    @fortunate_engr for me lng, i think you have to submit the TOR of your wife kasi your are planning pa naman to submit a CEMI (certificate of english as a medium of instruction) as proof of her functional english. sayang ung ITA mo noh. pero baka hindi pa nakaceiling ang profession mo kaya no worries or mataas points mo...

    Sa mga nakaalis na po under visa 489 State sponsored, ano po ba nilalagay sa reason for going to australia kapag nag aanswer sa airport of sa plane? Diba may ganun?

    Kasi im not Permanent Resident yet, on Provisional Visa langc ilalagay ko ba dun Migration?

    Baka kasi may hingn pa?

    Ano ba need ilrepare? Passport and just the Visa Grant? Sabi kasi ng iba we dont need PDOD daw. San ko ba makikita requirements ng pag alis? Pwede ba ako mag PDOS na din para sure incase hanapan ako nun. May bayad ba yun?

    @rosch kme din nanghihinayang eh... pero nung nalaman namen na mas mahal at mas matagal pala pag pinasunod ko sila at dun ko lang sila in-apply ng visa, naisip namen na mas ok pla pagsabay-sabay kame magapply ng visa

    @batman @kisses1417 nag english test na ang wife ko at ok naman ang score nya..un na lang sana gusto namen i-submit..wala ng TOR..pede na kaya na wala na kameng submit na TOR nun?kasi meron din daw syang problema sa University nya kaya di nya rin makukuha ung TOR nya eh..

    Hi,

    tanong ko lng regarding sa partner skills, currently kasama ko mag ina ko here in Singapore with 1 baby (9 months old). Just want to confirm, whether you want to claim points for your partner or not, required ba tlga ni mrs mag IELTS exam din tpos magpa assess ng kanyang work experience and qualifications? khit hndi ko nman e cle claim ang partner skills points?

    https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-?modal=/visas/supporting/Pages/skilled/partner-skills-documents.aspx

    Partner skills

    Proof that when you were invited to apply for this visa, your partner:

    - was under 50 years old
    - had competent English.
    - had a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for their nominated - skilled occupation. Your partner’s nominated skilled occupation must be on the same skilled occupations list as your nominated skilled occupation.

    Thanks,

    If not claiming point for partner, no need to take ielts and skills assessment. Just the transcript and diploma from school then certificate of english as medium of instruction :) @rechie

    Thanks @rosch ! Cge mag PDOS na ako. Ayaw ko kasi ng baka mahassle ako kung pwede naman gawin ko na lang din and kung informative naman pala.

    @Strader yes mag ganito na lang tayo din. Nakita ko parang need magregister online. Try ko nga tumawag mamaya :)

    Kung 400 lang naman, mag PDOS na kami ni husband. Pano yung baby ko? Hehe

    @hopeful_mea nagpunta ako sa website for reservation sana kaso under the dropdown list, wala naman choice na visa 489. Ang mga meron SI 189, 190 meron din ibang provisional visa pero wala yung 489 which is yung visa ko.

    Tapos may nakalagay who sponsored your visa? Wala naman choice na state/terriotory? Ano ba sinagot ng mga may visa 190 dito?

    Strader,naG PM ako sayo hehehe

    @kisses1417 i think itong 'who sponsored your visa', ito ung 'petitioners data'. ang primary applicant ang ipinalalagay dyan sa tagaCFO.

    @kisses1417 salamat.e clarify ko lng.kung hndi ko e cli claim ang partner skill points, need ko lng ba e submit kpag hiningi na ang transctipt nya? Or kelan ko sya e sa submit?

    By the way, sa transcript nya naka indicate na ang medium of language is English, so I believe hndi na kelangan pa mag IELTS or any English exam?

    Paki confirm nman kung tama, anyone please.

    Salamat,
