Question po: If yung Main applicant sa 482 visa is required to have POEA clearance, kailangan din ba ang family niya may clearance?
Ano pong kailangan na mga documents ng partner/wife/kids na kasama sa 482 visa when they leave? May hinihingi po ba sa immigration?

@ElsBeth No need for POEA clearance for dependents. Just present your passport and visa at immigration with a filled up departure card.

@snuffbox Don't even start your TSS application if wala pang AHPRA registration and ANMAC assessment. If registered nurse position yung nomination ng employer mo, it will be rejected most likely. Check po yung details ng TSS online, you will realise that those mentioned are vital for TSS VISA application.

Finally! Our TSS visa granted after 2 months.
Advise ko sa mga di pa nagpapamedical. Wag muna kayo magpa-shot ng MMR vaccine. Dito kami nagtagal. Lodged TSS May 8th and we did our medical that same week. We were asked to get MMR vaccine and we agreed. A week after Immi requested for TB screening that needed blood test. Problem is, St Luke's can't do the test since we need to wait 1 months after vaccination. Went back June 6 for TB screening - negative. Result submitted to BUPA June 8. Then just today (July 9) our visa were granted.
Moral lesson: You can get your vaccines nalang after visa approval. Di mo din kasi masabi baka magrequest sila ng blood test and you might be delayed if nagpa-vaccine na agad kayo.
Sana makatulong
(Best of luck sa OEC naman)

congrats! ang tagal din pala ng first contact ng CO... almost a month after lodging the visa... may nakita ba na problems sa X-ray on the first medical exam or history of lung illness? we also took our vaccine when we had our medical but they told us our X-ray is clear...

Thanks, Guys.
Yung mom ko kasi eh nagka-TB last year. Pero nagpa-screen na rin kami before so we're sure na di naman kami nahawa. Now when we filled up the application eh we disclosed na may exposure kami sa person na naka-TB. So blood test yung mga kids and kaming adult x-ray lang ang pinagawa. Cleared naman kami lahat pero so some reason gusto yata makasiguro ng immigration hence they requested another blood test for me and my spouse. Yun - dito na nagtagal.
@pineapoladrian If you're not exposed naman to someone na nagka-TB I think you're fine. Based on our immi account 30-47 days yata ang processing nila ngayon. Sa case namin after ma-cleared lahat ng results namin (June 8) eh na grant naman after 30 day. So most likely sa case mo by Aug 4 meron na rin yan. Mas ok kung mapapaaga. Good luck!

@a9entk when did the CO contact you about the additional medical exam? was it one week after you lodged the visa or one month after?

> 3. I went home (PH). Once I received the original verified employment contract, I went to POEA BM online to set an appointment to my local DFA (Davao). On the appointment date, they only collected my verified employment contract and updated my OWA/POEA records.

Hi po. tanong lang po about number 3, kelangan po sa Pinas pa rin process yun OEC kahit nasa Aus na kayo?Tia

@zrlv if you can go to Canberra personally, then you can do both the verification of contract and update your OWWA records sa embassy so that you can directly print your OEC online before even going home. They won't allow online kasi, dapat in person when it comes to OWWA records update when I called them last early june. You may call POLO/embassy and ask again (number at their website).
Tapos I'm from QLD so medyo malayo and i had to go home asap so I opted for sending the verified contract in PH so that I could go to OWWA and update my records. Once my OWWA is updated, I could print my OEC online anytime.
contract verification by the way only takes 1 day as long as complete lahat ng requirements.

@zrlv . Just to be sure po. As far as I understood... OEC is required for Overseas worker/TSS482 Visa Holder primary applicant (not needed for dependents) whenever departing from PH going to the country of work.
