August 2017 Visa 189/190/489

engineer20

@ZboyandAngel Cajulao medyo matagal na rin ang processing ng 457. bakit di na lang visa 189 ang ilodge mo? paano kung magexpire na ITA mo sa 189 at wala pang outcome ang 457?

ZboyandAngel Cajulao

@engineer20 Hello sir inadvise po kasi ako ni employer na mauna ilodge ang 457 bago ilodge ang 189. All docus are complete naman na ako for my 457 (even sa family) hinihintay lang namin ang police clearance from Singapore which will be released on the 15th of September. Then once malodge na ni employer ang 457 ko immediately the day after ilodge na namin ang 189. Kayo po what do you think? May iba po nagsasabi ilodge ko na daw ang 189 kaso baka hindi magustuhan ni employer if hindi ko sila sinunod. Your insights would be much appreciated.

@K9_q8 Pareho tayong nag-visa lodged nung February... February 8 ako hehe

alexsioson

@jacjacjac ang alam ko you can lodge your visa application even without medicals pa muna... in our case, we lodge our application first then after a week tsaka nagpa-medicals... anyway, let's wait others' experiences...

@rdi send me your number so I can add you to that grp

@ZboyandAngel Cajulao hi again.
I phoned Nationwide just now. They have directed me to go to St. Luke's in Ermita Manila for the additional evaluation.
I don't know what kind of test they will be asking, I hope my little girl would get through it without freaking out.

K9_q8

@alexsioson anong ANZSCO code mo?

engineer20

@ZboyandAngel Cajulao ok lang naman kung ilodge ang parehong visa application. kung mauna ang outcome ng 457 bago ang 189 ay ok lang wala kang dapat gawin. kung 189 naman ang mauna ang outcome bago ang 457 dapat iwithdraw ung 457. not sure kasi sa pwede mangyari kung maapprove ang 189 tapos ang 457.

@jacjacjac ask ko lang bakit skin test gnawa sa anak mo, ang alam ko kasi for below 2yo lng un. Daughter ko kasi 4yo din and blood test un gnawa s knya. Sa st lukes global kami. I think un sa ermita she just needs to be evaluated by a pedia pulmo doctor. Nag xray na cya dba? Nalaman nyo ba un result? Weird kasi na sputum test na agad nirerequire nila so baka may nkita cla sa xray. Praying na false positive lng kasi mahirap dn may sakit lalo at bata pa. Regarding visa lodge, i suggest lodge mo na kasi syang nman kung mag expire un ita. Ganun dn gnwa nmin kasi na defer dn medical ng daughter ko e. Goodluck and God bless!

engineer20

@maren1026 actually pag below 2 yr old na bata ay physical check lang ang gagawin at walang tests required. may option kung blood or skin test pero syempre mas mahal ang blood test to check for TB. @jacjacjac di ba kayo pinapili ng SLMC?

Hi everyone want ko lang po mg seek ng info, ni lodge yung EOI ko last August 16 for subclass 190 under 233914 engineering technologist in NSW, unfortunately i only reached 60 points including 5 points pa sa state nomination, I dont have score in English test since 6.5 lang score ko and considered as competent , but EA approved my 14 years of experienced sa SA ko, would there be a possibility to receive an ITA, or my points are not competitive at all..any suggestion po?

dorbsdee

down ba ImmiAccount?? di kasi ako mkalogin....

rvrecabar

@irenesky if 60 pts ka na with state nomination, mejo mahirap makapasok. Try taking PTE and aim for superior para makakuha ka pa ng +10 points. Not sure sa 190, pero sa 189 kasi 70 yung mostly nakakakuha ng invite. May mga 65pts na nainvite under IE and ME. I know some na 60pts(189) sila and 65pts (190) and naglodge I think last year pa pero wala pa ring invite. Ang ginagawa nila, they try to get superior sa PTE para tumaas ang points.

rvrecabar

@dorbsdee Parang may nabasa ako na magkakaroon sila ng activity. Pero hindi ko na maalala kung anung date. Baka ngayon yun.

dorbsdee

@rvrecabar okies thanks..... dapat pala updated sa system maintenance.... plan ko pa naman maglodge ng visa 3 days bago expiration...

