    Congratulations po sa lahat ng nakatanggap invites sa WA <3 @jennyC @jordanyu14 Bale, tanong ko lang po if may idea kayo about sa Settlement Funds ni WA if meron po? Alam ko kasi dati po merong bayad ang nomination and may required settlement fund pero this year tinanggal nila yung nomination fee and walang nakalagay na info about settlement funds. Magtatanong lang po sana ako just in case if ever merong may alam po if magkano? Thank you very much po!

    wala akong agent mapagtanongan, pero sabi dito no expired documents upon invitation. Sept 2019 skilss assessment ko, october 6 2022 visa 189 invite ko

    Hindi ako mag pupush, though may advise naman na attach old and new assessment, basta wala mababago din sa points, pero risky, and mahal visa fee

    Kayo po? Visa processing na?

    Received ITA for 189 this morning po. Praise God!
    Plant or Production Engineer | Date of EOI: Sept 10, 2022 | ITA: Oct 6, 2022 | 70 pts

    Hi, I'm new here. My husband is a licensed ECE but working in a petroleum company for 10 years as Terminal Plant Engineer. I'm curious how to support the career episode as a Plant or Production Engineer since my license is ECE. For your advise please.

    Hi Ma'am, for my experience I did mention in my career episodes all the Engineering Activities I did while attached in a Project. My career episodes focuses mainly in Detailed Engineering, On-site/Offsite Fabrication, Installation, Pre-Commissioning, Commissioning and Start-Up Activities. I made sure I included all the formulas, activities supporting that I really applied Engineering concepts and practices in my work, and information about different Projects that I've been attached with.

    Question po - sana may makatulong.

    May assessment po ako sa ICT Business Analyst valid till 2024, sitting at 90/95 points for 189/190 (80k salary) since August pero wala pa rin pong invite. :( may nagsuggest sa akin na applyan ang Software Engineer instead and lodge a separate EOI with it kasi mas mataas chance. Checked with my agent and employer and swak naman with my current duties.

    Tanong ko now is - Would getting another assessment as SE be worth the extra expense? And if yes should I pull my VIC 190 ROI under ICT BA and apply a new ROI as Software Engineer instead?

    Please sana po may maka advise 🙏

    Timeline:
    2018 Feb - Arrived in Australia (Student Visa)
    2020 Nov - Finished degree (Bachelor's in IT)
    2022 Jan - Skills Assessment Result, Suitable for Migration under ICT BA 261111
    2022 Feb - EOI lodged with 85 points
    2022 Jun - Passed NAATI
    2022 Jul - Re-lodged EOI with 90 points
    2022 Aug - Lodged ROI (VIC)
    2022 Dec - ITA received - 189
    2023 Dec - 189 GRANTED ♥

    Thank you Lord!

    Hello po. Yung 189 dapat 1 application lang po pwede separate or kahit isama mo sa 491 at 190 wag lang sa VIC at other states na mahigpit na gusto sila lang nakaselect. Yung Visa 190 dapat ang hiwa-hiwalay saka 491 kasi may ibang states na gusto sila lang selected state mo. Nung nakareceive ako ng 189 ITA, yung EOI ko nakacheck 189 saka NSW 190 at 491. Dun naman sa 190 ITA ko VIC lang talaga nakaselect.

    Question po pala. Since wala namang passport details na hiningi sa EOI and ROI, is it okay to use sa ROI nomination application yung new passport details ko?

    For PTE and Skills Assessment kasi, ginamit ko yung old passport ko as ID. After receiving my PTE and SA and lodging my EOIs, nag-renew na kami.

    Wala naman po bang issue yun?

    Question po sa mga nakapagsubmit na ng VIC Nomination Application:

    1. Pag offshore po ba, normal yung pagkasubmit ng passport biopage, skinip bigla yung English and Employment sections? For some reason ganun nangyari sa akin. Dumiretso na siya sa Nomination page
    2. Yung Nomination Declaration, dapat po ba iaccomplish yun before isubmit yung application? Or after? Or doesn't matter basta masubmit?

    Salamat po!
