@adelaide_boi
Pero di ba sabi naman nila iincrease pa nila ung volume ng iinvite nila?

Metaform · August 2012

Given the scores of the invited, forget about visa 189. I think you should all focus on acquiring state sponsorship.

wynx · August 2012

hello everyone,

i would like to ask for your advice. i'm thinking of having a back up plan. based dun sa EOI na sinubmit ko nung July 1, visa 189 ang pinili ko with 65 points in total. wala pa po ako invitation, so i was planning kung wala pa ako invitation sa coming round (Sept 1) ay dapat na ako kumuha ng State Sponsorship. based kasi sa trend ng mga invitees, most of them are all State Sponsored.

gusto ko lang po sana makuha ang opinyon nyo, kung antay ko n lang ba na ma invite ako for visa 189 or kuha ako ng State Sponsorship tapos update ko na lang ung EOI ko kapag nakakuha ako ng SS.

thank you very much.

@wynx Get a state sponsorship. Based on the points of invitees on the bulletin that they just posted, 65 points will not get you an invite anytime soon.

Good luck to us!

Metaform · August 2012

@wynx Apply for ss now. Unahan ang game ngayon because of the ceiling. My claimed score was decent enough but I knew may mataas pa sa akin out there (libu-libong pana na nasa IT) so I pushed for state sponsorship.

wynx · August 2012

thank you for your insights. @elle & @metaform

isa pa pong tanong, saan po ang advisable na mag pa SS particularly sa profession namin as accountant.

thanks much

If I may reply @wynx - as far as I know best bet would be the big financial hubs of Sydney and Melbourne hence apply for NSW and VIC... At least on these states (or capital cities), there will definitely be lotsa openings.

wynx · August 2012

thank you very much @psychoboy, actually im thinking of applying for SS, either sa South Australia or Victoria.

@wynx

Right!! Goodluck to you... Careful on SA SS - read more about it nalang as they are very seloso with regard to what you place in your EOI appliaction, sa pagka-intindi ko dapat Visa 190 and South Australia and ilagay mo sa application mo. Anything more than that will be a ground for rejection. Mejo mabilis sila (around 4wks or 1mo)

VIC is not seloso - kahit nga ata di mo ilagay ang EOI reference mo yet, pwede pa rin eh... (pls correct me if I am wrong on this...) - and problem sa VIC is the response time which is usually 12 wks or 3 months...

NSW - pwede, di rin sila seloso like SA but may fee na AUD300. And mabilis din sila (approximately 4wks or 1mo)

wynx · August 2012

@psychoboy : good point, kasi ang nilagay ko sa EOI ko ay visa 189. do you think kailangan ko na i update ngaun at baguhin ko cya ng visa 190 bago ako mag pursue ng application for SS?

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

@wynx I think so...

TasBurrfoot · August 2012

EOI is a big joke.

In July, only 2.7 % were selected from 8,261 applicants. In August, 100 applicants were only chosen from the pool, with 75 points the lowest. More and more applications are coming into the pool every minute, and are automatically ranked accordingly. No wonder if one day, the lowest to be chosen are those with having 80 pts.

.

You may take this as a good news:

· 900 invitations for Skilled Independents (subclass 189), comprising 450 on 1 September and 450 on 15 September; and
· 100 invitations for the Skilled Regional (Family) Sponsored (subclass 489), comprising 50 on 1 September and 50 on 15 September.

hello,

question lang po ulit.may mga nakita kasi ako sa expatforum.com regarding dito sa EOI na parang meron cla option about visa type na inapply nila. for example ung isa nakita ko, sabi nya ang EOI nya ay 60points for visa 189 and 65 points for visa 190. is it possible to submit 2 EOIs?

@wynx - hello it is me again - pwede ka kasi makaaply simultaneously sa 189 and 190

when you apply sa 190 - they will take it as plus 5 kaagad (for the SS bonus point)

Nothing is stopping you from making 2 EOI (using different emails) BUT what I don't know is whether there will be any negative repercussion on this moving forward...

wynx · August 2012

@psychoboy thats is what im worrying about. lalo pa at marami ka ilalagay dun n parehong information. like IELTS, skill assessment tapos ung mismong identification m. kaya nagtataka lang ako kung ano magiging effect ng pag susubmit ng more than one EOI.

mark_y · August 2012

Hi wynx and psychoboy...You don't need to submit separate EOI for visa 189 and 190...
When you fill-in EOI, there is an option there what type of visas you can apply..Like in my case, I selected 189, 190 and 457 under one EOI...You will see your points for each visa subclass after completing it...190 will give you additional 5 points

wynx · August 2012

@mark_y thank you so much. so i can edit my EOI anytime kahit wala p ako approved
SS. kasi im only planning to apply for SS after Sep 1. in case n wala p ako invitation. i filed kasi my EOI last july 1 for visa 189. til now im still waiting. kaya naisip ko to make a back up plan.

