@jakibantiles I suggest for you to get a car kahit second hand na. mahirap kung motor tapos long drive. tapos kasama mo pa partner mo so mas ok kung car. saka kahit sa shops or groceries mas madali kung car gamit mo. AU is unlike SG na walking distance lang ang mga fairprice or sheng siong.

I only have PRC, ME din po and applying for TSS 482 MS, as per my agent, no need ang skills assessment for TSS 482? You only need skills assessment for PR visa? Thanks

Mechanical Engineer is not on this list (Mandatory skills assessment)
Papano po yun if hiningan ka ng skills assessment if hindi naman mandatory?

Sorry po. Clarify ko lang. Employment endorsement pala at PRC license hiningi sa akin. Naconfuse ako kasi yung employment endorsement ko, nakaaddress sa EA, yun din kasi yung ginamit ko sa assessment noon. Sinubmit ko na lang din yung outcome letter from EA which I happened to have bago pa ako masponsoran, initiative ko lang to prove yung years of relevant exp ko. Pero sa list po ng requirements na hiningi ng agent hindi siya kasama.

Meron po ba dito may alam ng process ng pagrenew ng visa 482 sa medium stream? My employer is suggesting to nominate for 2 years daw muna then renew na lang after. Gano po ba kadali magrenew? Baka kasi magstart ulit sa nomination, etc and panibagong process na naman. Or is it just one click sa immi account? Thank you!

@meggie , AFAIK, 2 years is for short-term stream and 4 years is for medium stream. Haven't seen anyone posted for renewal of 482 but let's see.

Hi everyone, my husband got his 482 visa early this year but we were still dating at that time that I wasn't included on his application. Fast forward until we got married last week and currently applying for 482 subsequent entrant. We are waiting for the official marriage certificate from Victoria BDM and our concern is regarding his employer. We are aware that we need a letter of support that states that his employer is extending the nomination to me. How can we ask this from his employer? I'm not sure if they are aware of this kind of cases but his manager seems to be hesitant in providing the letter. Should we ask directly to their HR or any immigration lawyer who can help us with this?
Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Ms @cucci pasensya hindi ko po alam kung kanino pwede directly mag tanong.
Dun sa requirement na "have at least 2 years relevant work experience in your nominated occupation or a related field" pwede po ba i-account ang Assistant in Nursing na work for 2 years kahit na casual sa isang agency? RN po ako ngayon sa aged care and may willing mag sponsor sakin na facility kaso kulang pa po sa 3,952 hours ang work ko. TIA!

For PR via 186 po ba? Hindi man necessary na sa Au na-gain ang experience... counted yung nursing experience mo outside Au.

Hi Ms Cucci, thanks for the response po. Working as RN Aged Care na ako ngayon kaso 3,288hrs palang meron as per statement of service. Ang sabi ng mga kakilala ko dapat maka 3,940hrs ako bago ako maka-apply ng Sponsored Visa 482. Ang sabi naman po sa immi website "have at least 2 years relevant work experience in your nominated occupation or a related field." I was thinking kung pwede ko include yun AIN work experience ko na 2 years kaso nga lang Casual agency yun. Alam niyo po ba kung pwede yun isama? May mga nagsabi sakin na dapat daw hired as part-time talaga para ma consider kasi.

Sorry, I have no idea kung pwede ang AIN experience... nakapag-work ka ba as nurse outside Australia? Counted naman yun as years of experience for visa purposes once you gain registration with AHPRA.

Talk and explain to your employer the circumstances and emphasize that there is no additional cost for them except the letter explaining the reason for addition of subsequent entrants.

Sorry I am not familiar with RSMS 187... but cursory reading of the basic eligibility requirements does not indicate any occupation list whether STOL or MLTSOL...
As I understand it, as long as you are coming from either 482 or 457, working in regional Australia, has served 3 years with your employer and your employer is willing to sponsor you, you can apply for the RSMS 187.

@tcha Since you are in SA already, once SA starts accepting applicants for state sponsorship maybe you can check if your occupation is in their list & what the requirements are for 190/491 state sponsorship. If you can meet the requirements, I suggest you just go for that since that's a sure way to PR & you don't have to stay with your current employer for 3 years before you can secure your PR pathway.
Note though that the slots for some occupations fill-up quickly, they're gone within a few hours after SA starts accepting applications. So it's best to have all requirements on hand so you can apply right away.

@maguero I still have to get a hold of a positive skills assessment. If God’s willing, once I get a positive result, I will opt for 491/190 visa. Apparently, my case is not that straight forward. Though I have over 10yrs work experience on my nominated occupation, seems like my Diploma is not considered a Diploma if I’ll based it on AQF. That is my worry. So I was looking for another pathway if ever...🤞🏻

@tcha Mahirap nga kung walang positive skills assessment since your options will become limited. Hopefully you'll find a way to get this. Good luck!
