@traveltart

1. Yes, natapos ko yung course ko dito sa Au... By the way hindi ako accounting sa pinas pero 2 years lang ako nagaral ng bachelor of accounting dito kasi binigyan ako advanced standing sa previous course na natapos ko sa pinas (business related course).

2. Ang alam ko dapat nasa same occupation list kayo kung magclaim ng extra five points... So kung sa SOL yung ninominate ko na occupation, dapat din yata SOL yung nominated occupation nya, kung CSOL, both nominated occupation nyo galing CSOL--- pero hindi ako sure dito... Yung mga expert po, please advise...

3. Yes, after ko maglodge ng 189 nagrant yung bridging visa A namin... Although may few months pa din sa student visa namin nung time na nagapply kami ng 189.... Inuna ko kasi yung ielts right after ko matapos yung course since yun yung starting point ko para sa 189 application, after nun derederecho na...

@Ileene try nyo muna kung pwede state sponsorship... Mahirap din kasi kung "accountant" yung nominated occupation (kung ipursure nya yung masters), ang taas ng points na kailangan para mainvite (as of now)... Tapos close na din ang external auditor... Hindi din natin alam kung magstay sa SOL next year yun mga occupation na yun (pero sana magstay para sa mga magaapply in the future....).

Try lang ng try. Same situation din kame sa inyo dati pero mabait si lord kung matyatyaga ka. Explore nyo yung state sponsorship saka employer sponsor.

We also started from student visa, and now our PR visa has been granted. Patience lang and don't forget to pray. Pag kukuha ng course make sure na may pathway to PR para di sayang ang oras at effort.

Hi all i have a question. Is it possible to lodge a 189 visa after graduation without any work experience in australia/overseas? Granting that i will satisfy 60 points or more from my age, education, ielts, etc? I am assuming that by the time i graduate, i will be unemployed or working but not related to the occupation i am planning to nominate (project manager/builder). Once i lodge if i satisfy the points and assessment, do you think i have to be working at the time to the occupation on the sol or is it okay if i don't? Am really worried and confused as i assume it will take time for me to land a job on the selected skill if ever.

Hi @pc3, i was a student visa holder prior to getting my PR last year. Wala ako experience as accountant before although i previously worked in a bank overseas. I lodged my 189 visa application few months after i finished my course (agad agad sana ako maglodge kaso medyo nadelay dahil sa IELTS). I was working as a part time accounts officer while i was studying BUT this experience wasnt recognised by CPA Australia kasi ang irerecognise lang daw nila yung job experience after ko makuha yung qualification/after ko makagraduate. I had 65 points nung nagsubmit ako ng EOI... 60 points dahil sa age 30pts, ielts 10pts, education 20pts.. Nagkataon na qualified yung hubby ko kaya nagpa assess siya at nagkaron ako ng additional 5 points.. Having said that, kung hindi man siya qualified and nasa 60 points I dont think magkakaproblema kailangan ko lang maghintay kasi madami naqueue na 60 points sa nominated occupation ko... Kaya pinush ko talaga yung 65 points..

advice ko lang, check mo kung requirement ba ng mag a-assess sa nominated occupation mo ang may job experience? Example, yung sister ko balak sana magaral ng Psychology dito kasi yun ang gusto nya talaga pero she opted to study nursing kasi inorder to get a positive assessment for her PR visa application (kung mag psych course siya) kailangan ng atleast 4 years working experience dun sa field and wala siya nun... Also, make sure mababa yung probability na maalis sa SOL yung nominated occupation mo by the time na magraduate ka.. I have a friend naman who was on her 2nd year sa course nya tapos biglang naalis this year sa SOL yung nominated occupation..

Thanks for that. I am currently on my 2nd semester out of 4 on a masters degree. But I want to get an assessment from VETASSESS from my bachelores degree in ph and my work exp in ph na 3 yrs. Minimum 1 yr of paid employment is required from the nominated skill for the qualification to be assessed. Part of the evidence are payslips. I worked from a company for 2 yrs and I was concerned if I have to upload ALL payslips or can i just upload 3 of them? It will be a lot if i upload all 36 and some of them are also missing.

I am hoping IF this gets a positive assessment. I can go ahead and lodge 189.

I have a prc license which was stated coul get a positive assessment and my univertsity is enlisted as level 1.

If i get a positive assessment at least from my qualification I can get 15 pts. 30 pts for my age and planning to have 2 options on the english exam. If i get 20 pts much better but if i can only achieve 10 i would need additional 5 pts which i can get from a state nomination visa instead 190. Or have my partner skills assess but not too sure about this cause it might not be on the sol. Just on the csol.
