General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

se29m · March 2016

@pink afaik, accepted pa rin ang CEMI.

Megger · March 2016

Question lang po. If you have the PTE result, skill assessment result, and by computing you reach 60pts. Pwed na ba maglodge ng EOI? O may kailangan pang docs other than this? TIA for the reply..

se29m · March 2016

@Megger yes. You can lodge your eoi now..

pink · March 2016

@se29m thanks very much po!

pink · March 2016

another questions po pala..

1. Kailan nagrerequire ng Form 815 (Health Undertaking) ang CO?
2. Sa mga nakapag pass ng Form 1229 (Consent to grant an Australian visa
to a child under the age of 18 years) ano po ang attachment nyo aside from a valid ID ng non-migrating parent?

se29m · March 2016

@pink
1. Usually pag nag positive ang applicant or dependent sa mga medical tests, nagrerequire si co ng form 815
2. No idea hehehe.. Pero may checklist sa dibp ng docs to upload for dependent..

@pink, sa #2 yata either court order na sole custody mo ang anak mo or affidavit ng other parent consenting the visa grant.

stewart · March 2016

hello po mga sir/maam. im stewart, 24 years old, mechanical engineer. just want to ask something. saan po kinakailangan ang 60 points? sa EA po ba or sa EOI. kasi po im planning to take IELTS dis may or june. if ever i could get a band of 8 in all categories, pasok na po ako sa 60 points. pero kung band of 7 po, kulang po ako ng puntos. since i heard about PTE na mas madali daw po kumuha ng high points dun, yun po ung itetake ko for second time hoping for a higher score. pwede po ba yun? magtetake akong IELTS tapos kung kulang, trying my best again but for now, sa PTE naman. kasi po ang PTE eh di pa po recognized ng EA

se29m · March 2016

@stewart Hi, sa lodging ng eoi kailangan ang 60 points. for your second question, yes, you can do that. Ganun din ginawa ko.. why not wait for you to reach 25 para additional 5 points.

stewart · March 2016

@se29m kelangan po ba sir na 25 muna bago mag apply ng visa app? kasi im thinking na magstart akong magprocess maybe by october. mag 25 po ako sa january 2017. di po ba counted as 25 yun kung sakali?

se29m · March 2016

@stewart if your age bracket is 25-32, 30pts ang age. I think if 18-24, you can only get 25pta for age. Pwede naman magapply kahit 24 ka lang.. If your age is already 25 when you get your invite to apply for a visa, then automatically 30pts yun. So kung october ka magstart, assuming na makuha mo ang ea skills assessment results mo by january 2017, then makakuha ka ng 30 pts for your age..

stewart · March 2016

okay sir. thank you po. :-) first step ko po is to take IELTS dis may or june. if i could get band of 8 in all categories, di ko na po nid mag retake. pero if 7 or 6 lang, magreretake po ako pero sa PTE na. after getting higher score, and reached 60 points, hopefully, pede na po ako mag simula on october. am i heading in the right direction sir?

@mariem Hi, I am a newbie here. My husband is the principal applicant and we are now almost done collecting the requirements before we submit to VETASSESS. He is applying as a Facilities Manager. Questions lang:

1. Tama naman yung initial step namin to have assessment first with VETASSESS?
2. I am a doctor (General Practitioner) here in the Philippines, paano ba yung sinasabi nila na pwede din magpa-assess yung partner for additional 5 points? Medyo bloody kasi yung process ng assessment for doctors since examinations are required. Or pag nilagay sa form ng husband ko yung occupation ng wife, they will decide if may additional 5 points or wala?

Thank you very much!

tiongson_valerie · March 2016

@se29m Hi I am a newbie here. Questio lang po. Kelangan ba auna muna ang IELTS/PTE before VETASSESS or we can proceed first with VETASSESS then if positive outcome, tsaka kami magproeed sa IELTS/PTE? Thank you very much!

se29m · March 2016

@tiongson_valerie try to do it at the same time. Sa vetassess, you won't need ielts or pte naman.. So concurrently mo na sya gawin. Para pag may positive assessment ka na from vetassess, pwede ka na maglodge ng eoi, kasi tapos ka na din sa english

Lex55 · March 2016

@tiongson_valerie

hi!

1. Yes, tama ang first step is to have an assessment under VETASSESS

2. You have to know if which nominated occupation best suit uour qualifications then you need to submit an assessment application sa correct assessing body of your nominated occupation if you reall need to claim 5 points. But if confident naman kau that your hubby can get enou points (60) then pwede mo din na hindi i-consider na mag pa assess. And vetassess will not advise if qualified ka for 5points or not. They will only assess your hubby's qualifications.

