@VirGlySyl and @ms_ane thank you so much for the clarification.
@au_2019 thanks po sa suggestion. Section 3 po kasi yung school ko at hindi umabot ng 2GPA ko. May chance pa din kaya kung ireappeal ko? Thanks!

@coolitz_12 from my experience in handling cases, section 3 has always been equivalent to an Australian diploma. I would not advice any client of mine to appeal.

Matanong ko lang po. Regarding sa invitation rounds and occupation list, sa current trend na 85 points above ang naiinvite, paano po ba allocation nun per occupation list? Or basta 85 points regardless of occupation list ang naiinvite?
Nung tinignan ko po kasi ang immitracker halos 75 points lang ang mga naglodge ng EOI for 2335 anzsco and since january wala naiinvite.

After PR Approval - How Soon Para Lumipad to AU
Good day po, pasensya na po kung wrong place pero within the context at category naman po.
We've been approved 189 Visa, me and my family, last Feb 2018 expiring on 2023.
Anyway, ang tanong ko po, naririnig ko kasi na dapat within 2 years bago magexpire, so dapat 2021, andun na kame. Kasi baka hindi kame marenew ng PR kung sasagarin namin yung visa expiry bago kame lumipad.
Me bearing po ba yun or pwede namin imaximize say till 2022 to fly to AU?
Thank you po in advance sa mga sasagot.

@IvanHoe14 on the visa document that was given to you, there should be a date as to when you should enter Australia by to activate the Visa. If you fail to enter by that date, you fail to activate the visa therefore it would no longer be valid.

VETASSESS
Hello, anyone here na nakapagpa-assess sa Vetassess? Planning to DIY. So far ito ang mga certificates that I have prepared. Ang nominated job is ANZSCO 225499.
· TOR – certified true copy
· Diploma – translated in English
· Certificate of English as Medium of Instruction
· Certificate of Graduation
Sa work, ito naman:
· Statement of Service sa current company – signed by my IS (i don't think makakakuha ako nito sa HR eh)
· Statement of Service sa previos company – for signature pa lang ng HR or senior colleague ko
· 1st payslip and latest payslip (sa current company ko lang, no copies na sa previous company eh)
· ITR
Aside dyan, may ibang documents pa ba na kailangan? May nahanap akong certificate ng completion ng boot camp sa work, relevant ba ito?
Thanks sa sasagot!

@RheaMARN1171933 - thank you po sa info. Actually, sumulat po kame sa immigration kasi April ang binigay na first entry which is too short. Tapos meron pa kameng maliit na kid. So, to cut the story short, pinayagan naman po kame na mawaive ang first entry. Naconfirm pa namin sa kanila, sinabihan din kame na valid yung visa till deadline.
Kung ganun po kaya, can we maximize it or we need to be there at least 2 years before para marenew pa ang aming PR?
Thank you po.

@IvanHoe14 if that’s the case, you would need to check with them as yours is very different to the usual circumstance. They usually set the entry date based on the expiry of the police and medical clearance. And this is what I have mentioned many times in this forum regardinh timing of submitting these documents as I would rather prefer for my clients to submit them when case officer requests for it vs submitting them earlier as it gives the applicant morevtobtime to prepare for the big move.
Anyway, I would contact them as soon as possible to get to the bottom of this rather than relying on advice from this forum.

@RheaMARN1171933 - makes sense. Ok po thank you sa advice.

@IvanHoe14 same case here! They waived our initial entry too, i stated my reasons.. Pero next near naman ang punta namin, medyo kapos lang ng ilang months ang IE kaya hindi na kami mag IE, doble gastos lng kasi 5 kami.

@IvanHoe14 no worries. each case is different so it’s safe to either contact immigration or someone knowledgeable with immigration process and qualified to provide advice. Not because it works on one doesn’t mean it works on everyone. You would have the peace of mind if you get first hand information from a reliable source than from someone’s experience. Good luck. I’m sure you’ll be fine in the end.

