    hi, you could try other occupations related. maybe accountant? auditor?
    but as Bank manager, since wala sa SOL sorry hindi pwede.

    I recommend you dont use an agent. alot of people here had a faster application process doing it themselves.

    cheers Goodluck :)

    Yup matuto na lang tayo sumunod sa PDOS requirement, isipin nyo na lang na part yan nung mga requirements sa Oz na need natin i-complete... unless again gusto nyong tuwing haharap kayo sa Phil Immigration eh kakaba-kaba kayo at nag-iisip ng explanation..

    Although during my seminar, may mga info na sinabi na parang mali (?), tumahimik na lang ako dahil ayoko namang mag-appear na smart-a*s doon sa seminar... tapos yung pang mga kasabay kong nagsseminar parang hindi naman interesado, parang mga nasa Cloud9 at hinihintay na lang matapos yung PDOS :P

    @mona_05302002 im also a newbie but i hope this site will help you. First you need to identify your skill according to the SOL/CSOL. Then go to your assessing body, also in the list... Diy is way much better... Goodluck!

    I looked on the statistics of their invitation rounds for the past 7 months and 60 pointers are still on top!! Siguro depende na rin sa occupations being nominated. But let's not be comfy about it and still find ways to increase our points to increase our chances of getting invited for the visa. Good luck!

    Hello everyone! I'm new here and I'm very excited to hear your thoughts! :) My girlfriend and I, like most people here, are planning on migrating to Australia. We are turning 25 next year so we'd like to start preparing and processing everything that we can as early as now. We are both ECE graduates (licensed) and have been employed for the last two years. She works for an oil and gas firm as a systems design engineer while I work for a semiconductor company as an equipment/process engineer.

    From what I've researched, the most suitable visa we can apply for is VISA 189. Do you guys think this is the best course for us considering our qualifications?

    We are planning to shift careers towards IT as we're not happy with the professional growth our current jobs give us. If we quit and change jobs before we get to three years of employment, are we still eligible for the overseas work experience points?

    I have relatives in Melbourne who are more than welcome to help us when we get there, is there another VISA class I/we can apply for considering this?

    Looking forward to your answers! TIA! :)

    @jiomariano
    kindly read my reply

    A few questions po, about dun sa claiming ng points for work experience, kailangan ba sa same company or industry ko makuya yung 3 yrs na work experience bago maging eligible sa points?
    -Same occupation or closely related one.

    Also sa assessment by EA, hindi ba too optimistic yung 15 points? Di ba sila maselan sa pag grant ng ganung score? :D
    Hindi naman, ok lang yan anyway i suggest na Professional engr ang iaaply mo kung di ka man uubra sa prof engr sasabihin naman nila kung ano occupation mo. please read http://pinoyau.info/discussion/114/engineers-australia-skills-assessment#latest

    Last is dun sa partner skills, kung di pa kami kinakasal eh pwede pa din ba ma earn yung points na yun? Or kailangan married para makuha yung 5 pts? Salamat!!
    proof of de facto relation kailangan pag hindi kasal, , hanapin mo na lang yung thread tungkol sa topic na to.
