@sarahgon You can't apply for any skilled immigrant visa unless you're invited by DHA (189) or nominated by a state (190, 491).
You might be able to nominate either Advertising Specialist or Marketing Specialist. Both are only eligible for state sponsored visas, so either 190 or 491. The occupation you will decide to nominate is very important because it will determine which states you can apply for sponsorship. Given your years of experience and the fact that Vetassess deducts at least 1 year of work experience, I think you'll get the same points for work experience regardless of whichever of the 2 occupations you decide on. Although if you continue on your current job and nominate the related occupation, you will eventually get additional points once you reach 5 years of recognized work experience.
I was able to get a 489 visa sponsored by SA. 489 is no longer offered and has been replaced by 491. Don't limit yourself to a 190 visa. Just apply for whichever ones you're eligible for. It's hard enough to get invited as it is.

Question again, dami ko concern.
I didnt know na kailangan pala ng proof of income from the previous companies na pinasukan mo. I just called company A where i was hired from November 2012 to February 2014, they told me they cant provide me with payslips and ITR since 5yrs lang ang safe keeping nila. Is there any way na matrieve ko po ang ITR ko? Tho I already secured my SSS and Philhealth nandun makikita naman po yung contribution from the company.
Thank you

Do you think SSS will suffice to support my employment kay company A?

Thanks again @maguero , this is very insightful! One last question though. It says on the immi site that the passing mark is 65. Is it true these days that the only ones getting invited are the ones who reached 90 points?

Hello, newbie po ako ito. Gusto ko lang pong humingi ng insights, what do you think po. Ma-approve po kaya for Visa 189 given the status below:
Age: 26yo
Work Experience: 6 years
Degree: Bachelors Degree (Education course with Mechanical and Production Engineering major)
With Family Sponsor
Hindi pa po kami nakakapag aral or nakakapunta sa ibang bansa, bale first time po ito to try.
Maraming salamat po, any insights din po kung paano namin mapapataas ang aming points. Sa mga sinearch ko po kasi although 65pts ay accepted na but not guaranteed to have invitation

@sarahgon 65 points is the minimum to submit an EOI but applicants are prioritized based on certain factors and points is one of those factors. So the higher the points, the better the chances.
For state sponsorship, the states also have their own requirements. When I applied for SA sponsorship in July 2018, SA's requirement for Marketing Specialist was minimum 85 points.
It's best to have all your documents ready so when the states start accepting sponsorship applications, you can submit right away. During my time, SA accepted applications for Marketing Specialist for half a day only. If I hadn't submitted right away I wouldn't be here now because my points went down the following year.

Thank you guys in advance, I decided to proceed my ACS assessment, my requirements are almost ready except for the employment reference. Unfortunately my previous and current job can't produce the standard template (with tasks) like the ACS requirements so I google and did my research and come up with Statutory Declaration option but needs an authorized witness.
One option I think is in the Australian Embassy. Please advise if my sequence is correct.
1st: My manager should make his own redacted employment reference and fill up the statutory declaration form.
2nd: Go to the embassy and find a witness
3rd: Sign the papers with the witness
In the above plan, I have a problem. There's still COVID scare here in PH and probably it's hard to convince my managers (previous and current) to join me in the Embassy since they are a bit old. So is there any other way? Can I get the signature first then go to the embassy? or do you know any other authorized witness that can help me.
Regards,
Niiiiman

Hello Ms. Rhea, been noticing you're always helping. Thank you, really appreciate it.
I still have question, is the redacted employment reference with the notarized here in PH is enough?

Ito ata nakita kong post sa isang forum. Best to do is, email the state na nag invite sa kanya. Sana payagan noh? Hahah ang saya niyan kasi buzzer beater yung assessment niya kung magkataon. Hehe

Hello po. Ano po and tamang sagot sa question na ito?
"Has the applicant been employed overseas in their nominated occupation or a closely related
occupation at a skilled level, immediately before invitation to lodge this application?"
Employement history ko po ay may experience po ako for my nominated occupation sa pinas but less than 1 year siya so hindi ako nagclaim ng points. I also have 1 year experience in australia and related siya sa occupation ko so nagclaim po ako ng points (5points). Mejo confused po ako dun sa immidiately before invitation na part.
Thank you po sa makakasagot. Godbless

Hiii,
I am planning to apply for PCC as early as now kaso sabi 3 months lang daw ang validity. Galing po kasi akong UAE before. Okay lang po ba kumuha na agad kahit mag-lodge pa lang ng visa hopefully by the end of this month?

Hi Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 and everyone, may clarification lang po. I'm currently on my residency status (thesis) sa Masters Degree ko sa open university. Hindi ko dineclare yung Masters sa AIM skills assessment ko because hindi ko pa siya completed. Dun ba sa EOI kelangan kong ideclare na currently enrolled pa ako sa Masters, or completed Bachelors Degree will suffice?
Salamat sa sasagot.

Hi po question lang, mageexpire na kasi ang passport ko sa May2021 and naglodge po ako ng 189. Waiting for Grant pa. Problem ko is natatakot ako lumabas at maexpose due to covid at ang tagal tagal pa naman ng pagkuha ng passport. Ano po ang maiiadvice nyo? Kumuha na or hayaan muna? Thanks po

Mag renew ka na lang po muna para nakaline up na na kukunin baka matagal ang release. Tsaka p naman maging invalid/butasan ang passport mo pag meron na bago.
✨wala ka naman choice kundi mag renew kasi need at least 6mos validity of passport before ka mag travel.
✨pag meron ka na grant, mas madali mag update ng details ng new passport sa immi account lang yan, at magbago na ang details sa VEVO within 24 hrs.

May update passport details sa Immiaccount. You just need to fill up something there then upload the new passport. Ganyan ginwa ko sa anak ko. Automatic mag aupdate siya.

Hi again,
For the elodgement part po, we visited oz last year, so ‘yes’ po ako sa part na previously traveled and previously applied for a visa to oz. Yung australian visa grant number po ba applicable din sa tourist visa?
