Hello anybody here who tried applying for hospitality works onshore (kumbaga po as temporary work)? I’m thinking coffee barista, like do they need or ask for prior experience. Because I do have some experience in coffee but on the processing part (grinding and cupping) and now I’m seeing some coffee barista courses online (administered F2F) and I kinda wanna take some. Baka lang gumana kumbaga as a way to put my foot forward to being hired. Thanks.

Each State has their own list, eligibility rules, and requirements.

Thanks. Yes, for 190/491 it's recommended you submit separate EOI for each State na qualified ka

Navigating the de facto visa application process can be challenging, but community advice is always helpful. Taking a break with [Minion Rush mod APK](https://apkpond.com/minion-rush/ "Minion Rush mod APK") sounds like a great way to de-stress!

> @lunarcat said: > Hello- 186 DE here. Sydney metro area. > Sinabay yong visa application + nomination last 28 August 2024 ko, cleared medical 1st week of September, wala pa balita until now. Meron ako nabalitaan na sabay yong nomination approval and grant. Yong workmates ko is after 16 months na approve yong visa. Mabagal si 186. > > Eto yong timeline sa pinaka last na approve samin. > Occupation: Developer Programmer > Application: 15/10/2023 > Grant: 20/01/2025 This is very promising para sa situation namin! We just don't want the hassle of exiting Australia when our visa expires so the answer is we lodge our visa kahit waiting pa for the nomination approval. Thanks for sharing this!

Nagenroll na din ako sknla. naka 2 take na kasi ako pero kapos tlga sa superior. Ung 2nd take ko konting konti nlng eh . 1 pt nlng sa speaking tapos 3 pts sa reading. Ginamit mo ba ung binigay nilang structure/template for describe image ? Yes ginamit ko yung sa PTE magic. Nag substitute ako ng mga words na madali ko mamemorize at mabigkas.

For people who are based in SG and are having problems s evidence of payment for ACS, I highly recommend Austral. They are based in SG and they are an expert based on our experience. Too bad I actually signed with an agency in Australia but they didn’t manage to help us on our documents - waisted 3500 aud on them and time.

finally got the invite for the ceremony - March 13. 3-4 weeks nga before the actual event yung pag-receive ng invite.
