Automatic na nag-uupdate 'yan. Kung hindi ka pa nakaka-receive ng message/email sa skillselect, ibig sabihin hindi pa talaga 8 years 'yung work experience mo based sa dates na dineclare mo. Baka lang may ilang days na difference, wait mo na lang Good luck!

Hi Everyone!
I am a Mechanical Engineer with 3yrs experience offshore. I am applying visa sc 190 - NSW with 85+5 points and doing it DIY. Since my sister is an Australian citizen in WA, I am considering the visa sc 491 (85+15) family sponsor stream para di na ako lalayo sa WA.
Tanong lang mga boss, regarding sa visa subclass 491, sana may makasagot hehe.
1. Need po ba may current employer si Relative (sister)? For now po kasi ay walang work sister ko kasi kakapanganak pa lang at nag aalaga ng anak niya kaya ang brother in law ko ang nag wowork kaso hindi ata pwede mag sponsor ang brother-in-law sa visa 491
2. Kung pwede mag sponsor si relative kahit walang current employer, need pa rin po ba mag submit ng demonstrate sufficient settlement funds si applicant (ako) ? Sa WA po kasi nag rerequire ng $20k minimum pag state nominee ganun din po kaya kahit sa family sponsor na?
3. May iba pa po bang requirement tulad ng proof of residency/bills/water ... etc. si sponsor? Meron bang checklist para malaman kung ano-ano mga ito or forms na ffill out'an?
Thank you very much. 😁

Hi mga ka pinoyau. Meron po ba kayo mairecommend na CDR reviewer for proofreading at editing po sana? Legit po kaya yung mga CDR reviewer websites na nasesearch sa google?
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
As an agent myself, I wouldn’t advice such. All our clients have done it themselves with us just double checking if the proper format were followed along with if questions were addressed. And we’ve not have any negative outcome so far. If one is able to gain an engineering degree, then he/she is capable of writing the CDR. You need to be mindful that it is expected that you’ve done the actual CDR yourself using your own words. If you hire a company to edit it for you, you’re already putting yourself in a compromising situation because you can’t claim you’ve done it yourself when EA is very particular about such thing.

Thank you sir for the advice. Question lang po, which one is better in your experience and opinion? Salamat po

Both has its merits
Vetasses will not require a CDR, only proof of claim in the form of documentation like payslips, contracts, JDs, payslips. However, they will subtract a year or two i think from your experience which can be a big impact depending on your work experience bracket.
EA will require a CDR on top of the documents you will submit but will take your full work experience into consideration.
Hope that helps boss
