If you don't have previous work experience yet in Australia for your nominated occupation, then it should be a "No." What that question is asking is any local experience prior to you lodging your EOI (meaning as of today), but you can update that EOI at a later date (like after you reach your one-year work anniversary in the company).

hello sa lahat,
nag lodge na po ako ng visa 189 ko. for sure irequire ako ng HIV test since wala HIV ang 482. sa mga taga sydney po, saan branch kaya ng BUPA ang my mas nearer date available. nag check ako dito sa Bankstown malapit sakin, (10mins walk lang sana) but october 7 pa ang next available date. maghihintay ba ang CO if ganyan katagal yun mga appointment dates?

meron ba ditong nag-try magsubmit ng EOI sa QLD kahit di pa sufficient ang settlement funds? contemplating if we'll go this route as well. Thank you!

If you are invited, Migration QLD will ask you to show your current bank statement (document should not be more than a month old), so you do need to have the settlement funds in your bank account.

You must provide proof na ang annual average deposited sa account mo para strong ang evidence mo. Makukuha mo yan sa bank na magrereflect sa bank certificate.
Example 15k aud (kung peso account yan yung equivalent forex) ang nakadeposit na di ginagalaw ng isang taon. Pero kung biglaan na nagkaroon lang ang pera sa account na yun, magiging red flag yan sa case officer. One year okay na.

bakit need mo ng "parent/guardian" answer sa client declaration, kung ikaw naman ung magpapa medical? unless para sa dependent mo yan kung meron kang dependent. hindi ko maalala kung sinagutan ko yang portion na yan dati. wait pa tayo ng mga pwedeng sumagot sa forum para mas safe

If hindi naman kailangan ng ate mo yung pera in the next few months/years, hiramin mo muna yung pera para naka-standby na sya at hindi suspicious yung biglang pasok ng pera. Pag na-approve na yung visa (not just nomination, saka mo na ibalik ung pera.
I'm assuming malaki talaga yung kailangan na settlement funds kasi hindi madali makahanap ng work na sakto sa work experience mo overseas, so parang buffer mo yang settlement funds until makahanap ka ng stable job. The job pool in QLD is more smaller than Sydney/Melbourne, and mas limited yung job opportunities outside Brisbane.

You mean 491 family sponsored? Unfortunately wala ata invite ng ME for 491 or 189 for the last 2 yrs na (correct me if im wrong). ECE ako and I was invited back in Feb 2020, one of the last few rounds ever ng ECE for 189/491. Since then chinecheck ko trend kaya medyo may idea ako. Makikita mo yang invite rounds nyan sa immi website.

Kung kaya mo naman i go mo na kesa magsisi later, sobrang sayang ng chance kasi may obvious na bias sa CE talaga. Mababawi naman pera dito agad sa Aus. Cheers!
