Help Please - What type of VISA

islaman

I am a single parent of a 6 month old baby girl. Her father is an Australian citizen. We are not together although we are in speaking terms. He did sign my daughter’s birth certificate too, acknowledging her as his child.

I understand that this entitles my daughter Citizenship by Descent which I will try to lodge next week.

If everything goes well and she gets her citizenship, can I also apply for PR or Citizenship through my daughter? I really, really want to work and settle down in Oz but I prefer not to ask help from my daughter’s father as he is in a relationship, plus the fact that I want to make it there on my own. I wish you can help me find out what type of visa I can apply for. I also do not have any relatives living in Australia who can sponsor a visa.

I would really appreciate any help you can give.

Salamat!

@islaman - hi.. try the visa wizard in DIAC's website... just answer the questions and it will give you relevant visa types suitable for your case..

if I do that, and answer based on your case...
the answer is NO, you cannot apply for PR through your daughters citizenship..
Parents visa requires sponsorship of someone 18 years old and above..
But even if your daughter turns 18 years, the waiting time for Parents visa is atleast 15 years..

Your other options are:
- migrant as skilled worker
- find an employer who can sponsor you

Thank you! @lock_code2004

So maybe I will just apply as skilled worker. But thing is, wala yung profession ko sa SOL. Ang hirap naman nito.

Haaay.

lock_code2004

anu po ang profession nyo if you don't mind?

student visa is another option..although medyo kailangn ng malaking pera..

@lock_code2004 I just checked and I qualify under 272313-Organizational Psychologist under the SOL. What do I do next?

Diba puwedeng iendorse ng tatay visa ninyo?

lock_code2004

@islaman - great.. marami pong occupations related to HR.. but atleast nakita nyo na yan...

to give you a general idea, eto po ang basic steps:
1) Skills Assessment - you need to check specific requirements ng assessing authority. I believe VETASSESS po kayo..
2) IELTS exam - atleast score of 7
3) Submission of Expression of interest (EOI) and/or State Sponsorship (if required)
4) Visa application/Medical Exam

but first, you need to pass the points test.. you need atleast 60pts..
calculate your estimate points, based on the criteria in this thread:

@LokiJr Anong klase pong endorsement ang kailangan? Kung letter lang siguro pwede, but I do not want to burden him na sasagutin nya ako if I come over, parang sponsorship. Sana po as much as possible, yung hindi ako aasa sa kanya when I get there. Thank you!

islaman

@lock_code2004 I scored 70 dun sa points test.

Mag pa-assess na po ba ako sa VETASSESS? Thank you talaga ha, I just want to have everything prepared before I lodge an application. And should I write an EOI?

malamang po kailangan nyo ng sponsorship/financial support/etc...
mas okay sana ito, dahil hindi na kaialngan ng maraming proof khit hindi kayo kasal, dahil meron na baby.. pero ang problema "PARTNER" visa po ang ibibigay sa inyo..

at may 2 kinds of partner visa (permanent or temporary), in the end kailangan nyong mag-sama ulit.. or kailangan makahanap ka ng ibang way para maging permanent kung hindi kayo mag-sasama..

okay... isa isa lang po.. you need to understand all the processes/requirements para hindi sayang and oras/pera nyo..

1. Skills Assessment (Vetassess) - please check relevant threads dito sa forum , use search function sa upper right.. or visit their website and check their requirements for migration skills assessment..
- certified true copy of all basic requirements (passport, picture, diploma/tor, cert of employments with job descriptions, other proof of employment, payslip, ITR)
- atleast 4 months po ang processing nito...
- fee approx 630aud

2. IELTS - while waiting for your assessment you can prepare/review/take the exam.
- exam result is 13 days after your exam
- fee approx 10k pesos

3. EOI - online submission po ito, walang kailangan isulat
- you just need to have your result from skill assessment (No.1) and IELTS (no.2)

4. Wait for visa invitation application (online)

yan po muna isipin nyo..
after that... you can go back to this forum.. read more.. and then ask questions if you have clarifications..

Ay may tanong pa pala ako. HAHA. What if ganito gawin ko:

Apply for a tourist visa. Look for a job there. Pag meron na, saka ako mag papalit ng visa, pero doon ko na gagawin. Possible kaya yun? May mga ganun bang cases dito?

lock_code2004

@islaman - CORRECTION po.. hindi pala VETASSESS and assessing authority for your occupation.. please double check sa SOL document ..