@wynx - 1 thing to consider (although I dunno what is the correct answer to this) - what will happen to your order of EOI (or your Visa Status date) if you change every once in a while. Will this edge out your visa status date?

As we all know, the earlier your visa status date, the more chances will you get your invitation...

Insights anyone?

mark_y · August 2012

@wynx By the way, I selected 186 visa, not 457 as I mentioned before.
Yes you can do edit your EOI, but not sure if the effective date of your EOI will be changed...
Ano pala occupation mo and how many points meron ka, required kase ang EOI before you submit SS application, need kase nila EOI reference number...I'm also thinking if I need to apply for SS, pero wait ko muna next rounds of invitation, maybe it's our turn na... :-h

wynx · September 2012

@mark_y bale 65 points for visa 189. un din inaalala ko, once u made changes s EOI m, baka magbago din ng date of submission nya.

inaantay k rin ang next round of invitayion. sana ay time n rin natin.

mark_y · September 2012

Just read expat forums, those with 70 points got their invitation for visa 189..
Sana pasok na ang 65 points sa next round para kasama na tayo...

@mark_y - bud is this for the 2nd round of invites?

I did some forecasting kanina during my free time - assuming na linear ang pattern ng mga applicant, 70 percent dapat pasok na for 2nd round and by 3rd round titirahin na ang may 65pts.

happy sunday!

wynx · September 2012

@mark_y same pala tau ng occupation. (Accountant-General) visa 189 k rin ba? at ilan ang points mo?

@psychoboy - sana nga magkatotoo ung prediction m pra next round ay makasama na rin ang mga 65 pointers.

so please i need your advice again, do you think i should pending my SS application after 2nd round of invitation this Sept. or i can start with Victoria SS application as they don't need the EOI as reference right away. thanks.

mark_y · September 2012

@wynx Wow, same pala tau. I have 65 points. Sa palagay ko, pasok na tayo sa 15 Sep invitation since cut-off points now is 70 points... Kaya wait ka na lang muna till next round.

TasBurrfoot · September 2012

@wynx and @mark_y - mabuhay kayo mga accountant!

I hope nga na makukuha na ang 65 sa next round...

I have a feeling though that 1000 per month may not be the maximum they will issue. End of September sana mas irarampa pa nila yung pag-invite, maybe to around 3000 per month?

We will never know but sana so that mabibigyan tayo dito ng chance...

@wynx - go ahead with your VIC application, it doesn't need any EOI reference. mabagal kasi ang VIC eh. this way, if papalarin ka sa VIC, you will get your invite by November!

wynx · September 2012

@mark_y ang galing naman. wala k b balak na mag apply ng SS? although im still have high hopes na sana nga ay masama na taung mga 65 pointers next round of invitation, dba dapat nagpaplano rin tau ng back up plan. specially, time is of the essence sa mga documents natin. may mga validity period lang. don't you think?

wynx · September 2012

@psychoboy thank you very much, cge umpisahan ko na ung SS application ko sa VIC. hehehe

mark_y · September 2012

@wynx Naisip ko rin mag apply before ng SS..Nagsend kase sa ken ng email ang Queensland government requesting for few requirements para ma process ang SS nomination ko, pero dami need nila and may proof of fund pa which is my main problem...

Naisip ko kase na mataas ang ceiling for accountants, for sure IT jobs ang first na ma-reach ang ceiling...So we have a big chance to be invited given that we have 65 points...but as you said if you are expecting your points to reduce due to age or validity of docs like IELTS and qualifications assessments, then SS is the best option...When I checked kase requirements nila, they all require proof of funds kaya di ko na sya na consider....Well, these are just my thoughts, what do you think?

wynx · September 2012

@mark_y with regards to proof of funds, according to @glaiza ( one of the forumer here) hindi naman na naghanap ng proof of fund kung state na pinag applyan nya ng SS. she just declared na kaya abot ang fund nya sa requirement then un n.

Also if you try to read VIC SS, naka indicate dun n hindi mo n kailangan p mag provide ng proof of fund upon application. ganun din sa SA SS.
