NSW State Sponsorship

Bryann

Bad news. My NSW SS application has been declined. Their reason is my Philippine degree has been assessed by ACS as equivalent to only an AQF Diploma. Requirement daw nila is Australian Degree equivalent. So ayun. Haha. I guess back to 175 visa route. Section 3 kasi school ko.

@Bryann dont feel bad po.. ok lng yan.. bka po 175 VISA po talaga ang para sa inyo... keep the faith

@Bryann : Ok lang po yan, medyo mabilis din naman na procesing ng 175 visa. Sa VIC po ayaw nyo subukan since online lang naman sya?

@Bryann oks lang yan, at least pag 175 ka, kahit sang lugar ka sa AU, pde kang magstay and magwork. Tska at least you can lodge ngayon pa lang, before July 2012. hehhehe

Bryann

@kikay and @hotshot
Thanks guys. Okay lang naman po mag-175 po ako I have enough points naman, sayang lang yun NSW SS pampabilis sana ng processing times. Anyway baka po hindi na ako mag-apply pa ng ibang sponsorship kasi like yun sa VIC, matagal po ang timeline nila eh, so might as well lodge na my 175 application baka hopeully this year magka-CO agad. Move forward lang tayo, hehe. God has a plan.

@stolich18
Oo nga po eh, salamat. Actually sa Sydney, NSW naman plan namin mag-settle talaga kasi andun yun the rest of the family. Kaya sayang din if magka-NSW SS, mapapabilis. Okay din naman ready na yun papers for 175. Will try to lodge next week after makuha ni wifey yun Certificate of English niya from her university. Sarado kasi dahil holy week.

@Bryann : ah ganun po ba katagal yung VIC? nag-apply pa naman ako as backup just in case ma-deny yung NSW sponsorship ko. So mukang nakasalalay na lang sa NSW ang visa application ko since matagal ang VIC. Anyway, oks lang din kahit 175 route...baka before yearend e may CO na din. magandang pamasko.

@Bryann: Naku sayang Bakit naman ganun sila? Ang mahal din ng bayad ah tapos idedeny ka.. ANo ba yan.. Napressure ako bigla sa IELTS ampots hehheh.. Tlagang dapat maka 7 kasi kung madedeny ka pala pwede kang mag 175..May kinalaman pa ang school grabe naman..

@hoshots: yes matagal sa VIC I applied there before(with my old occupation) it took me two months to wait and then denied.. Yun iba halos 4 months ang inantay tapos dineny.. sabi nila sa rejection letter nila sa kin eh wala daw akong kapasidad mamuhay sa state nila kasi wala daw akong kakilala etc..Good luck sa NSW mo

@Bryann: huwaaattt!!! AQF diploma din assessment sakin..nalungkot naman ako news mo.

@Bryann:bakit ganun sa SS,nag ma matter pa yung school to think positive ka naman sa ACS.Grabe naman sila sa higpit

nylram_1981

Nalulungkot naman talaga ako sa post ni @Bryann. My skill is under SOL2. In case of rejected NSW SS, di ako puede mag 175 route. My last option is for hubby to retake the IELTS (aim for 6), cya ang mag main applicant and mag-claim na lng kami for partner skills...hayyyyyy
I'm losing hope. Parang himala na lng pag pumasa ako.

Bryann

@nylram_1981
Naku pareho pala tayo ng case. Anyway, don't get discouraged. Malay mo iba naman ang tao na mag-assess sayo. Hehe. Nag-email nga ako ng appeal sa kanila, I know maliit lang chance nun pero why not. Libre naman ang pag-send ng email. I cited yun qualifications ko, and na tumira ako dun for a few years. And 2 natapos ko kurso., etc. Oh well, next week lodge na lang visa 175.

Sayang hindi ko agad na-receive yun result, date sa results is March 23 ata. Nasa bahay pa eh, tinawag lang sakin ng wife ko yun masamang balita. Sana pala hindi ka na nakagastos ng 15k for the SS. Nasa requirements kasi nila is Bachelor's Degree. Hindi ko naman alam na AQF Bach. Degree pala dapat. Akala ko as long as Bachelor's degree graduate. Nag-email pa ako sa kanila sabi nila Bachelor Degree daw. Haha. Miscommunication lang siguro.

Lesson sa atin, when they say Bachelor's Degree it means AQF equivalent ng bachelor's degree. Dapat Australian equivalent.

@Bryann: kinukulit ko n nga ngaun ang asawa kong mag-register for Apr21 exam. Balak ko kasi di na kami claim partner points since mababa IELTS nya. Ask na lng kami ng certificate of english as medium of instruction sa school nya which is nire-request na namin..hehe
Actually last yr pa nga ung VETASSESS result nya, 1 yr na nitong march. Itong IELTS lng talaga malaki hadlang.

Grabe naman NSW,I checked in there site wala naman dun nakalagay na dapat comparable sa Au degree yung qualification ng applicant.Ang gulo nila=c

tamarind26

Grabe ang lupit ng NSW.

