Hi po!

I am a Chemical Engineer and already working for 4 years in the industry and planning to move in Australia.

1.5 years sa Waste Water Treatment Operations Company (as Process Engineer)
and currenty 2.5 years sa Production Plant (as Foaming Manager).

I would like to ask sana if anong magandang i-apply na ANZSCO for EA?
Chemical Engineer or Plant Engineer?
Saan po sa dalawa ang may mas malaking chance makakuha ng VISA 189?

Thank you in advance po sa mga mag rerespond! :smile:
I think you can go with either of the 2 since they seem related naman. You can review the ANZSCO descriptions of each and see which is closest to what you are currently doing.

Thank you for your advice po. I'll review ANZSCO descriptions so that I could align my CDR with it. God Bless po!

189 vs 190

Which one has a higher chance of approval? Field assessed by ACS.

Thanks!

hello po, question po regarding EOI application. hingi lang po ako ng advice nyo, I have a visa 476 that's on process po. it's a holiday visa that enables me to live, work and/or study in Aus for a period of 18mos. most prolly it will be granted within this year and I have already submitted my EOI. what would be the best option po kaya? i have these scenarios:

wait for invite while in the ph, from invite up until lodgement, need po ba na nasa PH pa rin ako?

hold EOI application, wait for visa 476 grant, fly to Aus and submit eoi while in Aus.

may other options pa po kaya?

hope someone can respond po. thank you 🙂

Generally walang bearing ang EOI til mainvite ka and maglodge. Kung ang EOIs mo ay for 190, just check the state reqts kasi some states need their applicants to be offshore/residing in the state (might be different nowadays). Leave it as it is for now malay mo mainvite ka agad, cancel mo na 476 mo pag ganyan.

Malapit na magrant 476 mo. My brother who lodged back in June 2020 was granted finally a few days ago.

—

that’s nice to hear! i submitted rin po Jan 2020. i’m planning sana magamit ung 476 early next yr while waiting for invite para makaipon rin for visa application lol. although, ang dilemma ko lng po is pag nainvite ako this year, tama po no, na need ko muna magstay sa ph until ma-grant? Or until lodgement?

Thanks!

You should check if your occupation can go for 189, or check which state you can apply for 190. It's not a question of 'higher chance of approval' - maggrantan ka ng visa sa either 189 or 190 pag eligible ka at nasatisfy mo points reqt. It's more of a question of what visa type you can apply with your occupation.

Hi guys, magtatanong lang po regarding sa filing ng EOI for Onshore applicants.

I have questions on 2 cases if working onshore.

Case 1. I'm working onshore (part time), and ung work ko is RELATED sa Nominated Occupation ko, pero hindi siya nasama sa Skills Assessment. Do I still have to include it in my EOI?

Case 2. I'm working onshore (part time), BUT, ung work ko is NOT RELATED sa Nominated Occupation ko. Do I have to include it in my EOI?

Salamat po in advance sa tulong. 🙂

Hoping for advise and clarifications, especially kay Ma'am @RheaMARN1171933 .

Thanks and goodluck sating lahat sa new financial year. 🙂

Thanks.

It's safe to not claim for points for that since it was not part of the the skills assessment. You could include it in the EOI, but mark as NOT relevant.

Case 2. I'm working onshore (part time), BUT, ung work ko is NOT RELATED sa Nominated Occupation ko. Do I have to include it in my EOI?
You could include it but mark as NOT relevant.

Kailangan po ba ung RSEA para makapag-claim ng points? May positive outcome from EA at AQL Level na Bachelor degree...ung CDR from current employment which is more than 10 years...Pa tulong naman po. Salamat po.

Pwede ko rin bang hindi ko na i-include sa EOI ko ung part-time work ko (either the work is related or not related sa Nominated Occupation ko). Ok lang ba yon? May negative effect ba yun sa application ko if hindi ko i-include sa EOI ung part-time work ko?

Thanks pala sa response @_sebodemacho .

