Good evening po everyone. I would like to ask about my visa po sana, currently my husband is the main applicant and he has just finished his studies. We are confused, should we apply for a graduate visa or should I study for a masters? Which do you think is better po ma’am?
Please po. By the way, cookery po natapos ng asawa ko.
Thank you po. Have a good night.
It depends on what your goal is. Do you need to study to be able to nominate an occupation in the Skilled Occupation List? If not, won't a Temporary Graduate Visa have more beneficial work rights for both of you? A Temporary Graduate Visa will enable both of you to work full time for at least 18 months, whereas a student visa has a restriction of 48 hours per fortnight for both of you. If your husband doesn't get full time work experience, will he still have a good chance of being invited to apply for a skilled immigrant visa in the future? I'm assuming ang goal nyo is to get PR eventually.
Sir, salamat po sa pag reply. Our main goal po sir is PR. Ang occupation po ng partner ko sir ay Chef, gusto ko po sana mag masters in construction engineering para ako po ang main applicant. While waiting po sa number of hours na kailangan nya mag aaral po sana ako. Pagkatapos ko po mag aral makukuha po namin yung plus points na masters+regional nag aaral+ partner ko with positive skills assessment.
I suggest you talk to a migration agent to better understand how the upcoming changes from the new migration strategy may affect your plans. Kung mag-aaral ka ng Masters matatapos ka after 2 years pa. By then, in place na yung bagong points system na hindi pa natin alam kung ano exactly yun. In the meantime, your husband only has 6 months to apply for a Graduate visa. The age cap for Graduate visas will also be lowered from 50 years old to 35 years old next year, in case that affects you.
At this point na maraming pagbabago sa migration policy ng Australia, sa tingin ko mas maigi to discuss options with a professional. Sa tingin ko, and this is just my personal opinion, it might be safer to go with a visa that will enable you to transition to an employer sponsored visa faster. Based on the new migration strategy one of the areas the government is working on is to provide a PR pathways to workers on temporary skilled visas. So you can try to take advantage of that din dahil nandito na rin naman kayo.
