in Working and skilled visas
Hello! I just wanna seek some advices po and info's/experience sa mga katulad namin student visa na naging PR na.

Dumating po kaming sydney last 2012. Ang husband ko po ang nagaaral. Kasam po nya kami at ang baby namin. Diploma in Accounting po ang first course nya. Natapos po nya yung 2 years but unfortunately, hindi po sya nakakuha ng local experience. So hindi po kami naqualified sa 485 Graduate visa. Yung naging work po nya is Cook. After po ng accounting nya ngshift po sha ng Diploma in Hospitality. Matatapos npo yung course nya sa August 2016. Mg2years plng po syang cook sa pinapasukan nyang restaurAnt. Meron po ba kayong advice Ano po next na pwd gawin since magrerenew nnmn kami ng visa..

May chance po ba na pwd nkmi mkpagapply ng 189/190 visa? Ang cookery po nsa Sol pa yta. 27 npo ang asawa ko. Ang ielts nmn po nya is 7.5.

Salamat po sa pagbabasa at super thank you nrn sa mga magbibigay ng advice at infos :)

    @Ileene pwede naman 189. You can't apply for 190 as this requires state sponsorship which is very unlikely to appear in the Skilled Occupation Lists ng state/territory where you wish to seek nomination from.
    Yung chef occupation, hindi pwede sa takeaway or fastfood so just keep this in mind. Also, SOL list updates every 1st day of July. Kung may option na ma-fastrack yung studies nya mas maganda. May possibility kase na mawala yung Chef sa SOL. Someone I know finished August. July biglang nawala yung Pastry Cook so hindi na sya nakapag-apply ng PR.

    @blahblah thank you po sa reply. Yes po sa restaurant cook po sya. Yung po kasi sa NSW SOL 2015 meron pong Cook then meron din pong Chef. :) kaya po naisip nmin baka pwd dun. http://www.industry.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/66878/NSW-190-list.pdf


    Kung hindi pa po kami maqualified sa 189/190 ano po kaya ang pwd nmin maging visa next? Student visa po ba ulit?

    Thank you po :)

    @Ileene lucky you, sa QLD sobrang konti lang na nasa list. But yes, if it's in the list give it a try. A lot of people find 190 application quicker than 189. I could be wrong.
    Kung hindi kayo pwede sa 189/190 your other option is to get sponsorship from his employer. Last option nyo na ang student visa ulit. Masyado mahal ang fee. Good luck!

    Try looking for employer that will sponsor him for 457 or yung regional sponsorship..work keo mga 1-2yrs..so meron nang Aussie exp..pwede n mag PR..

    Or after 457 or RSMS sponsorhip mga 2yrs usually either independent k n mag apply PR or pwede yung employer sponsored PR visa..may iba pa pathway..pero it will take time pa..

    hi sis share din ako kasi similar tau ng experience namin ni mrs...bale nong nagstart si mrs dito kumuha siya ng advanced diploma in accounting ...yon na abutan kami ng changes na hindi na pwede mag apply ng PR ang diploma sa accountant na occupation so proceed siya ng masters in commerce ( professional accounting) which gave me unlimited work rights...now we are on our 485 visa and hopefully next year, she can submit her EOI through the assistance of a migration lawyer....if tingin nyo ma sponsor kau on the occupation as chef then that is luck on your side if not, you can have the option to proceed to masters in accounting...still the dependent can work unlimited hours...good luck

    If na-sponsor na yung workmate nya ng same employer then his employer can also sponsor him. He can get 457 visa then work for same company for another 2 yrs and apply for 186 ENS TRT (Employer Nomination Scheme Temporary Residence Transition Stream) visa. Wala ng assessment. Mabilis lang ang processing time, mga 4-6 months lang PR ka na. OR after nyo makakuha ng 457 you may apply for 186 ENS Direct Stream naman, this time kelangan ng assessment sa nominated occupation.

    @Ileene keep an eye on his workmate's application. The first one takes the longest. Kapag na-approve na yung sponsorship and nomination nya, mabilis na ung nomination sa second employee.

    @Ileene
    457 sponsorship is a company will hire you and apply you a 457 visa. Visa is valid from 2 to 4 years. Dependents ca n work with out limit. After 2 years working on a 457 visa, you can apply for the 186 PR visa.

    190 Visa is state sponsorship, you must meet the required points and receive a state invitation to lodge a visa.

    @isidro023 yes po. Sa visa 190 po 60points nmn po sya. age po nya 27-30points. Ielts nya proficient po-10points. Diploma po in Hospitality 10 points. In skilled exp. 5 points. 10 po if aabot sya 3yrs. Then po yung isang 5 points na hndi nmin clain yung Australian study requirement. Di po ksi nmin sure if yung other australian study requirement na yun must be under hospitality din or any bsta nkpagtpos sya ng any other courSe other than hospitality. So di na nmin sinali. Then if maiinvite po ng nsw. Additional 5points po which will make it 65 or 60. Pro try lng po nmin yan. Pra lang po may idea kami. Thank you po s reply :)

    that refers to 457 sponsorship..yong sa state sponsorship naman kung tingin mo naka 55 points ka na then you can try looking for a state na pwede ka makasubmit for state sponsorship like SA or VIC...and always, it is based on the qualifications that you have ....each state also has its own set of guidelines like kung ano ang ielts na needed atbp. good luck sis

    @Ileene I think what he means is employer 457..then If you have enough experience like 1yr apply independently for a PR visa or if your employer is wiiling after working for them for some time your employer can sponsor you for a employe sponsored resident visa.

    @Micaiah08 Thank you for sharing.
    Questions po:
    1. In your nominated occupation, you don't have any experience even in the Philippines, and yet you received a positive assessment from ICAA? Natapos mo lang yung course, tama?

    2. Yung 5 points na partners qualification, is it necessary na same occupation (in your case, external auditor) or pwedeng hindi, as long as nasa SOL/CSOL yung occupation nya?

    3. Nakapag Bridging Visa A ka kasi nakapaglodge ka ng 189 kahit di na nag 485 visa?
