489 visa to 887

kimpoy · December 2018

@fgs Habol ko na din po sa clarification... 1 year fulltime work means 365days fulltime work or 261days working days (as of 2018). Pasensya medyo nalito ako duon. Hindi ko pa mahanap yung direct link sa respective governing body para mag inquire.

I worked fly in fly out and my work roster is 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, meaning i worked only 6 mos in total in 1 year...i noted this because they look at not just the hours but also the total amount earned and other factors which i dont know...any inquiries regarding immigration can be directed to www.homeaffairs.gov.au "contact us" details...focus on looking for work first, you have 2 years to figure it out..goodluck

@fgs Salamat po sa reply

Ive just checked immi website it seems they have made a new version of the website. For 887 application, unlike before, it is not indicated anymore in the documents checklist that dependents need evidence of 2 years stay in regional area. So it means only primary applicants need to comply this, as there was a confusion before. This is good news for us who will apply in the future, and hoping no major changes until then.

Thats always the case.....only the primary applicant is required to fulfill the 2 years residency and 1 year fulltime work..the website does not clearly specify those req for dependents thats why its confusing.

Any work will do.

@fgs ok sir thank you

chococrinkle · December 2018

@fgs Yes, thats true. Good thing they corrected already in their website.

Btw, if I may ask, since you have mentioned that your shift is 2 weeks straight then 2 weeks off, you think DHA can also consider those that meet an average of 35 hrs only, combining all shifts in a month? My husband’s shift varies every week. In a month, he has 2 weeks of 33 hrs, and 2 weeks of 38.5 to 43 hrs. On the average per month, he still gets 35 hrs a week only that the length of shifts varry. Do you think DHA will still consider this?

Another option would be, to submit only the payslips that meet the 35 hrs, around 2 payslips per month, within 2 years. Is this also acceptable?

Just checking our possible options in the future. Thanks

I am not sure but as what i have mentioned, they also look at the annual amount earned. If it meets the minimum, then i guess theres no problem.

Tinkerbella · February 2019

Hello po.. Merun po sana ako inquiry kung may nakakaalam. Approve na po ang 489 visa ko. Naka 1st entry na din ako. Kaso di pa ko nag bibigmove kase di pa ko nakakahanap ng work, which is I tried to do it offshore and online. Tanong ko lang po kung may alam kayo na rules and regulations na kelangan nasa OZ na dapat while searching for a job? Mag 1 year na din po mula nang ma approve visa ko. Am having hard time leaving my current job at bka di agad makahanap ng work sa Oz. Please help...

Thanks po...

maguero · February 2019

@Tinkerbella Pareho tayo na 489 visa pero nung December lang na-grant yung sa akin. Wala naman rule na dapat nasa Oz pag naghanap ng job pero sa mga nababasa ko, mas preferred ng employers na mainterview face-to-face yung applicants. Pero may mga nakakahanap naman ng job while offshore.

Sa tingin ko ang kailangan natin i-bear in mind is yung visa natin mag-eexpire after 4 years. Hindi sya parang 189 or 190 na permanent visa. Kaya importante na within the 4 years na valid yung ating visa ay maka-comply tayo sa requirement na tumira ng 2 years and magwork ng 1 year sa sponsoring state para maka-apply tayo for 887 visa. Pag pinatagal natin ang pag-BM mas lumiliit yung chance na maka-comply tayo.

angel14 · February 2019
