    @groovez10 kapag nainvite at nagka visa ka sa old rule ka pa din mag aapply if ever na magbago sila ng guidelines for PR but i dont think mangyayari yun.

    @nickoryanfang first step is to take the english exam. common english exams are PTE and IELTS.

    kung sa ACS, pwede unahin ang assessment kasi di naman kailangan ng english exam result.

    you can check the timelines in our signatures to get the idea of the flow of visa application.

    Good luck!

    @nickoryanfang ang 489 family din pala low priority yun. Kung may matitirang invites sa 189 saka lang maiinvite 489, pero pag walang natira walang 489 invites.Last year pa ako may 489 family EOI pero di ako nagkaroon ng invite. 70 pts ako dun with sponsorship na. Ngayon 80 pts minimum and 10 lang iniinvite per month kaya di sya ganun ka viable na option e

    @nickoryanfang no need na may exp ka if you plan on studying a certain course. Pag lilipat ka kasi ng discipline, kailangan ma explain mo kung bakit kaya yun ang tricky part. College lang ako humanap lang ako ng murang course for the sake lang ng points e. Granted na ako nung december 2 pagkasubmit ko.

    @nickoryanfang kunwari IT ka tas mag aaral ka ng culinary, questionable yun. May work exp ka naman di ba so why not directly apply for PR? You need a positive assessment and an english test. Student visa does not guarantee a direct path to PR. Habok ko pts sa study e so mura lang tinake ko, around 6k aud a year.

    @nickoryanfang depende yung fee sa level ng aaralin, course saka school mismo. I suggest na magbasa basa muna kayo ng ibat ibang visa (189, 190, student) kasi yung sponsorship na sinasabi nyo is hindi assured

    Good point THREAD STARTER. On my case, the only visa type that is available is 489. Kaya no choice. Kaya lahat ng requirements like skills assessment, english test (which I took 4 times just to get the needed points), etc.. inayos ko lahat. I envy those professions na maraming open na States, unlike mine 2 states lang for 489 visa nga which means, there are certain requirements to meet para ka maka-apply for SS.

    I know my chance is slim compared to others, pero laban lang and who knows.
    If it's His will, un na un.

    *May 2016 -Heard one friend sharing stories about Australia
    -Had my research the ff.day about my job opportunity in Australia
    -Become aware about PTE, ANZSCO and VETASSESS
    *Sept.2016 - 1st attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 83/71/76/83
    *Dec.2016 - Submitted docs to VETASSESS for Skills Assessment
    *Feb.2017 - Positive result from VETASSESS
    (Only chance of EOI was in SA which require high points for a 489 visa)
    *Mar.2017 - 2nd attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 86/76/65/90 (unsuccessful to get superior)
    *Nov.2017- I turned 40, which means minus 10 pts. =(
    - Started to lose hope and forget my Aus dream for a while
    *July 2018 - NT, SA and Tasmania were open
    - I needed to get a superior score from PTE
    *Aug. 2018 - 3rd attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 57/69/84/56 (scores were awful)
    (Despite my scores, I am determined and wont stop til i get that superior)
    *Oct.2018 - 4th attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 79/90/83/86 (at last!)
    *Nov.2018 - EOI Northern Territory, Tasmania and SA
    *Aug.1, 2019 - Northern Territory ITA
    *Aug.7, 2019 - Official NT Skillselect ITA (Hired MA for visa lodging)
    *Aug.20, 2019 - Lodged Visa
    (Whatever the outcome is, life goes on & Im forever grateful to the Lord)
    *Nov.18, 2019 - 489 Visa direct grant

    Thank you Lord

    @FearFactory_17 Tama yan. Pareho tayo na 489 lang available in 2 states. Yung isang state kailangan may job offer and yung isa mataas required points. Pero go lang ng go. Nakuha ko rin yung visa ko recently after almost 2 years.