Hi guys. Need help po. Medyo confused po ako about sa new addtl points. Makakuha ba ako ng extra 5 points sa partner ko na defacto if mag take siya ng english exam (competent score) kahit na AIN lang siya dito? Nag apply na po kasi ako ng EOI sa Skillselect and in-ask din if ano skill niya dito. Balak ko pa naman siya pag take in ng english exam this month. Please enlighten me. TIA.

New points won’t take effect until 16 November. Also, make sure you are in a de facto relationship, meaning living together for at least 12 months

@RheaMARN1171933 Yes, naka defacto relationship na kami and on Temporary Graduate visa expiring soon. Ako po yun nag aral dito and RN na and siya AIN. Yun question ko po, kelangan din ba na nasa skilled occupation siya + has competent english to gain extra 5 points? Or basta competent english okay na?
"5 points for applicants with a spouse or de facto partner who has competent English" kasi naka lagay sa website.

@goku_son yung sinasabi nyo po na:
("5 points for applicants with a spouse or de facto partner who has competent English" kasi naka lagay sa website.) yan po ay New Points na sabi nga ni Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 ay sa Nov. 16 pa mag-e-effect,
tapos kung nasa skilled occu din si partner (na we can assume na ang English nya ay competent dahil mostly pre-required namnan sa khit saang skill assessment) sa Nov 16 din yan po ay 10 points na.

@section3kid it won’t be updated automatically because you need to declare that. Otherwise the system won’t have a way of finding out if your partner has competent English

Need advice din po pala para sa case namin. Me and my de facto partner are currently on Temporary Graduate visa, Subclass 485 which will be expiring soon on Feb 2020. Since Feb 2019 take ako ng take ng PTE exam. Naka 8 times na ako ng take, pero until now kulang pa din score ko po. Yun partner ko nag study ng Certificate III in Aged Care and nag work as AIN. Alam ko po yun current situation ngayon na matagal ang invitation lalo na 65 points lang meron ako sa ngayon for 189. Pero nag submit pa rin ako ng EOI.
Since aabutan kami this coming Feb ng expiry. Ano po maganda advice niyo?
If pag aaralin ko si partner ng kahit anong course para lang maging student visa while waiting for invitation and mapasa ko ang PTE (Superior), as well as take na rin ng NAATI? Or mag regional na kami kasi hopeless na talaga? Need ko na po ba maghanap ng agent for this case? Hindi ko po kasi alam if mag wwork yun pag aralin si partner ng Diploma and kung maka apekto sa invitation. Ako po yun nag study ng Bachelor in Nursing dito. May mga friends din ako nag suggest na mag Masters na ako pero mahal po kasi. Salamat po sa sasagot!

@goku_son Are you RN already? Currently working? Sabi mo kasi "nag-study" so I presume tapos ka na at RN na? Have you considered the Employer Nomination pathway? I understand that depende rin sa employer ang pathway na to kasi you will probably be in 482 muna.
Going regional will definitely add to your points but then depende rin sa nursing specialization mo.
I would suggest getting the services of @RheaMARN1171933 so you can thresh out the intricacies of the process against your credentials.

@goku_son can’t fully picture the entire situation but just commenting about your choice of visa - 189. You should have been focusing on 190 or regional from day 1. 189 seems to be gold for the last year or two. We don’t prioritise this Visa option anymore for our clients for some time.

Hi. Thanks po sa mga nag reply. Yes RN na ako dito. I got my registration in April 2018. Currently working as RN sa 2 aged care facility po. Ako po yun main applicant ng Temporary Graduate visa. Bale, ang question ko po, pwede po ba si partner na Cert III in Aged Care ang natapos dito mag student visa, apply ng Leadership & Mngt siguro then siya naman ang main applicant while waiting kami sa invitation? Kakapusin po kasi kami ng oras sa visa. Hindi po ba makaka apekto sa process na babalik kami sa 20 hrs? @RheaMARN1171933 @cucci
