Victoria State Sponsorship

@jiomariano What do you mean po na irrelevant yung points sa subclass 190.. Upon checking po kasi sa http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-

Eto yung Eligibilities nya..

be nominated by an Australian state or territory
be invited to apply for the visa
have an occupation that is on the relevant list of eligible skilled occupations
have a suitable skills assessment for that occupation
satisfy a points test requirement
be under 45 years of age
have Competent English

@olbinado11 hindi kase automated ang invite system sa 190, unlike sa 189. It depends kase sa pag ka rare ng occupation mo pag state sponsorship. Kung rare ang application mo, like nurses for example. Kahit 55+5 points mo, pipliin ka ng Victoria. Pero pag ICT occupation, kahit mataas ang points mo, mahirap mainvite, kase madaming kalaban.

Tama ba @jiomariano ?

olbinado11

@Heprex Thanks sa info boss. Pero saan po malalaman pagkararity nung occupation ko? Software Tester po kasi ako. And nung chineck ko yung Points Table nasa 50 Points palang ako... so sad.

Au_Vic

@lccnsrsnn question lang, if you have 70 points, why did you apply for 190?

lccnsrsnn

@Au_Vic Hi! Hindi pwede sa 189 yung occupation ko. Software Tester 261314.

lccnsrsnn

@olbinado11 Software Tester din ako. Open sya sa Victoria. I don't agree about points being irrelevant kasi the occupation is open naman and sure, madaming applicants sa ICT pero priority nila ang mataas na points.

olbinado11

@lccnsrsnn ooh good to hear tester ka din pala! so kahit 50 pts plang ako pde na apply? nakapagpaassess na po kayo sa ACS?

lccnsrsnn

@olbinado11 60 points yata minimum sa Victoria. Yes na-assess na ako and nakapag EOI na last July 10.

olbinado11

@lccnsrsnn 190 din po? Follow up question po.. Sorry dami tanong. Nagtake po kasi ako ng academic ielts last feb, at may 6 po ako (ave 7), pasok na ba sya sa Competent (6+) ? or if magretake po ako advise nyo po ba ielts pa dn? And tama ba na academic kinuha ko?

Heprex

@lccnsrsnn Sana nga mali ako. hehehe kung old process ni Vic, posible, kasi chinecheck tlga nila isa isa yung nag ssubmit sa site nila. Kaso, ginaya na nila setup ni NSW, which is sila yung napili. Tulad sa occupation ko sa NSW, 263111, daming 75+ sa kabilang forum, pero walang invite. Though nag iinvite sila sa 2613 family ng 70 or 75. kaya napansin namin na it depends tlga sa state. All the best sa inyo.

Edit: alam ko may tinatawag na stream 2 or 1 ba yun. na High ranking points, iniinvite nila regardless ng occupation. Di ko lang alam kung tama pag kakaalala ko.

Au_Vic

@lccnsrsnn oh ok software tester ka pala I thought some other ICT occupation na pwede for 189. Yep, for sure marami applicants sa ICT at marami din mataas points

olbinado11

@lccnsrsnn Bakit bawal Software tester sa 189?

lccnsrsnn

@olbinado11 Hindi ko alam kung bakit di pwede ang Software Tester sa 189 eh. Dapat IELTS General lang kinuha mo. Tsaka dapat 7 lahat. Try mo PTE Academic tinatanggap sya sa AU.

olbinado11

@lccnsrsnn hala, bat nmn kaya hndi allowed?.... Hindi pwedeng Software Engineer tas 190 sating mga tester? may nkpgtry na kaya?...

lccnsrsnn

@olbinado11 Kasi yung description ng ACS sa Software Engineer hindi pasok sa tasks na ginagawa ko. You need to provide kasi detailed job description sa COE.

qatev

@olbinado11 @lccnsrsnn hi! Software tester din ako with 70pts. Medyo kinabahan ako sa hindi nagmamatter ang points, pero sa mga nababasa ko kasi system daw nagffilter ng points then those who have high points are selected. Makikibalita naalng ako dito if may nainvite na sa inyo sa 190 VIC. good luck satin! July 5 nag lodge ng EOI yung agent ko. Btw, at least 12 wks daw after maglodge ng EOI ang hhintayin before makatanggap ng ITA (sabi ng agent ko and ng friend ko na andon na sa VIC).

