    Hi po, has anyone tried contacting Home Affairs on extending the initial entry date?

    Got our grant earlier this year (January 2020), and given first entry date arrive by of Jan 2021 - pero mukhang malabo mangyari ang BM this year due to Covid.

    Hi! Same tayo ng grant date and IED. Hindi kami nagpa-extend. Initially, last June dapat BM namin but PAL flight cancelled. We will do it end of Aug via Cathay Pacific na. Sana hindi macancel flight or mabump-off due to cap.

    Hi Asked ko lang po sino po dito nag renew ng passport at nag pa update ng surname. Madali po ba mag appear un changes sa Immiaccount or vevo. Kasi po yun passport ko will expire by june2021. Pero ang BM po nmin ay sa nov 2. Kaya nag pa schedule po ako ng renewal. Ang iniisip ko since married na ko mag iiba na surname ko. Iba na rin ang nakalagay sa grant letter. Madali ba mag update sa immiaccount.

    Thanks

    Hi guys, got my visa 189 last year and plano sana this year magmove sa Sydney after makaipon ng pangbaon. Currently based in SG. Kaso dahil sa covid napapaisip kung itutuloy ang move this year. Nanghinayang din sa addl cost $3k to enter AU and ang uncertainty kung ganu katagal makahanap ng bagong work. I'm in the IT industry. Nagpapasa na rin ng application sa SEEK and may gamit din akong AU number sa resume kso lahat ng tumawag pag sinabi na wala pa sa AU goodbye na hehehe. Ask sana ako ng advice kung worth to take the risk na ipush thru ang BM this year? Kamusta kaya ang job market for IT BA? Majority ng mga kakilala ko na napagtanungan feedback nila marami nawalan ng work:( Thank you in advance!

    Depende yan sa inyo sir. Depende din sa baon niyong salapi. Depende din sa job market ng occupation niyo. While moving there could give you so much uncertainty, tapos gastos pa. Sa opinyon ko kung ako lang naman sir.. Ipupush ko this year. Kahit end of the year pa. Sabi niyo nga last year pa kayo naggrant. Sayang ang oras na sana andun na kayo nararansan niyo na ang fruit ng paghihirap niyo na mag migrate. Pero of course opinion ko lang naman. Kau parin magdedecide niyan sir.

    Thank you @ga2au and @carlosau sa tips at encouragement! :smile:

    Goodluck to us, @wintergreen and @edward2414 . I'll update the group on our flight on August 11 MNL-HKG-MEL. Our flight has two uncertainties: reopening of Victoria to overseas arrivals and the cap. I already read about a bump-off by CX on BKK-SYD flight, on that case the customer service says whoever pays the highest are priority :|

    Prayers for blessings to our journeys! :)

    bluebubble, ginawa namen yan kay misis ko... once lumabas yung new passport scan mo lang then you need to update ang details sa immiaccount. madali lang na change yung kay misis ko.. bale sa VEVO mo na machecheck yung new details. sa tingin ko ang maging problem mo is yung sa pag release ng DFA ng passport mo ontime, ang dami nila backlog. yung sa misis ko medyo na delay din ang releasing eh. good luck! cheers!

    by the way mas maganda if change name kana pag dating mo dito kasi medyo mahirap pag dito kapa nag name change.. yung mga details mo na ipapasok sa govt agencies tas iisa isahin mo nanaman papaltan once mag name change kana... better do it in the PH.

    Hi guys,

    Here's ours:

    • Nung nasa Pinas palang ako, sinubukan ko nang mag-apply apply online. Mahirap kasi parang automatic na nafi-filter out pag wala ka pang Australian address and phone number.
    • Pero, nag reach out na ako to recruiters online.
    • Nung nag BM kami around 3 weeks ago, I got in touch with the recruiters and updated them with my Australian address and phone numbers. Sunod sunod narin yung tawag from them.
    • Sabi nila, yung job market, very tough nung around March, April, May. Pero it should pick up from now on moving forward, lalo na nag start na ang new financial year. So don't let your hopes down.
    • Paglapag namin dito sa Australia, inasikaso agad namin yung Centrelink namin. So nakatanggap kami ni misis ng JobSeeker payment. That's around $1,000 ($500 JobSeeker, $500 COVID ayuda) each per fortnight. Malaking tulong rin.
    • Ang original plan, yung $500 na ayuda fortnightly for COVID, hanggang September 2020 raw. Pero it might change. Di natin alam. Sana ma extend pa.
    • Luckily for me, nakahanap na ako ng trabaho last week. I'm in the IT industry. Ang tumulong sakin, yung recruiter na kausap ko nung nasa Pinas palang ako.

    Pag may tanong kayo, just reach out. I'd be glad to help. Thanks.

    hello po.
    tanong ko lang, durinq quarantine ka ba nag apply ng claim? or after na pag labas?
    hindi ko kasi alam din anogn address ilagay ko - hotel or doon sa address where we'll stay after quarantine.
    thanks!

    Hi, yes, during quarantine nag apply na kami ng claim. Sa case namin, may tutuluyan na kami after ng quarantine so yun yung nilagay naming address.

