Skilled migrant visa needs you to meet a minimum score and must have a positive skills assessment( must meet a minimum no. of years experience to get one). At this time, it is unlikely you qualify. Saan ka ba gagraduate and what course? Maybe student visa is your stepping stone.

Hi all, I'm already here in Sydney and just wanted to know if anybody can confirm. May nagsabi sa akin na agent na kapag tinapos ko yung course na Telecommunications Network Engineer (CRICOS Code 099115D), mabibigyan na ako instantly ng positive Skills Assessment para sa Temp Grad visa. Meaning na no need na magpa-assess kay Engineers Australia at diretsyo apply para sa visa.

Tama po ba ito? May legislation or any online official document po ba na pwedeng iconfirm to?

nag-aral ako dito as Master of Electrical sa WSU. ung Uni namin nung first year ko nde pa fully accredited ng Engineer Australia(EA) dati kaya pag nag graduate ka need mo pa rin gumawa ng Career Development Report)CDR . Luckily, nung nag graduate na ako na fully accredited na siya "natandaan ko pumunta sa school namin ung EA at interview kami ng mga tga EA. Sabi ng professor namin ganito sabihin niyo na ganito mga tinuturo etc. para pag nag graduate kau full accredited na Uni naten ma assess kau agad ng EA. Naging fully accredited kami ng EA nagparegister lang ako sa EA at pinass required documents and na assess na kami without CDR report kasi fully accredited na ung Engineering Department namin sa Uni. Need po pa rin magpa assess kay EA pero no need na para sa CDR. Ma gragrant at ma gragrant ka ng Temp Grad Visa dahil nag-aral ka ng 2yrs course.

@jbuan dapat din pala e check mo ung Uni mo kung fully accredited siya ng Engineer Australia otherwise gagawa ka pa din ng CDR.

Wouldn't a completion letter from the university be sufficient to apply for 485 Visa?

P.S. I'm not Eng grad, but from Archi-related degree, finishing this sem. Planning to apply for 485 before my student visa expires.

Anyone who had an experience to apply for a temporary visa 485 pero Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Information Technology or anything under sa SOL yong natapos. I've researched online that only Bachelor or higher level (Post graduate stream) are not eligible for skills assessment pero yong (Graduate Work stream) or Diploma level need mag pa assess sa assessing authority. Let me know how it went sa time na nag process kayo. Thanks for sharing po ☺️

I haven't applied for 485 yet (as I'm still studying), but the DHA website already shows the step-by-step instructions.

[https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485)

The basic things you need to have are:

Valid Passport - ideally valid throughout the duration of your grad visa Health/Medical Exam - book this as early as possible. not sure how things are now, but back in July/August 2020, the earliest schedule I could get was 2 months away, and it wasn't even the closest Bupa center to my location.

Skills Assessment - only if you are applying for Graduate Work Visa Stream (no need for this if Post-Study Work Stream) Health Insurance - you must have health insurance cover for the duration of the grad visa. I believe this is called Overseas Visitors Health Cover.

Australian Federal Police Check English Proficiency Test - IELTS. not sure if they accept anything else.

These are the requirements for a single applicant. Addtional documents need to be submitted if you have dependents.

I really recommend you book the medical and English proficiency exams right away, as the earliest schedule can be months away. You only have 6 months to apply for the 485 visa (I'm not sure if this has changed due to COVID) from the time you received your completion letter (not your graduation ceremony or the day you receive your diploma). And you need to ensure that your student visa is still valid by the time you lodge your 485 visa application. Once you've lodged your next visa, you will automatically be issued a Bridging Visa A that comes into effect when your student visa expires.

I have posted this under vetassess thread, posting it here as well sorry for double posting:

Hello po. Just want to ask medyo confuse po kasi ako. I have 2 terms left to complete my dual course: Diploma in Project Management and Advanced Diploma in Program Management. I know I need assessment to apply for graduate visa and I am aiming for Management Consultant under vetassess. Upon checking kasi sa qualification requirements ng nominated occupation nakalagay "qualification assessed as comparable to AQF Bachelor degree or higher".

