Subclass 489 - Hard to find a job on your own field.

jacsme · March 2014

hello kababayan.!! sa mga subclass 489 holder po. May nakakuha na ba ng job sa own field nila. Nahihirapan kasi ako kumuha ng job sa IT now. May isa nagsabi ng comp sa akin dahil daw sa visa restriction. Pa share naman po nung mga experiences nung mga nakakuha n ng job at ung mga waiting pa din katulad ko. 6 months na ko nag aapply wala pa din eh. may mga nag interbyu sa akin pero pag may kalabang indian or mga PR at citizen wala na talo na. Please give your advice para makatulong po tayo sa iba pa mga subclass 489 lalo na ung mga nagbbalak na maglodge ng same visa.

Kailangan bang mag aral para ma qualify, mag volunteer, or kunin muna ung mga cleaning job habng hinihintay ang time para maka apply for PR...

. Thanks po!!!

Hello kailangan ba na makakuha ka ng job related sa nominated occupation para makakuha ng PR visa? Ganon ba ang condition?

ynnozki · March 2014

wow, was planning to take 489 as well, may ganun pala, mas priority ang mga 190?

hi guys. i just want to make inquiry regarding visa 489. i originally intended to apply for visa 190 but i was not able to get 7 on all IELTS components(LRW-7,S6.5). I believe i can apply for visa 489 instead. this visa is for relative sponsorship right? is it regardless of your occupation is listed in SOL?

thanks.

Hi, refer to this topic : http://pinoyau.info/discussion/991/skilled-nominated-or-sponsored-provisional-subclass-489-visa/p4

Refer page 4 meron explanation from @lock_code2004 to quote:

1) there are two types of visa 489
a) 489 Family/relative sponsorship - your nominated occupation should be in SOL Sched 1

b 489 Regional Sponsorship (by the State) -your nominated occupation should be in CSOL Sched 2 and of course in the State's SNOL (State Nomination Occupation List)

2) So kung ung nominated occupation mo ay nasa CSOL, hindi ka pwedeng magpa-SPONSOR sa RELATIVE.. see my explanation sa point 1.

Paki read nalang. Hope it helps. Goodluck po.

@Isyut thank you sa prompt reply. ill go through on the link you provided. hope this will enlighten all the confusions i have...

I suggest if kaya mo naman ulitin yung ielts mo to get 7 mas ok yun kc madami restrictions sa 489 eh. Dun ka lang dapat sa regional area na nagsponsor sayo.limited opportunities lang kc

@Isyut Hello! How has it been since you landed? Based on your signature you left last month. I'm asking because I plan to take the same path you took, I just wanted to hear firsthand from people who are actually there. Share mo naman experience in looking for a job, etc. with 489 visa.

Salamat!

hi @islaman I'm here in Adelaide for 2 weeks now and so far medyo tahimik ang job market, konti lang actually ang hiring in my field and pahirapan pa. Headline news yesterday that SA is on the highest unemployment rate. So, medyo its a struggle dito. But really hoping to get a job soon with lots of prayers and perseverance.

Hi, may tanong lang ako about QLD state sponsorship, 489 visa. Sa regional QLD na lang kasi open ang occupation ko and one of the requirements for 489 sponsorship is to secure a job offer from regional QLD. Mahirap ba talaga ung paghanap ng employer? Offshore kasi ako at ung occupation ay sa finance/business industry. Salamat.

hello po mga fellow 489 visa holders, may gusto lang po sana akong itananong with the hope that someone from this forum can enlighten me with our situation.

We went for our initial entry last June 21 and we temporarily stayed in my friend's house then later moved to Mandurah where we found our rented house. Me and my son stayed there 'til July 13 and came back here in Dubai to work while my husband and my daughter stayed in Australia which is part of our arrangement that one of us should stay and the other continue to work in Dubai. Since I am the one with a more stable job here in Dubai, although I am the primary applicant, he opted to stay back.

Prior to our entry, we have been applying for jobs via email and walk-in applications but to no avail we haven't found one for him. No calls, no interviews and all rejection letters. But we still continue to apply for his jobs as I myself had been sending applications on his behalf. We were actually starting to lose hope because slowly, our savings is starting to be drained since we are paying for the house rent, utility bills, food, etc.

But one day last week, one company called my husband for an interview. He already had attended 2 interviews and was offered a full time job and to undergo training for few days. If accepted, he can start on sunday this coming week. The catch is, the company is based in Perth.

Our dilemma now is, if he is successful to get the job, can he take the offer knowing that the company is in Perth which is outside the regional area coverage? I know that we need to stay in one of the regional area for at least 2 years and work at least 1 year. Question is, should it commence immediately on our first year of our initial stay? We are given 4 years visa validity and within that 4 years while we haven't applied for PR visa, are we required not to leave the regional area only until the approval of the PR visa?

The condition is quite broad, and we are thinking if my husband can temporarily work in Perth while he is still looking for work in the regional area so we can sustain our stay there. And we are planning that if the time comes that we need to apply for visa 887, we will just exclude that period from our application and include only the official 2 years live and 1 year work requirement. We are quite worried with this, so we really need your advise.

