@agentKams sorry sa double post but this is for a different question.
I'm currently filling up my 485 application through the immi website. I was surprised that I got to the payment page but they haven't asked for my documents yet. Is this something you can help me with?

To anybody who also had the same struggle as me (also tagging @agentKams ),
How did you guys answer questions 25, 27, 28, and 29 of form 80?
25: "What is your main reason for remaining in Australia?"
27: "Give details of your arrival in Australia"
28: "Are you applying for a temporary visa?"
29: "Do you have any proposed or booked travel for your departure from Australia?"
Also, yung questions 47 and 48 regarding personal contacts, di ko na pwede ilagay mga kapatid ko dito noh kasi nilagay ko na yung info nila sa siblings section? And do we have to put ALL other contacts sa Part T? Or okay lang ba yung sa 47 and 48 lang?

I already paid but this is what it says:
This applicant is not required to provide any evidence at this stage based on the information provided within the application. However, the department may request further information from this applicant at a later date.

I think I answered : "To wait for my 485 visa grant and continue working in my current employer"
Yes first arrival date in student visa.
Yes temporary visa
No din sagot ko dito. I think it's because you need to be onshore when your visa has been decided.
**personal contacts ko iyong close friend at close relative lang namin nilagay ko 3 lang sila in total. not necessarily put ALL. for me, sila lang iyong nakakaalam ng personal circumstance ko and makakapagvouch ng identity ko in case they need to call to confirm **

Yung 2nd and 3rd di rin applicable kasi ako lang yung nag.apply.
Yung 4th di applicable kasi single ako.
Yung 5th di rin applicable kasi na.submit na yung health assessment ko sa bupa

Graduate visa 485 is for those international students who have recently graduated in Australia(must have awarded at least one degree, diploma or trade qualification and were physically in Australia for at least 16 calendar months to complete the study

Skilled migrant visa needs you to meet a minimum score and must have a positive skills assessment( must meet a minimum no. of years experience to get one). At this time, it is unlikely you qualify. Saan ka ba gagraduate and what course? Maybe student visa is your stepping stone.

Hi all, I'm already here in Sydney and just wanted to know if anybody can confirm. May nagsabi sa akin na agent na kapag tinapos ko yung course na Telecommunications Network Engineer (CRICOS Code 099115D), mabibigyan na ako instantly ng positive Skills Assessment para sa Temp Grad visa. Meaning na no need na magpa-assess kay Engineers Australia at diretsyo apply para sa visa.
Tama po ba ito? May legislation or any online official document po ba na pwedeng iconfirm to?

nag-aral ako dito as Master of Electrical sa WSU. ung Uni namin nung first year ko nde pa fully accredited ng Engineer Australia(EA) dati kaya pag nag graduate ka need mo pa rin gumawa ng Career Development Report)CDR . Luckily, nung nag graduate na ako na fully accredited na siya "natandaan ko pumunta sa school namin ung EA at interview kami ng mga tga EA. Sabi ng professor namin ganito sabihin niyo na ganito mga tinuturo etc. para pag nag graduate kau full accredited na Uni naten ma assess kau agad ng EA. Naging fully accredited kami ng EA nagparegister lang ako sa EA at pinass required documents and na assess na kami without CDR report kasi fully accredited na ung Engineering Department namin sa Uni. Need po pa rin magpa assess kay EA pero no need na para sa CDR. Ma gragrant at ma gragrant ka ng Temp Grad Visa dahil nag-aral ka ng 2yrs course.

Wouldn't a completion letter from the university be sufficient to apply for 485 Visa?
P.S. I'm not Eng grad, but from Archi-related degree, finishing this sem. Planning to apply for 485 before my student visa expires.

Anyone who had an experience to apply for a temporary visa 485 pero Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Information Technology or anything under sa SOL yong natapos. I've researched online that only Bachelor or higher level (Post graduate stream) are not eligible for skills assessment pero yong (Graduate Work stream) or Diploma level need mag pa assess sa assessing authority. Let me know how it went sa time na nag process kayo. Thanks for sharing po ☺️

I haven't applied for 485 yet (as I'm still studying), but the DHA website already shows the step-by-step instructions.
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485
The basic things you need to have are:
These are the requirements for a single applicant. Addtional documents need to be submitted if you have dependents.
I really recommend you book the medical and English proficiency exams right away, as the earliest schedule can be months away. You only have 6 months to apply for the 485 visa (I'm not sure if this has changed due to COVID) from the time you received your completion letter (not your graduation ceremony or the day you receive your diploma). And you need to ensure that your student visa is still valid by the time you lodge your 485 visa application. Once you've lodged your next visa, you will automatically be issued a Bridging Visa A that comes into effect when your student visa expires.
