95 points! ang taas na nun, so does it mean ang naiinvite 100ish? Anyways, naiintindihan ko where you're coming from, mga 3 months ata ako nag abang for my invite. Try mo muna to wait for couple of months... baka mainvite na ang 90 pointers.

@cutiepie25, hindi ako nag pa re-assess pero ang alam ko ACS allows it. Mapapagastos ka lang but anong dahilan ni agent bakit hindi pwede yung pathway na ganun? Minsan kasi overlapping ang job description at position ng mga ICT skills so baka may chance ka sa ibang occupation?
Marami akong naririnig na BA sila tapos nagkakaron din sila positive assessment as software tester. Devs to web devs. Tingin tingin ka rito sa forum baka may mga nagshare na before ng experience.
Also @frisch24 maybe you can give advise?

Ang sabi po ng agent ko, magnenegative results daw po ako since naassess na ako as developer programmer. Ask ko lang po, pwede ko bang hindi sundin yung agent ko at magDIY for this reassessment?

@cutiepie25 may web development related work ka ba before? and web developers kasi pang 190 lang... hindi po cya pang 189. And hindi rin lahat nag state, like Victoria, nagsosponsor ng Web Developers kaya onti lang nakakaalam kung may available sa role na yun per state. worth a shot kung may experience ka rin sa web development.
as i have said previously:
**okies lang multiple assessments sa ACS. Assessment for Developer Programmer will not cancel out kung magpa reassess ka for Web Developer. kasi ganito yung case ko, i have 2 assessments in ACS, one for Analyst Programmer and another for Web Developer.

@cutiepie25 if you created your own ACS account, then you can do it on your own. may friend kasi ako na yung agent gumawa nung ACS account nya kaya hnd cya makapagpareassess ng ibang field. For this case, you have to email ACS na alisin yung rights ng agent sa account mo at ibigay yung account mismo sayo. You can't create another account under the same Passport number.

sorry, nakita ko na yung lodge date mo sa isang comment mo..xP hehe.. anyways, Feb 2020 yung estimate ni Iscah if ever so I guess better to wait for it na lang kung ayaw mong mahassle sa reassessment sa ACS. besides, mahirap kasi makita kung naghahanap pa yung NSW ng web developers. bka mainvite ka na rin for 189 even before mo pa matapos yung reassessment mo for web developer kaya better wait na lang.
eto yung link sa iscah for reference: https://www.iscah.com/will-get-189-invite-december-2019-estimates/

Given no info about your background, all I could say is don’t be fixated with 189. Surely you have such high points it could be a long wait to get an invite but surely once they’ve finished allocating invites for 95 and above, you’re points will be next in line. At the same time, consider other visa subclasses too. Good luck

@cutiepie25 makikisingit lang din. kung gusto nyo po mag SV dito, not necessarily naman na master of IT ang kunin since positive naman na po yung assessment nyo. yung friend ko kasi nag diploma lang dahil meron naman syang positive assessment dahil ang habol lang nya is au study points. Baka pwede nyo din tingnan tong side na to Ang downside lang may possibility na di kayo eligible sa post study visa, depende sa kung ano po yung kukunin nyo. madami pa pong options and tama po sila ang taas na ng points nyo hehe. abang abang lang. di po talaga biro ang tuition fee ng international students dito lalo na kung higher education ang tatake nyo Best of luck!

@cutiepie25, hi po, SV (Subclass 500) yong kinuha ko nag pa assess ako ng agency. I've received the COE from school na and next is for Visa lodging na din. I'm an IT graduate dito sa Pinas. Yong experience ko is mostly BPO ibat-ibang scope of work pero yong recent ko is more on Data Analytics. I'm taking Diploma and Advanced Diploma sa isang college. Meron naman colleges that offer elective courses (like, Web Dev, Software programming), yong school ko is focus on Network Engineering which yan din yong gusto kong itake na path.

@hikari yes, mas mura nga yung diploma or certificate pero lam ko naghigpit na sila ngayon. marami ng rejected SVs kasi nga hindi na legitimate yung intention na mag-aral. anyways, another downside ng diploma or certificate maliban sa hindi ka pede kumuha ng post study visa is that kung may dependent ka, asawa or de facto, hindi cla pde magfull time job. would not matter though kung mag-isa lng pupunta si @cutiepie25 dito.

Hi po, IT degree po ako sa bachelors dito sa Pinas. Gusto ko rin sana yang diploma kaso hindi ko alam papano lulusot. Pag po ba nareject ako ng study visa, bawal na ako mag189? Gusto ko po kasi itry yung network or cyber security diploma
Joined: Oct 08, 2019
@cutiepie25, di po ako sure jan.. research more about Visa 189 po. If you wanted to get the Visa 189, then make sure na qualified ka for Visa 189. Sayang naman kase if yong experience mo is pwedi na sa Visa 189, of course money din isa sa big factor. Daming factors to consider kase sa Visa 189. Yong SV is not a guaranteed way for PR Pathway naman per nabasa ko sa mga forums but if andon kana you can plan na if anong next mo na gagawin. Depende sa purpose niyo talaga. Yong nakilala ko dito sa PinoyAu nakalusot naman. Nasa AU na siya nong October pa. IT din siya dito sa Pinas. Din Diploma and Advanced Diploma din yong kinuha niya sa school. Basta make sure lang yong statement of purpose mo is justifiable and may concrete na mga statement na babalik ka talaga sa Pinas.

@cutiepie25 and @lunarcat there are states that gives State Sponsorship for their international graduates like South Australia.;) but going to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as a student would be a risk kasi hnd sila nagsosponsor, pero mas maraming work sa tatlong cities an yun if ever, i mean compared to other places, especially for IT.
@cutiepie25 sir po ako.xP hehe. uhm... about money, it depends on which state you would be in and how much you would need to pay for tuition fee per semester. To give you an overview:
1.) tuition would be around $15k to $20k per semester. Masters has 4 sems while bachelors as 6 sems.
2.) In Adelaide and Melbourne, monthly rent is around $500 if you are living alone in a room but in a shared house.
3.) Add in $100 monthly for electricity, gas, internet and water.
4.) Mobile phone is $45 per month if you take a post paid, additional $50 if you get it with a phone.
5.) Transportation in Adelaide is like $50 per month if you get a concession discount because you are a student, but in Melbourne it is around $150 as the discount depends on the Uni, I think, or maybe if you are already bachelors or masters then you won't get the discount anymore.
6.) Then probably allow $500 for your food and miscellaneous stuff.
As for the work, you are only legally allowed to work 20 hours per week or 40 hours per fortnight (every 2 weeks). Minimum rate legally is $20. So technically, if these are strictly followed, you would have $1600 per month.
For the $1600 earned every month, minus numbers 2 to 6 above ($500 - $100 - $45 - $150 - $500), you're only left with $300 saving for the tuition fee pay.
Honest advise? Make sure you have saved enough money to pay at least for 2 sems before you go here in Australia. Then at least you won't be stressed out on saving enough money when you are here. You can work the normal 40 hours per week if you are on sem break, in between sems, and even during summer break so you can save more during those times.

Salamat po sir sa napakagandang in-depth explanation. Mukang hindi nga kakayanin. So dapat yung 1 year palang tuition meron na ko. Hayz.
@lunarcat ask ko lang po, ano ang student agency na gamit ng friend nyo?