Bryann

By the way, share lang. Yun binalik lang samin is letter na nasa sobre. Haha. May pirma lang nun manager din, and meron nakasulat lang na maiksi saying regret to inform you, ito yun reason, etc. Hindi na binalik yun ibang documents and forms. Nag-email nga ako, hoping they will reconsider. Since nasa kanila pa yun forms, sana lang magkaroon ng milagro. Haha.

sorry to hear that bro, but on the brighter side
- you can choose whatever state you want.
- may time ka pa para makapag-ipon ng konti bago magpunta ng AU kung 175.

ito yung mga nakikita kong advantage dati kung nde ako makapaglodge ng 176, so kung 175 or 176 win win pa rin.

goodluck bro

@Bryann

hindi mo ba sinabay yung application mo sa NSW at VIC?
ako kasi sinabay ko e, pero syempre nauna yung NSW mag-approve saken, tapos last month nareceive ko naman yung VIC SS... para in case na madeny sa isa, may backup pang isa...

I guess sa 175 ka talaga pinagkaloob

skyline

@Bryann:Lucky ka pa din,ako kasi gusto ko maging 175 kaso hindi pwede=c Anyway,binasa ko at hinanap yang sinasabi ng NSW wala ako makita na dapat comparable to Au's degree yung mag seek ng sponsorship sa kanila.Try to appeal.

paki suyod sir ng site nila at paki download mga forms, i think may nabasa ako about dyan e, na kelangan AQF bachelors degree... not sure though... i maybe wrong...

Bryann

I checked over and over again.

http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/5788/STNI-Update-List-of-Occupations-22.09.11.pdf

Bachelor's Degree lang ang nakasulat. Hindi nga nila masyado emphasize yun education eh, work experience lang and IELTS and Skills Assessment and age. Dun sa link na See If you Qualify. http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/15026/Skilled_migration_20110819.pdf

Anyway just wanted to hear their explanation so I emailed them, I even forwarded yun email exchanges ko with them last month kasi tinanong ko na yun eh. Sagot nila is okay lang daw basta daw 4 year course and bachelor's degree relevant sa occupation na in demand na I am applying for sponsorship.

JClem

Bryann, sana positive yung email response. Nahihiya naman ako sa'yo talaga. :-S Kung hindi ata kita binigyan ng idea about 176, nakapag-submit ka na sana last month pa ng 175.

k_mavs

@Bryann Sana nga sir ma reconsider yung decision nung sa NSW SS. Baka naman they would reconsider their decision once na ma plead mo yung case mo.

Bryann

@JClem
Wala po yun not your fault. Malay ba natin, hehe. Weird lang yun ACS same school kami ng isang member dito, pero AQF Degree assessment sa kanya. So nag-appeal din ako sa ACS. Wait 5 days daw. Sila kasi rootcause so try ko din baka magbago. Hehe. If not, file na ng 175. Nakapag-fillup na ako last night eh payment na lang kulang.

hotshot

@Bryann : sana nga po ma-reconsider. kung hindi man, dapat man lang siguro na i-refund nila ang binayad niyo. kasi nag-confirm naman kayo about the qualifications bago kayo nagsubmit at yun ang naging go-signal niyo para ituloy ang application sa kanila. hindi rin po biro ang 300AUD na nasayang lang dahil maling information ang sinabi nila sa inyo.

LokiJr

@Bryann, binanggit ba sa SS letter kung anong requirement yung magpapa-approve sa assessment niyo? Kasi diba pag section 3 may hihingin lang naman sila additional docs

Bryann

@LokiJR
Wala e, basta sinabi lang sa SS letter regret to inform you blah blah kasi assessment daw ni ACS sa Phil. Degree ko is AQF Diploma. Requirement daw nila is AQF Degree.

Tama baka naman hindi para sayo ang 176, tsaka binalitaan me ni tootzkie na magastos raw dun sa Sydney nandun na sya eh. Plano raw nga nyang ma-assign sa regional area para mas hindi malaki gastos. Baka pang 175 ka makakapunta sa Oz, walang problema kahit anong visa class basta makakaalis pa rin papuntang Oz okey na yan. Wag ka masyadong malungkot.

heyits7me_mags

O, bakit nahinto ang thread na 'to?, go lang kayo, pero ang sabi tootzkie mgastos dito sa Sydney gusto ko ma-assigned sa regional area, wag susuko 2yrs. lang naman kayo dun mag stay at mag wo-work tsaka pa assign kayo sa regional ng NSW. Kaya natin mag survive.

Bryann

@heyits7me_mags
Okay lang naman kasi enough naman points ko. Gusto ko lang sana un SS para mas mabilis processing. Yun lang talaga difference. Kasi with or without SS, kahit mag-175 route ako, sa Sydney pa din kami ng family ko titira kasi andun lahat family and friends namin. Hehe. So magttyaga na lang and hindi na lang namin pansinin un high cost of living, try na lang mag-adjust. Hehe.

heyits7me_mags

@Bryann, korek! kaya natin yan..=)
