Hunter_08

@nutzagi26 for 491 visa sa Tassie you need to submit separate application sa website nila. ako nung dati 489visa nag submit ako ng EOI then nag submit din ako ng application sa website ng Tassie then after nun nung na approved ng Tassie yung sponsorship automatic na kong naka tanggap ng invitation from skill select.

For visa 491 and 190 po kailangan ng invitation sa Skill select bago makapagsubmit ng ROI. Sa Victoria po kasi ako, ang next round na po ng submission for ROI is on May 4-10.

nasagot na po pala ni @rrrosiiieee .. pero ano po meaning ROI.. pasensya na po mga tanong ko 😁✌🏻

ROI (registration of interest) usually sa victoria ung ganitong term. sa case ko sa NT, naglodge ako application sa MigrationNT portal after maglodge ng EOIsa Skillselect.

nasagot po yang tanong mo somewhere dito sa forum hehe.migration agent ang nagreply. for me, ok na maglodge kung sa tingin mo wala na itataas ang points mo at un na ang max para nakapila na kumbaga kung pagbabasehan ang Date of Effect. kung ready na lahat ng docs, you might as well lodge na.2 years naman validity nyan:-)

Hello Good day po sainyo.

May question lng po sana ako about 491 visa (family sponsored). Nag check na po ako ng eligibility ng sponsor namen which is sister ng misis ko and sa WA (perth) sya nakatira.

Aware naman po ako na di naman required na same kayo ng regional/state para i-sponsoran ka nya. pero ang question ko po for example gusto ko sana mag apply for 491 Victoria then may naka list po sa Victoria na dapat nag stay and living ka na sa Victoria for at least 3 months.

_
Residency
You must have lived and worked in regional Victoria for at least the past 3 months._
https://liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/migrate/skilled-migration-visas/491

Ang question ko po e. applicable po ba ito sa both streams (family sponsor and state nomination) or for state nomination lang po.

next question ko po e. nakalagay kasi an 65 yung min points na kailangan to submit EOI. and yung points naman po namen abot ng 80 kasama na yung +15 ng 491 don. pataasan po ba labanan ng points or basta maka 65 ka na mag aantay ka nalang ng ITA?

Sorry po medyo magulo wala kasi ako matanungan. and Thank you in advance po.

@Panorama1
victoria requires na 3 months kana naka reside if you are applying for 491. if di mo na meet yan di ka pede apply , thats my understanding.

hindi pataasan ng points ang 491. as long as naka pasok ka sa pass mark at nag qualify ka sa requirement for that region pede ka nila bigyan ng ITA ko may slot pa for that visa. yan and aking understanding based on my case previously, dont take it as a professional advise that we can get from MARA agents only.

@batman Thank you po. so pag inisa-isa ko po mga state requirements for 491, applicable sya for both. yun kasi yung problema ko now, yung kailangan nag stay ka muna sa state/region nila. which is medyo mahirap gawin now sakin.

batman

then you cant satisfy that requirement, find another state.

nutzagi26

@Panorama1 ... try mo po magsearch dito para sa ibang state na qualified ka for your skills

good day po sa lahat! would like to ask for the following, hihingi sana ng enlightenment (salamat po in advance sa makakasagot!). If ever si partner ang mag primary applicant for 491, then mag de facto po ako (with english test at positive skills assessment pang add'l pts kay primary applicant), may chance po ba akong makahanap ng work aligned sa skills assessment ko?

Hi Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 . This might be off topic pero want to ask you something. I am under ANZSCO 233211 as Civil Engineer. Civil Engineer in the Philippines includes Structural Engineer. My experience are all under Structural Engineer. When I got assessed by EA, I initially nominated ANZSCO 233214 Structural Engineer. Hoiwever, the governing bodies gave me a message that I cannot be assessed as Structural Engineer because I graduated as Civil Engineer. To shorten the story, I was assessed as Civil Engineer. Now, in my visa application, I indicated that I am under ANZSCO 233211 Civil Engineer, but the job description and details are as Structural Engineer. I had a correspondence with the case officer saying that my job description is not according to the description of ANZSCO 233211 Civil Engineer. Any thoughts on what I should respond to?

Hello po. May tanong po ako regarding the $53,900 taxable income for 491. Is it to be from your skilled nominated work? I have two jobs po kasi. One is my skilled nominated work and the other is not. If I combined my annual income for my two jobs po kuha po yung $53,900. Pwede po ba yung ganon? or need po talaga sa skilled work lang? Thank you po

Maski hindi sa nominated work mo.. any job will do basta makuha mo yung salary needed to fulfill the taxable income for 491.

Hi mga Kabayan! I'm planning to lodge my EOI next yr. How much po kaya yung show money na kailangan na meron sa bank if magaapply for 491 visa as main applicant?

Btw, wala po kasi akong kamag-anak sa Oz. Kaya sariling sikap talaga. Gusto ko sana sa WA at nalula ako na 20,000 AUD ang need. Ganun din ba sa offshore applicants?

Yes. Most of the time hindi hinahanap yung show money. But kung matyempuhan kang hingan ng CO then wala kang maipakita, magkakaptoblema kang maghanap ng pera to show. Minsan need pa ung money na nasa account mo at least 3-6months. I would recommend u to start saving for this. Hndi man hanapin, at least u have money to start ur life in Australia.

Noted po & thank you! Yes po, plan ko nga po magopen na ng AUD savings account dito sa BPI. Mas okay po ba kaya yun?

I don't think it's necessary to have an AUD savings account in the Philippines, as there's no assurance that you can withdraw from that once you get here. You will be opening an Australian bank account when you move here anyway (for living expenses, payroll, taxes, etc). I think your existing peso account should be okay, you just need to have the equivalent AUD value in pesos.
