my mga questions/dillema lang po ako sana po matulungan nyo ko...
here goes. when i checked the reqts, under general skilled migration... dapat maka 65 points, tama ba? ang plan namin kasi mauuna si hubby for 1-2 years and then susunod kami ni daughter. si hubby kasi 2 yr course ng computer technology ang natapos. ang current work nya is encoder/courier sa transport and logistics (parang all around on site person) for about 3 yrs. ako naman, i finished BS ECE, and i work as an IT helpdesk analyst for roughly 5 yrs. feeling ko mas pasok ako na primary applicant.
sya sana ang mauuna kasi nothing to lose sya sa current work nya ngayon. if kailanganin nya ng funds pag nauna sya dun, makakapag padala ako sa kanya. if ako ang mauuna dun, at wala pa akong maging work right away, baka hndi kaya ng sweldo nya mag isa yung mga gastusin sa bahay plus mag sschool na yung daughter namin.
if ako ba ang mag aapply as primary.. kelangan pa din nya makapasa dun sa 65 points? also. if ako ang primary, pede ba sya ang mauna doon?
mejo hindi ko rin makita kung saan yung skills nya sa SOL at sa CSOL. yung sakin din IT helpdesk analyst.. hindi ko alam kung meron sa SOL or sa CSOL. under ba sya ng systems analyst?
tapos yung payment po ba ng application, right away pag nag apply ka? so pag nadeny ka, bye bye na sa application fee (150k)? or magbabayad lang po if nareach nyo na yung certain stage na sure na kayo na maaapprove?
any reasons po na madedeny ang visa? if hindi kami pasok sa 189 SI, pede kaya kami sa 489 Skilled regional? Eligible relative ba ang tito? He's from Blacktown. (cousin ng mom ko na ninong din namin sa kasal). Pero d ko makita yung blacktown sa designated area. Relative lang ba talaga pede magsponsor? di pede friend? Mas mababa po ba ang reqts for 489 Skilled regional visa?
mag aapply ka po ba muna bago mag exam sa IELTS? or IELTS muna?
pasensya na po madami tanong. sana po may makasagot. madaming salamat po. God Bless!

I suggest magpa-assess ka muna sa ACS, kase sila mag-aadvise kung ilang points ang makukuha mo for educational qualifications and work experience. Marami kseng factors ang icoconsider ng ACS when assessing your degree, like kung relevant ba yung degree and kung anong level (Level 1, Level 2 school, etc.) yung school mo. Sa work experience naman, dpat related sa nominated occupation ung work experience mo. Ngbbawas din sila ng # of years from the total years of experience based on your educ qualifications (eg. If AQF Bachelors degree, minus 2 years sa work experience). You can check the details sa ACS site, andun na rin yung mga details on IT job codes that you can nominate.

However, for my lodgement I used Feb 2014 (no day) which I am regretting right now because I was not being consistent.
I also need to know if I need to submit a correction form.
Let us ask the veterans for their insights @wizardofOz @lock_code2004 @TasBurrfoot @vhoythoy or anyone else out there who can share their experience
To the experienced ones, what did you enter in your lodgement in the field for the LATEST work experience you have?
a. Is it the current date of when you submitted the lodgement date?
b. The value you entered in the EOI?
c. The date you entered during your assesment?
Thank you very much for your insights in advance.