@jvframos.....dont want to sound negative pero po may na feature na sa a current affair ata yun mag-asawang british, parang ganyan dn ung case nila under cla ng 475 visa na Regional skilled visa kaso tumira cla sa suburbs na 2 miles lang ung layo duns a considered as "regional area". Hindi ko lang alam kung natuloy ung deportation. Yan po ung link, pero pinakamaganda cguro consult po kayo sa immigration kung ano ung pinakamagandang way na makalipat without violating ung visa conditions nyo. Cguro po kung ma justify nyo na tlagang nag try kayo sa regional area unfortunately tlagang mahirap like ung gnawa nung mga under sa state sponsorship kaso d nakahanap ng work sa state na nag sponsor sa kanila papayagan nman cguro po kyong makalipat.

dhey_almighty · August 2014

@jvframos ang harsh...

uhm, hirap ng situation niyo...but tama nga si @happyinmelbourne34, dapat follow the rules pa rin at may mga implications yan afterwards...katulad nung sa british...tsk

**but im thinking, since nasa mandurah kayo, meaning e ang address niyo na naka-state sa immigration is Mandurah...why not mag-rent na lang si hubby mo sa perth? then every weekends na lang siya uwi sa mandurah?! feasible kaya yan?! un nga lang at parang magastos yata... :-)

jvframos · August 2014

thanks sa response @rolly04 and @dhey_almighty.

I also got a response from my agent and was told that it was against the restrictions of our visa and this might jeopardize our future PR application. Worth checking though before we make any stupid mistake like dun sa couple sa link na binigay ni rolly04.

its better be careful than to be sorry later. so job hunt ulet and pray hard na sana magkawork na to sustain yung finances. musta na kayo, may mga work na kayo di ba? sana kami din magkaron na para sa mga bata :-)

Xiaomau82 · August 2014

Hello kailangan ba na makakuha ka ng job related sa nominated occupation para makakuha ng PR visa? Ganon ba ang condition?

Sa pagkakaalm ko pwede ka magwork kahit indi related sa nominated occupation mo. Kasi ang visa condition lang naman is must live and work in a regional/designated area. Tapos ung requirement namn to roll over to PR later e

• lived in a regional Australia/low population growth metropolitan area for at least two years if you were nominated by a state or territory government
• lived in a designated area of Australia for at least two years if you were sponsored by an eligible relative
• worked full time (usually at least 35 hours a week) in a specified regional area for at least a year while you held your eligible visa

dhey_almighty · August 2014

@jvframos my flight is tomorrow...up to now wala pa rin ako job prospect...kay! apir! pareho tayo! aha :-)

jvframos · August 2014

@dhey_almighty tiis tiis lang muna…. my husband is almost 2 months na din sa regional area ng WA. still searching pa din. God willing, work will be given to us in the God's time.

dhey_almighty · August 2014

@jvframos inshallah...hehe...galing din pala hubby mo sa KSA...KSA rin ako before, for almost 9 years din...:-)

jvframos · August 2014

@dhey_almighty, yup. 8 years sya dun... natagalan nga kami pagkuha ng police clearance nya. buti na lang nandun pa cousin nya.

inshallah.... magkakaron din tayo ng work :-)

dhey_almighty · August 2014

@jvframos yung saudi police clearance e kinuha ko na agad bago pa ko umalis sa saudi at mahirap daw makakuha pag outside the kingdom ka na...buti na lang may pinoyau at dito ko rin nalaman un :-)

OT: nakapaglink ka na sa medicare? ask ko lang about sa centrelink? how do i link it sa mygov? :-)

June16 · August 2014

We're on 475 visa. Two months kami walang nahanap na work. Family n kmi ngpunta dito at mahirap tlaga dahil naubusan kmi ng baon. May na meet pa nga kmi na 457 ang visa ubod ng yabang hehe ang lakas daw ng loob nmin n mgpunta dito ng walang job n dadatnan. Pero that was history dahil with the help of prayers and humility nalampasan nmin ang pagsubok. Now pareho n kmi may job ni hubby and I'll tell you hindi kyo mgsisisi, Australia is the best!

IslanderndCity · August 2014

@June16 congrats and thanks for sharing. Hindi biro ang two months jobless kayo both and family pa kayo dyan ah

dhey_almighty · August 2014

@June16 nice!

wag niyo na lang pansinin ung mga nagsasabi or nagcocomment na ganun...pinoy crab mentality talaga...hayaan niyo na lang..

i must say, ang dami ngang supladong mga kabayan dito...tsk

Kaya sabi ni @june16 napakayabang daw

jvframos · August 2014

@IslanderndCity hindi talaga biro yun.... nakakarelate naman ako kasi mag 1-1/2 months na din hubby ko sa mandurah pero wala pa din work. ubos na baon nya pero what to do, kelangan talaga magtiis at magdasal na in His time darating din and work.

IslanderndCity · August 2014

@jvframos madami na din ganito ang strategy dito, una muna si hubby. so si hubby mo pa lang nauna din doon? sa Mandurah?

jvframos · September 2014

@IslanderndCity, sabay sabay kami nag initial entry last June 21 then lumabas ulet kami ng bunso ko nung July 13. naiwan sila dun ng eldest ko.

and thank God, after 2 months of searching, my husband finally landed a job although di sya ganoon related pero ok na din kasi full time job na sya. 40 hours per week from Monday to Friday. then my daughter is also working as crew sa dominos pizza kasi she's now 17 y/o. tyaga tyaga lang talaga and lots of prayers...