lccnsrsnn

@qatev The points won't matter if your occupation is not open sa state. Pero if it's open, of course point system pa din. July 10 nag-lodge yung agent ko. 12 weeks nga daw pero may nakita ako sa myimmitracker 3 days lang na-invite na sya. We'll see.

olbinado11

@lccnsrsnn @qatev dami natin tester ah hehe... recommend nyo nmn po agent nyo... nagsisimula palang po kasi ako..

studio719

@qatev @lccnsrsnn i believe the points will matter especially sa change ng application process ng VIC for ICT professionals regarding state sponsorship. though mukhang mataas naman points nyo so wishing you luck na makuha agad.

@Heprex may quota rin kasi sila per job. so not necessary na icompare mo ung points ng 263111 sa 2613. anyways konting tiis na lang bro. alam kong tagal mo na rin nag-aabang dito based sa ACS thread. darating din yan, hehe.

btw, stream 2 is para dun sa mga wala sa CSOL list ni NSW but have very high points. though the job code should still be in the broader CSOL list (kasama sa list ng DIBP sa ibang states).

@olbinado11 you can try retaking ielts for a higher score pero this time around, try the general test instead of academic. magkaiba lang sila sa reading and writing portions wherein mas lighter ung general (i.e. books, advertisement) compared sa academic (i.e. journals). as far as i know, academics is required lang for those needing professional registrations like accountants and doctors pero hindi naman sa ICT (though double check mo rin for your particular job code)

Heprex

@studio719 Yep, yun nga din napansin ko. anyway, sa PTE na lang muna focused ko. para mas malaki chance. thanks! all the best!

olbinado11

@studio719 napansin ko po may mga agent karamihan.. mktulong po ba saking kng kuha dn ako ?

studio719

@olbinado11 depende sa iyo yan. if you're willing to put time in to read through yung process and magresearch din, then you can save a lot of money. otherwise, an agent can guide you through the way by telling you what's needed (pero ikaw pa rin ung magcollect nung mga docs required).

olbinado11

@studio719 thanks po.. ipon muna ako ng points.. need retake ng ielts then cgro gain muna 5 yrs xp..

jacjacjac

Pwede po bang gumamit ng Visa/ Mastercard DEBIT card sa visa application payment?
Or strictly credit cards lang?
Any other way/ method of payment?
Thanks in advance!

nehalem

@jacjacjac Pwede gumamit ng debit card pero need mo i double check sa bank ung max withdrawal limit nyo po

Kami debit card ginamit namin (Mastercard) pero ipinadjsut namin ung max withdrawal limit

@lccnsrsnn @olbinado11 may list po ang DIBP kung ano ang NOC na pasok sa SOL at CSOL, or baka iba na ang tawag nila ngayon ,

**Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)
**Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)

Dibp is the one that categorizes the occupations. Ang 189 I think is the one that almost all states may need ng ganung NOC, then 190, specific lang ang need nila sa territory nila. As far as I know, and Ive been here for more than a year, Software Tester, 190 lang talaga.

@qatev correct, kung hindi available sa state ang occupation mo, it doesnt matter kahit 80pts ka pa. As for vic, i think points-based na sila, meaning the higher the points, the higher the chances of getting invited. hindi tulad last year, na kahit 55+5 lang, tinatanggap nila basta approved sa reviewers nila.

@MissOZdreamer they never said, basta usual response, meaning template lang pinapadala nila...

@jiomariano mabilis ha. dati kami for ICT, i submitted oct 2016, dumating rejection feb 2017

jiomariano

@mergetwo Maybe because they're not keen on sponsoring occupations like mine Oh well, 189 was the original plan anyway

rechie

hi guys, under VISA 190, required ba na tlgng kontakin yong gusto mong territory? or sila na lng mismo ang kokontak sayo sakali?

I am about to submit my EOI with 70 points total.

Salamat.
