    Hi kung nasa SOL po kayo pareho e might as well mag pa-assess na din po yung secondary applicant sa inyo. Para claim pa ng 5 points para ma satisfy yung 65 points. If willing tlaga kayon na makuha yung 176 visa subclass. Iyon po ay kung may time at budget pa kayo to take another assessment for the secondary applicant.

    For my case po wala na tlaga akong budget to retake another IELTS exam and parang mag review at the same time work pa. So i just took the the 475 visa route kasi ok na to just to be able to live and work in Oz. 2 years lang naman po yung intayin para maka apply for PR kaya ok na din. Madami na rin po yung mga nag 475 visa dito sa mga kaforumers natin dito. like sir @sheep and @sohc. Tignan nyo rin po yung thread ni sir @sohc http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/338/overwhelming-job-offers-left-and-right.-dream-coming-true.#Item_99

    If di na po talaga kaya ni mister then might as well go for this visa subclass. Medayo natagalan na rin po ata kay ng application sa Vetasses diba?

    @k_mavs hello salamat sa adv, hindi pasok sa SOL ang work ko eh so inaasahan ko lang talga c hubby ko sa points..anyway ok na din cguro talga walang choice importante makapunta muna don saka nalng isipin ang pag PR.. pro wait ko pa din ang adv ng agent nmen baka magwan pa ng paraan.. wala na din kseng oras to take IELTS eh nakakainis lageng sa speaking ang sablay nya pro puro 8 ang score nya sa W-L-R..hayz
    anyway yung 475 ba mabilis lang ba ang pag process ng visa non? or matagal din?
    tama ba pag kakainitindi ko mag apply pa muna ng sponsorship like sa Perth bago makapag apply ng 575 na visa?
    at oo ang tagal ng inantay nmen sa vetassess halos 5 months din..

    @kellymacato Ganun po yata talaga. Minsan po may iba talagang tao na hirap talaga sa IELTS kahit na po gaano na yung review nila. hehe.

    Mabilis lang po yung processing ng 475. May ilan po dito sa forum na within 1-2 months approve na agd yung visa nila. I-weight nyo lang din po yung mga optoins nyo if you need wouls like to pursue this visa kasi nga diba wla tong benefits unlike pag PR visa ka na. Pero kung may funds naman kayo at work na makukuha sa Oz pagdating nyo dun e wala ka na sigurong magigigng problema.Saka po yung 475 visa Regional Spomsored po sya which means sa Regional areas or low populated areas ka lang pwedeng mag live and work. In the case of WA yung Perth is not considered as Regional Area kaya di ka pwede mag work dun. Apply ka muna ng 475 SS sa WA. Good Luck po!

    @k_mavs and @kellymacato - Perth city is now considered regional, so pagkaka-alam ko, pwede na sila magwork sa city.. dahil sa sobrang kailangan nila ng manpower sa WA...
    therefore i can say na applying for 475 in WA is a good option, na parang 176 na rin in terms of working opportunities...

    see below announcement from DIAC:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Regional classification for Perth – 12 September 2011

    Following the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship’s recent announcement to include Perth in the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS), a number of changes have been made effective from 12 September 2011.

    -the inclusion of Perth as a regional area for family sponsored applications through the regional General Skilled Migration program.

    nacheck ko yan, only relative ss 475 is allowed to work in perth kapag state sponsored hindi pwede. Dati kasi binalak ko di yang perth since my cousin ako dyan.

    Link: http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/rsms/Pages/RegionalclassificationforPerth-12September.aspx

    Ok naman ang 475, 1 year full time work & living 2 years in regional area PR ka na. Pareho tayo sa IELTS din ako nahirapan, kumuha pa nga ako ng partner skills. I think 70pts na kami nun but just to be 100% sure 475 na lang kinuha namin. Nakakatakot din mag gamble since it's P131k worth.

    halos 1 month lang processing time namin sa 475 visa. Advice ko lang better do all the possible solutions before July 2012. Ako dati namili pa ko ng state, then sumablay inabutan tuloy ako ng new pts system. Thank God at nakalusot naman.

    @kellymacato Kapag visa 176 po pwede kayo makapagwork sa Perth or anywhere in WA. But for a REGIONAL sponsored Visa 475 you could only work on regional areas not on Perth and some areas not designated as Regional area by WA. Ito po yung lists of post codes of areas applicable for SRS visa 475 http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/regional-growth.htm#vic.

