Is a 476 visa really required (or just ideal) to apply for the 189 visa?
- No. They are separate visa's with separate application processes.
How long after being granted the 476 visa can I apply for the 189 visa?
- You can apply anytime.
And can…

I applied on-line.
You will get 15points if you get your bachelor's degree assessed by EA as equivalent to an Oz degree.
You get additional points for years of relevant skilled occupation as assessed by EA (i.e 5pts for 1 year Oz ex…
@Itsmeeh_Claire Hi. I don't think it's allowed. If you look at the visa grant notification for the secondary applicant and it says 'NO ENTRY BEFORE A SPECIFIED PERSON' or something like that then the primary applicant must enter Australia first.

@heysoulmister they might ask about the visa as it's not particularly popular, so bring your visa grant notice.
You don't have to show a return ticket.
@guboer If you're apprehensive, take a 1 week vacation anywhere in Oz just to fulfill the initial entry rqments. That way your visa doesnt expire, and you have 18months to think about moving down.
Finding a job and migrating is a risk, in all hones…
@mbls15 Hi. April is a bit far off. Not sure if it will still be available by that time.
If you're still searching for a place 2- 4 weeks before you move, give me a shout.
Cheers!
@Phiaus The standard CDR assessment can get you 15points for your educational qualifications. The assessment of relevant employment can get you additional 5points at least. It all boils down to how you want to get the 60point requirement.
@leah28 Yes, catering service. I remember I used to do both international and domestic flights.
On another note, it might also be helpful to read AS/NZ standards especially if a job requires knowledge of the Australian codes and standards. I remem…
Ive submitted my EOI for visa 189 last 6th of July, however I didnt upload any documents for EA and PTE-A. Tama ba na hindi kailangan mag upload ng docs? Thanks!
@emboll33 Yep may cover letter ako sa lahat ng applications, pero simple lang sa mga kitchen assistant roles.
I remember putting experiences which I did not have - although I am certain I have the skills and can do the job. It's not exactly ethica…

Oo nga eh. I took IELTS twice and failed to get 8 in all bands, which is what I need.
I even booked for an IELTS test on the 11th of July in Makati, sayang sana nabasa ko agad itong thread na ito. Haha.
But really, the links and the files helped …
Just want to share my PTE-A story. I saw this thread 21st of June, and out of excitement I booked an exam on the 23rd. I took the exam in Melbourne.
I read the Macmillan reviewer, and followed the tips here. I can say this thread really is a time …
@emboll33 I enrolled for the food handling course in Melbourne CBD. Costs about $50 for a half day course. I am pretty sure there's also an online course.
After that I 'tweaked' my resume, and sent out applications on seek. I didn't bother modifyin…

@Futures Sorry sobrang late response. Sa experience ko mahirap sa una. It took me 30days to get my 1st contract job in melbourne, 4 months yun. Tapos after 3months pa ko nakakuha ng another role in Sydney pero this time its in line with my interest …
The results of the ielts usually come out 13days after you take the test, so even if you wait for it (assuming youve taken the test), you should still have time to lodge before your eligibility expires.
What i might do if i were in your situation i…
