Hello everyone. question po pede po ba magsubmit na ng EOI for visa 489 kahit di pa nagoopen yung code ko for state nomination? Malapit n po kasi mag July and yung code ko last year 1 day lang nagopen then closed agad. Im afraid maunahan ako if sa July 1 pako magsubmit ng EOI then state nom. Appreciate your response po

kisses1417 · June 2015

Pag gawa ko po ba ng skillselect,wait na lang ako sa july 1 kung may opening sa nominated occupation ko? In case open, since nakalodge naman na eoi ko, wala po ba ako gagawin ? Maghihintay lang ako na baka mainvite? Sa anzcosearch ko po makikita yung mga details tama po ba? Kakapasa ko lang ng ielts kanina and it will give me additional 10 points. Bale mag 70 points na po ako. Paano din ba mag gawa ng timeline dito? Thanks po. ☺️ Super salamat po sa mga tumulong sakin lalo ka na din @XiaoMau82

@MyOZdream You can submit anytime ng EOI, di ka naman maiinvite kung closed pa yong Skill mo...EOIs are valid for 2 years in the system so walang bearing kung open or close ang nominated skill mo...yong sa state sponsorship ang di ka makakaapply unless open yong nominated skill....once a state nomination is approved, automatic invite ka ng DIBP to lodge a visa application

MyOZdream · June 2015

@fgs yey! thanks ng madami po

kisses1417 · June 2015

@fgs: ano po yung once a state nomination is approved? Meaning magaapply na po ba ako diretly sa state without having my invitation po?

kisses1417 · June 2015

Im trying to apply for for visa 190

fgs · June 2015

@kisses1417 an approved state sponsorship(application directly to the state-EOI number needed) is needed prior to invitation to apply for visa by DIBP

fgs · June 2015

Ganito process ng WA state sponsorship which is almost the same with other states...im not 100% sure kung NSW ba yong nag imolement na sila ang titingin sa EOI pool kung sino invite nila for state sponsorship...you can check in states' websites kung ano specific req...all info naa www.immi.gov.au

The process for obtaining State nomination is as follows:

1. Submit an eligible expression of interest (EOI) in the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) SkillSelect database.

For your EOI to be eligible you must meet all the following criteria:
Score at least 60 for the DIBP points test. This includes the points for State nomination which are automatically included in your EOI:
o five points for the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190); and
o ten points for the Skilled Regional (provisional) visa
(subclass 489).
Have evidence of a skills assessment suitable for permanent migration in your nominated occupation.
Have an available nominated occupation on the Western Australian skilled migration occupation list schedule 1 or 2 (WASMOL).
Have demonstrated at least competent English language skills through an approved English test.* If you have a passport from the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America or Ireland you are not required to sit an English exam.
Be younger than 50 years of age.
Have at least one year of work experience within Australia or three years of work experience overseas within the last ten years in your nominated or closely related occupation.
Have selected ‘Western Australia’ or ‘any State or territory’ as your preferred State.

@kisses1417 Confirmed...Implemented starting Feb 2015..for NSW, pipili sila sa mga EOI sino invite nila for state sponsorship..unlike other states na direct ka apply for state sponsorship ..then the rest of the process are the same

kisses1417 · June 2015

I see. Thanks @fgs. So ang gagawin ko muna EOI talaga sa skillselect, yung skillselect ba sa immigration site yun ba yung DIBP? And also, kapag nagsubmit ng application sa state, may bayad na agad yun diba at mga show money etc yung maraming requirements unlike sa EOI na kapag nainvite ka, nun mo pa lang ipprepare lahat mga docs? Tama po ba? Im planning to apply sa ACT at SA e, dun kasi nag oopen yung occupation ko under CSOL. Hayyy tapos tama ba, the higher the points

kisses1417 · June 2015

Mas mataas chance na mainvite?

fgs · June 2015

@kisses1417 yes may application fee for state sponsorship...yong proof of funds, di naman hihingin yon..titignan lang siguro yong circumstances mo na talagang pwede ka magkaroon ng pera( stable employment etc etc)...konti lang requirements... Pag visa 190/489(state sponsored), di ka masasama don sa pataasan ng eoi score to be selected.Once approve state sponsorship mo, invited ka agad

kisses1417 · June 2015

Thank you po @fgs! Saan po ba iilalagay yung sa application na may husband ako or de facto? Currently kasi im engaged, e sa dec pa kasal namin. In case i got approved, ilalagay ko sya. After pa ba yun ng state nomination pag application na ng visa? Thanks po.

