    Hi for those who are taking subclass 489 visas make sure na talagang wala na kayong option to get a permanent visa (e.g. 190 or 189) otherwise kung may chance na makakuha kayo permanent resident thru extra points like IELTS or PTE take the chance kahit ilang ulit pa. I am a holder of 489 once, ngayon permanent resident na ko but I realized marami akong namiss na work opportunity since regional areas lang ang pwede sa akin where limited ang job openings (marami ka pa kalaban na mga ibang lahi). It took me almost 2 yrs and 4 months before I became permanent resident at tyaga lang talaga. No medicare, no centrelinks, etc.

    I'm not discouraging those who applied for 489 visa, I just wanted to share my experience having the said visa. I did not retake my IELTS (I got a band of 6), nanghinayang din ako sa exam kasi 10k pesos din yun tsaka tinamad na ko sabi ko pwede na yan may 489 visa naman. Pero naisip ko din sa huli, kung nagretake ako ng IELTS nun at pinilit kong makakuha ng kahit another 5pts or 10pts baka PR na yung nakuha kong visa nun.
    The cons:
    - extra cost of having a private health insurance (you can opt not to have a private insurance but its very risky since mahal ang gamutan dito sa AU.
    - job opportunities (its given na mas marami talagang trabaho sa big cities like Sydney, Brisbane, etc)
    - some companies hire people who are permanents and citizens only
    - you need to make an effort to have at least 36hrs/week of work for 1 year (although you can do it by having 2 jobs if talagang kulang pa yung oras)
    - nakakakaba mag apply ng 887 this days kasi yung iba kahit kumpleto requirements humihingi pa rin si CO ng additional requirements. (It will take 3-6months or even longer ang process, di ka pa rin pwede umalis sa regional areas while waiting for the visa)

    The pros:
    - andito ka na sa Australia! Make the most out of it. Pinoy ka kaya mo yan! :)

    Hi. I would appreaciate if anyone could shed some info on my case.

    I am currently working in regional Victoria for 3 months already as an RN. I am looking into applying for 489 since kulang ako sa points for 189 or 190. 50 points lang ako so i need the extra 10 sa regional.

    1. What is the current waiting time for EOI and processing time once it's lodged? I understand that it varies so just a rough idea.

    2. Ano po yung conditions ng 489? Like ilan years dapat ako mg work and stay sa regional? Permanent part time ako since October so im not sure if counted na yun or mg start ng count pgk grant ng 489.

    Thanks

    @kymme may nakuha na ba kayo visa? If may na issue na sa inyo na 489 then you have no choice but to fulfill 2 years regional then 1 yr work then apply for 887 visa (PR). If wala pa visa try nyo na agad yung 190. I don't think there's a way for a 489 to convert to 190.

    So if you have 489 visa minimum of around 2 yrs 4 months more or less before you become a permanent. I think that's the fastest way.

    Hehe ganyang ganyan din ako sa IELTS ko nadala ako, ang problema first take lang ako at di na sumubok ulit. Ang alam ko additional 5 pts pa kung yung partner mo ay may IELTS. It might help. Anyways kung nagmamadali na kayo pumunta dito australia kunin mo na 489 but if meron pang ways para madagdagan yung pts mo try mo lang muna. Na observe ko lang dito australia it makes a difference kung PR na visa mo :) medyo mabango na kagad sa employers like yung job na binabanggit mo. But syempre minsan kung may halo din swerte kahit 489 magandang trabaho rin nakukuha. You'll never know.

    @Aleli you can read further sa website nila http://www.aitsl.edu.au/assessment-for-migration/question-answers

    Q15 How do I demonstrate English language proficiency?
    All applicants must meet the English language proficiency criterion. The criterion is informed by the nationally consistent teaching registration requirements which represent the standard of English required for teaching in Australia. All applicants must provide evidence of English language proficiency by meeting one of the following options:

    (i) An Academic version of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Test Report Form (TRF) that shows:

    a score of at least 7.0 for both Reading and Writing; and
    a score of at least 8.0 for both Speaking and Listening.
    The IELTS test scores must appear on a single IELTS TRF and be the result of a test undertaken during the 24 month period prior to submitting an application.

    *you can use IELTS for the assessment sa AITSL, then for additional pts for DIBP use PTE, just my advice :)

    @MLBS kung 489 relative sponsored dapat nasa csol kasi the occupations listed in csol need sponsorship. SOL is independent wala na sponsor kailangan subclass 189 visa and u will have the freedom to choose san mo gusto tumira sa australia.
