May 2019 Visa 189/190/489

auyeah · May 2019

Thank you @donyx & @Butterfly8i8

waiting game na din

@lecia yes po NSW, mag lodge na kami today.

Kagabi lang kami nag apply for nomination in NSW, this morning we got an invite na agad. God works wonders talaga! All praises to Him. Thank you for the continuous prayers and encouragement sis!

@Devi@nt19 Yes sir we lodged an EOI for 189 last March kaso we were not included in the April and May invitation rounds since pa-end na ang fiscal year, they only sent 100 invites per month.

Hanggang March 12, 2019 na EOI lodged date pa lang ang invited for 189 for 2613 with 80pts and above. Unfortunately, we lodged 10 days later, March 22.

) Mukhang sa next fiscal year (July 2019) pa uli babalik sa normal (1000+) yung number of invites.
Wala pong show money for NSW. Indeed, this is a blessing for us and we will take this chance na po

ms_ane · May 2019

auyeah · May 2019

@ms_ane Thank you po! All the glory to God

How did you pay pala sa for your visa? Naisip namin credit card, kaso may limit pala yun..

happymomi · May 2019

Congrats @auyeah

auyeah · May 2019

Thank you po @happymomi

ms_ane · May 2019

@auyeah sis credit card lang din

tatlo kami nasa 7k+ inabot. you can actually request for your card na increase ang limit if needed. congrats ulit. yey!!!

Devi@nt19 · May 2019

@auyeah thats great news! buti wala rin show money sa NSW.

tama si @ms_ane, request ka for increase ng limit, though sa cc ko hindi na-approve kaya ginawa ko is nag-overpay na lang ako sa credit card para ma-augment yung kulang sa credit limit ko. Hope it helps.

auyeah · May 2019

@ms_ane @Devi@nt19 Thank you for the tips! really appreciate it

cacophony · May 2019

@auyeah So happy for you. It's God's grace. Try request for increase credit limit. I'm currently applying mine at BDO to increase it to 150k to cover the cost of visa. Pero as far as I know, two installments ang payment. Tama po ba?

auyeah · May 2019

@cacophony Thank you po.

Hindi ko napansin if possible na 2 installments. We paid using Citibank credit card. We tried BDO and BPI kaso nagffail, pero baka sa amin lang. Mag lodge ka na din?

donyx · May 2019

@auyeah ang naging diskarte ko naman since kulang yung limit ng credit card ko, pinabayad ko using cc ni mother ko tapos balance transfer, 24 months to pay. that way hindi masyadong mabigat yung isang bagsak na bayad

>-

auyeah · May 2019

@donyx aww pwede pala yun. Thank you sir

sayang nakapagbayad na kami. Pikit mata nalang X_X parang wedding expenses lang! haha!

czianczia28 · May 2019

@donyx zero interest po iyon?

donyx · May 2019

@czianczia28 interest rate @ 0.69% per month

czianczia28 · May 2019

@donyx not bad po hindi mabigat sa bulsa.

donyx · May 2019

@czianczia28 agree. saka sayang, kasi cash on hand yun na pwede pa magamit sa ibang investment/expenses...d pa magagalaw yung buffer funds for urgent needs (aka pocket money sa BM). hehehe

ms_ane · May 2019

ang batang bonakid @auyeah nakapaglodge na agad agad hahaha! iba ka talagang tunay sis! Godbless you sa iyong journey.

samin din di namin nai 24 months installment. pikit mata bayad nalang agad bawi nalang sa rewards na wala din naman kwenta ahahaha!

auyeah · May 2019

@ms_ane Thank you sis! Nakakahawa ang energy ng mga breakthroughs dito sa forum kaya nainspire kami mag prepare agad

check ko nga ang citi rewards baka makakuha ako ng bagong electric fan! Ang init sobra dito sa Pinas eh! Hahaha

) Pero sana maconvert ko for travel. :bz

ms_ane · May 2019

@auyeah ahahaha oo sis may options din yan to convert sa miles. natutuwa ako at naikasa mo na iyan agad agad - kailangan talaga mabilis ang kilos ngayon with all the changes (seen and unforeseen) - malaking bagay na you are now 1 step closer sa finish line >:D<

kaya ang assignment naten ngayon e patuloy na tulungan ang mga kapatid natin (whichever stage they are now) - para sila din e maka graduate na

auyeah · May 2019

@ms_ane oo sis ang daming changes kaya ikinasa na namin. Supporting you on this, bayanihan to down under :-bd

mister.hyde · May 2019

Hi, Everyone. Not sure if this the right place but I’d like to ask for some advice. So, I got my ACS result today. And not what I expected, out of the 10yrs plus exp. nakuha ko over 4yrs lang. After rechecking my points, it fell to 189/55, 190/60, 489/65. If I retake my PTE and swertehin maka-superior I can raise each by 10pts. Pero I feel di pa din enough for 189&190, to make things worse, in Aug I’ll be 40. Do you think I should pursue with 489, may I.T jobs po ba sa regional areas? I hope someone can give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!

auyeah · May 2019

@mister.hyde It will be a great advantage if you can increase your points, like what you've mentioned na i-Superior ang PTE exam. Yung ibang state rin po kasi, aside from the overall points, they also prioritize applicants with Superior English. I cannot see your points breakdown, pero if possible, you may also consider claiming additional points for Partner Skills (English exam & Skills assessment required for Partner) or NAATI Certification (Translation/Interpretation test in Australia).

To answer your question po concerning visa 489, personally, I think taking this path will give you a better chance of getting invited since ito rin po ang meron kayong pinaka mataas na points. You can check the Australian job sites (ex https://www.seek.com.au/) and filter the search results based on the regional areas you prefer so you can see the opportunities are available for you. For PR visa (189 & 190) options po, previously 75pts and above gets invited. Recently 80pts and above na. I am not certain yet kung ano na pong magiging trend in the coming financial year (July 2019), pero hoping na tumaas na uli ang invitations. God bless on your application

mister.hyde · May 2019

@auyeah thank you so much for the reply! I never thought of looking at the job market in the regional areas. And yes, am still planning on retaking the PTE, for higher points. As for NAATI? Am not familiar with that. Again, thank you!

czianczia28 · May 2019

Hello po, saan po kaya namin pwede I translate ito? Nag request kasi ako ng course description, Filipino Subjects are described in Filipino/Tagalog.

edge · May 2019

@czianczia28 i believe ok lang yan na as it is sya.... base sa exp ko nung nagpaassess ako sa cpaa tagalog dn ang course description nya dun sa syllabus ko at naging ok naman. correct me if im wrong sa mga nagrequest dn at gumamit ng syllabus.

czianczia28 · May 2019

@edge salamat po. Regarding payslip, okay lang kaya na SSS, Phil Health, PAG-IBIG andTax contributions ang ipalit? I think mahihirapan ako makakuha ng payslip kasi wife ng boss ko ang gagawa. Haha

auyeah · May 2019

@mister.hyde This might be useful to you in case you plan on taking the NAATI certification.

auyeah · May 2019

@czianczia28 it’s better po if you can secure copies of your payslips since ito yung official document from your company na pinapasweldo ka nila. It’s a strong evidence of your employment, together with the reference letter. Yung iba na walang payslip, bank statement ang ibinibigay. Pero I highly recommend po to provide as much evidence as you can to avoid delays and make it easier for the CO to approve your application. All the best
