Hello po, may pwde po mag-verify kung alin dito ang points for bachelor's degree sa Philippines (non-accredited in any int'l accord, e.g. Washington) tapos assessed positively by assessing authority?

I'm seeing 15 points ang mga kini-claim ng mga tao dito, pero baka lng sa Australian university sila gumraduate. Can someone confirm, please?

If the assessment says is equal to an AQF Standard as Bachelors ,15 points po yan.

Nag inquire po ako sa isang migration lawyer about 189 & 190 visa. Meron po sya nakalagay sa email nya.. ito po “When submitting your 190 EOI nominate one State only. If you leave it open to all States you will not be invited.” Plan ko po kasi magsubmit sa NSW, best po ba na NSW lang po pasahan or pwede pong isabay ang SA & VIC? Thanks po sa sasagot.☺️

Tama yun 15 points, as long as positive yun assessment.

It will be the second one - from another educational institution. Nothing to do with skills assessing authority. Thus us where CEP comes into place.

Hope that helps

Pwede ka pa din mag submit for SA and VIC via separate EOIs.

Hello. Need your opinion about our case po. I have a migrating spouse who is 47yo with proficient english test. Is there still a chance that we can be invited under skilled visa? Im 35 and with valid acs assessment (business analyst) and proficient english too. Any insight if we should expect pa ba or wag nalang masyadong umasa? Nabasa ko kasi sa website ng mga migration agents na 45 lang age limit for skilled visa. Any other path you can suggest? Thank you.

Hi po, may company po ako napasukan for two years pero nagsara na siya ngayon. Ang nakuha ko lang na document sa kanila ay COE at payslip. naghulog naman sila ng SSS at pag-ibig contributions ko. May idea po kayo kung paano ko macrecredit ung two years exp ko doon. Telecom engineer po ako. 30 years old.

Mag statutory declaration po kayo and attach your employment contract, old COE, payslips, ITR at bank statement.

meron po ba kayo sample ng statutory declaration? balak ko din po kc yan gawin with my other employers na ayaw magbigay ng COE/JOB Description and ung sa MBA ko po na ayaw din mag bigay ng course description po.

AFAIK, yung age limit applies to the primary applicant. So if ikaw mag submit, alam ko pwede pa.

Thanks sa pagreply @whimpee. I appreciate it. Gusto kasi namin magfocus sa isang path nalang na realistic para sa case namin. Malapit na din mag expire yung acs ko at nag iisip ako kung ipaparenew ko pa ba. Baka kasi masayang in the end kung hindi mabibigyan ng chance because of age.

Age limit for main applicants apply…partners cannot contribute 10 points if over 45.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I've completed my EOI applications last Dec.2023, I'm doing DIY application for now. May question lang ako kung sino may same scenario kasi Civil Engr. ang nominated occupation ko pero Quantity Surveyor (QS) talaga ang experience ko for the last 10 yrs dito sa Singapore. I claimed 15 points dun sa EOI since kahit di Civil Engineer ang title ko eh same unit group naman sila ng QS under 2332.

Sino po sainyo may same experience na nag claimed ng working experience points sa same unit group at di sa nominated occupation nyo? ok lang po ba yun? Thanks in advance.

Thank you @RheaMARN1171933 for your response. Drafted 190 nsw eoi today and i got plus 5 points because partner has proficient english (to be used for SV sana). Hindi po ba yun counted? When i selected partner's bday, checkbox for skills assessment was removed automatically. In our case, is it ok to pursue skilled visa or consider student? Thank you.

Hello po. I could use some help po. Planning to apply for 189/190/491. I have 6 years of experience as a part-time University Lecturer under the Engg department. I am claiming points here with experience 5-8 years which is 10 points. Question ko po is, credited ba yung experience ko na eto kahit na part-time job sya? I dont have any other job than this during my stint. Also counted ba sya as experience kahit na hindi sya yung usual occupation ng isang Engineer? Thank you po.

Needs to be at least 20 hours per week to claim points. Also you have to find a suitable occupation for that. Not sure if being a lecturer qualifies you to nominate Civil Engineer, or any Engineering occupation for that matter, as your occupation.

Hello po
May naka experience na po ba na yung bank mismo yung magbabayad for my visa application? Yung kukunin nalang po yung bank account ng pagbabayaran sa visa then Bank of commerce nalang yung magtratransfer from my acc to immigration?
Pumunta po kasi ako sa Bank of Commerce and hindi daw nila mataasan yung purchasing limit ko. Kung gagawa ako ng bagong account sa ibang bank is baka matagal pa before maactivate.

rmbalingit

Add ko din, kung pwde po ba ang UNIONBANK DEBIT CARD? or may nakatry na po ba dito hindi credit card ang ginamit to pay the VISA? Thank you

Should be okay as long as VISA or MASTERCARD. Dapat lang kaya ng limit, if there's any, yung transaction. In that case, coordinate with the bank.

Follow-up lang po. do I need to be assessed by Engineers Australia or sa Vetassess po? Also once assessed does it mean that this is also the occupation na ipapractice ko given ma grant ako ng visa? Thank you po.

Yung screenshot sa website ng pagibig at sss okay na po ba na additional proof of employment? Wala na kasi talaga akong maipoprovide na payslips. ITR at employer testimonial na lang po ang kaya ko iprovide, plus yung screenshot nga kung allowed.

For university lecturer, VETASSESS.

Once granted ka na for 189/190, you can work sa kahit anong job na gusto mo don. It will help to use your previous experience pero not required. You can change careers and all that.

Thank you po ulit. Clarify ko lang din po nabasa ko sa VETASSESS. May nakalagay kasi sa VETASSESS about sa FAQ nila:

What if my employment is outside of last five years and I have no additional information to add for the renewal process?

Employment that is outside of the last five years cannot be accepted and will not meet the skills assessment requirements.

Ibig sabihin po ba nito, employment that does not fall within the last five years are deemed to be irrelevant sa assessment? Eh how about po sa points na ikeclaim kapag may experience na 5 to 8 years under visa 189/190/49. Ibig sabihin po maximum na makeclaim ng mga VETASSESS assessed people will only be 5 years of experience? since ang icocount lang nila is your experience within the last 5 years?

Another question, tama ba na hindi nirerequire ni VETASSESS na may English test result during the skills assessment?

Thank you po.

What I understand from this is that to be qualified for assessment as lecturer, dapat naging occupation mo ito in the recent 5 years. If so, then possible pa din ma assess ng 10 years if you present the requirements. If let's say, yung last time na naging lecturer ka was 6 years ago, hindi ka qualified to nominate that occupation.
