Ayaw niyo i-try ang visa 189? para may ibang option kayo to be an Australian PR aside sa visa 190 since your husband is a Construction Project Manager.

By the way maam, ask ko lang, di na kayo mag cla-claim ng points sa english ni husband niyo?
Kasi wala pong points ang competent english lang. Mas maganda po sana na maka 7 din sya sa speaking and writing kasi sa IELTS po minimum band score po ang tinitignan in each category and hindi po ang overall band score para malaman kung competent, proficient or superior ang english nya.

Ano po ang total points niyo without State sponsorship? atleast 55 points naman po? kasi sa NSW isa po sa tinitignan nila to be invited is ang english level po ng applicant. Try niyo po sana makakuha ng atleast proficient sa english kasi matindi po ang labanan sa NSW for an invite kagaya sa Victoria.
Let’s say po na may parehas na applicant na 55pts din, same ng occupation ng husband niyo, the only difference is yung 55pts nya ay may proficient english po sya. In this scenario, siya yung mas mauunang ma-invite compared po sa inyo.
Eto po ang selection process ng NSW, ranked in the following order po:
1. Occupation
2. Australian Department of Home Affairs point score
3. English Language Ability
4. Skilled Employment
I hope this helps.

icoconsider po namen siguro ang pte if by end of july eh hindi pa sya ma invite. 55 pts lang po kame plus 5 pts if ma invite ng nsw. i am not sure po if madami applicant sa nominated job nya, based sa occupation ceiling for 189 visa madami pa di quota (out of 5400 eh 45 lang ang na invite) so tingin ko wala masyado applicant but high demand kaya dun ako umaasa pero correct me if mali po ang analysis ko hehe.
again thanks so much po sa pag reply.

Opo maam consider niyo ang PTE malay mo doon ang blessing ni sir, marami na rin success stories na ganyan na di makapasa sa IELTS eh naipapasa sa PTE and vice versa.
I assume ok na ang Skills Assessment ni husband niyo and maximum points nakuha niya? If ganayn ang english na nga lang po need niyo magkapoints. pag nag 10 kayo 65pts +5pts. tsak invited sa 190 heheh.
Goodluck po maam sa inyo ni husband niyo. Keep the faith and stay positive.

1. Does it mean di pwedeng umuwi ng pinas during your first two years?
2. Are they specifying the date na dapat andun kana sa state nila?
DIY hopeful po dito. Thanks po.

Medyo matumal ang NSW ngayon kasi nag close sila sa 190 except sa occupations na nasa priority list pero syempre ang iinvite nila is yung top ranking. Ok lang rin naman kasi malapit na ang July maam. Goodluck

I just finished gathering all my requirements for visa 189/190, and I currently have an overall score of 70. which one is better or faster? having a state sponsor or family member?
Also, I have first degree cousins in Australia. Are they qualified to sponsor me on my application?
Regards,
Ted
