How does Skill Select Works?

<blockquote rel="katlin924">@peach17 Thanks sa info.. sana nga di ganon kalaki yung change pagdating ng July 2013.. 🙁

Isa pang question, ano yung mga weeks na yan, like yung 5 naging 7weeks, tapos ngyon 10weeks. Ano yun? Sorry..</blockquote>

this is the approximate turn around time bago magkaroon ng CO...

<blockquote rel="katlin924">@psychoboy Aaaaahh.. from the time they got the invitation right?

Pretty fast compared to last year's application process.. Thanks for the info! 🙂</blockquote>

Not from the time they got the invitation... Process is like this:

(1) IELTS/Skills Assessment

(2) Lodge EOI

(3) Get Invitation

(4) Lodge Application

(5) Acknowledgement

(6) CO Allocation

(7) Visa Grant

in between 4-6, yun yung sinasabi nila na it can take 10wks.... 🙂

sorry sis @katlin924, late reply. Pero nasagot na ni @Psychoboy hehe 🙂

dati kasi once mag lodge ng visa application, nakalagay na within 5 weeks ma aallocatean na ng CO. naging 7 weeks, then ngayon 10 weeks na.

Thanks @peach17 and @psychoboy! 🙂 Na-gets ko na.. well, mabilis pa rin ngayon compared nung nag-apply ako dati halos 6months. So far, it was cut into half.. ok pa rin yan 🙂

Galing nyo! Sana si BF din maging okay din ang processing. 🙂

I have not been reading the reports for the invitations given by DIAC but it seems that in the February round pala hindi nagamit ang total number of allocated invitation.

I reckon this means na lahat ng 60pts who submitted were given an invitation?

Sa March round binabaan ang 189 invitations to 950 per fortnight... 🙂

@cchamyl sayang di na tayo umabot. 🙁 tama ba na mas okay na magsubmit tayo ng EOI ngayon kahit ubos na ang ceiling para mas mauna tayo sa queue?

another question. yung ACS kasi inassess as comparable only AQF diploma instead of bachelor's degree yung education ko, wala namang section dun sa EOI na i-specify kung ano yung verdict ng ACS so ang calculation ng EOI is 65 pa din ang points ko. Di ba to magiging issue pag nagsubmit ako ng EOI? Tama ba na kahit na diploma ang assessment ng ACS yung DIAC pa din ang mag-dedecide kung ilang points ang i-aaward sa education qualification?

You are right that DIAC is the one that decides the number of points to be awarded for education qualification however they usually follow what was recommend by your skills assessment authority...

So if I were in your position, I would just claim 10 points for education... Remember that in the event that DIAC finds out that you overclaimed more points that what they have given you, this is a valid ground for visa refusal.

And they are strict with this...

rara_avis

@psychoboy clarify ko lang how i can claim 10 points. In the education history section >> qualification drop down field.. instead of selecting Bachelor Degree in Science, Business or Technology, I should just select Advanced Diploma, right?

Am not too sure entirely how it goes for diploma but your statement above kinda makes sense; di ko alam ang other options available for you to choose eh...

But definitely claiming 15pts will be deemed a risk if I am to give my view.

rara_avis

@psychoboy Thanks. I guess its better to underclaim than overclaim points.

how about for claiming work experience? vetassess only assessed the current job/work right? vetassess only assessed my current work as more than a year. But I have 2 more work experience closely related to my nominated position as a chemist. which is 2years and 4 mos (1st job) and 8 mos sa 2nd job. total is 5years but they just assessed my current work exp as more a year (1 1/2 years). Di ko pede iclaim n 5years?

ask ko lang kung pwede bang magpasa ng dalawang SS (like Vic and SA) at the same time? Tapos kung sino lang ang mauuna mag invite yun yung magiging sponsor ko? tama po ba or dapat isa isa lang? medyo naguguluhan pa rin ako.

@psychoboy and @rara_avis

pampabuhay loob dun sa mga applicants na nasama ang job code sa naka-reach na ng occupation list... i searched for reports that would somehow forecast the job codes that will still remain in SOL...

just a brief background.. from what I've read the SOL list is based on the report provided to them by AWPA (Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency). If you go to their site, it will tell you this information and that they based their report on the reports provided them by agencies and corporations that would demonstrate why a certain job code should be in the SOL list... Please see below link for a copy of the March 2012 report they provided to the Minister of Australia...

@cchamyl, ma'am makikisingit po sa usapan ninyo. Nakakalungkot po yung report kasi wala na po sa appendix 2 yung occupation ng hubby ko pati ng ate ko. Kung di po pala makahabol yung vetassess at ielts result parang nagsayang lang kami ng vetassess application fee 🙁 Sana naman hindi final na ganito din ang mismong CSOL sa july.

babybluelyn

Meron po kayang nakaka-alam kung gaano ka-final yang Workforce Development Strategy na yan, based po sa mga previous years? Kung nung mga previous release nila ng report e talagang yun mismo ang nasa SOL/CSOL? Salamat po.

cchamyl

Hello @babybluelyn... pwede ka punta dun sa DIAC reports and sa AWPA.... meron nman cla list nung old reports nla... 🙂 wag ka masiraan ng loob... wait ka lang... dun naman sa skillselect wala namn announcement ng bagong list... and nakalagay pa dun na whatever ceiling has been reached will be refreshed on july 2013

babybluelyn

Ma'am @cchamyl, maraming salamat po. Nga po pala, dun sa report sa skill select, 3,360 ang ceiling ng architectural draftsman, tapos 60 pa lng po ang invitation as of February 2013, kaya nga po nagtataka ako bakit nila tatanggalin ang occupation na ito kung di pa po nangangalahati man lang sa ceiling. Anyway po, maraming salamat talaga ulit.

Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help me clarify some confusion. I'm about to send my SS application for 190 in the DIAC website. However, the message I got before clicking the SUBMIT button is

The EOI for this subclass is able to be completed. The client's claims equal 55 points

As per the DIAC website, though, it says I need 60 points to be able to apply. My questions are below:

Do the 55 points I got from SS include the Skill Select nomination points?
If I only got 55 points, why is it still letting me continue with the application?
Does this mean I automatically get declined for SS?

Help please! Thank you! 🙂
