@filipinacpa: wow talaga? in two weeks approve na. niweiz kakatuwa din talaga ang forum no kasi yung mga sumusunod sa tin, alam na ang mga steps na dapat gawin and tama nga dapat complete na lahat ng docs para wala ng balikan si CO.

Hi guys! I'm not sure if this question has been answered before but I'll ask anyway. Hope you don't mind.

In my EA assessment,should I go for the Standard assessment first before having my skilled employment assessed though Relevant Skilled Assessment? Fee is AUS$630.

Or am I supposed to tick the Relevant Skilled Employment so that they can evaluate my work experience too? Para sabay sabay na lahat. This will have additional payment of AUS$255, I think. Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance.

filipinacpa · January 2016

@bait0211 yup sis super express yung kanya..haha kulang ko na lang ay medical, nbi at police clearance. Naupload ko na si form80. Sana bago ako maallocatan ng co macomplete ko na siya lahat2 no..

@xergio ano po difference ng standard assessment and skilled assessment by your assessing body? as far as I know, assessment of your assessing body po ang important that could support your claims for education and work experience. kung may iba pa pong assessment, i'm not sure na po.. hopefully, our other members here could answer your query po..

xergio · January 2016

Hi @filipinacpa, thanks for replying. Yung engineers Australia po ang assessing body ko. Pero meron dun provision na Relevant Skilled Employment to claim points pag nag EOI na. Parang authorized ang Engineers Australia to give their opinion on your experience. Civil Engineer po ako.

If you will tick Relevant Skilled Employment, they will need all your certificate of employment for experience for 12 months or more. Tapos additional fee na AUS$255. May nabasa kasi ako na hintayin daw muna yung outcome before you can avail of the additional assessment for your experience or if you have PHD,etc. Ano po kaya mas OK na approach? Kindly advise po. Thanks

@xergio mas ok kung full skills assessment (qualification and experience) para wala kang doubt kung ilang points ang pwede mo iclaim sa educ at work. ok din iavail ang fast track para may result ka within 1 week time. you can check further sa thread about EA Assessment.

bait0211 · January 2016

@xergio: if Standard assessment - ang iaassess is yung course and experience mo is considered as bachelor's degree sa Oz. Additional yung Relevant Skilled Employment for assessment of how many years counted yung work experience mo. If you are going to claim for points for work experience then to be sure you might want to add this in your assessment. And if nagmamadali ka then go for the express with additional fee. Hope that can help.

Maaari na po bang kumuha ng PCC habang naghihintay sa SS approval and ITA for visa 190?

xergio · January 2016

@engineer20 Thanks a lot bro for the information. Very helpful and informative :-) Appreciate it.

xergio · January 2016

@bait0211 Thanks bro! Information was very useful :-) I'll consider your suggestion :-)

@pausatio
Yes, pwede na. Mas maganda nga na kumpletuhin na lahat ng documents prior to receiving the ITA para lodge agad ng visa.

QQ21 · January 2016

Hello! I was in this site mga 2009-10 LOL. Nakalimutan ko na user ID ko. Happy new year sa lahat!

pausatio · January 2016

@sunflower thank you po.

furano · January 2016

Required po ba yung proof of funds sa 189? If yes, bank cert Lang? In peso? Kailangan ng average deposit? (Like du sa Korean visa)

mgt21 · January 2016

@furano no need for proof of funds for 189.

iamlen26 · January 2016

Need po ba pag nag aaply ng skilled migration program related yung Bachelors degree nya sa working experience??

My husbang is IT graduate pero wala sya experience sa IT. He has 4 years experience in Cook (Pizza/Pasta) in Pizza Hut Philipines and 2 years as Retail Sales Associate in Qatar. Qualified kaya sya? Nag ask ako sa ibang agen qualified at ung iba naman daw hindi qualified.

Ako naman po Nursing graduate pero walang experience sa hospital and hindi registered nurse. May experience po ako as Document Controller cum Secretary sa Qatar po.

Need your help and advise po. Thanks!

@pausatio it took you how many weeks before NSW invited you to apply for SS? I'm currently on this stage right now. Thanks in advance.

pausatio · January 2016

@jedh_g i was invited in just 9 days.. Waiting now for approval, today in 5 weeks, less 2 weeks for dec holiday.

is your point 55+5? If you got 60 points without SS, i think you can also apply for visa 189 at the same time..
good luck to us.

jedh_g · January 2016

@pausatio thanks for replying promptly. Yes 55+5 under 190 thru NSW, Mechanical Engineer. Quite bothered as I do not have the luxury of extra points as I believe the selection is based on higher points means high chances of invite selection. Given my EOI was lodged last December 17, when could I then take on the chance I may be invited to apply and pay the 300 AUD thru my agent? Thanks in advance!

pausatio · January 2016

@jedh_g not sure how long you will wait, we have different skill and i applied without agent. You can still improve your points by taking PTE, a little easier than IELTS i heard and the result is very fast, i think 1 day.. You can get additional 10 or 20 pts which makes you qualified to 189 visa, a much better option.. And you can apply without agent naman, hehe..

furano · January 2016

@mgt21 Thanks!

jandm · January 2016

Question po..meron po ba nkaexperience na hindi na nagsubmit ng payslips and ITR sa skills assessment (ex. ACS) stage..COE lng pero positive assessment nman..tapos nagrequest pa rin yung CO assigned?

Just a random thought ksi di ko natago payslips and ITR ko..

Thanks!

Hello po. Tanong lang po. Baguhan lang pagpasencyahan na po nyu sana. Halimbawa po sa case po ng asawa ko, work experience niya Early Childhod teacher dito sa SG but yung education background nya hindi related sa early childhood pero mayron naman po syang foundations of education + practicum sa secondary level and board passer rin po cya sa secondary level sa pinas. Ngayon po hindi ba conflict yun kung ang inonominate nya na skill sa SOL ay Secondary School Teacher para lang sana umangkop sa assessment whereas ang experience nasa early childhood. Magkakaproblema ba kami kung sakali? Pls help us we highly need your adv and expertise. Salamat po.

jkk32w · January 2016

@jayCee ganito kc un..f mag nominate ka ng skill for migration purposes, one requirement is a positive skill assessment of the same skill you are nominating. If you are claiming points (in order to meet the minimum requirement and be invited to lodge a visa) for experience you need to ensure na yung experience is HIGHLY RELEVANT if not exact sa qualifications ng skill na pinapa assess mo. meaning for it to be positive for example u want to be assessed as an early childhood teacher so dpat ung experience mo early childhood teacher din..

f u search on this link https://www.anzscosearch.com/search/ (just type teacher sa keyword) u will see a lot of codes for teacher profession and i believe iba iba ang qualifications for each of those. jst check ano hinihingi nila..

@iamlen26 u cn check d above explanation din this might help u. in order to be invited to lodge a visa u need to meet the min 60 pts..and these points comes in diff combination nasa sa n u na papano mo bubuohin ang 60pts..u cn chek sample calculation here

http://www.mygration.com.au/points-calculator/

and before kau magpa assess ng skill chek nio muna if u can suffice the required docs sa pag final lodge ng visa kc isa lng ang skill assessment sa requirement. u cn check here d final requirements when u 'pay' na d visa fee and wait for final grant.

https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1

check nio muna which visa would u want to apply and may requirements nka state here accordingly.

@anne9 @skeed101 hope this helps u.
Goodluck!

jayCee · January 2016

@jkk32w hi po! Thank u so much for all the info. It's a big help for us starters in this journey. Hehe God bless to everyone!
