process to answer those financial declaration questions..

4. If you are single, and they are not migrating with you, yes, sarili mo lang ang kailangan ng mga documents...they will not be required to provide docs, police clearance/medical. You should put them in the "OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS", medyo nakakalito ang part ng application na ito kaya be careful. DO NOT put them in the "MIGRATING Dependents" or "NON-MIGRATING Dependents".

loudandclear · December 2012

^thanks a lot @lock_code2004 for the reply.

i'm still confused about the visa 190 (SS), what's the difference on visa 187 (RSMS)? also, yun bang visa 186, 187 and 190...walang visa fee? i read visa 189 fee is 3,060 USD. i think i need to read more on these visa types.

one of my main concerns is getting employed the soonest as soon as the visa is granted. i'm looking at seek.com.au website to see if there's demand for my skills. what other website/jobsite could you recommend? gusto ko sana sa melbourne.

. in demand ba IT sa melbourne? thanks.

@loudandclear
- there are two main visa groups a) Skilled b) Employer Sponsored

a) Skilled -para sa mga skilled worker, you can apply on your own, sympre ikaw magbabayad
- visa 189 - independent
- visa 190 - with state sponsorship (either kulang ang points or dahil CSOL sched 2 ang skill)
- visa 489 - regional/family sponsored, this is a temporary visa

b) Employer Sponsored
- visa 475, 186,187 -employer will process your papers, sympre sila magbabayad
- kung super indemand ang skill mo, at makahanap ka ng employer na willing mag sponsor, then ito ung visa
- some of these visas are temporary, but you can apply for PR after satisfying some criteria..

Hello everyone. May tanong lang po ako. After lodging of visa ba online, mga ilang days magrespond ang DIAC that they have received the application? Tapos, yung medical ba magagawa lang pag may CO kana at may advise na from them? Or pwede yun gawin in advance??? Maraming salamat po. God bless us all.

depende po sa type ng visa nyo..
may mga visa na priority processing.. so mas mabilis mag assign ng CO..
normally pwede magpamedical before magka-CO, you need your health ID and TRN, but you should know that the medical exam date has an effect on your Initial Entry Deadline..

@gerleen_agus just want to share my experience. in my case, I got an email acknowledgement immediately after payment. Then from there, my application changed to In Process and at the same time lumabas na yung Next Steps which includes:
1. document upload and
2. organization of health requirements.

So pwede mo na gawin medicals even if wala pa CO assigned. As long as may TRN ka na naa-access ng clinic, pwede na po pa-medical.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

@abc27 thank you so much po sa information. May tanong pa po ako hehe, san ko po makikita yung TRN? Nagbayad na din po ako eh. Pasensya na po. Thank you.

abc27 · January 2013

@gerleen_agus may na-receive ka na po bang email acknowledgement after payment? If wala, please check sa junk folder mo. yung TRN ko starts with prefix na EGO, I think same Lang yan kasi nung nag-inquire ako sa clinic alam na nila yun.

@abc27 yun nga eh wala pa po akong natanggap na email acknowledgement. Na-lodge at nagbayad ako last December 31, 2012. Baka matagal lang siguro ngayon kasi madami???

abc27 · January 2013

@gerleen_agus ang tagal na po pala, nauna pa po kayo sa akin. Jan 8 Lang ako nag-lodge eh. Nag-reflect na ba sa credit card yung charge ng visa? Baka kasi di siya nag-go through kaya walang confirmation. Login ka ulit sa Skillselect, pag ni-click mo yung Apply Visa link, may lumalabas ba na pop-up asking for the TRN or the steps for lodging?

abc27 · January 2013

@gerleen_agus btw, ano po visa type niyo?

@abc27 oo na-charge na sa credit card ko ang payment. Skill Independent 189 ako. Ikaw?

abc27 · January 2013

@gerleen_agus same tayo subclass 189 din ako. Baka nasa junk folder mo yung confirmation email. Pa-check po.

ibig bang sabihin once na nagapply ka for visa starting july 2012. Only by invitation yung pag lodging? so if ever na you got invitation to lodge your visa waiting kana for visa granted tama ba?

lock_code2004 · January 2013

ibig bang sabihin once na nagapply ka for visa starting july 2012. Only by invitation yung pag lodging? so if ever na you got invitation to lodge your visa waiting kana for visa granted tama ba?

yes.. you will need to have an EOI first.. Expression of Interest..
once you got an invitation, that's the only time you can apply for visa..
once you lodged the visa, CO will ask you to complete the PCCs and Medical exams..
if no more additional requirements are requested by the CO,
then you will wait for the decision..

hanson15 · January 2013

pero sure na yung decision na ma visa granted ka diba? hihintayin mo nalang? tama ba? Ang kailangan lang talagang ipagpray is mabigyan ka ng invitation tama?

