Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

@katlin, I don't think papayagan nila ang Debit Card kasi for such cards, you can only spend what's in the bank account so as good as cash siya and you cannot charge an amount greater than what you have with Debit Cards
@tobenhood, IELTS remarking…
@katlin, I'm not sure which bank you use but personally, I have tried negotiating with BPI & Citibank to increase the credit limit...sabihin mo one-time transaction lang yung increased limit para mas madali ang approval
@katlin, iba kasi situation ko hehe...I found an employer who will train me here before sending me there...so as much as I want to lodge my visa on my own, nasa kamay nila kung gaano kabilis ako makakarating doon
@katlin, aaaaahhh wala po kayo work? yun po siguro dahilan...pero basta matagal na kayo kliyente nila at di kayo nallate sa pagbayad usually pinapayagan naman nila yun...
Kung may iba pa kayong bank accounts, properties or investments, puwedeng sup…
@katlin, yan ba yung online visa lodging fee? Kung credit card ka, tawagan mo ang bangko mo, magrequest ka ng special increase of limit sa transaction na yan...Papayag mga yan, dagdag negosyo sa kanila e hehe...BPI and BDO are even willing to arrang…

@nindroid , natanong ko na kaibigan ko...shared accommodations daw sa CBD Melbourne nasa A$800 per month. Wala siya kilala na may vacancy so far pero marami naman daw na 'room for rent' postings dun. Punta kayo gumtree.com.au at pag nasa Melbourn…
^ In fairness po, mas maganda unemployment rate ng Australia kaysa sa atin. Australia is at 5.2% while the Philippines is 7.1%...partida pa yan at mas marami population natin kaysa sa buong Australia hehe.

@itchan, unless ang trabaho sa I.T. ay magtrain at magturo ng tao, most likely General Training IELTS ang dapat mo kunin.

congrats sir tootzkie at jaero.
I am not sure for other states, but for NSW, tinaasan na nila ang immigration grants so we should expect a lot more of us hopefuls to get to Australia just in time before the big 2012 immigration change is implemen…
Dun sa agent's fee, di pa kasama diyan yung per hour consultation charge nila. Magtanong ka lang sisingilin ka na
@batman, yung general assessment, most likely yan yung points testing..titingnan nila kung aabot ka sa 65 points or kung eligible ka…
I agree with tootzkie in that taking the IELTS first might be the best options for most people because obtaining the "ideal" score can be a little frustrating.
In fact, some skills assessment will even require you to show the IELTS results befor…
@batman, depende sa state...yung in demand sa isang state not necessarily the same for others.
