@tolitskii pending pa rin po ba application nyo? Ang tagal pala ng hintayan! Sana kapag time na namen mag file eh bumilis na.

Tanong ko lang po sa lahat ng nag apply, once mag file po ba eh eligible na for medicare while waiting for result? Salamat po sa sasagot.

tolitskii · December 2019

@SGtoAU yes, panding padin. 1 year na kami naghhintay. sabe sa website 20 months daw processing... imagine!!! Expire n lahat ng docs namen by that time. Hahaa.. once nakapagapply kana ng visa 887, pwede ka na magapply ng medicare. Need yung letter ng immigration na naglodge ka ng visa887

Hello po and hope you had a good Christmas!

Dun sa na-grant na, puwede po ba magsubmit ulit ng letter from university stating English is the medium of instruction para sa functional English? Naisubmit na po ito sa umpisa pero hinihingan ang secondary applicant uli ng proof of functional English. Or dapat mag ielts/toefl na ang secondary applicant? Sayang lang kasi ang bayad.

TIA for the advice. Happy nee year to all!!!

What do you mean submitted sa umpisa?

If during 489 application, CEMI was used and was accepted. Yun din gamitin mo for 887.

Long wait but worth it.

-hi ano pong additional docs ang hiningi? Tia

koykoy · January 2020

Hi @batman !

Yes, CEMI na sinubmit ko for 489, so yun ulit sinubmit ko when we lodged 887. Now sinumbit ko ulit ang CEMI, plus university cert and high school cert.
Baka hindi lang nakita ng CO un CEMI 😬
Plus ang mahal ng IELTS/TOEFL 😫

Hi good day, meron na po ba dto na naka experience na state sponsored ka tapos lumipat s ibang regional area kse hnd sila mkhanap tlga ng work dun s state n nag sponsor sayo?
Like kung s SA ngsponsor sayo tapos may job offer ka na sa ibang state na regional. Ok lang ba yun?
Hnd ba naapektuhan yung pag apply ng PR nyo?

Thanks in advance

Question. Counted ba sa 35 hours ang online jobs outside the nominated state or country?

hindi..unless makapad provide ka ng proof like payslip na dito naka address tapos nagbabayad ka ng tax dito.

maguero · March 2020

@jaceejoef Nabasa ko dati dito na yung sinusubmit na proof of work is yung payslip. So kung offshore or outside of SA yung employer makikita agad sa payslip yun.

Another thing, nung nag-3 months ako dito nakatanggap ako ng e-mail from Immigration SA asking kung may trabaho na ako, kailan magsimula, saan, and kung ano exactly yung trabaho ko. So that's another basis for them to know when you've started paid employment here.

jaceejoef · March 2020

@Hunter_08 that's sad. Wala kasi masyadong job available sa field ko. Magbabayad naman ako ng tax if ever may online work ako

@maguero sana di ako umabot ng 3 months na walang work. Kahit di na IT field ok lang. Nakakatakot na nauubos ang allowance tapos walang pumapasok na income

maguero · March 2020

@jaceejoef Kung makakuha ka ng online work, why don't you do that first para may income ka. Pero wag mo lang isasama sa 887 application mo. Tapos tuloy-tuloy ang paghanap ng job within SA para eventually maka-comply ka sa visa requirement. Tsaka wag mo isipin yung kaunti lang jobs sa field mo. 3 lang yung nakita kong jobs dati na sakto sa akin tapos na-hire ako dun sa isa. Kahit konti lang opportunities pero kung mapunta naman sa iyo yung isa dun, then it doesn't matter kung konti lang.

bbtot · March 2020

Would u know Sir @maguero kung kelangan pang ideclare ang overseas income from your online job? Kunware US ang employer ko pero dito ako sa regional AU nagwwork.

maguero · March 2020

@bbtot Sorry hindi ako familiar dito. May sideline ako paminsan-minsan pero dito lang din sa Adelaide.

This may help:

https://www.australiavisa.com/immigration-news/from-a-489-to-a-887-visa/

"The applicant need only have physically worked in a location within the specified areas attached to their visa conditions, but do not need their employer to be based there (e.g. if the employer has multiple offices). In one of our cases, our client worked in a specified regional area from home via an online portal, but his employer was located in Sydney. The fact was that he was working in a specified regional area and that was all that mattered."

Wow! This is good news! Thank you! Pero double check ko na din sa immigration to.

bbtot · March 2020

Thank you mga Sir! @maguero @EricLucky @jaceejoef

bbtot · March 2020

Follow up question po pala..... Kelangan pa bang ideclare for tax purposes kung may naiwang bank account sa Pinas?

maguero · March 2020

@bbtot Wala pang nagtatanong sa akin nito. Ang pagkakaalam ko hindi naman ittax yung ipon na nasa Philippines.

Hello! Question lang, hindi ba makaka-apekto sa pag-apply ng 887 if nag-stay ako sa non-regional area ng mga 2 months upon arrival? Nasa Sydney kasi ako ngayon, I arrived 2 weeks ago, stay muna sana ako dito with my brother hanggang medyo maging okay sitwasyon ng covid, then move to Adelaide na.

As long ma buo mo ang 2 years stay for that 4 years life ng 489 visa mo that's OK. For time being ka lng namn dyan.

becca91 · March 2020

Thanks @batman , may nabasa kasi ako na within 4 weeks ng pag-arrive mo sa Australia need mo na lumipat sa regional area. Tumawag ako sa DHA di naman nila alam sagot. Basta pag arrive ko Adelaide, dun magstart yung counting ng 2 years, tama?