fgs · June 2015

@kisses1417 wala ba portion na marital status? di ko na maalaala

kisses1417 · June 2015

Double check ko po,

kisses1417 · June 2015

@fgs, need ko po ba irenew yung passport ko na? January 2016 pa naman expiration kaso sa application ko most likely mag eexpire po yung old passport ko, maka apekto kaya yun? Gusto ko sana kasi by january na ako mag renew kasi para sabay na na bago yung last name ko kasi kasal na ako nun.

fgs · June 2015

@kisses1417 dapat kasi 6 mos yata validity ng passport..pero you can continue with it, pwede mo naman bagohin later, passport and marital status

kisses1417 · June 2015

Super thank you @fgs! Ganun na lang gawin ko siguro!

iammaxwell1989 · August 2015

Got an invite today 3rd August!
Lodged: 6th July 2015

Xiaomau82 · August 2015

omeng22 · August 2015

Good morning PinoyAU!

Sana po may makatulong at makasagot sa aking katanungan

Here's the case, I'm currently waiting for the result of my assessment from Vetassess.
Medyo confident naman po ako sa positive result kasi Bachelor graduate naman po saka 11yrs experience with the same company until now and my work is same as my nominated occupation (Civil Engineering Draftsperson). Pasado na din po sa IELTS, although on process pa yung remarking ko para makakuha sana ng 7.0 sa writing hehehe. Base on that, self assessment ko and kung maging positive ang assessment ko, qualified na ako for state sponsorship

here's my self assessment points:

Age : 32 - 30pts
IELTS : 0pts (Hoping for positive remarking para makakuha ng 10pts)
Job Experience : 15pts
Education : 10pts (Hoping maging 15 kung same sa Bachelor level ng Australia)

Base on that my minimum points will be 55 plus the 5pts for the State Sponsorship para umabot sa minimum 60pts.

I need a recommendation and suggestion from you guys and gals

My wife is currently pregnant now, 4 months, can i still include her in my application when I lodge my EOI? or shall i wait for her to give birth before i lodge my EOI? Based on what i read on the site, there will be a delay on the medical given that my wife is pregnant, in case we are invited, will the DIAC give us enough time to provide the medicals? And there will be any issues when it comes to the State Sponsorship? Also how can we include our future baby on our application?

Any help regarding this matter will be very much appreciated. I know it's too early to ask about this but we don't want this to be a problem in the long run. Hope someone can enlighten us with our questions

Salamat!!!!

khangki · August 2015

@fgs tama po b n pag visa 190 ang ini-apply mo, d magiging factor ang lower points to have a longer waiting time for the invitation? we have lodge our EOI kc for visa 190, and we have only 60 pts. we're a bit worried na d mainvite or matagalan ng invite kc mauunang maiinvite ang mas mataas ng points.

fgs · August 2015

@khangki invitation will be based on approval of state sponsorship not on the eoi score( but of course make sure na minimum 60 points ka with state sponsorship because you need to prove this with DIBP once you submit your visa application). The state will approve your sponsorship following also their guidelines per occupation( planning levels etc.)

fgs · August 2015

@khangki nag apply ka na ba ng state sponsorship? Which state?

fgs · August 2015

@shogdgreat check with www.border.gov.au about scoring..if you get at least 60 points pwede ka magapply ng 189.. Check also what occupation you are in..make sure its in the skills occupations list..if wala check the consolidated skill occupations list...kung wala don sa SOL di ka pwede ng 189 even you meet 60points...if nasa CSOL you can apply for 190 visa

fgs · August 2015

@shogdgreat based on info you provided
Age(33)= 25 points
Educ(bachelors degree)=15
Work experience(8years relevant to skill)=15
Total=55

You can increase it by 10 points if english test is all 7 in all subtest or king medyo hirap kunin lahat ang 7( but should meet minimum english req for your occupation), you can apply for state sponsorship(visa 190) for addtl 5 points...
No points for relative and not necessary to get prc license
