    Hi po! Allowed kaya magdala ng dried fish/pusit sa Australia?

    I think OK lng. Yung sa experience namin nung tinanong na kami ng customs kung ano ang laman ng bag namin, sinabi ni misis na "dried fish". Bubuksan ko na sana maleta namin ng sinabi nya "no need to open, you can go". Haha! May incident daw kasi sa Syndey Airport once na pinabuksan ang dalang dried fish ng isang passenger at talagang di nila nagustuhan yung amoy. Talagang pina-spray daw yung buong arrival area kaya siguro ayaw na nila maulit yun. Hehe.

    Hello po, makikitanong lang po, anu po ibig sabhn ng CO contacted? Saka napansin ko po sa immitracker, may mga na approved na EOI (190 visa) sa NSW na ICT Project Manager, pero wala naman sa list of nominated occupation ng NSW, anyone have idea why this happens? Thanks po sa sasagot

    may stream 2 ang NSW, meaning all other occupations with high points, pwede mainvite. some occupations kahit 60 points naiinvite. they have list of occupations din na kahit sa stream 2 indi pwede like Primary school teacher, architectural draftsperson and others.

    @MissM, may mga members here na pag napreggy si wife by the time na naglodge, hihintay muna mapanganak for wife's medical to continue.. then sinasama din si baby sa application.. yung ibang CO naman, nanghihingi ng OB certificate, not really sure about this actually..
    curious naman din ako pag napreggy si wife bago ang BM.. i hope madali lang ang process.. May dedicated discussion about this: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/7121/pregnant-189-190-visa#latest

    Skilled Independent as it does not require sponsorship from the state. seeking sponsorship sometimes causes delays specially if your occupation is not available in any of the state migration plan list.

    Hello, guys! Nako-confuse lang ako, may 60pts na ako kaya lang marami akong nababasa na upon submission ng eoi, lower ang chance makareceive agad ng ITA kasi nasa minimum and first submitted, first invited ang system. Tama po ba? o may factor din kung ano ang profession? Ang naiisip ko po kasi ay baka per skill ay nag-aallot sila ng iiinvite o regardless of the profession, basta uunahin lahat ng may higher scores? Thanks po sa magrereply. God bless. :)

    @gillianLeoh2017 depende po sa occupation mo :) if you go to skillselect website makikita mo dun yung ceiling per occupation as well as the demand. Automated po kasi ang skillselect at ang priority nito ay yung mataas ang points, so kung marami ng nagsusubmit ng 65 and 70 points every month, mauuna sila mainvite kesa sa 60 pointers kahit nauna pa sya nagsubmit ng eoi :)

    Hi folks, ask ako ng advise. Last May 16, i got an invitation from NSW to apply based from my EOI. I submitted an application. But then after 2 days (May 18) i received a response from NSW for further information regarding my skills assessment from ACS. Meron pala skilled date which made my points not eligible for subclass 190 (I unintentionally misunderstood my acs skills assessment result, thought I have 9 years credited).

    so i lost hope since I cant appeal anymore to acs since its past 60 days. I was expecting that my application for invitation for NSW will be denied dahil i never submitted further information.

    But yesterday (June 23). I received an invitation from NSW to lodge a visa. ang question ko po, should i lodge a visa knowing that i lack points for subclass 190?


    ito po yung message from NSW last May 18 asking for further information:

    In order to progress your application, the following further information is required:

    Your ACS assessment indicates that:

    The following employment after October 2012 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
    skilled level and relevant to 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.

    Dates: 01/06 - 03/10 (4yrs 2mths)
    Position: Client/SMB Technical Support Senior Assistant
    Employer: Dell International Services
    Country: PHILIPPINES
    Dates: 12/10 - 12/15 (5yrs 0mths)
    Position: Infrastructure Analyst
    Employer: Citibank N.A. ROHQ
    Country: PHILIPPINES

    This means that you are only eligible to claim skilled employment after October 2012.


    Thank you for your meaningful advise.

    @saolmatt I can see the breakdown of your claimed points from your skillselect eoi? Kung ok lang ^^

    You can only claim 3 yrs employment which is 5points plus 5 pts from nsw sponsorship.

    Granted that you lack points for subclass 190 based on your claim ...wag mo nalang ituloy..

    @saolmatt what do you mean by Meron pala skilled date which made my points not eligible for subclass 190 (I unintentionally misunderstood my acs skills assessment result, thought I have 9 years credited)? Ang weird naman kasi, ilang total points mo sa EOI? Have you tried consulting a migration agency? Kasi baka mamaya may kelangan ka lang icorrect or ibigay na additional documents para magrant visa application mo... btw, musta na pala? Workmates tau sa Dell and RMH before

    @saolmatt so kung kulang points mo let that invitation expire kasi di mo rin mapatunayan given ur claims sa eoi. Dba 9 yrs nilagay mo sa eoi mo? Tapos 3yrs lang dapat according sa result ng assessment mo? Di mo kasi pwede i-compensate ang points mo sa ibang category kasi meron kanang eoi. Unless gagawa ka ng panibagong eoi na ang claim mo 3yrs na sa employment tapos 20pts sa english example lang. ^^ di ko kasi macalculate ..di ko alam breakdown ng points mo. Hehe yan lang ang pagkakaintindi ko sa situation mo.

    5points sa employment
    5 pts sa nsw sponsorship
    Age?
    Education?
    English?
    Partner skill?

    1. Do u still have your contract? Or meron ako nababasa dito gagawa ka ng affidavit - .. pero marami pa naman ways to prove ur employment..do u still have contact to ur manager or direct supervisor sa company na yan?
    2. If you want a partner skills which is additional 5pts magpa assess sya at mag ielts din- applicable to kung kulang na talaga points nyo.
    3. Yes as long as 32 ka pa the time you lodge ur application.
    4. Merong mga assessing body na required yong ielts for the assessment..so u need to check first ur assessing body if required ba.. meron kasing iba ok lang walang ielts. - u can check sa immigration site to calculate your score... age, education, english, employment, state/territory sponsorship for *190 and 489 visa, partner skills - given all that ..pre-requisite talaga ang positive skills assessment ng assessing body mo.. because u cant proceed to ur application without a positive skills assessment.
    5. Walang bayad ^^
