RSMS -Skill Select visa

cristinemichelle

Hi Me and my husband were so curious if this is really the right visa for us, we are both an engineering graduate, he is a licensed ECE while me is just a BAchelors degree in electrical engineering..One of our propective consultant suggest this RSMS visa and promise to help us, she is asking for more or less $4500 which is very costly for us..We wonder also if what should be the first step is it the assessment or the IELTS..guys i really need your advice..

cristinemichelle

$4500 dollars is some kind of a consultation fee, she is an immigration consultant

she told us that RSMS is just 5 months of processing, is this for real since we would really want to be in Oz early next year but we dont know what are the step by step process..

@cristinemichelle - hi.. welcome to the forum..

1) for sure na-orient na kayo ng agent kung anung mga visa types available
- RSMS- regional, dun lang kayo pwde tumira and magwork
- State Sponsored - state restricted, di pwede lumipat ng ibang state
- Independent - pwede kahit saan sa AU..

2) now, next thing is to look kung nasa SOL or CSOL ba ang nominated skill nyo
- kung nasa SOL, pwede kayo sa Independent visa 189
- kung nasa CSOL Sched 2 , applicable kayo sa SS visa 190, or RSMS (eto yata ung 489)..

3) check nyo po ilang ang total points nyo according to SkillSelect Points system
- pass mark is 60 pts
- may several options on how to get additional points
- like magpa-assess kayo both sa EA (additional 5 pts for spouse)
- IELTS score na 8 - is equivalent to 20pts..
- etc....

may separate thread for Engineers Australia Assessment..
- basic requirements
- IELTS
- CDR
- COE- with job description
- Diploma/TOR

if you continue to read other threads dito sa forum..
mapapansin mo na marami din ang hindi ng nag hire ng migration agent..

Hi thanks a lot for replying, anyway i wonder if what SOL and CSOL stands for? Second is, what are the possibilities that we should take to ensure that we really fit for Oz?

cristinemichelle

Do we have to take all of the assessments online, what are the best site and the payments? We have of at least 6 months downtime is this possible

Hi sorry i got lost, I already check at SOL and CSOL both have the electronics and electrical skill nomination..I wonder if what is the best visa to apply is it the independent or the RSMS, the agent told us that RSMS is good for 5 months application..thanks again

SOL- Skilled Occupation List
CSOL - Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List

@cristinemichelle - identify your nominated occupation... check SOL or CSOL.. and the assessing authority will be listed there..

example: Vetassess, TRA , ACS, Engrs Australia
- google their website and check their assessment process
- or check their specific threads here in the forum..

- just like my first suggestion... estimate nyo po muna ang total points nyo..
- dun naka depend kung pwde ba kayo sa independent, state (SS) or regional (RSMS)

welcome po sa forum...

to answer your question, mas priority ang CSOL.

CSOL - mga occupations na kailangan ng state sponsorship ang mga occupation na nandito sa CSOL sched 2)- visa 190 or visa 489, ang restrictions for this visa, you need to live and work for 2 years in that particular state (for visa 190) or regional area (if visa 489)

SOL - if your occupation is here, this is for independent skilled migrant visa applicants -Visa 189, you can live and work anywhere in AU..

now which visa fits you... depende po case nyo (occupation, work exp, ielts, total points)..

hello. question po.
currently on a 457 and inaayos ko na sana ung PR ko. problem is, wala na sa SOL ung skill ko but in CSOL, so pede ako mag-lodge ng 190. Kaso upon checking WASOL (skills list ng Western AU), ung particular skill na yun, wala na sa list nila.

1) Tama ba na even if I submitted EOI, malabo na maselect paren ako for SkillSelect right?

2) Nakausap ko ung HR namin and willing naman sila to nominate me for that skill (though I need to fund for all my visa fees) -- eto ung RSMS Direct Entry Stream. If through that, need pa bang magsubmit ng EOI? Anyone knows kung ano steps pag RSMS DES?

Thanks!
