1. Meron po dito nagapply ng 485 (Graduate Work Stream) na ang first student visa e nagrant after 5 Nov 2011?
2. If ever po na madeny yung 485, may effect po ba yun sa future visa applications mo (like 189 or 190)?
3. Once po ba na naglodge ka na ng 485, makacancel po ba existing student visa mo?
Pasensya na po sa mga tanong. Sana po matulungan nyo ako dahil po kinancel ng uni yung COE ko dahil maaga daw po natapos yung course ko. Advice ng agent mag aral ako ng English for Academic purposes para hnd macancel student visa ko. Sabi nya hnd daw ako pwede 485 kasi yung 1st student visa ko nagrant ng AFTER 5 Nov 2011.
Mga kababayan pashare naman ng experience. salamat

- BS Computer Science graduate in Pinas
- IT professional with more than 10 yrs of experience (7 yrs in Singapore, 3+ yrs in Pinas)
- had engaged AIMS for processing my 189 visa
Results of the initial assessment:
All along, AIMS gave me that confidence na I'm qualified for the PR visa, only to find out:
- ACS' assessment to my degree is only equivalent to AQF Diploma (10 pts), I suspected na yung college na pinasukan ko sa Pinas is wala sa list of their standard schools.
- Due to that, my 4yrs+ experience as IT Business Analyst (nominated occupation) wasn't recognized (0 pts)
- Total points to date: 50 pts (including IELTS for band 7, all areas)
- AIMS lodged my EOI in June and they claimed 10 pts for a regional sponsorship. Total points in EOI: 60 pts
Questions:
- bakit po 10 points ang claim ni AIMS for regional sponsorship? ang alam ko is 5 lang
- i'm planning to take master's degree in IT para macover ung kulang kong points sa education. possible ba ito while i have a pending EOI?
- ang tuition fee for the MIT is 40K for 2 yrs, magkano pong showmoney ang dapat ko ipakita?
My plan now is student pathway (subclass 500) then post grad visa then PR : estimated po ba to get this is 4 yrs?
Thanks in advance Kuya Dan and may God bless you more!

I just have a few questions that you may help me with in making my decisions.
First po is, kailangan po ba na Public University or Malaking university ang pasukan ko ng pag master's or at the end of the day ay pareho lang ito? Malaking tipid yung bang institution compared sa public. Case in point - University of South Australia vs. Torrance University (bagong bago) vs. Kaplan Business School.
Second po is does it get harder for other states? Nakapag basa basa na din po ako ng official government migration sites, and parang pinaka madaling mag migrate sa South Australia. Meron silang stream for International Graduates kahit make one year post graduate pa lang. Ang kinakabahan ko lang duon ay parang wala masyadong trabaho kumpara sa Melbourne, which is my first choice. Mahirap ba ang Masters in Coursework Path sa Melbourne.
Looking forward po to your Answers and advice!
Thank you very much!

My question is, do you think he will easily find job under dependent visa? I am the primary applicant who will take a master's course in education, God willing, this June 2017.

1. Do you know any agency or how i can apply for a visa for my son? I already declared him on my student visa. I just need his visa so i can bring hime here. I asked rps migration from cebu to help me but they are hesitant since they only assist IT, nursing or engineering and i didn't get my visa from them. Is it also possible for me to just lodge my visa if i can't find an agency. How did you process yours?
2. Also, do you know how much the tuition fees would cost for primary school once i will be on a graduate visa? I know it's different per state but just curious. I am currently studying in perth
Thanks!
