Following din. Sa pagkakaalam ko 3 years ka sa company to get PR via 186 not sure if DE or transition or both. May nakausap ako before, she got sponsorship when the time na 2 years na siya sa company, then na grantan siya ng TSS 482 medium, then after a year she can now apply for 186 since pang 3rd year na niya.

ahh okay o, Salamat, we are thinking if our daughter who is 22 now is still considered adult dependent since she is still studying ( inabutan ng K12 sa Pinas nd still have 1 more year in her course in Medtech)
Joined: Oct 23, 2021
kailangan po bang mag take na ng PTE bago umalis ng Pinas or pwedeng dyan na mag PTE?

hello po. may medlabsci po ba dito offshore na nakahanap ng employer na magsponsor for 186?
Joined: May 10, 2021
@happyfeet as far as we've researched po, 186 is different from 491. For employer-sponsored 186, you don't need to be nominated by the state anymore because the employer has already done it for you. This is as far as I understand my research po.
Question ko na lang din po, offshore po ba kayo? Is the sponsoring employer your current employer? We're actually considering this pathway din po kasi.

As I remember you just need the TRN of the employer nomination, di needed na approved na ang nomination but of course this is the risk of the process.

Hello po. Baka may nakakakaalam sa inyo...
Nakapag-skills assessment na po kasi ako. Kaso lumipat po ako ng company (same job pa rin) after ng skills assessment ko, so bale di kasama yung current employer ko sa skills assessment ko.
If ever po ba na willing mag-sponsor yung current employer ko for 186 DE, kailangan po ba kasali yung current employer ko sa skills assessment ko? (Meaning, kailangan ko ulit magpa-skills assessment).
Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

I don't think so, as long as you have a positive skills assessment i.e. your nominated occupation matches with the result of the assessment your application with at least 3 years of work experience credited should be good.
186 DE visa is open to offshore applicants so I don't think this would be a requirement at all. My opinion only.

Wala namang limit dapat. Pero di ako sure dito.
Sabi ni Google pag lagpas 10k daw, innotify daw ng bank yung government.

Hello @kagenui ,
Is this your first time lodging a Visa application?
I'm assuming both you and your employer DIYed your applications, correct?
In my case kase (SC 186 DE), we did get an agent to process the application.
We didn't get any error like above, my agent submitted/lodged the applications for nomination and visa on the same day.

Hello @onieandres thanks for replying....Yes we are doing a DIY for the visa....
and I have progressed now with that error and it seems just an unresolved error according to DHA.
So it seems that the visa lodging can be made simultaneously right?
How many months did it take for the nomination approval?
