    Yup ganun din ginawa ko, was honest with the HR department wala naman naging problema. Straight out sinabi ko for migration purposes. Twice kasi ako nanghingi. First is for the ACS, then after few months hingi ulit ako for Immigration department naman. :)

    Hello po!

    Bago lang po ako dito, nag iipon pa ako ng informations regarding my application, nag nonosebleed na ako hehehe.BTW po, Electrician po ako, ang plan ko na aplayan since close na ang Family Sponsored, baka try ko ang Skilled- Nominatde or Sponsored (subclass 489) na visa.

    I am married po with 2 kids. Naisip ko lng kung possible kaya na, ako lng mag-apply for visa, is it possible kaya?Sino na po may experience sa ganun, tpos saka na lang request ang family pag stable ka na.

    Thanks po..

    Hi to all! Bago lang po akong member sa forum na to.

    Yung husband ko po nagsubmit sa ACS last June16 ng requirements. As of today, ang status ay nasa authorized assessor parin. Ang worry po namin, ang nilagay namin dun sa application form (ACS) ay Network Admin. (ANZSCO code 263112). It turns out, wala na sya sa new list (SOL 1 & SOL 2) effective July 1, 2012. Anyone with the same experience? Any views sa possible na mangyayari? Sayang di kami umabot.

    Originally, we're eyeing for the skilled sponsored visa since nasa Sydney na relatives namin. But since iba na nga ang policies, I'm thinking if we try to apply for the state sponsorship...do you have links po sa SOL ng different states? preferrable NSW sana since nandun na nga mga relatives namin..? THANKS PO for the help!!

    Thanks sir bryann! I've already checked, wala relevant occupation for him under the skilled regional sponsored migration...pero dun sa skills required nakalagay naman yung Systems Administrator, mukhang pasok naman sya dun..kaso nakalagay updated Sept 2011, sana applicable parin..

    Sir, san pong sites makikita naman yung skills for other states? kahit na di sa NSW, pwede naman siguro..hmm..pahirapan na talaga..TNX PO

    Reply to @meg04: it looks like you're confused with the SOL Sched 1 and CSOL schedule 2..

    Please read this thread:
    http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/545/updated-skilled-occupation-list-effective-from-1-july-2012#Item_46

    In short, if your husband's skill is Network Admin - 263112, i can see it in CSOL schedule 2, that means pwde qualified sa Visa 190 or 489 ang application nyo..

    And yes, Visa 190 is state sponsorship...

    hay, maraming salamat po! nakahinga ako ng maluwag kasi nasa CSOL schedule 2 parin pala yung occupation ng husband ko..pwede parin pala kami i-sponsor ng tita ko (visa 489), kaso yun nga lang, valid for 4 yrs lang yung visa..unlike yung visa 190, can work & live permanently anywhere..kaya iconsider narin siguro namin yung state sponsorship..salamat po! basta wait nalang muna namin yung result from ACS and magreview narin ng IELTS..hehe

    After checking sol or csol, check mo na po requirements for assessment as well as evaluate ur own points din po. :) then ielts. Kaya nyo po yan!

    Sir lock_code2004, pahelp naman po baka mas may alam ka, kc ELECTRICIAN ako, pero pwede ko e-nominate ang ELECTRICIAN (GENERAL), to be honest nacoconfuse ako, kung ano visa ang pwede kong e-apply. Meron akong sister sa Australia, Melbourne pwede nya rin ako sponsor.

    Pero until now I got confused on which visa to apply.

    @Jamchai08: eto ang sagot ko sa mga tanong mo.. (saka ko na ipadala ang consultation fee ko.. hehe)

    Electrician (General) is in SOL Schedule 1.
    1) You can apply for these visa subclasses:
    - Visa 189 (Independent) , dahil nga po nasa SOL Sched 1, meaning kahit walang sponsorship eh pwede kayo mag apply.. basta kailangan nyo masatisfy lahat ng other requirements including 60 pts of course

    - Visa 190 (State Nominated) , pwede din po kayo mag pa state nomination, pampadagdag 5 points.. remember mas mataas ang total points sa EOI, mas mabilis ma invite for visa application

    - Visa 489 (State/Relative Sponsorship Regional) - this visa is Provisional Valid only for 4 years, eto ang visa kung kulang ang points nyo.. dahil ang state/relative sponsorship regional is additional 10 pts..

    2) It doesn't matter kung wla kayong work experience outside the philippines. Work experience is called "Overseas" meaning outside of Australia.. kasi meron ding ibang points if you work in Australia.. if you check the points system.. magkaiba po un.. kaya wag malilito..

    @Jamchai08 - if you want to pursue Visa 489 ( Relative sponsorship Regional), you need to make sure na ang relative mo is living in a designated area..

    Please double check here:
