Important Information: How do I start my application?

RyanJay

@ShayShey, oo madali lang naman overpayment, buti may nakausap kayo na mas may alam. Hehe. Good bless your application!

IslanderndCity

@ShayShey yes, no need for a request letter if you'll just put more cash (overpay) into your credit card account

ShayShey

Hello guys, nagfifill up ako ng information sa immiaccount to lodge visa 189.

Patulong naman po sa mga items na to:

1. 3/17 - National Identity Documents -> passport is considered as National Identity Document right? Wala kasi akong driver's license then ung SSS ID ko still indicates my maiden name.

2. 8/17 Usual country of residence -> I'm working here in Indonesia for 2.5 yrs already pero ung family ko that i will include in application are in Phil. Ano po ang ilagay ko na usual country of residence? Phil or Indo?

3. 15/17 Previous country of residence -> I worked in China before for 6 months, do i need to indicate it in this page? My next problem is, it was 8 years ago... i can't even remember the address. Di rin naman po siguro ako hihingan ng character requirements since this is less than 12 months.. tama po ba?

Thanks in advance!

1- yes passport is a national ID.. pero i think may separate section ang passport.. kung wala kayong ibang ID.. its okay to leave this blank.. or put N/A..

2 - usual country of residence mo is where you live now.. sa section ng family members mo, dun mo ilagay kung iba ang current address nila..

3 - if its just temporary work/training/business travel - sa short travel sections mo na lang ilagay...
pero kung lumipat ka talga ng china for work.. kailangan mo pa ring i-declare.. write whatever you can remember..

although yun nga, hindi ka nmn hingian ng PCC china kasi less than 12 months..

ShayShey

@lock_code2004 , thanks sa reply...

nagwork ako sa china for 6 months pero after ko magvacationsa pinas di na ko bumalik dun kasi na hire na rin ako ulit sa pinas...

i didn't include my work exp in china kasi wala din ako cert of employment... di kaya ako magkaproblema later on kasi nag awol ako? hehe

lock_code2004

@ShayShey - ok lng na hndi mo na sya include sa visa application..

Pero you should include that in your form 80

ShayShey

@lock_code2004 , acknowledge sir! I will do that... salamat sa tulong...

ShayShey

guys, may bago nanaman akong problema... ( (

ngaun ko lang narealize na mali pala ung na input ko na date of expiry ng passport ng anak ko... instead of Jan. 2017 nailagay ko Jan. 2016..

pwede ba kami mag proceed sa medical e magrereflect sa referral letter un?
pano ko po marerevise ung wrong info?

Last time parang may nabasa ako na wrong spelling ung name... di ko na po kasi mahanap.. thanks!

piglet24

Finally lodged our visa 189. Tanong ko lang is it okay to have our medicals na? For medicals, may required hospitals ba? Or anywhere would do. Thanks.

tartakobsky

@piglet24 Pwede na po proceed medical. Nasa skillselect website po list ng panel clinic kung saan kayu malapit.

@ShayShey Sorry, not so sure about this one. All i can think of is yung form 929 (change of passport details) or maybe try to communicate with the case officer.

ShayShey

Hi @Xiaomau82 , thanks for the info!!

I also find form 1023 Notification of incorrect answer...

Advise ko na lang cguro ung CO pag meron na noh? passport expiry lang naman un..

pwede kaya kami pa medical na mali ung expiry date ng passport? nagrereflect kasi sa referral letter un e... :-S

piglet24

@tartakobsky: okies! Will check! Thanks!

ShayShey

@Xiaomau82 , di ko sure if form 929 0 1023...

Xiaomau82

@ShayShey para sure check mo with the case officer. Try ko rin magcheck for you. Pag may definite answer na ko balitaan kita.

ShayShey

@Xiaomau82 thanks a lot! I decided not to do anything about it at the moment.. hintay na lang cguro ako ng CO then inform ko na lang sya bout my mistake... sana di magalit.. hehe

if you are going to apply for work (employer sponsored visa), mas may chance ang care giver kung may work exp kana..

pero if you are going to apply on your own (for a skilled visa), you wont be able to apply (at this time), because care giver is not in the list of in demand occupation..

for some, they go to australia to study (like aged care or enrolled nursing).. and then look for employers who want/can sponsor them.. but going on a student visa is very expensive...

Hello, I hope someone can enlighten me kasi my initial plan is to study in AU kaso due to conflict in providing proof of funds, I am having second thoughts... Currently 5 years na ako sa work ko as Supervisor more on the administrative side and work ko... Pwede kaya ako mag pa assess ng skills ko and if ever positive ang result ano naman next na gagawin...? TIA!

@aa777 - read page 1 of this thread.

Help please. I tried to go thru the whole thread to see a similar case, medyo malayo na ko wala pa ko naencounter so if my question had been asked before im sorry and thanks in advance for the reply.

Planning to get 190/489 visa in WA. Gets ko na process ng application kaso nacoconfuse ako sa assessment. Im going to nominate hr advisor (csol&wasmol) I have more than 5 yrs exp on this. But my qualification is computer science from dlsu. So if I do my assessment from vetassess for the hr advisor, will my qualification not be counted sa eoi or sa assessment din?

Nalilito talaga ako. I would appreciate all your help and advise. Thanks.

lock_code2004

@j0wnaGurl - your assessment result will tell you that..you submit all you documents (coe, jd, tor, diploma), and they will tell you:

a) if you skills/work exp are aligned to the nominated occupation
b) if your educational qualification can be claimed as equivalent to an AU bachelor degree or AU diploma level..

so i suggest, you read application details/requirements from vetassess' website..

j0wnaGurl

Thanks @lock_code2004.

If I understand it correctly if I decide to go for my qualification (will look for an occupation in sol/csol) to be assessed then my experience will not be counted.

Are they particular if you have any past experience from your nominated skill? What if I dont need the points for the experience do you thinks it's a good idea to go for an occupation in sol related to my qualification rather than my experience. And have that one assessed instead?

Im having second thoughts sa hr advisor because it is always in schedule 2. The addtl reqt is very difficult to meet.

I want to make sure which is better na maipaassess because it is time consuming and expensive.

As what you've told me before, I will wait for july 1 baka may changes but I would like to explore my options now para makapag start agad.

Sorry ang kulit ko thanks ulit.

lock_code2004

@j0wnaGurl your case is tricky... because your current work exp is not related to your degree...

but i would say, pag vetassess may consideration naman sila..

normally kasi, skills assessment is for your skills/work exp 5 years before your application/assessment date.. so mas importante to pursue your assessment based on your most recent skills..

also, sa vetassess, may minimum requirements of years of work experience depende sa occupation, depende kung related ang degree sa occupation...etc..etc..
so you need to understand those things..

if you have other work experience ( but not related to your nominated occupation - hr advisor), you dont need to include that in your assessment..

if you have work exp na related sa degree mo, but 5 years ago pa, and you want to nominate this occupation, hindi ka rin pwde i-assess, because they will only provide assessment of skills based on the latest 5 yrs before application date..

if you dont need points for the work exp, pwde din naman.. as long as you have total points of 60 for the EOI..

j0wnaGurl

Tricky is the right word @lock_code2004.

In my case, either qualification or experience ang hahabulin ko. If ever ba I would like to try for both ang ififile ko sa vetassess would be yung full skills assessment with points test advice? 1 employment lang naman ipapasa ko so that's it di ba? No need for the add ons?

Also has anybody here tried nominating a skill in sched 2? Do you have an idea what happened with their application?
