Hi guys so medyo mahaba to, I graduated with a degree in ECE specialized in Internet Protocol Networking sa isang Section 1 school pero nagwork ako sa IT Network related na role. Around 6 months worth of experience lang meron ako in total and now pinapa student visa ako ng family ko sa Australia kasi may family ako dun and gusto nila dun na rin ako, balak ko mag masters in IT (Networking).
Ang gusto ko lang malaman is pagkagraduate ko, balak ko mag gain ng experience with my Post study 485 visa while fixing my 189 visa. Since around 6 months lang ung experience ko dito sa Pinas plano ko mag work for 1-1.5 years sa Sydney before doing the skills assessment as a Network Admin/Engineer. What are my chances of getting a good skill assessment by ACS? Since pag nagwork ako dun after ng masters ko, total work experience ko ay nasa 1-1.5 years pa lang in total.
Have you looked into the 189 visa? Priority ang offshore now, nag iinvite sila as low as 65 pts as of late. Maabot mo yan kahit wala ka work exp points. Baka better option yan than going the SV route. PR invitation rules change a lot, for sure pag grad mo ng Masters iba na naman ang trend. This is speaking from experience.
Given that there’s only 6 months experience, skills assessment won’t be successful which means he won’t be eligible for 189,190 nor 491 visa subclass. At the the same time, what you mentioned about student visa is correct- procedures might change by the time he’s finished his studies….but looks like his options would either be carry on with work to gain more experience or go via student visa, being mindful that legislation might change by the time he’s done his studies.
If he goes the ACS route then an assessment is not possible, but for EA it can be done. I was also checking the points reqd for offshore applicants that immigration posted - it was as low as 65. That score can be reached easily (Age = 25/30, Educ = 15, English = 20, single = 10). Could be a good thing to try rather than go SV which is lengthy, costly and does not guarantee anything in the end.
Ah yeah, had to read his post again. I didn’t realise his qualification is ECE. That’s right, no go for ACS but EA could work without work experience. We’ve handled many cases like this. And with regards to GSM visa pathway, we’ve recently had invites with 65 points and even with just competent English, so yes it’s possible lately.
I’m a product of a student visa pathway myself but not a fan of it in terms of PR pathway due to the fact that it’s an expensive way to get to Australia without any guarantee that it will work. However, if he really is decided to study, what he can do is lodge the EOI onshore and see if he gets an invite whilst he’s studying and if he does then respond to the invite and quit his studies once visa is granted.
