Hello, since you have an existing application I would say to just wait for a bit. Hang on, you are almost there. I am taking the student pathway to add more points tbh. And it costs a lot of money and also visa restrictions. Save up your money so you'll be ready here and can work on your own. Students are restricted to work 40 hours per fornite only. If you want to gain more knowledge on your nominated occupation and money is not an issue, then you can take SV. Just my two cents.
Hay actually prinoproblema nga namin ng Aussie bf ko kasi ung 189 grant ko sobrang tagal due to COVID. Kaya we’re looking for ways to get there quicker, na pag nagopen ang borders, makakapunta ako agad.
Assessed po ako as Bachelors section1 uni, so meaning ba nito bachelors ang pinakamababa kong pwede itake? Bawal ang graduate cert at diploma?
TYIA!
GradCert and GradDip are higher than Bachelor degree (they are nested within Master's degree programs, so usually universities ang nag-offer nun, I haven't checked vocational schools if they do). Diploma and Advanced Diploma yung lower than Bachelor. GradCert is equivalent to postgrad-level studies for one sem, GradDip for two sems (1 year), so that wouldn't count for Australian studies. Unless, of course, you go for 2 GradDip, but since the cost is about the same as a Master's degree (since uni ang nag-ooffer nito), you might as well take the 2-year Master's degree to get points for AU study (more points if you study in regional area).
If you're after a lower tuition cost and you meant studying Diploma/Advanced Diploma, I think you can still try for that, but you need to have a really good reason for it (like changing careers, that's why you need to reskill or something). Ideally you would not do a AdvDip on Marketing, for example, if you've finished a Bachelor degree in Marketing, kasi mas mababa yung AdvDip than Bachelor, and the topics are the same. In the end kasi, you need to be able to prove your GTE to DHA, that there is career progression and you only plan to stay temporarily (although in reality you want to stay long-term).
I'm no migration agent, but I don't know if you will be able to get a SV if you already have a 189 application that is pending grant (since makikita sa ImmiAccount mo that you've lodged a visa na).