TasBurrfoot · January 2013

pero sure na yung decision na ma visa granted ka diba? hihintayin mo nalang? tama ba? Ang kailangan lang talagang ipagpray is mabigyan ka ng invitation tama?

No, you can still be denied... As long you don't have the grant letter, it can still be a yes or a no.

peach17 · January 2013

Hi po, bago lang po kami dito sa forum.
We just received a favorable response last Jan 9 from Engineers Australia.
Pero hindi pa kami nag EOI. We have several questions po and sana po matulungan nyo kami.

1. Advisable po ba na wag muna mag EOI at icomplete muna ang mga documents?
2. Ung Bank Statement, hard requirement po ba talaga sya? Para san po ba ito? And if 3 companies yung pinasukan before, three bank statements yung need i secure?
3. Payslip: How many per year po ang need isubmit?
4. Dependent: Good na po ba yung Diploma as a proof of functional english? pano po mapprove na English yung medium of instruction? Need pa po ba yun?
5. Evidence of Relationship: If married naman na po, hindi po ba marriage certificate lang ang need as proof of relationship? Medyo naguguluhan po ako dito. (http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/bringing-secondary-app.htm)
- Meron pa kasi nakalagay na dapat Evidence of the history of your relationship and Evidence of a genuine and continuing relationship . Ano po need to prove ito?

Thank you po in advance sa lahat. We would really appreciate your help.

Bryann · January 2013

@peach17
Hi, I'll try to answer some of your questions.

1. Hindi ko naabutan yun EOI, pero advice ko i-ready mo na yun mga documents and certified true copies para mas madali, kasi you'll never know if baka matagalan yun iba dahil meron problems.

2. Hindi kami nag-submit ng bank statements, for proof of employment COE lang and detailed employment certificate detailing your duties and responsibilities.

3. Payslip unless tingin mo hindi sufficient yun documents mo to prove your employment, hindi na ito kailangan. Kasi sa COE nakalagay naman salary mo. And nakapasa ka na naman sa assessment with Engineers Australia.

4. Sa dependent, kailangan nyo po kumuha ng tinatawag na "CERTIFICATE OF ENGLISH AS MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION" from your dependent's university / college. Most schools alam ito, yun wife ko sa PUP meron na talaga sila form para dito and meron small fee.

5. Marriage certificate lang po ang kailangan dito. Yun evidence of the history ng relationship ay para lang sa couple na hindi pa kasal, at gusto nila isama yun partner sa application.

Hope this helps.

peach17 · January 2013

Thank you po for the answers above @Bryann

Icomplete po muna namin ang mga documents. Kuha kami ng updated COE. 2 kinds of COE po ba ang pinasa nyo?
1. Standard COE with Salary
2. Customized COE with duties and responsibilities

Saka po pala, ako po kasi yung isasama ng husband ko. Sa pag fill up po ng form, san ako ilalagay? Sa Dependent po or sa Secondary Applicant? Pero wala naman po additional points needed sakin.

Thank u po ulit.

Bryann · January 2013

Anung form po yan? Hindi ko na kasi masyado maalala. Ang naaalala ko lang yun parents, siblings dun sa other family members not migrating with you. Huwag nyo sila ilagay under dependent kasi baka hingan pa documents. Ikaw po kasi is considered dependent, at the same time secondary applicants din po. Pa-clarify na lang po ha, Hehe. Thanks.

peach17 · January 2013

Sa Visa Lodgement Application po @Bryann, ako po ang ilalagay na Secondary Applicant and Dependent? Kahit hindi po kailangan ng points for partner skills?

Yung mga parents and siblings po namin na HINDI sasama sa pag migrate sa Australia - dun po ilalagay sa Other Family Members Not Migrating? Tama po ba? Nabasa ko lang po dito sa thread eh. medyo naguguluhan lang po ako

lock_code2004 · January 2013

@peach17 -sa EOI

Primary - is your Husband
Secondary - ikaw
Migrating Dependents - if you have kids

Non Migrating Dependents - leave it blank..normally pwede gamitin kung merong anak na hindi isasama.. or kung ang parents nyo ay dependent sa inyo, pero hindi sya mag-migrate..

Other Family Members - mga kapatid nyo po, at alam ko po ay pati parents..
