Hi. Since close ang mga state ngayon for 190, paano na yung mga EOI na lodge 2019 pa? Does it mean kelangan magresubmit ng EOI once they opened for 190?

Wala naman po nagbabawal na mag apply ng toursit visa, yun nga lang nasa immigration officials na kung igrant.. kung naka apply ka ng TV at na grant, mag apply ka ng exemption as immidiate family, as defacto ka diba? Pero need mo iprove na immidiate family ka ni citizen. Ang mga proof is pareho ng partner visa na nasa booklet ng partner visa migration.

hi! question and need clarification please. Mostly or all state sponsored visa 190 kailangan is living ka na sa state, does that mean lahat ng off shore/Outside Australia ang pwede lang nila isubmit na visa is 189? Pano yung mga previous na submission mo ng 190 na di pa required living sa state tapos iuupdate mo yung score mo ano nang mangyayari?

Mejo nawalan ako ng pagasa makapagmigrate sa AU. Supposedly early this year ako magaapply pero dahil sa pandemic nagbago lahat ng plans ko. Nawalan din ako work kaya hindi ko muna tinuloy yung plan ko magtake ng IELTS or PTE. Anyway, awa ng Diyos nakahanap naman ako ng kahit part time job maliit kita pero pwede na din.
Next year, gusto ko na ituloy magtake ng exam. Napagipunan ko na. After nun, ano na ba next step? Hihintayin ko ba magopen si NSW ng list of occupations? I'm 30 years old, single and an interior designer dito sa PH. Can anyone give me advice or walk me through sa steps? Or baka meron ditong ID din na nagapply din

You won’t need English test yet for skills assessment, fyi

If you are keen on lodging your EOI as soon as possible, you could take the PTE soon. If you get your desired score on your first try, great. Otherwise, you'd have to retake it over and over until you do, which takes time (and hopefully you won't have to do that). Maybe take this time to really study and prepare for the PTE so you only need to take it once. Also, you'd have to consider that the English proficiency exam result can only be used if they were taken within 3 years prior to getting an invitation. At this point, no one really knows how long it will take to get an invitation after you lodge your EOI.

hi ms @RheaMARN1171933 good day! I would like to seek your opinion about lodging multiple EOI for different state. For example 1 EOI 491 for NSW, 1 EOI 491 for VIC and 1 EOI for 491 in SA? same goes for 190.
I understand that states are still closed but gusto ko lang po sana malaman if mayrong negative effect yung ganyang application? I watched a youtube video saying na kapag ganyan ginawa nyo is maququestion yung genuine intention to live and work on a state. Tama po ba yun? any advise po for future application? Thank you

Hi! Thanks for this. I’mbe always thought Rnglish test was part of the requirements for skills assessment. I’ll read up on it more to get more information about it
Joined: Dec 17, 2020
I reviewed for the test the whole year. Still reviewing and trying to improve on my skills but since it isn’t required for the skills assessment, I’ll set it aside for now. Do you think it’s wise to get the skills assessment for now?
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
That’s what most people think. It all depends on the occupation and the assessing authority. You’ll be via VETASSESS which won’t require it at all. You’re actually not being time efficient if you’re focusing on English. Skills assessment is the make or break so this needs to be done first as it’s also time consuming. Good luck

good day everyone and happy new year to all..
may concern lang sana ako sa Vetassess outcome ko. ang inassess nila sakin is 4.66years lang from sept 2013-aug 2019 kasi ang first year daw is considered as trainee. pero yun company na inassess nila is active ako don hanggang March 2020. ang skillcode(312211) ko lumabas na din kasi sa 491 NSW this coming february. question ko lang is iconsider kaya ng CO ang experience ko from aug 2019-march 2020? para umabot ng 5yrs para maka qualify ako sa requirements sa NSW? or EOI ba ang iconsider ng CO kasi full 6yrs ang na credit ng work experience ko sa EOI.na-layoff kasi ako don sa last company kaya hanggang march 2020 lang pero na gather ko lahat ng documents ko don including updated Job Description with end date na.
meron na ako new employer now since July pero di ko pa napaassess pero di rin ako nag claim ng points ng new employer ko sa EOI. so hanggang sa last company lang talaga ang pwede ko maclaim ng points which is upto March 2020 lang.
salamat in advance po sa makareply and maka bigay ng insights.
happy new year ulit sa lahat.

Happy New Year everyone! So as recommended and advised, gather muna ko ng documents for skills assessment. Question lang, yung current company ko doesn’t want to issue a detailed COE because ayun nga for migration purposes. Kinausap ko yung manager ko prior to requesting this and open and supportive naman siya but our HR isn’t accomodating of my request. Upon resignation daw ako bibigyan ng detailed COE.
Pwede kaya yung job contract ko ipass sa Vetassess? May nakalist dun na job responsibilities tas ibackup ko na lang ng latest payslips and ITR. Eto na lang sa current company yung kulang ko, sayang kasi 3 years na din ako sa company na to.

Hi Zhella,
I think it is better if you draft your own Statement of Service, then ask your Manager to sign it. That's what I did. Mas madali magpapirma kesa magpagawa ng statement tapos baka kulang kulang pa ng info.

So you still need your current work to be assessed? Because my overseas work was already assessed by ANMAC but my current work here in Australia was not. Though, same na RN but different ANZSCO code.
