"Stay in that state or territory that nominated you for at least two years"
Question ko po, should the 190 visa holder stay in his/her sponsoring state on his/her first 2 years in OZ or can he/she fulfill that obligation anytime?

If you are nominated by the NSW Government under the Skilled Nominated subclass 190 visa you are obliged to commit to live and work or study in NSW for the first two years of your time in Australia.
i'm just not sure about the other states though.

Also im an nz p.r. Not citizen though. Anyone in the same boat as me? Like if sponsored by the employer..,my employer is a public hospital din.
It not a big deal for me to retake ielts but very redundant na kasi.. Considering i have been living and working in an english speaking country 5 yrs na this year.
Im on 457 visa.. I was not asked for ielts to get this one cause like i said my ielts was 2006 pa.
Kasi sa anmac which is our assessment body for nurses.. Di na ako required mag ielts. Whatever result ng anmac pwdi ko i submit to diac for p.r. Application. Pero like i said i dont understand if i still need to retake the ielts just because nasa requirement as a general rule. Wala bang exception or a modified assessment?
Thanks for the input;)

in your case, dahil employed na po kayo dyan, you will be under the employer nomination scheme (ENS).. visa 186 or visa 187 (for regional).. at dito posibleng hindi nyo na kailangan ng ielts..
check this link and then click yung link about "exemptions" on age/skills assessment/english..
http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/visas/subclass-186/
meron din pong thread dito about this type of visa..
http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/1091/186-ens-visa-timeline/p1
although ENS visa timeline yung thread, na discuss din ng konti ang pros/cons ng ENS versus GSM visa 189/190

But i see what u mean kasi ung 457 visa ko was sponsored by the employer hence nasa exemption sya for ielts... http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/changes-eng-req.htm.
Will look into the 186 visa..wala pa kasi naka mention sa akin nyan. Most people i have asked sabi is 190 or 189 visa after the 457 kaya medyo i am a bit confused.

There is actually a way to navigate around the IELTS requirement!!! For 457 visa na tulad natin @li_i_ren, pwede through the Temporary residence transition Stream (ENS 186 scheme, if I'm not mistaken). But there is a caveat though:
"Exemptions for age,skills and english ability will be based on a person’s nominated occupation, salary or the length of time they have been employed with their nominating employer". - quoted verbatim from the website.
Madugong proceso eto, but if I we can get away with NOT taking the IELTS anymore, why not chocnut... )
21 Dec 2012 - 457 lodged
7 Jan 2013 - medical finalised
8 Jan 2013 - visa approved

Age, salary and length of experience more or less i think i will qualify naman. But will research more about the 186...most people i know kumuha kasi ng 189 or 190. I guess they still have valid ielts and not willing to wait for employer sponsorship.

pero kung sinabi nmn ng employer na ENS kayo, then try to explore 186..
tapos share your experience here..

Hi babybluelyn, good day po.
Maitanong ko sana kung ano yung nangyari sa kaibigan mong nag apply as university lecturer, nakapag successfuly migrate na ba sya under Visa subclass 190 sa Australia?
Mag aaply din kasi ako ng university lecturer, so baka pwede kami mag share ng notes about sa application nya, then kung my maipapayo sya sa akin...
Baka my natatandaan ka pa sa application details nya, sana ma eshare mo sa akin...
Salamat po ng marami.

we applied through agency, got the assessment from ACS and passed the IELTS also, my husband got 70 points overall (he's the primary). my problem is why the agency is applying for subclass 190 instead of 189? i asked her if we are not eligible for subclass 189, til now no answer from them. they're telling us to choose from 2 states so they can start the process...
what are the benefits of having 189? do you think will go for 190?
