Hi po, I lodged a 189 visa and waiting for a grant and I really need your advise.

We understand that there is COVID and the borders are all closed. My Australian bf and I are looking at other options, para hindi po sana stagnant na naghihintay lang kami sa 189 which is hindi nila priority right now. We'd like other options to be running in parallel with my 189 grant waiting.
We are looking to do a partner visa or a student visa. We are not live-in, LDR po kami right now.
My questions are:

Is it possible to apply for a partner/student while I'm awaiting for a 189 grant?

Is applying for other visas (partner/student) override my the current visa I have applied for which is yung 189?

For the Partner Visa, if we are applying offshore, how do we prove that we are in a relationship? And is there an exception or waiver that can be applied for in terms of cohabitation since may COVID?
3 If a partner visa is granted, will we be able to apply for a travel exemption
Thank you in advance! 🙂

Given the limited information you’ve given, I would doubt if partner visa would work as you’re not in a defacto relationship with your boyfriend. There are 4 pillars to prove - financial, social, domestic and emotional. Being in a long distance relationship, it will be difficult to prove that the relationship is genuine and continuous. Case officers will always speculate on your case no matter what.

@cutiepie25 inarrow down ko lng mga ideas na pwde. Each visas are independent, so hindi maapektuhan kung mag apply ka. Mas matagal ang partner visa, need to prove na genuine and continuing ang relationship. Kung mag apply ng partner visa, may PDF booklet nyan, kahit igoogle mo lang, “partner visa migration booklet” ang title. Mas mahal din ang partner visa fee, nasa 7,455aud. I suggest, apply for a tourist visa, pag na grant, apply an exemption as a defacto partner of an AU citizen, just prove partner ka ni citizen. Pwde din sabay mo iapply ang exemption at ang tourist visa, write mo ang reference number ng tourist visa sa exemption letter application mo. All the best!

Hi po thanks for the advice! Pwede na po ba magapply right now for tourist visa and an exemption? Papano po pala ung exemption? What does it mean? Travel exemption po ba yun? Para makapasok sa Australia?

Hi. Since close ang mga state ngayon for 190, paano na yung mga EOI na lodge 2019 pa? Does it mean kelangan magresubmit ng EOI once they opened for 190?

Wala naman po nagbabawal na mag apply ng toursit visa, yun nga lang nasa immigration officials na kung igrant.. kung naka apply ka ng TV at na grant, mag apply ka ng exemption as immidiate family, as defacto ka diba? Pero need mo iprove na immidiate family ka ni citizen. Ang mga proof is pareho ng partner visa na nasa booklet ng partner visa migration.

hi! question and need clarification please. Mostly or all state sponsored visa 190 kailangan is living ka na sa state, does that mean lahat ng off shore/Outside Australia ang pwede lang nila isubmit na visa is 189? Pano yung mga previous na submission mo ng 190 na di pa required living sa state tapos iuupdate mo yung score mo ano nang mangyayari?

Mejo nawalan ako ng pagasa makapagmigrate sa AU. Supposedly early this year ako magaapply pero dahil sa pandemic nagbago lahat ng plans ko. Nawalan din ako work kaya hindi ko muna tinuloy yung plan ko magtake ng IELTS or PTE. Anyway, awa ng Diyos nakahanap naman ako ng kahit part time job maliit kita pero pwede na din.

Next year, gusto ko na ituloy magtake ng exam. Napagipunan ko na. After nun, ano na ba next step? Hihintayin ko ba magopen si NSW ng list of occupations? I'm 30 years old, single and an interior designer dito sa PH. Can anyone give me advice or walk me through sa steps? Or baka meron ditong ID din na nagapply din

Hi need mo magpa skills assessment muna. Gather all your documents na magpaoatunay ng experience mo as ID. You can search sa forum dito na may title about vetassess. Un kasi mag aassess ng mga ID

Nagreply ka din pala dito pero ayun nga nagather ko na coe and other docs ko from previous companies. Kumpleto na actually. Nagiisip lang ako kung dapat na ba ko magtake ng PTE kahit wala pang nillabas na list

You won’t need English test yet for skills assessment, fyi

If you are keen on lodging your EOI as soon as possible, you could take the PTE soon. If you get your desired score on your first try, great. Otherwise, you'd have to retake it over and over until you do, which takes time (and hopefully you won't have to do that). Maybe take this time to really study and prepare for the PTE so you only need to take it once. Also, you'd have to consider that the English proficiency exam result can only be used if they were taken within 3 years prior to getting an invitation. At this point, no one really knows how long it will take to get an invitation after you lodge your EOI.

hi ms @RheaMARN1171933 good day! I would like to seek your opinion about lodging multiple EOI for different state. For example 1 EOI 491 for NSW, 1 EOI 491 for VIC and 1 EOI for 491 in SA? same goes for 190.

I understand that states are still closed but gusto ko lang po sana malaman if mayrong negative effect yung ganyang application? I watched a youtube video saying na kapag ganyan ginawa nyo is maququestion yung genuine intention to live and work on a state. Tama po ba yun? any advise po for future application? Thank you 🙂

Hi! Thanks for this. I’mbe always thought Rnglish test was part of the requirements for skills assessment. I’ll read up on it more to get more information about it

I reviewed for the test the whole year. Still reviewing and trying to improve on my skills but since it isn’t required for the skills assessment, I’ll set it aside for now. Do you think it’s wise to get the skills assessment for now?

That’s what most people think. It all depends on the occupation and the assessing authority. You’ll be via VETASSESS which won’t require it at all. You’re actually not being time efficient if you’re focusing on English. Skills assessment is the make or break so this needs to be done first as it’s also time consuming. Good luck

Hello po, sharing my story on how I got an engineering job as a permanent resident VISA 189 holder arriving in Australia last February 2019. I believe there are still opportunities for HVAC skilled people even during this pandemic. Hope this helps!
