@bpgamerslobby may nabasa ako dati na mas madali process ng papasok sa AU kung same brand ng ginagamit dito ang naging vaccine. pero syempre di pa final yun at pwede pang mabago given na maraming brands ang ginagamit globally.

Opo nalodge na namin nung Aug 5. Wala pa po kasi kami budget nung before July 1 at kulang kulang pa mga police clearance. Tatlong countries kasi nirequire. Awa ng Diyos may tax return! Hahaha di ko rin po masyadong ramdam yung price increase kasi AUD6,175 lang binayaran ko. Ang estimate ko dati ay 6.5k kaya okay na rin. Wala pa nga lang bukas na clinic para sa health assessment. Nandito po kasi kami sa Liverpool. Matindi cases ng delta variant dito. 🙏

Hello po newbie lang po, mag sstart palang po kasi ako ngayon mag apply. Nakita ko po na kasama sa PMSOL yung ICT Security Analyst. Sinearch ko po na pwede rin sya sa subclass 189 pero subclass 190 po yung nakuha ko sa free assessment. Mas ok po ba yun 190 o pwede ako mag request na 189? Kasi po parang ang hirap ng chances kapag subclass 190 yung pinili dahil by invite lang daw po yun.

PMSOL works for 482 visa subclass. Look into MTSOL and STSOL. It’s too early to decide between 189 and 190 visa. Your aim right now should be passing the skills assessment and accumulating as much points as possible.

Hello po. Inaassess po ba ng CO yung visa application kahit wala pang health assessment? O bubuksan lang nila yung application pag completed na? Sarado kasi mga Bupa clinics dito sa Sydney. Di sigurado kung kelan magbubukas kasi ang tindi ng delta. TIA!

Hello po, balak po namin ng fiance ko na kumuha ng visa. Pareho kaming IT. Ako software developer at siya at Business Analyst/Project Manager. Ako po ang primary application. Recommended po ba na magpa assess din sa ACS ung partner ko for the additional points? Worth it po ang time na macoconsume?

Aside po sa Covid-19 Vaccine, nirerequire po ba ni AU yung ibang vaccines such as:

Hi, bakit niyo po nasabi na it's too early to decide between the 189 and 190? Yan din po kasi yung plan kong iprocess.

Because things can change from now and by the time you lodge your EOI. Unfortunately, there’s really no luxury to choose which of the 3 visas to apply for…you’ll just have to grab what would work later on. I would always tell my clients to be open for all 3 options. We usually would lodge an Eoi for all visa options and grab whatever will work amongst those options. As long as you’re document ready, you can be strategic when you reach the Eoi stage.

Hi po, kapag naka abot na ng 65 points. Worth it paba ang cost and time para kunin ang points na makukuha sa partner katulad ng skill criteria nya?

Hey there, minimum lang ang 65 pero that doesn't mean na maiinvite ka. Been checking the invite trends since 2017 at never na sya bumaba ng 85-90 in the last 2 years. Kung ang score mo is aabot ng 90 kasama qualifications ng partner, then it's a consideration.

Generally yes but all depends on the occupation. Also, no one knows how things will turn out next year when they lift the restrictions. It’s tricky to use information from pre-pandemic days to base your strategy for next year when they start inviting offshore applicants once again. Best approach is to queue up on EOI ASAP and maximise points then strategise the best approach next year when procedures are more defined

Really? that's great! I've been out of the forum for more than a year so I apologize if most of what I know was 2019 info haha. And yeah sa occupation din it seems, with the more common ones like engineering, IT etc, they don't even invite em for 189/491 at the moment

I suggest po pag isipan niyo na kung gusto niyong ituloy. We dont know pag nagbukas ung Australia baka maraming pagbabago. Pwede ding wala ring magbago. Mahirap po I predict ngayun kasi covid. Pero kung desidido kayu, try niyo napong igather mga documents niyo. Pinakamatagal kong nakuha ung skills assessment ko. Dahil 2 times nagkamali ung agent ko sa occupation na ipapapassess. So that time (precovid) halos 6months bago ko nakuha ung totoong occupation ko. Imagine ngayum baka mas matagal ang pagpapa assess so better start gathering na. Who know, 3-4months from now mag open Australia. We will never know.