Hope I was able to give you some helpful insights.

Cheers!

Hello! just started to research on how to apply for work in Australia. As i have read, there is a need for a skills assessment first before applying for a skilled independent visa. Tanong ko lang po if ano mga criteria if ever magpapa-assess ako for occupation na Actuary? I have a degree in mathematics and I am currently working as an actuarial analyst. Would that be sufficient to have a positive skills assessment? Thanks!

Actuary is assessed by VETASSESS.you may refer to this site for the skills assessment http://www.vetassess.com.au/skills-assessment-for-migration/general-occupations

tiongson_valerie · March 2016

@hanny_k Thank you very much!

If ever my husband gets a positive outcome sa VETASSESS, what will be the next step/s to do? thank you again!

tiongson_valerie · March 2016

@se29m thank you very much? any recommendation kung ano yung mas prefer na i-take for english proficency? And also yung price and techniques na makakuha ng mataas sa english poficiency test? thank you again!

Lex55 · March 2016

@tiongson_valerie

Considering tapos na kayo sa ielts or pte, next step is EOI (expression of interest)

mariem · March 2016

Sorry for late reply, super ngarag kami on our big move since we now only have 2 months and so much to do pa

Hi, I am a newbie here. My husband is the principal applicant and we are now almost done collecting the requirements before we submit to VETASSESS. He is applying as a Facilities Manager. Questions lang:

1. Tama naman yung initial step namin to have assessment first with VETASSESS?
A: Yes correct

2. I am a doctor (General Practitioner) here in the Philippines, paano ba yung sinasabi nila na pwede din magpa-assess yung partner for additional 5 points? Medyo bloody kasi yung process ng assessment for doctors since examinations are required.
A: If you meet naman the 60 points requirement, no need for your assessment however if you want to increase the chance na mainvite kaagad that will be beneficial na magpaassess ka na rin.

Or pag nilagay sa form ng husband ko yung occupation ng wife, they will decide if may additional 5 points or wala?
A: No vetassess will only assess yung applicatioin ni hubby.

Take PTE for better chance na maka 20 points kayo on english tests. Thanks

Hi sa lahat, pwede po ba humingi ng tips for my next step, PR visa application. I am a Civil Engineer pero after passing the licensure exam (December 2014), I have worked as a Building Administration Officer (January 2015 - April 2016).

Currently, temporary visa pa lang ang hawak ko under skilled migration visa subclass 476, we'll make the big move to NSW, Sydney (our first choice) this coming July 2016.

Pwede na po ba ko magpaassess agad sa Engineers Australia with my current score sa IELTS? Yung point system naman na +10 and + 20 for the visa is after mo pa makakuha ng positive assessment diba? ano po mas madali? PTE or IELTS?

Hope to get your insights para before kami makalipad makuha na namin mga documents dito sa Pinas. Pashare din ng CDR/CPD, thanks in advance. [email protected]

Congrats din sa mga recently eh nagrant na ang VISA. Good luck sa lahat na on-going pa ang application.

God Bless!

bettyboop · March 2016

Hi! I'm new here and just registered earlier...I kept reading sa mga posts about front loading documents. What does that mean?

And for the people who had their visa granted, did you submit ctc of your documents? the physical one? or pwedeng scanned copy ng original? nalalabuan kasi ako why yung copy ang scan and not the original

Hello po! Yes ipa-ctc po yong original tapos yong certified copies yon po ang i-scan mo to upload on your immiaccount if mag apply kayo online.

engineer20 · March 2016

@wannabecathy pag original docs na colored pwede na yun pero pag b&w kailangan mo ipa-ctc ang kopya para yun ang iupload mo.

wannabecathy · March 2016

@engineer20 thanks for the clarification

medyo naguluhan tlga ako, kasi original na nga, kelangan pa colored copy ang ipapa certify. hehehe.

ano pla ang frontloading? uploading lang ba yun?

engineer20 · March 2016

@wannabecathy frontloading ay uploading ng docs before CO allocation.

Hello to All,

We were invited to lodge for visa already (Yehey!) and we're processing our Medical Exam.

I have some questions below to prepare for lodging:
- Aside from the checklist here(https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-/Skilled-Nominated-visa-(subclass-190)-document-checklist), ano pa pong forms ung sinubmit nyo? Filled up, printed, CTCed, and scanned din po ba?
- sa ITR po, paano kapag 2employers within the year, ung ITR na sinumbit nyo po ba per employers or per year?

TIA sa answers!
