yup tru recruitment agency po ako d2 sa pinas, sila lahat nag asekaso sa mga papepels ko, bale ang ginawa ko nlang ay ang vetasses tradetest, and medical, tapos submit req'd docs sa kanila. Yung 1st employer ko sa victoria dapat ( di na ako dumaan ng interview kasi daw pasado na ako sa needs nila).. unluckily di natuloy kasi humina yung kumpanya nila, nagbawas pa nga ng mga tao.. after a month may panibago employer from Perth naman, ( d na rin ako nainterview kasi pasok din ako sa nids nila), the relodging was quite fast kasi change of sponsor lng ang binago, it took a month and a half seguro, kumpleto na ako lahat lahat, plane ticket nalang kulang sakin, but again di na namn natuloy kasi natamaan daw sila ng recession.. (d kaya ako ang malas? hehe).. pinaghintay kasi ako ng araw, tapos naging weeks, naging months.. kaya niwithdraw ko nalang application ko sa agency.. just lately nag apply ako sa panibagong agency at senwerte kasi napili ako ng employer, (ang kagandahan nito inenterview ako..) so ngayon still on process na namn ang visa ko... hoping na sana ito na talaga... at least smile pa din kahit konti lang

@rachelle_gan2, just to give u an idea mas madali makahanap ng employer yung nag aaply for 457 visa, in the reason that merong minimum pay na kailangan lg e meet ang employer pra mkapagsponsor which is sa pgkakaalam ko ay $26.80 per hr. Un nga lg sa ngaun hinihigpitan ng government ang 457 visa kasi my ibang employer na hindi ito ginagamit sa tama. Ung ibang employer kasi mas prefer nlang magsponsor ng 457 visa kasi bibgyan lg nla ng minimum pay ok na at tatagal pa sa trabaho pero ung mga local hindi tatanggap un lalo na skilled cla.
