"sir tanong q lng po kung ano course nio o bridging prog kau? kc balak ko dn mag aplay ds july intake. nsa midest dn pala kau. plano q mg aplay dto na sa qatar pero nsa abu dabi kc ung embassy wala dito. dian knb aalis going to au o uwi kpa pinas? balak ko kc hal. if visa grant na uwi na muna q pinas to au na. salamat!"
Sir, Sorry for the late reply. I am a nurse (Doctor of Nursing Practice), currently working as a Prof in Nursing and Chairman of ICU and Anesthsia Dept of Gharyan University Teaching Hospital here in Libya. I applied as a Nurse Educator in WA. Actually sir, hindi na po ito Middle East, Africa na sir but still a Muslim Country. Pag na bigay na po ang Visa Grant ay diretso na po ako sa AU kasi po ay mayroon na pong naghihintay na work doon and I need to finish my contract here para naman po maayos ang alis ko dito sa Libya.
Sir, apply ka na, medyo madaming requirments ang kailangan like state sponsorhip if visa 190 ang habol mo, IELTS exam, at sang katutak na documents to prove your educational background, work experiences, etc. and madami na namang skill or occupation sa SOL ang nagsasara kaya kung decided ka na talaga sir ay start your application ASAP.
I hope this will help! and the Best of Luck!!

Bago ako sa forum na ito...kakaregister ko lang...Baka lang kasi matulungan nyo ako o may info kayo na related...anyway, last 2007 nag-aaply kami thru agency unfortunately by 2010 na-CAP and CEASED ang appplication namin. Meron ba sa inyong na-apektuhan din nito? NAkatanggap kami ng email from immigration na irerefund daw ang visa fees na ibinayad namin...eh hanggang ngaun wala pa kaming refund...last year maswerte at natanggap ang husband ko dito sa Toyota Rockhampton. Hindi na namin sinabi sa employer ang tungkol sa visa fees refund namin para na lang di maguluhan...nagbayad pa din kami ng PR visa fees namin...pero yung nauuna di pa na refund...3 months pa lang kami dito sa Queensland at sinubok kong mag email ulit sa immigration regarding sa refund na naka-attached yung emails din nila sa amin..eh hanggang ngaun wala pa rin silang reply...baka naman meron kayong alam o kakilala na makakatulong sa amin para makuha yung ibinayad namin...ito ang personal email ad ko [email protected] salamat ! God bless!!!