dorbsdee

@rvrecabar nga pala anong stage ka na ng application?

rvrecabar

@dorbsdee nagpapasa na rin ng docs. Magfile na rin ako ng Visa anytime this week. Need ko na lang magpavisa picture. hehe Ikaw ba? magpapasa ka ba ng NBI at Police Clearance? O NBI clearance lang pwede na?

irenesky

@rvrecabar unfortunately walang PTE here in qatar need ko pang kumuha either in dubai or oman, is it true na mas easier daw po ang PTE compared to IELTS? I am beginning to worry, I guess need ko tlagang mag english test uli..any other way pa ba?

dorbsdee

@rvrecabar magpapamedical pa ako... yan nalang kulang namin.. nbi clearance meron na rin ako at police clearance from overseas, south korea & qatar... plan to lodge on 21/sept for 190/ Victoria pero hopeful parin sa 189 until 20/sept invite....

egroj1002

@irenesky once naman na ma-approve ng state yung nomination mo, ma-invite ka na din non. ako 55pts lng ako at nagpa-nominate ako sa SA for additional 5pts. on same day na na-approve nila nomination ko naka-receive na din ako ng ITA. it took only 2 days. then, nag-lodge ako ng visa application nung 27july and fortunately (and luckily) got my visa 190 grant after 14 days.

anyways, to have a better chance of getting approve sa state nomination, better to have a higher proficiency english test. check mo din sa state na balak mong magpa-nominate kung anong pts ang kelangan nila.

question po, nag-apply ka na ba ng state nomination?

about sa ielts vs. pte, magkaiba kc yung format ng exam nila. but in terms of scoring, parang mas mataas mag score ang pte. ganyan din ang ginawa ko. nag ielts ako, with 6.5 as my lowest score sa writing, para lang ma-assess ng EA. then, nag take ako ng pte and nakakuha agad ako ng equivalent na 7.5 sa lahat ng modules.

pahelp naman po, sana may makasagot sa tanong ko.
pede po ba akong maglodge ng visa kahit di ko pa nakukuha ung result ng police clearance, nbi and medical? gusto ko sanang magsubmit bago natapos ung contract stay ko sito sa sg. since dito ako nakabase.. pag umuwi ako ng pinas eh hindi nagkatugma ung current residency ko sa EOI and visa lodgement.

@engineer20 @maren1026 sa nationwide kami nag pamedicals. From the start ung skin test ang nakalagay sa checklist nya. Bumalik kami para dun sa Makati Med after 3 days, pina xray sya.
Nakalagay sa email ng MOC needs further evaluation. So it means yung xray nya is not enough to rule out TB. But the docs explained that false positive result because of BCG vax.

Hello @cheesyfiona yung sa my health declarations page pupunta ka lang sa webpage na yun if 1. Di ka pa naglodge ng visa application 2. Tingin mo maiinvite ka within a year.
Then that's the time na mag generate ka ng HAP ID mo para makapagpamedical ka in advanced kahit wala pang visa application.

On the other hand, Kung may invitation ka na,and naglodge ka na ng application di na applicable sayo ang 'my health declarations page' kasi sa dulong part ng Visa lodge process mo, mag generate ng HAP ID.

In my case, i went with the second option. I got invited on the 9th august, lodged my application, sa dulong part nun is generate hap id, so Same time may hap id na ko. By that time, tumawag ako to book an appointment for my actual medical test, which is na accomodate ako ng clinic aug 13 na kasi yun ang soonest available date. after 2 days may result na and yung clinic na mismo nagsubmit sa immigration. sana makatulong!

Hunter_08

@arishiel yes pwede ka na mag lodge ng visa maski hindi pa complete yung nbi medical mo or other reqs pero mas maliit chance na ma DG ka..

rvrecabar

@irenesky I cant compare since hindi pa ako nag ielts. Pero base sa mga nababasa ko and nasasabi sakin easier daw PTE since computer based sya. Tama si @egroj1002 . Pwede ka pa rin mainvite naman. But it boils down sa demand ng occupation mo sa kanila. NSW ka diba? Try mo din sa SA....You can try yung ginawa ni @egroj1002 sya ang isa sa mga pinakamabilis na nagrant recently na nakita ko dito.
