Skilled - Nominated or Sponsored (Provisional) (subclass 489) visa

engr_23 · February 2016

@fgs, tnx for the tips. I will need to re-sit PTE again then focus more on 190/189 option.

i have a question po. hindi ko po kasi makita sa mga thread. 489 visa ako sponsored ng southern inland. now, i have the obligation to relocate in southern inland within 90 days from visa grant, so the deadline would be May 2, 2016. Now, does that mean na before May 2, pwede ako halimbawa magstay sa Adelaide kasi andun yung relatives ko, while im looking for work na din online. parang holiday or get together po ang purpose ko sa adelaide and of course to familiarise myself sa environment. would that be a violation kung pasok naman sa 3 month rule ang pag move ko sa southern inland? thank you

@fgs Thank you. So does he need to apply same procedure as me, assessment to occupation body and then english assessment?

Thank you.

@fgs Thank you. So does he need to apply same procedure as me, assessment to occupation body and then english assessment?

Thank you.

No more assessment...just proof of your relationship, identity, etc...proof of functional english lang( ielts or certificate of english instruction from school is enough)...you can apply anytime and should be before applying for PR

Hello everyone! Sana may makapag advise. Sa mga 489 grantees like us, magkano po ba ang cost ng panganganak sa australia?

jeprox_0989 · February 2016

Hello fellow applicant, hope msagot ung question ko, I have almost 4 yrs of experience as a Civil engineer sa pinas problem is di pa ako license, my aunt wants me to stay in Australia (NSW), what visa should i take (mas mabilis),BTW may Aunt is already a Australian citizen. I still dont know which visa should I go, kasi pag student medyo malaki kailangan na money.

Hope to get advise from you fellow applicants,
Thanks in advance.

@archbunki sir ayaw mo itry magpasonsor sa ACT?

ann_joli · March 2016

@jeprox_0989 kung d po kayo licensed you can opt for other skills like draftsman etc. under sa profession natin. you can look sa https://www.anzscosearch.com/ whichever will match your skills. As for points, your aunt can give you points too.. 10 points if under 489 or since open ang NSW for our profession go for 190 para makuha mo benefits. As for mabilis na visa, If an employer would sponsor you that would be a lot faster.

jeprox_0989 · March 2016

@ann_joli salamat, ask ko ung employer ko from here kasi may Aussie office sila, hopefully may vacancy sila, if not i'll take the other way around, just need to pass the IELTS first.

thanks uli

ann_joli · March 2016

@jeprox_0989 God bless sayo! I heard PTE is easier.

jeprox_0989 · March 2016

@ann_joli same lang ba ng points un either PTE or IELTS?

crosshair17 · March 2016

Question po.. to apply for visa 489 kailangan po ba may skill assessment from assessing body (EA)?
Ang meron lang po kase ako qualification & education assessment. (Standard CDR).comparable/positive result. May nabasa po kase ako dito na nag self assessment na lang sa work experience na relevant sa nominated occupation. Ok lang po ba ito? Thanks.

ann_joli · March 2016

Kpag kinompare mo PTE can give you a higher score. check mo here http://pearsonpte.com/test-takers/results/

engineer20 · March 2016

@ann_joli @jeprox_0989 for EA assessment, di accepted ang PTE.

jabfree30 · March 2016

Question po sa mga dumaan na ng skills assessment. May interview po ba ng assessing body? Or they base their decision na dun sa mga pinasa na documents?

ann_joli · March 2016

@engineer20 kung mgunder po siya ng other related sol pwede po sya mgvetassess

engineer20 · March 2016

@ann_joli pwede naman. ako din ay CE pero ang 2 nominated occupation ko ay assessed by vetassess. mas mahihirapan kasi ako kung sa EA ako magpapa skills assessment.

ann_joli · March 2016

@engineer20 ako sir ayoko mg under EA kasi ayoko gumawa ng CDR

) kung may marami nmn tayong options why not go kung san mas madali

@crosshair17 Visa 489 is the same as 189 & 190 when it comes to requirements, difference is yung sponsor mo can give you 10pts. Check https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/489-

You might be eligible to apply for this visa if invited. When we sent your letter of invitation, you must also have:
been nominated by an Australian State or Territory government agency or sponsored by an eligible relative living in a designated area
nominated an occupation that is on the relevant skilled occupations list
a suitable skills assessment for that occupation
not yet turned 50 years of age
achieved the score specified in your letter of invitation based on the factors in the points test
at least competent English

Also, 489 is provisional only, good for 4years unlike sa 189&190 na PR agad yung status.

guenb · March 2016

@crosshair17 but please also do check out EA's website, https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/migration-skills-assessment/choose-correct-assessment-pathway , I think as long as yung CDR mu assessed by EA then that's your skills assessment na

crosshair17 · March 2016

@guenb thank you po sa response. Yes na assessed na po ni EA yun CDR ko.
Regarding sa obligation for 489 SS, dapat po ba si primary applicant ang may full time work sa regional area for at least one year before applying for visa 887? (This is after staying for 2 years) Paano po kung si dependent (spouse) ang magkaron ng full time work, consider din po ba yun in meeting the requirement? Thanks.

guenb · March 2016

@crosshair17 check this https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/887-
I think it would make sense na primary applicant tlaga yung mag satisfy ng conditions. But honestly I'm not sure, maybe it's possible by the time you apply for 887, you can be your spouse's dependent. Ito lang naman yung condition sa 887:

The requirements include having:
lived in a regional Australia/low population growth metropolitan area for at least two years if you were nominated by a state or territory government
lived in a designated area of Australia for at least two years if you were sponsored by an eligible relative
worked full time (usually at least 35 hours a week) in a specified regional area for at least a year while you held your eligible visa

"
You can include the following people in your visa application at the time of lodgement:

your partner (married or de facto)
your or your partner’s dependent children
other dependent relatives.

These family members must meet the requirements for including family members in your application. The application must include documentary evidence of their relationship to you.

They must hold one of the following visas:
Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489)
"
as per requirements, dependents should have visa 489, which actually you would also have as the primary applicant for 489.

Goodluck.

Secondary applicants that satisfy the req for 887 visa can apply as the main applicant..

@guenb thank you po. ☺ i submitted eoi for 489 nsw ss

crosshair17 · March 2016

@fgs thank you po ☺ ano po kaya ang chances/success rate for 60pts (IE) sa visa 489? At meron din po ba initial entry date? Thanks.

fgs · March 2016

@crosshair17 once your state sponsorship is approved, automatic kang iinvite to apply ng dept of immigration...489/190 visas are not subjected to the fortnighly selection process..as long as you meet the 60points and with approved state sponsorship, invite ka agad on the day your sponsorship is approved...initial entry is on or before the expiry of your medical or nbi clearance whichever comes first..your 4 years visa starts on the date that is was approved not on your initial entry..the earlier you arrive the better kasi maaga mo macomply ang 2 years residence and you have enough time to comply the 1 yr fulltime work for you to qualify to apply for 887 PR visa

crosshair17 · March 2016

@fgs thank you sa information makakatulong po ito. I need to prepare evidence documents para ready na just in case makareceive ng ITA.