    Wala pa po ako sa Oz. Kakalodge ko pa lang po ng 475 visa ko last March. 18, 2012 kaya intay pa rin po ako. Family din po kami punta sa Oz with our baby. why not try po na mag pa sponsor sa cousin nyo if ever pwede na syang mag sponsor para mas ok at pwede na kyo sa Perth mag work.

    @kellymacato - tama si @k_mavs.. Perth will only be considered regional kung ang nag sponsor syo eh RELATIVE mo (with visa 475).. so in this case, pwde ka magwork all over WA, including perth..

    pero kung STATE ang nagsponsor syo when applying for regional visa 475, hindi considered regional ang perth...so sa mga regional areas ka lang talga pwede mag work..

    The Skilled Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa is a temporary 3 year visa which would
    enable you to live and work in a regional area of the sponsoring state. Under the present
    General Skilled Migration regime, once you have lived for two (2) years in the specified
    regional area and worked for one (1) year in the same area, you will be eligible to seek
    permanent residency. We confirm that employment does not have to be in the nominated
    occupation.
    State Sponsorship
    We confirm that your nominated occupation appears on the subclass 475 occupations list of
    Western Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory.
    We confirm your earlier instructions that you prefer Western Australia as the sponsoring
    State.

    @kellymacato - yes po.. sa regional scheme, hindi lahat kasali ang mga main cities (ex. perth, sydney, melbourne...etc).. hence the term "regional".. so that means SRS 475 will not allow you to live/work in the city..
    i guess may link na binigay sa taas si @k_mavs kung anu ang mga defined areas na regional..

    Yung sakin po kasi sandali lang yung processing mga 1 day lang po. 475 visa WA SS po yung sakin. Di ko lang po alam kung lahat ng occupations ganun sila kadali mag approve.

    @kellymacato Ay di ba po ang sabi nyo may cousin kayo sa Perth? Di ko po alam kung tama yun? If meron baka pwede kayo Family sponsored na 475 if PR na siguro sya dun. Hanggang 1st cousin lang naman yata yung pwdeng degree kapag ganun e.

    Yun din po dati yung pagkakaintindi ko sa Regional Sponsored na Pwede mag apply ng work sa Perth based dun sa announcement dati ng DIAC which is mali pala. Applicable lang pala yun for 475 family sponsored visa. Hehe. Pero may mga regional area naman na malapit sa Perth like Mandurah kaya choose ka na lng kung san kayo pwede dun.

    your not allowed to work sa perth if 475 State sponsored. If makakuha man ng work sa perth you may have problems applying for 887 PR visa later on.

    Relative sponsorship is possible if nasa SOL1 yn position ng husband mo.

    Yun kasi ang provisions ng visa 475 na you are required to live and work in regional WA for two years (1 year work & 2 years living in WA). kapag na satisfy mo na siguro yung 1 year work sa Mandurah e pwede ka na siguro mag work sa Perth while living in Mandurah or any regional area. Hehe. Yun din kasi plan ko kapag nakdating na ko dun.hehe. Sa work naman siguro depende naman siguro sa occupation mo kung may makukuha ka agad or wala sa labas ng Perth. Pero kung di ka choosy kahit anong work siguro pwede muna just to satisfy the 1 year work that is needed in your requirements for PR visa.

    @kellymacato Yup hirap po talagang mag decide. Kapag working visa po na 457 hindi po tlaga kasama yung family. Swertihan na lang po yung may makukuha ka na employer who is willing to sponsor kasama yung family. Mas maganda siguro for me is yung makapunta muna kay ng Oz and see what are your options when you are already there. Yun lang po talag mahirap kapag may anak na kayo lahat ng decisions dapat i consider.

    @kelly - i've read this from DIAC's website:
    -----------------------------------------------
    From 475 - Pathways to Permanent Residency
    When can you apply for a permanent visa?

    You can apply for a permanent visa after you have:
    -lived for two years in a Specified Regional Area and worked,
    -including being self-employed, for one year in these same areas.
    -----------------------------------------------

    i highlighted the "self-employed", technically that means you can open a business with 475 provisional visa.. but be sure to check with your agent to be sure..

    hello pedeng mag tanong ulit? nag email kse ung agent nmen:
    eto sabe nya: tanong ko lang di ba kasama ang Mandurah?

    The eligible postcodes in Western Australia (where you are sponsored by the same for a subclass 475 visa) that you can reside in are as follows:

    · 6041 to 6044

    · 6083 to 6084

    · 6121 to 6126

    · 6200 to 6799



    Please expand on your research for e.g. websites that you visited in respect of job opportunities or schooling etc and be more specific as to your reasons for wanting to reside in those regions to demonstrate to the assessor that you are genuinely interested in remaining in that region(s).
