    @queen15 i doubt your work experience is enough to get a positive skills assessment...inimplement na ng lahat ng assesing body to decide when ka naging skilled sa nominated occupation mo...meaning possible na not all your work experience is considered...may minimum work experience required ang assessing body and i think 6 mos is not enough...usually 2 years up

    @queen15 for you to claim additional points sa husband mo, dapat nasa SOL din ang skill nya and he should have a positive skills assessment

    Hello,

    I just want to ask about the Skilled Independent Visa. Mag aaral po kasi ako sa Australia on February for 2 years BSN kasi sabi mas mataas ang points kung ganun and may 2 years post graduate work visa ako after I graduate for processing ng residency visa.

    Ask ko lang is how long (months) ung processing ng visa until ma-approve? Kasi I will be leaving my daughter dito sa Philippines. So sana mabilis lang ang pag -approve nila ng PR. :)

    Thanks and hope to hear from you guys.

    @queen15 gain more experience sa PH to attain the minimum score of 60..your brother can soonsor you for a 489 visa pero the same ang process, you still need assessment at dapat nasa SOL ang skills mo...im not familiar with the other family stream visa...you can check at www.immi.gov.au

    @queen15 your first aim is to get a positive skills assessment to apply for a skilled migrant visa

    @angelmatiga di mo ba kaya ang 60 points to apply for a skilled migrant visa now? Kasi ang process na dadaanan mo later is the same...marami ako alam na student visa muna then may mga complications na di makaapply ng PR visa and forced to leave Au..once natapos ang course mo, you are required to leave australia, unless enrol ka uli...di natin alam baka during your application for a PR visa, wala na ang skill mo sa list...Check Temporary Graduate visa 485...yan ang pwede mo applyan when you finish your 2 years study..which is di pa PR visa

    @angelmatiga based on my assessment, kung ang goal mo is to become PR and student visa ang initial pathway mo, medyo may risk unless you have millions to spare

    @fgs thanks sa reply. Yes, my goal is to be PR but the problem is hindi pa ako pwede magpa assess since kelangan Registered Nurse sa Australia muna prior to ANMAC Assessment. So I have to do either bridging to do the BS-Nursing course for 1 or 2 years. But since mas mataas ang points if I do it 2years, so ayun. Kasi I dont have enough work experience dito sa Philippines. And also I will have the Temporary Graduate visa para kapag mag apply ako ng PR, nasa Australia padin ako and can look for a job. :)

    hello.. regarding sa vetassess assessment.. diba po nag require sila educational qualification + 1 year work experience related to the occupation to qualify dun sa nominated occupation mo.. let's say po i have 5 years actual working experience.. then ang nirecognise ni vetassess ay 4 years lang since they deducted 1 year, ano po dapat ang ilalagay sa skillselect? 4 years dn po ba?

    Thank you so much!
    yes 4 years po. pero key in mo pa din ung other work experience sa EOI. there will be a question whether related ba ung employment sa nominatio occupation, just answer NO.

    @angelmatiga

    Given na sabi mong you don't have enough work experience, may I ask kung nasa 25-32 yo bracket ka pa? If yes, I think nasa 55 points ka na. Perhaps take bridging course for 3 months, be an RN, apply for ANMAC... then apply for state sponsorship.

    Ang problem lang dito, mahihirapan kang makahanap ng RN position since sabi mo nga, wala ka halos experience.

    @queen15 points test is just one of the requirements of the skilled independent visa (subclass 189), the other is to obtain a suitable skills assessment, which in your case is with ANMAC. If ANMAC requires work experience for the skills assessment, the answer to your question will be no.

    @queen15 I'm afraid for nurses, it's a yes. But don't misjudge me, my brother is a nurse which strives hard to get his ass also in Australia and the only way he sees he can go there is to take student visa path then to PR. I'm not an expert for this but it might help also. Cheers! You can do this! :)

    Hello im here again..

    Hindi ba pwede mag pa full assessment sa ANMAC if walang work experience? Db point tested naman pag skilled independent ang route? Thanks po
    You can try but I tell you now, you are just wasting money and effort. The only Filipino-educated RNs who passed through full assessment are those who have experience in the US or UK. But that was then, it's ever changing, they may tighten up a bit more. Even UK nurses nowadays are now barred to apply for full assessment.

    Even if you gain 10 years in PH, still you can't, it still boils down to our education.

    Best, cheapest, shortest pathway? Bridging program.

    And cheapest is not really that cheap.
