Reply to @its_lein:


a) would you know if applied online or not? if yes, you should have a TRN- transaction reference number... you can use this to check your application status..

b) who submitted your application? yung agent ba or ikaw? and did you nominate them to deal with DIAC? or syo ang official communication?

c) did you pay the visa application fee approx 3000aud? or ung 399 dollars lang? - im asking kasi yung consultation fee is for the agent/advisor... and visa application fee is paid to DIAC....

Problema ko po kase meron po akong COE pero di po nakastate dun yung oras na nagtrabaho ako at yung weeks din po.. Posible po bang yung current lang pwede nakastate.? at yung old na COE ko as is pa rin po.? pa advise naman po. Salamat po!

Reply to @Rhapza_21: actually, requirements po kasi ng DIAC and ACS (for my skills assessment) yan for all employment references. di ko lang po alam kung meron na nakasubok na kulang ang info. antayin natin kung may magreply na iba na may similar cases. sa akin po kasi sinunod ko lang lahat ng pinapapalgay na info ng DIAC at ACS.

Reply to @lock_code2004: unti unti na pong lumiliwanag na malabo na nga yata ang application ko hahhaha biro lang po, to be honest ngayon ko lang naintindihan ang mga ginawa ko 3 years ago. Nuon submit lang ako ng submit ng kailangan na docs then if need na magbayad nagbabayad ako as in wala talaga ako sa sarili yata nung nag aasikaso nito. Lunch time na po, kain na tayo. Thank you po ulit. Bukas po or later when i get home masasagot ko na lahat ng tanong ninyo sa akin

Reply to @lock_code2004: nagbrowse po ako ng email ko may nakita ako from DIAC sana makatulong ito,
Client ID: 77094150408
Application ID: 1220527198
File Number: BCC2009/82319
anu po ang maitutulong ng mga details na yan para malaman ko ang status ng appliction ko..sensya na po ang kulit kulit ko sa inyo.

Reply to @Rhapza_21: ang skills assessment po requirement pa din para makapag-lodge kayo ng EOI sa skillselect. magkaiba po sila. so depende po sa nominated occupation nyo, meron pong specific na assessing party. for IT, it's ACS; for Engineers, it's EA; and some other groups for other occupations. check nyo na lang po kung san po kayo dapat magpa-skills assessment.

Rhapza_21

@hotshot salamat..Honga nabasa ko actually concerned ko na lang yung COE dun sa nirerequired nila na nakalagay per week, per hour kase mukhang malabo ko maayos yun kase di nagbigay yung company ko ng ganun details. It's just normal COE lang nakalagay pero kumpleto naman ako.. ayun lang salamat po ulet!!!!

Hi! I am not sure kung natanong na ito previously.

My husband is the main applicant (engineer ang work so pasok sa SOL) however, we're thinking na magpa-assess din ako. the problem, my line of work (tourism industry) hindi pasok sa SOL. QUESTION: 1. Yung partner assessment ba eh may malaking push sa point system? 2. Given the above scenario, pwede pa din ba ako magpa-assess and leave the skills part with zero point and bumawi ng bongga sa other parts? or it is REALLY A MUST na yung skills/work eh pasok sa SOL?

Hi po sa lahat!
Graduate po ako ng BS Civil engineering ngunit ang trbho ko po ay Planning Engineer(moslty my experience).. Pkiadvisan nman ako mga Sirs/Ma'ams kung pede p rin ako sa Civil Engineer code 233211? kahit na ndi purely civil engineer ang experience ko... maraming salamat po in advance....

lock_code2004

Reply to @itsmeRLP: welcome to pinoyau...
several things to remember:

1) partner's skill assessment is additional 5 pts..
2) both of your nominated occupation SHOULD come from the same SOL schedule..
3) of course, you can get other points, if you can prove that with your documents..

lock_code2004

Reply to @durst_07: as i suggest always, please check ANZCO code job description... if you think you have that skill and you can demonstrate that with your experience and the cert of employment/job description.. then you are good to go...

lock_code2004

Reply to @its_lein: in this case, the best thing to do is follow up with DIAC..

