    Kaya dapat habang nag aaral ay hanap na ng internship or mag apprentice na related sa course na napili or mag part-time work basta related sa course dahil kung hindi ay pinas after graduation. Ang tanong ay madali ba makahanap ng work as apprentice or kailangan lang tiyaga para makahanap?

    sa pagkaka alam ko yan ang pathway after finishing your course....not unless may mag sponsor sa iyo for a 457 visa.....pero if you want to use your skills especially those coming from your course in OZ then you need to proceed with 485 visa to stay further in OZ......bago mag expire ang existing na 573 visa mo dapat maglodge ka na ng 485 visa so that if darating ang time na mag expire yong existing student visa mo, you will be given a bridging visa A allowing you to work fulltime ....

    Hi to all!

    I have a clarification for those with dependents in their visa application. What happens if strong ang application mo as a student but the CO may not be convinced with your de facto status, would that mean refusal for both? Or will it be safer if my partner will apply for a separate student visa? I'm just considering the budget at this point. In my case kasi (574) nil ang dependents for visa application fee.

    Any ideas on this? Please enlighten. Thank you very much. :)

    Patakaran ito next year na dapat after mag expired ang student visa ay dapat mag apply ng 485 visa kung walang company mag sponsor ng 457? How about state sponsorship ay pwede ba iyon mag apply?

    Hi Guys! Congrats sa lahat may visa na. Anyway, i just wanna ask and get some advice to anyone na same case of refusal because of "No Access to the Account of Sponsor" then nag-relodge. First Question po, mabilis na lang ba ang timeframe kung magrerelodge? Second, wala po bang magiging problema kung mag-papalit ka ng sponsor? Third, possible kayang mabigyan ako kagad ng Visa kung naka-OR naman ako sa Accnt or maybe having an Special-Power-Attorney? Thank you po in advance sa mga mag-sishare ng ideas. Godbless us all.

    @Darwin hi Win...ang SS ay isa sa mga options yan if maka receive ka na ng invitation after submitting your EOI....if positive ka sa SS then you will get additional 5 migration points then kung regional area ay 10 points....

    @markier87 you will be assessed as one kung isang application lang kayo. so, i believe, your application will be affected kung may doubt sa de facto status ninyo.