Does this mean na di papasok ung current courses ko since diploma lang cya?

I have completed Bachelor degree sa Pinas, pero pagkakaintindi ko is hinde pwede combine qualification ipaassess ko and only Australian study lng ang pede ko ipaassess when applying for visa 485.

I hope someone can give me some info. Thank you.

Hi Guys, sana matulungan n'yo ako.

Dapat gagraduate na ako noong July 2020 kaso I failed a subject. I was able to secure a new COE kasi I needed one more term to complete my Bachelor's in IT. I have lodged my Student Visa application noong August 8th without a health check, kasi naka stage 4 lockdown na noon si Melbourne (andito ako that time). I was given until December 7th to undergo health check.

Nakapag health check naman ako ng November 23, so kungbaga, all set na, antay na lang ng grant. Now hindi ko sure kung igagrant pa kasi as of November 30, graduate na ako kasi nacomplete ko na 'yung subjects. Sabi rin ng education agent ko, up to 6 months ang processing, so I'm afraid baka madeny.

December 18 idedeactivate yung student e-mail at credentials ko. I was advised by my agent to apply na for a Graduate Visa (may possible akong pathway to 189). Ngayon tinanong ko if pwede na ba ako mag apply noon eh may ongoing Student Visa Application ako.

Sa tingin nyo ba dapat na ako mag-lodge ng Graduate Visa?

Thank you in advance!

Sarili lang. Pero doble ingat pa rin lalo na sa documents dahil maraming nagkakamali dito. For example, nag lodge na wala pang completion letter at transcript. No no ito sa mga temporary graduate visa. Also english requirement, police clearance at medicals - mahalaga itong ma pass

I believe overseas qualifications can be included in VETASSESS applications (otherwise all those people overseas could never migrate). The fact that VETASSESS specified "AQF Bachelor degree or higher" means that the overseas qualifications has to be assessed to be equivalent to an Australian degree. It will be up to VETASSESS to say whether your PH bachelor's is equivalent to an Australian one.

Just a side comment though, as far as I know, Management Consultant is more relevant to Business rather than Project Management. If you have a Commerce or Business degree, then you can see if you can get assessed for Management Consultant occupation. If you don't and you are only relying on using your Advanced Diploma in Project Management to get assessed for Management Consultant, you should rethink your nominated occupation, since they are two different occupations. Perhaps look into Project Management roles. Just because an occupation includes the word "management" does not mean your Project Management diploma will be an exact fit. You need to really look into the tasks/duties of the occupation.

Hi guys,

magapply pa lang ako ng 485 visa. Yung accompanying/non-accompanying members of the family unit po ba, kailangan ba talaga ilagay ang parents? nilagay ko na sila pati yung de facto partner ko. Pero tanong ko lang para sigurado. Ang hassle lang kasi pati address history ng family kailangan kahit di ko sila nilagay as applicant.

Tapos sa Australian study requirement, ano po yung difference ng Australia study Requirement at Eligible qualification? Nag yes lang ako dun sa Australia study requirement

Mizai01

@helloiamalexa member of family unit is yung spouse and children lang. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-text/eplus/Pages/elp-h0175.aspx

Mizai01

@helloiamalexa info on Australian Study Requirement https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485/australian-study-requirement

I believe yung Eligible qualification is yung ipinapaassess sa assessment body depending sa occupation selected mo. pwedeng mong ipaconsider yung australian study mo or pwede rin na gamitin is yung previous tertiary qualification mo overseas (i.e. college sa philippines). this is only what I know so better follow it up with research din online.

Nasa list kasi nung relationship yung Biological parent so naisip ko na baka dapat siya iinclude. Nung nagapply ako ng student visa, nilagay ko parents and siblings.

Pero kung nakalagay dun sa form na partner and dependent child lang. I guess dapat tanggalin ko na sila?