Organisational Psychologist 272313 - APS (assessing authority)

Akala ko kasi eto ang skill nyo:
Human Resource Adviser 223111 - VETASSESS
Recruitment Consultant 223112 - VETASSESS
Workplace Relations Adviser 223113 - VETASSESS
Training and Development Professional 223311 - VETASSESS

islaman

@lock_code2004 Thank you! Anyway pwede rin ako sa Training and Development Maybe mag pa- assess na ako agad and IELTS para umandar na ang buhay ko HAHA

Pero what if ganito gawin ko:

Apply for a tourist visa. Look for a job there. Pag meron na, saka ako mag papalit ng visa, pero doon ko na gagawin. Possible kaya yun? May mga ganun bang cases dito?

i cannot comment kung meron na dito ganyan..
meron po eh naka-hanap ng work/employer habang nasa pinas pa, then employer sponsored their visa..

pwede po kayo mag apply ng tourist visa..
just one thing: DIAC will somehow doubt your true reasons of going there as a tourist..
kasi kasama nyo ang anak ng citizen, so baka isipin nila eh hindi na kayo uuwi...
although pwede nyo ireason gusto ma meet ng father ang daughter.. okay this is fine..

finding a work while on tourist visa; not sure, but possible.. ang issue lang naman is, wag kayong mag work habang tourist visa..of course bawal talga..

1% po ang chance, the employer or employment agency will not talk to you coz your not allowed to work.

Puede nyo rin gawin pero dapat handa din kayo na tangapin kung wala kayong nakita. kasi po online din ang pag apply ng work wala po walk-in when it comes to office work. Goodluck

okay very important information:
- please check all the job description of these occupations before finally selecting which one to nominate.. google mo lang ANZCO code it will give you the job desciption..
- make sure that the ANSZCO code job desc and the job descriptions in your Cert of employment are align/related.. this will be the basis of the assessment.. kaya importante ito.
- This is from SOL Sched 1: Organisational Psychologist 272313 - meaning you can apply for visa 189 (independent, without state sponsorship)

- These are from CSOL Sched 2, meaning you require State Sponsorship (see step 3 i mentioned above togehter with EOI)
Human Resource Adviser 223111 - VETASSESS
Recruitment Consultant 223112 - VETASSESS
Workplace Relations Adviser 223113 - VETASSESS
Training and Development Professional 223311 - VETASSESS

State sponsorship, has a separate thread..pero summary
- also, it is very important to select occupation that are still available for State Sponsorship, you need to check each state's website..
- for example some of these will not be sponsored by NSW (sydney), but are very much in demand from SA(Adelaide)..

Talk to the father as well if he is open to the idea. Might save you the trouble of going through the visa application process hehe

Cue music.."Muling ibalik ang tamis ng pagibig..." :x

islaman

@lock_code2004 Wow that is very helpful! I will have to take a look at the State Sponsorship. Mas madali ba yun kesa independent? Also, same din ba ang process? May assessment din ba? Dami kong tanong. Mahirap mag research pag nasa office baka makita ni boss haha thank you!

@TotoyOZresident Thanks for that useful information!

@LokiJr Last resort ko nalang yun siguro, hindi kasi siya pinoy kaya mahirap paki usapan. Hehe. Thank you ha.

lock_code2004

Same lng process.. May extra step lng ung SS.. Un nga un after ng EOI, isusubmit mo lng din ung Eoi reference numbr mo sa napili mong state, and some application questions..pag na approved kan ng state, automatic visa invitation na un, apply kna then medical.

islaman

@lock_code2004 Mukhang madali pag binasa hahaha pero Im sure mahaba pa ito. Anyway salamat, siguro mag pa-assess na nga ako at mag IELTS and start from there. Okay lang naman siguro kahit nag wowork parin ako while on the application diba? And may idea ka kung gaano katagal ang entire process? Based sa profile mo, it took you almost one year. Yun na ba yung pinaka mabilis?

Hopefully makahanap o mahanap ka ulit ng magmamahal sayo ng labis. Mas priority ang state sponsorship subclass 190

Medyo ntgalan ako sa police clearance because I lived in 3 diff countries, plus waited ielts of partner..

So in your case, assessment 3-4mos, ielts, Eoi, SS 2-3mos, visa case officer allocation 1-2mos, pcc, medical assuming walang problem.. You can finish in 6-9mos....

@TotoyOZresident Nakakaloka ka. Haha pero hindi naman ako naghahanap. Salamat!