    Pwede naman sigurong address ng hotel yung ilagay tapos i-update nalang pag may bago kayong address. Itatawag lang naman yun. Para lang umusad na. Good luck!

    Thank you po sa info. Also got a response similar to this - but I think na clarify na man na no need to extend the IED, considering the Covid situation. This is their response:

    Unable to travel to Australia (Initial Entry Date)

    "Generally you will be able to arrive in Australia after the initial entry date, as long as it is before the “Must not arrive after date” specified in your visa Grant Notification letter. You do not need to be granted an “extension” to your initial entry date or visa."

    So probably next year na kami magBM.

    Thanks again sa lahat.

    Thanks @lecia and congrats sa successful move! Nakapag book na kasi ako dati ng Melbourne sa end of August, unfortunately, naglockdown kaya ang ginawa ko is pinapalit ko ng Sydney ang destination..Then I asked SQ if makakasama ba kami kasi may cap per day ang arrivals..Ang sagot samin is basta may available seats pa ay nag aaccept sila ng rebooking/booking sa flight means within cap pa ..Tas nung tinanong ko if ilan passengers (kasi sa website nila andami ng not available na mark), sabi di daw pede sabhin hehehe..Worried lang ako gawa ng daily cap, hopefully nga matuloy kami sa Sydney...By the way, with regards sa quarantine charging, sasabihin ba agad nila sa inyo na need/no need magbayad during check-in or pagkatapos na ng quantine? June pa kami nagbook pero gawa ng rebooking, nagpalit ang date sa Aug na kaya expected namin pagbabayarin kami ng quarantine charges :(

    Walang proplema as long SQ ang airlines nyo. Walang cancellation yan sya. nagmark as unavailable kasi nag cacap yan sila, papasa nila sa Au ang number of passengers kasi yan ang basehan kung ilang tao ireceive ng hotel.

    Nsa quarantine pa kami. Naka buy kasi kami ticket before nun cut off na free pa. May mga kakilala akong staggered payment sila magbayad. Anung airlines na book mo nung June? Same airlines ba? MAka avail ka kasi ng free quarantine pag ang rebooking mo is galing sa cancellation ng flights at mga circumstances na dimo hawak at na buy mo ang ticket before 12 July 1159 est..

Nakapag book na kasi ako dati ng Melbourne sa end of August, unfortunately, naglockdown kaya ang ginawa ko is pinapalit ko ng Sydney ang destination..Then I asked SQ if makakasama ba kami kasi may cap per day ang arrivals..Ang sagot samin is basta may available seats pa ay nag aaccept sila ng rebooking/booking sa flight means within cap pa ..Tas nung tinanong ko if ilan passengers (kasi sa website nila andami ng not available na mark), sabi di daw pede sabhin hehehe..Worried lang ako gawa ng daily cap, hopefully nga matuloy kami sa Sydney...By the way, with regards sa quarantine charging, sasabihin ba agad nila sa inyo na need/no need magbayad during check-in or pagkatapos na ng quantine? June pa kami nagbook pero gawa ng rebooking, nagpalit ang date sa Aug na kaya expected namin pagbabayarin kami ng quarantine charges :(

    Walang proplema as long SQ ang airlines nyo. Walang cancellation yan sya. nagmark as unavailable kasi nag cacap yan sila, papasa nila sa Au ang number of passengers kasi yan ang basehan kung ilang tao ireceive ng hotel.

    Nsa quarantine pa kami. Naka buy kasi kami ticket before nun cut off na free pa. May mga kakilala akong staggered payment sila magbayad. Anung airlines na book mo nung June? Same airlines ba? MAka avail ka kasi ng free quarantine pag ang rebooking mo is galing sa cancellation ng flights at mga circumstances na dimo hawak at na buy mo ang ticket before 12 July 1159 est..

    Yes, same airlines sya, sa SQ pa din..Nung June, SQ Melbourne..Tas na-cancel ung date, pinalitan din pero SQ Melbourne pa din..Tas now, may lockdown, di na namin mahintay if mag oopen ang Melbourne sa end of Aug, kaya the same booking, pina change na lang namin ng destination, naging SQ Sydney na.. kahapon lang kami nagchange booking tas pinatop-up na lang kami ng SQ sa air fare difference dahil mas mahal ung sydney flight na bago..

    Keep the original booking, attach together..Im not really sure kung free, pero malamang malaki chances na free yan kasi madami ako nabasa na ganyan sa FB forums, rebooking tas change flights due to lockdowns or cancelled..We pray for that. Pero alam ko namang ready kayo anuman ang circumstances. Goodluck and pag may tanong ka, go lang, willing to answer.God bless!!! Nag aantay ang Au sa inyo

    Yes pwede pa mag apply. Initially ako lang nag apply ng job seeker and parenting payment (partnered) claim around mid june. Na approve naman.

    Then yung jobseeker pala is individual so nag apply si wife ko on a later date, naka labas na kami sa quarantine around july na. - and na approve din xa.