See the link below from DIAC:
Go to Post-lodgement enquiries , and follow either or both of these method:
- Use the GSM Post-Lodgement Enquiry Form.
- Contact a GSM Processing Centre.

http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/visa-enquiries/professionals.htm

Make sure you have all your information ready.

lock_code2004

Reply to @its_lein: i dont think the australian embassy in the philippines can help you.. dahil ang processing ng mga papers ay nasa either adelaide or brisbane (based dun sa website link)...
may telephone number din dun.. baka pwede mo din tawagan...

Reply to @lock_code2004: eto po ang reply sa akin wala pa po talaga yatang naka allocate na case officer sa akin -->475 Skilled – Regional Sponsored within 4 weeks of lodgement 13 January 2012* Allocation not commenced*

lock_code2004

Reply to @its_lein:
I EDITED this para mas malinaw:

The date says,
a) all application for Visa 475 normally can be allocated with a CO after 4 weeks of lodgement (Priority 3) ..
b) applications from Jan13,2012 onwards eh wala pa CO, that means all application before that date eh meron na dapat CO..(Priority 4)
c) Priority 5 processing has not commenced yet...

2009 pa po ang application nyo.. so kung tutuusin.. dpat meron na kayo CO..

one question po, state sponsor po ba kayo? or relative sponsored?

Hi po sa lahat!
Ask ko lang po...
1.) kung ano po ba ang nominated skill na nakapasa dapat po ba yun din ang magiging work mo sa oz? Kc ang hubby ko po ay architect at nakapasa sya sa architectural draftsperson skill assessment sa vetassess. Pero ang problem ang arki draftsperson ay nasa CSOL na ngayon. Plano po nya mag pa assess again as Project builder kc nasa SOL1 po ang skill na yan, kaso nag aalangan sya kc hindi nya gusto na project builder ang maging work nya sa oz. Pwede po ba na mag pa assess sa project builder pero iba ang work pag dating ng oz?

2.) Total 60 points lang po ang makuha ng hubby ko. Kasama napo dyan yung nasa dulo na "family sponsorship = 10 points"...kapag isama po ba namin yang 10points ng family sponsorship, dapat po ba na subclass 489 visa ang i-apply or pwede po kami sa 189 dependent?

Maraming salamat po sa mga magrereply in advance. God bless!

lock_code2004

Reply to @malt:

1) pwede po magwork ng iba other than the nominated occupation.. The skill assessment/nominated occupation is for the purpose of DIAC's assessment only.. A person can have several skills, but DIAC's requirement is to nominate only one..

If for example a person is both an Engr and an Accountant, thgy can only nominate one occupation, Assuming he nominated Engr (for visa purposes), that doesn't mean na hindi na sya pwede magwork as an acct pagdating sa AU..

You can work for any other job aside from your nominated occupation..

2) Kung kulang ang points nyo, mas kailangan nyo ng sponsorship...
yes if you want to apply for family sponsorship in designated area (with additional 10 pts), this is for visa 489.

Visa 190 po - nominated by state is only 5 pts
Visa 189 is independent..

hi po, ask ko lang after taking IELTS, anu napo ang next step?
san po ba ipapasa ang requirements?

Reply to @lock_code2004: eto po yong email na nareceive ko from DIAC sa last part sinabi nya na priority 5 ako un po ang lilinawin ko sa knila na bakit namn umabos ng 3years ang application ko.

I am writing to update you with information regarding your General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa application and the priority processing arrangements in place.

The information contained in this email is for information only and you do not need to take any action.

This email also contains instructions on how you can obtain the latest information about when your application is nearing assessment by a case officer.

Priority processing arrangements

A new Ministerial Direction came into effect on 1 July 2011 establishing new priority processing arrangements for Skilled Migration applications.
This Direction determines the order in which the department considers applications. Applications accorded a higher priority under these arrangements are assessed ahead of lower priority applications, irrespective of when the application is lodged.

In line with these arrangements GSM has commenced assessing skilled migration applications which fall within its processing responsibility in the current order:
Priority 1: Applications from people who have applied for a Skilled - Regional (subclass 887 visa)
Priority 2: No GSM applications are included within this group
Priority 3: Applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency for an occupation specified on that agency’s state migration plan
Priority 4: Applications from people who have nominated an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) - Schedule 1 in effect from 1 July 2011 (http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1.pdf)
Priority 5: All other applications

Your application is now grouped in priority 5
