    Para sa mga umaasa sa invite nabasa ko lang sa Expat forum. So baka lang nagka technical glitch. Hopefully, di natin kelangang maghintay hanggang January para magnormalize yung invitations nila.

    Well, I got information from my company that Australian Immigration system is under maintenance till 15th Dec. This has resulted in a slowdown in processing and filing the application. Apparently DIBP is facing technical glitches.

    @auitdreamer baka pwede mo basahin at irecord yan.. share

    Hello everyone! Meron ba dito may experience na nakakuha ng ITA for Visa 190 for an ICT occupation? Currently kasi, meron ako 55 pts. If makakuha ng invite from NSW, magiging 60. Just want to check kung possible makakuha ng ITA sa 60 pts lang. Thanks in advance :)

    Matatagalan. Probably more than a year of waiting, baka wala pa dahil competitive ang application sa ICT at halos lahat eh pro rata.

    Mas matagal pag under stream 2 ang ICT occupation mo.

    Hello @MikeYanbu you may refer here: http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Heal/meeting-the-health-requirement/arranging-a-health-examination#

    For the cost - based from other, 6600 sa St. Lukes. Yung list of panel clinics are shown here: http://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Help/Location/philippines

    Wala po sa Bacolod, I think nearest would be Cebu.

    Hi guys! Ask ko lang how to determine the appropriate evidence type or document type pag mag-uupload ng docs? For example, NBI Clearance, sa Overseas Police Clearance na document type ba dapat? Also, yung other documents like passport or birth certificate, can I attach them to different evidence types?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    @MikeYanbu hi Mike, mas okay St Lukes although sa Nationwide ko dinala baby ko sa makati. Based sa experience ko mabagal sila. Sa mga nababasa ko dito sa forum ok sa st lukes sa BGC.

    Normally one day lang tapos na medical yung result nun mga 2-5 days depende sa clinic. Pero normally mabilis lng sa BGC compare sa nationwide.

    Best news ever para sa mga tulad kong IT (at para din sa nurses) na nag aantay ng ITA:
    Nurses now are NOT NOT PRO RATA
    ———————————————–

    At last some good news from DIBP

    We had speculated that the decision to make Nurses Pro Rata did not make any sense and that maybe it was an error in our 5th December thread. We emailed the DIBP policy area the same with our thoughts as to why this had been an error from the Department of Education who administer the invitations. They had not replied.

    We contacted the DIBP facebook page (as we had still not received a reply from the all important policy area). The DIBP facebook page advised us that Nurses had been made Pro rata on purpose ?? you can see that below :

    Incorrect facebook advice DIBP initially gave

    As a result we posted threads earlier today about that.

    However …. in breaking news we have just been advised by the DIBP policy area (the part of the department that administer the 189 visa program) that in fact Nurses are NOT Pro Rata. That this was a mistake in the last few rounds.

    And further the decision to not invite any IT/Computing Occupations in the last round was also a mistake that will be rectified in the 21/12/2016 round.

    That seems good news and it seems that from the 21st December skill select round, that Nurses will no longer have Pro rata restrictions on it which means that 60 points should be enough to get an invite. Also 489s (family sponsored ) will not be open again for Nurses.

    DIBP also confirmed that the IT/Computing occupations will be invited again and the missed Pro rata places will be allocated to (according to what DIBP advised us).

    ALSO DIBP just told us that confirmation of this will be included in the 7th December Skill Select results which will be published shortly.

    Worst clinic is Nationwide Cebu and yung FB page nila puro negative feedback.. yung eldest son ko mag 2 weeks ng tinutulogan ang medical exam results.. mahirap makontak kung tawagan. Pagsumagot naman, puro assurance lang binibigay and shitty reasons like, walang doctor or busy ang doctor kasi marami pantients.. laki na ng gastos ko kakatawag.. pero no choice kasi sila lang ang accredited sa Cebu.. I hope mapasara sila para di na makapurwesyo.
