    hello po sa mga nka 491 visa na nag BM sa Australia ano po hinahanap ng immigration officer sa Airport bukod sa grant visa letter. need po ba ng OEC, PDOS and CFO? thank you sa mga sasagot.

    Just to share my experience.

    Hinanapan kame ng OEC at PDOS/CFO. Actually may list yung immigration officer na napilahan namin. Pinakita nya yung list.

    May na provide akong OEC pero si Misis wala kasi wala naman syang work dito sa AU. So nung sinabi kona walang OEC si misis at walang work sa AU ndi na nag ask ng further question is Officer.

    About sa PDOS, meron akong email from CFO na hindi need ng 491 ng PDOS. Nag register kasi ako para online PDOS, pero after verification ng visa ko by CFO. Nag email sila na hindi daw need ng 491 ng PDOS. So pinakita ko lang yung email na yun.

    Additional na hinanap saken is yung employment contract ko.

    Thank you po sa pag reply. May idea na ako dapat gawin :)

    May visa ka na? Then yes, indicate mo sya sa unahan para kitang kita. Employers would prefer applicants with working rights in Australia. If wala pa and you're waiting for it, you can also indicate that and maybe an estimate of when you would get it.

    Not necessarily. They will look for your phone number and address. If its not local, sometimes they will not entertain. U could probably mention it in your cover letter, if u decided to apply offshore

    Hi All! Sa mga nakaalis na with 491 visa, ano po ang hinanap ng immigration natin dito sa Pinas, PDOS lang po ba? Iniisip ko kase baka maghanap ng OEC eh employer independent visa naman ang 491 di ba.

    May expiration ba ang PDOS kase balak ko 6 months from now pa lang ako bago pumunta ng Australia. Anyone please advice, thank you.

    Hindi required ang PDOS for 491, pang PR visas lang yung PDOS.

    For the OEC, backread ka konti dito, plus check this thread https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/398233

    Thank you po. Pwede po ba walk in sa Sanry's and if wala din po available dun, pwede po kaya sa mga money changer lang dito sa Pinas? Ok lang po ba yun?

    Yes pwede walk-in sa Sanrys, but usually mabilis sila maubusan ng stock daily. I've never tried other money changers personally, so can't comment on that. Hopefully someone here will be able to help :)

    Depends on the availability, but sometimes kailangan pa orderin and you get it the next day. If you get from another money changer naman na readily available, lugi ka sa rate na gamit nila.

    job hunting sana ako bago big move, dapat ba iindicate sa cv yung visa status?

    May visa ka na? Then yes, indicate mo sya sa unahan para kitang kita. Employers would prefer applicants with working rights in Australia. If wala pa and you're waiting for it, you can also indicate that and maybe an estimate of when you would get it.

    yes po, finally granted this July. thank you!

    Congrats po, pashare po ng occupation, lodgment date and visa subclass. Thanks in advance! :)

    Thank you! Developer Programmer, 21/12/2022, 189. :)

    Unahan pala talaga sa CFO seminar, ilang araw ko na tinatry laging 'maximum clients reached' kahit ilang minutes pa lang past 7AM. :#
