As long as you meet the minimum eligiblility of points there’s always a chance. I’ll be more concern with the age more than anything else. Given both of you are in your 40’s there is urgency of time. Focus on exhausting all possible ways to maximise points. Watch out at the EOI stage as it’s easy to make mistakes without knowing. I’ve had people come to me wondering why they’ve not been invited yet, upon review of their EOI’s they discovered how much they’ve missed out on things. Because of your age, you’ve got this only chance to make it so make sure you’re on the right track. With regards to employer sponsorship, I always tell my clients to be open to this. No harm to keep looking whilst working on the skilled visa. If any chance you find a sponsor for 482, grab it, enter on this visa whilst continue on waiting for an invite for 189/190/491. Once you get an invite transition into PR. Your friend is likely referring to 482 transitioning to 186. There are uncertainties on this firstly there’s no guarantee if the employer will sponsor you for 186…. I wouldn’t rely on this option to sort your future to Australia.

ang tagal na pala netong thread na 'to! Quick updates - I just lodged my Au citizenship yesterday!

Hello po, anyone here who’s currently waiting for their 491 SE visa grant? Since when are u guys waiting?

@quielsangil, matagal na itong thread na ito pero may I know if you had to get an OEC from DMW/POEA?

Ako self review lang with Ielts Liz. Try nyo makinig ng mga BBC na mga documentaries para mahasa kayo sa accent. Nood kayo sa YT ng ABC News din! Practice lang ng practice. Kayang kaya nyo yan.

They are just after our money! > > @sillyloo sorry I just read this. I have the same sentiments with @JuanAUS kaya I terminated my contract with them na. Unfortunately, they said that based on the contract there is no refund kasi ang "money back guarantee" is applicable only if nasa visa stage ka na and the result is denied. I agree with @JuanAUS para talaga akong na.scam. Kaya I terminated na rin kesa magsayang pa ng pera. And tbh, wala na rin sila recent posts kung may na PR ba sila na clients. I asked them this and they only said many of their clients are experiencing similar challenges. Haha I admit rin naman I should have done more research and check with other agencies, nagtiwala kasi agad ako. Ang enticing rin kasi nung seminar nila dito sa PH. Tapos last year ko lang rin nakita itong Pinoy AU na forum.

Baka kasi di mapili pag kulang yung nakalagay. Nasa EOI ko puro numbers lang, wala yung nsa parenthesis. Wala naman cguro problema yun when it comes to invite. Not sure lang sa visa grant if factor or hindi.
