General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

axlrose · April 2015

@rexy29 on point 2, i have to agree with @Envy . madami ngmmigrate with their kids or their dependants and are able to land jobs, kaya don't worry! it'll boil down to your skills and experience

Hi, Guys!

Does any of you here experienced submitting a CDR to Engineers Australia where the no. of words for each career episode is more than 2000? I have already prepared mine and I am having difficulty targeting the desired no. of words most especially on the Personal Engineering Activity part. I always reach beyond 1000 words for this part alone. Do you also include in the counting the words in the heading, tables and figures label and paragraph numbers? Also, in the event that I do not reach the maximum no. of words (that is 2000) but no. of words in Personal Engineering Activity part is beyond 1000, will this still be acceptable? Will EA deduct points for career episodes with more than 2000 words? Kindly enlighten me as I am having trouble revising my career episodes just not to go beyond 2000 words.

As always, thank you very much!

hello. newbie here. sa processing ng visa, may interview ba? parang wala akong nakita eh.

Xiaomau82 · April 2015

Hi everyone! I am also nee here... I have several questions i hope you could answer them. I have read the process of applying for a subclass visa 189. I also have been assessed by a consulting agency to be eligible for the said visa if i got a 7-8 score in ielts. So my question are;
1. can i apply even if my relatives will not sponsor me or there will be additional points given to those with sponsorship?
2. I have 3 kids. Will this be a factor for me to land a job? A cousin of mine told me that zero tolerance dw ang au s mga may anak??
3. I am a secondary teacher, is it possible that i could get a teaching position also in au if i would be given a state license? Sang state ba maraming teaching positions available?
Thank u for your responses...

1. yes as long as you meet the passmark of 60 points no need for your relatives to sponsor u.
2. No, not a factor.
3. Yes, State registration is required but having the license doesn't guarantee u a job. it still depends on your capability.

No interview unless spousal visa or prospective marriage visa. Some skills assessment do call sometimes to verify information though.

sa dami ng kilala kong nag apply sa EA, wala nmn ako narinig na nadeduct sila ng points due to the number of words. parang ni hindi nga sila nagbilang. hhehehe.

u dont need to indicate the number of words in the headings. so far ilang pages ba CDR mo?

bytubytu · April 2015

@axlrose Does it matter po ba kung mataas ang ceiling ng occupation like for RNs? 15,+++ po kasi ng ceiling pero 2,+++ lang ang nag apply? Will it make it faster.

So kung 60 points po ako, madami po akong ka kumpetensiya, mas ok po ba maglodge immediately after ng invitation round para mauna ka sa next invitation or okay na maglodge anytime basta ready?
Ano pong documents sinend ng husband mo? Nag send rin po ba siya ng ITR, payslips? Need pa po ba ng bank statement for poof of funds?

axlrose · April 2015

@bytubytu I think this migration yr, ang occupation groups lng na affected are the Software and Application programmers and Accountants, kse malapit na ma-exhaust ung slots. For RNs, hindi naman, so I think standard processing time pa din... (although i'm not really knowledgeable on how occupation demand affects processing time hehe)

Yes, puwede k mgsubmit ng EOI anytime bsta lahat ng cnlaim mo na points are valid at the time of submission. As per the SkillSelect site, Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.. eg. If i submitted an EOI before an invitation round and I wasn't invited on that round, tapos nag-submit ka nmn after that rond, ung EOI ko will be ranked higher than ur EOI sa order of invitations.

Hindi kami ngprovide ng work experience documents kase ndi kami ngclaim ng points for that and wala din pinaassess ung husband ko sa ANMAC na work exp. Hindi rin kami ng provide ng proof of income kase wala nmn sa document checklist reqts. Although ongoing pa processing ng visa namin, so balitaan kita kng may hininging additional documents ung CO.

thanks for answering my questions! Pano ba nalalaman kung naabot na yung ceiling? Tama po ba yung gagawin k? First is to get the academic IELTS then let my credentials be assessed by AITSL then submit EOI via skill select?

yes tama po. Usually nagpopost sila sa immi website kung anong occupation ung nareach na ung ceiling or kun alin ung sobrang daming applicants, kasi they do pro-rata invitation. U can check http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/SkillSelect/SkillSelect.aspx for the occupation ceilings.

@Xiaomau82 thanks for answering my queries... isa pang question ko yung certified true copies ba ng documents ko need pa ipa red ribbon bago ipa assess??

No red ribbon is a waste of money that is only needed by these crocodiles in the gov't... CTC can be done by any lawyer if you are fulfilling requirement for immigration.

yun lang sa pagkakatanda ko hehe

rexy29 · April 2015

Check nio po un definition nila ng National ID baka po Passport yan or pwede un UMID

kevinlimus · April 2015

Hi po. Ask ko lang. I finished the EOI and submitted the documents required and medical. It has been 2.5 weeks na since i completed the requirements and may nakasulat na "assessment in progress" ung status. Is this normal? Hoping for your feedback..

peach17 · April 2015

hi @kevinlimus

ganyan din ang status ko ngayon. I think normal lang yan hehe

Xiaomau82 · April 2015

when u say 2.5 weeks when u submitted the requirements, r u referring sa visa lodgment mo and wala ka pang Case officer? if yes, then thats normal. on an average it takes about 10-12 weeks before a case officer is assigned. pero may mga cases na pag nakaupload na lahat ng documents including police and medical e direct visa grant na.

hi po! just want to ask if I can still apply for sub class 189 if I am already 40 yrs old, have 14 yrs work experience as external auditor, graduated as BS Accountancy but not CPA?

Many thanks for the info

if you can get 60 points and your occupation is listed in either SOL or CSOL , then yes.

start by searching for 'skillselect'

peach17 · April 2015

@anak3, pwedeng pwede pa po...
eto po sabi sa immi website

Age:

"You can receive up to 30 points based on the age you were on the day you were invited to apply.

You must have been younger than 50 years of age when you were invited to apply for this visa."
