    @iamvee hello. Nag lodge ako nung sep 28 lang. Ikaw ba? Ako din mga end of nov or first week of dec plan ko apply ng tourist visa. Plan ko mag new year sa oz :) though unemployed ako now. Pag nag apply ako ng tourist visa ok lang naman na wala ako maprovide na COE no? The usual docs lang mapoprovide ko. Twice na ko nagrant ng tourist visa sa oz and ive been there few times. Hoping magrant ako tourist visa kahit unemployed. Pero syempre mas hoping ako na ma approve ang visa 489 :)

    yep, within the last 10 yrs lang na work experience lang ang valid.

    You can get invited for 489 kahit 60 points lang. it depends sa nominated occupation I think. May certain occupations na capped kc sobrang dami ng nsa queue like accountants, IT, electronics engineer, etc. wherein walang maiinvite na 489 kapag na-exhaust na ng 189 ung places.

    If yung occupation mo ay wala dun sa capped list of occupations you have a chance to get invited for 489 with 60 points kc konti ang applicants at immigration has allocated certain number of places per occupation not just in total.

    Example, if you submit an EOI for social worker as your nominated occupation, most likely you will get invited even you only have 60 points for 489 kc konti lang ang applicants ng occupation na yun. If accountant ung occupation, you will not get an invite with 60 points either 189 or 489 kc sangkatutak ang applicants na may mataas na score.

    Below is the latest skill select EOI report/score:

    https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/Pages/20-september-2017-round-results.aspx

    For 489, someone got invited with 60 points and that person submitted his/her EOI on 19-September-2017.

    If you are more comfortable to use a migration agent go for it.

    I'm Australian in paper but pinoy in form....Living in the most liveable city in the world...Melbourne! Oi, oi, oi!!!

    Hello everyone, I just lodge my 489 FS last 4 of Oct and Immediately got my Bridging Visa A which will take effect on 22 of Dec. Medyo sad ng konti kasi sinagad ko talaga ung waiting time for 189 kaso pinaasa lang ako beshy.. I lodge my EOI last August 7 2017, Then next day got my invite for 489 FS. So nag wait pa ko ng nearly 60 days bago ako nag apply for my 489.

    Anyway going back sa thread for everyone asking po sa messaging me. 489 Family sponsored po means you can go to any state or territory as long as it is a designated area:

    Designated Areas
    All Post codes Everywhere in the Territory
    ACT
    NT
    SA
    TA
    VIC
    WA

    except sa NSW
    Everywhere except Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong
    Postcodes- 2311 to 2312, 2328 to 2333, 2336 to 2490, 2535 to 2551, 2575 to 2739, 2787 to 2898

    except QLD
    Everywhere except the greater Brisbane area
    4019 to 4028, 4037 to 4050, 4079 to 4100, 4114, 4118, 4124 to 4150, 4158 to 4168, 4180 to 4899

    so madami po opportunity to live and work while under 489. except sa NSW and QLD pili lng ang postcodes. pero andyan ang VIC and WA

    It also means that you don’t need to be on he same state sa family n nag sponsor sayo.

    Good luck satin lahat! :)

    Hi guys! Ask lang po ng question - as subclass 489, ano po ba ang medical insurance preference nyo? Yung covered sana pati ang pregnancy para in case mag deliver ang wife sa AU ay covered? And how much monthly? Hopefully someone can share their advice. Thank you