And salamat din po sa tutulong in advance.

I believe as long as 20 hours per week considered siya.

Be careful on claiming points upon EOI application na hindi related sa nominated occupation mo, baka ma overclaim points, and will create possible issue in the future. Make sure to tag it as non-related sa nominated occupation.

I actually DONT plan on claiming points for it kahit related sa nominated occupation ung part time work.

Ang question ko actually is, pwede ko bang i-exclude or hindi na isama yun sa EOI. As in, pwede ko bang hindi na i-input ung part time work na yun sa EOI, since hindi ko naman iki-claim for points yun?

Thanks again sa mga response. Hoping to get clarity on this. Salamat. :smile:

yung friend ko naexpired ung pte exam nya tapos nagexam ulit sya. tapos ung bagong pte result un ung snubmit nya bago sya maglodge nung nov24 kasi nainvite sya nung oct6. ngayon, nakareceive sya ng outcome letter from immigration na nirefuse dahil hnd daw nasatisfy ung exam na before lodgment date. e kaso nagexam nmn sya bago mag lodge kasi nga maeexpired ung luma nya ng pte.

then mali ung lodgment date na inindicate nung assessor. oct21 daw ung lodgment pero nov24 namn tlaga. oct21 kasi ung retake ng pte pero hnd un ung lodgment.

ano po bang magandang gawin dito? ang mahal kasi nung appeal nasa 3k plus aud.

I think naging ganyan ang outcome dahil on the day of invite, expired PTE nya. Dapat kasi at the time of invite, valid ang docs kaya marami rami dito last year na di nagcontinue ng paglodge because of expired docs. Hintayin naten input ng iba.

Hmm by lodgement kasi iba ata ang term nyan sa iniisip nyo, baka ang iniisip nyo is when you lodge the visa app. Lodgement could mean different sa side ng immi, pero dapat talaga na valid lahat ng docs by the time of invite.

Also saw this page on the immi website:

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/english-language/competent-english

Nakalagay na dapat at the time of invite, less than 3 yrs ang english exam. So yan gawin nyong basis dahil yan ang sabi sa immi website.

Hi. Just wanna be clear on this, my agent adviced me to tick both Visa 190 and 491 in a single EOI account applying for all states.

May nabasa po kasi ako dito before sa forum na it's best to create separate EOIs para hindi ma lock yung account once mainvite ako for one subclass.

Any thoughts on this? Thank you very much.

The instructions on EOI is to provide information on employment within the last 10 years. We normally ask our clients to provide what EOI is asking for. They can always not claim points on episodes that they don’t intend to claim for anyway. Hope that helps

I have the impression that everyone wants to go to NSW (cause Big City), those who choose or chose other state, may I know why? Just want to know my options.
For my case, NSW lang ung nag positive. If I had a choice, I would choose Tasmania since it's a colder region and I feel it's a bit underrated. Then Victoria next, 3rd choice ko lang ang NSW to be honest. haha

From Tasmania here, yup malamig po dito hehehe 😃 Usually po talga target are big cities.

Hi, from tassie here and galing kme ng SG. In my opinion only, before kme lumipat ng tasmania nag work kme sa Sg for 13 years. Siguro naghanap lang kme ng hindi masyadong crowded and more nature feels. Yes po usually big cities ang target more opportunities and depende s lifestyle na gusto mo. Ang kalaban nman dito sa tassie is ung lamig. Iba iba din and weather ng ibang state, I've been to Sydney and melboune, I can say n almost same ng weather Victoria and Tassie, hindi gaanong malamig sa NSW, I mean s Sydney kasi merong part ng NSW n nag ssnow din.

Just one EOI for all states? Pwede naman siguro but I that's kind of odd, even my agent did otherwise. Important to note na each state has a requirement, for example the last FY kay VIC either 491 or 190 lang pwede mo piliin. Other states want just their state ticked sa EOI rin.

I think it's most strategic to lodge separate EOIs per state. And be mindful of the requirements per state also.
