Sobrang daming factors di lang basta nasa PMSOL. Onshore or offshore, visa type applied, not to mention the allocation of slots per region or occupation (not sure if may allocation sa PMSOL though). Some people wait more than a year for a grant, assuming wala problema application.

Baka din yung mga nasa PMSOL bumabagal na invite unlike during the height of the pandemic.

Check the link below baka makatulong. Basa ka na lang habang naghihintay.

Hello po! Curious question lang. Sa mga naka-receive po ng DIRECT GRANT, dumaan pa po ba sa "Initial Assessment" or "Further Assessment" 'yung status ng visa application niyo sa immiaccount or derecho na po from "Received" to "Finalised"? Thank you po sa mga makakasagot.

Nope.

Received (4 months)----- Case Officer Allocated (5months) --- Direct Grant. Pandemic ito ah. 2020

Thanks @tigerlance!

Hello po, need pa na po ba gumawa ng immi account once na naglodge sa EOI? Thank you

Gagamitin nyo po yung immi account kung maglolodge na po kayo ng visa. Kung hindi pa naman po, hindi sya urgent gawin. Pero pwede naman na kayo magcreate ng account at iexplore yung website. Pero kung mag aagent kayo, immi account ng agent yung gagamitin kapag ilolodge na yung visa mo. Ang maari nyo pong gawin kapag ganon ay iimport yung application nyo sa sarili nyong immi account para ma monitor nyo din yung application nyo.

Noted. Thanks much po!

I understand that but they mentioned "order". That means it doesnt matter whether I compete with offshore or onshore applicants, if they're not in PMSOL, I will still be prioritized before them.

4 months ang minimum waiting time ng 190. Considering na daming backlogs ng DHA. They're also prioritizing holiday workers, students and tourist visas.

The link that @toyotafx shared is quite informative (thanks po!)

190 (state-nominated) po ba yung inapplyan nyo? If so, it looks like other visa subclasses are ahead of yours in the priority list. Employer-sponsored, regional-sponsored, and skilled work regional and mauuna than 190. And even those applying with those prioritized visa subclasses, mas priority ang mga onshore than offshore.

Since 2020 pa ang backlogs nila Mas priority kaya nila yung temporary visa holders kasi mas may urgency sila pumasok ng Australia (kasi limited lang ang validity ng visa nila)?

Exactly. Sad but true, if you check doon sa global processing times you'll see that TSS 482 (Employer sponsored) visa has shorter processing times than 491/190.

I personally know quite a lot of people who applied for 482 (medium stream PMSOL) between November 2021 to January 2022 and 2-3weeks lang approved na. Then after 3 years of working sa employer they can apply direct PR.

maguero

@janey123

Kailangan pa rin silang i-nominate ng employer nila for 186 visa. 482 is not like 491 na if you meet the requirements after 3 years you can already apply for PR. So it's important to find out din kung may long-term plan yung employer to do this because not all employers are willing to sponsor the PR.

Hello! May idea kayo bakit nag ppayment failed declined sa visa application? Debit card ng partner ko ang gamit. Naka 2x na pero ayaw pa rin. Galing na rin sa branch kanina to increase online purchase. 😭

Nangyari to sakin. BDO cc gamit ko. Nakablock sa bdo yung transaction kapag overseas so itinawag ko pa sa kanila para iapprove yung merchant.

If it helps, try nyo through Paypal. I tried first using my cc-metrobank but failed. tpos dinaan ko thru paypal..same credit card.. ng ok un payment.

HELP po! We are about to have our medical na. Kaso ang hirap makakuha ng slot sa St.Lukes at doon sa NHS. 28days lang un alloted, but the earliest I got is April 25.
Sabi sa letter, we can request na iextend un time sa Immi, I just wonder if paano un tamang approach. Wala nmn ksi direct messaging to Immi, should I upload a document instead (a letter) stating to request extension?
Right now, seems St.Lukes BGC is not open for medical.. only un Ermita office.
Thanks po sa sasagot!

Bantayan nyo lang po daily, may mga nagkacancel ng slots. We had the same problem. We tried NHS Baguio, got the desired dates but we also checked daily for NHSI Makati. Fortunately after 5 days of trying, we were able to book earlier sched so we cancelled NHSI Baguio.

screenshot mo boss yung booking mo, tapos upload it sa immi account mo together with an explanation. nakalagay naman din kasi na you should notify them if in case di kaya 28 days, i think.

Hello! For 491 medical, alin pong type yung kailangan po? Permanent, temporary or worker? Thanks po sa makakasagot! 🙏

Huhu paano po kaya yung sa medical exam, wala ng slots for March sa St. Lukes and NHSI. 28 days lang to respond 😭

189 - Skilled Independent (subclass 189 53 days 6 months 22 months 36 months
190 - Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) 4 month 7 months 8 months 22 months
491 - State/Territory Govt Noated Regional 78 days 6 months 9 months 20 months
491 - Family Sponsored Regional 73 days 4 months 10 months 13 months

• Kung 189, pwede magwait ng case officer contact bago magmedical. Malaki ang risk 50% baka magexpire na yung medical
• yung 190 - 491, pwede ng magpamedical pero siyempre may risk na 25%. maexpire na yung medical kaya ipaulit yung medical.

Expiry of medical is 1 year.
