skilled regional (provisional) visa (subclass489)

vanessajoy · September 2016

Hello everyone

I need some help.
I am an industrial engineering graduate with 3 years cumulative work experience as Engineer in manufacturing companies here in the Philippines.
I already passed the IELTS this august 2016.
I have sister in Australia and already a Permanent Resident and she's willing to be my sponsor.
I am currently completing my application in Engineers Australia.
I would like to know what are the next steps after receiving the result of my assessment?
Hope somebody can help me.
Thank you very much and God bless.

@vanessajoy hi! First, you need to know your nominated occupation if pasok sa SOL or CSOL. You can check this from anzscosearch.

Second, you need to know if which state ang tumatanggap ng nominated occupation mo. (If ang occupation mo is pasok sa SOL pwede kna mag apply ng independent visa 189) then if mag proceed ka ng 489 under family sponsorship dapat yung sister mo is based sa state na tumatanggap ng occupation mo.

Marami ka pa need to know. Basa basa ka muna dito sa forum. God bless!

And your nominated occupation must be relatively related to your work experience.

Sa mga visa 489 holders, gusto ko lang mag-inquire kung may kelangan bang gawin bago at pagdating ng Oz? Nag-apply ba kayo ng private health insurance pagdating since wala naman tayo Medicare?

chelle · September 2016

@vanessajoy tama si starjhan, kung nasa SOL occupation mo at abot ka sa 60 points, maganda na 189 ang applyan mo para PR ka agad. Pero if short ka sa points, pwde family sponsored 489 ang applyan mo para plus 10 points agad. Pero kapag family sponsored 489, kelangan nasa SOL pa rin ung occupation mo, and dapat nakatira sa designated area ung sister mo. Kung di ako ngkakamali, sa 489 state sponsored ung depende sa State kung nsa occupation list nila ung occupation mo for example sa WA may tinatawag na WASMOL. Basta pag family sponsored, 1. Nasa SOL occupation mo 2. Nasa designated area ang sister mo.

Hello, I hope you could give me some advice para sa mga successful visa applicants for subclass 489-family sponsored. After ko magcreate ng immiaccount, hindi ko makita yung visa subclass 489-invited pathway under skilled migration for new application pero merong subsequent entrant at 489 extension. anyone who knows about this issue? thanks in advance.

vanessajoy · September 2016

@StarJhan Thank you very much.
oo nga dami pa kailangan malaman. pasok po sa SOL yung IE.naka based po ung ate ko sa Western Australia.mejo naguguluhan ako actually.Pero as per sa agent na nag initial assessment sa docs ko related yung experience ko sa nominated occupation na industrial engineering.
ung 489 kasi ni recommend ng agent n nk based sa Australia mejo mahal processing fee and professional fee nila, may mre refer ka po ba na agent na mejo mas mura pa sa 250,000.00?excluded pa ung skill assement fee dun sa 250k and one more thing as per the contract ng agent walang assurance na magiging successful yung application.

vanessajoy · September 2016

@chelle thank you very much po. WA po yung ate ko naka based.
comply naman po ako dun sa dalawang yon.pero parang mas mabilis yata ang processing pag 489 compare sa 189?

drkip · September 2016

@vanessajoy Hindi namn ata mas mabilis ang 489 sa 189, depende din sa case mo at sa CO. Ang advice ko sa iyo kung pasok sa 189 or 190 ang IE, yun na lng para may medicare ka na agad, at PR na agad. Hindi mo din need ng agent. Pede ikaw lng ang mag-apply, dapat lng basahin mo maigi at mag-ingat lng sa pag claim ng points for work experience.

vanessajoy · September 2016

@drkip Thanks.
Ano po ang CO?kaya nga, mukang kaya naman hassle nga lang.basa basa mode po ako dto para hindi na need ng agent.

@chelle hi! Need mo ng private insurance, for your own good. It's not required by the 489 visa, but if anything happens to you, masyadong mahal ang medical expenses kaysa sa monthly insurance. I would recommend na bago ka dumating dto magresearch at kumuha ka na ng insurance, effective namn yun usually sa date of arrival mo.

drkip · September 2016

@vanessajoy Case Officer- CO. Yes kayang kayang, basa basa ka lng. If you are unsure about work experience, mag underclaim ka na lng, kun aabot namn ang points mo sa desired visa subclass. Actually, dati nakakausap ako ng agent, british sya, ang style nya ay mag underclaim ng work experience or not claim at all.

drkip · September 2016

Kasi madalas sa work experience claim lng namn nagkakatalo. Ung age, ielts, education ay very much objective.

vanessajoy · September 2016

@drkip Thanks.cge underclaim na lang.

Lex55 · September 2016

@vanessajoy hi malalaman mo naman ang tamang points to claim sa work experience after your skills assessment. Yun ang first step mo ang mag pa assess sa Engineers Australia. Basahun mo website nila pag nabigyan ka ng positive result doon meron ng kasamang details if in which year ka mag start mag claim ng work experience. Pag nabigyan ka ng equivalent 3 years related work experience you can claim 5 points pag 5 years 10 points na. Basta basa ka lng madami ka malaman. Wag ka na mag agent.

vanessajoy · September 2016

@StarJhan thanks.after reading ng mga post dito sa forum parang mas prefer ko na yung skilled independent.1. no limit sa location kung san ko gusto mag work o kung san may available na work for me 2.nbasa ko din na most company sa Australia mas prefer ang PR compare sa 489.big help talaga.patience talaga magbasa basa dito para hindi na gumastos sa agent:)

vanessajoy · September 2016

@StarJhan
after ko makakita ng mga CDR dito bigla akong na pa overhaul ng ginawa kong career episode.simple lang kasi yung ginawa ko, pero try ko gawing medyo technical ng konti before ko ipasa sa EA. also medyo matagal talaga yong EA assesstment 16weeks and yung eoi medyo matagal tagal din.kaya dapat talaga as soon as possible ma finalize ko na ung requirement ng EA para maka usad.ty

Hello, ask ko lang if necessary ng magpamedical before lodging ng application or okay Lang Na hintayin ko yung advise from immigration? BTW I got invited for subclass 489 guys hope you could share me your thoughts.

nadolrac · September 2016

@nadolrac hi! Ako nag lodge muna visa application and then nag pa medical. Mabilis lang naman. Pero madami din dito na nag papa medical muna bago mag lodge. Kelan ka na invite to apply 489? Congrats!

@nadolrac visa debit (savings) ang ginamit namin pambayad ng visa application. Saan bansa ka based?

nadolrac · September 2016

@StarJhan sa Philippines po ako ngayon Sir. Halos yata lahat ng bank dito gamit ng ganyan eh limited Lang to100k. Katulad sa unionbank nag open ako dun di din pala kaya. May alam po ba kayong alternative dito sa pinas Sir?

nadolrac · September 2016

@StarJhan last Sept 14th sir. Thank you po. Gano po normally Katagal bago kayo nakareceive ng feedback from DIBP for medical at nasa magakano po kaya ang Gastos kasi kasama ko sa application ang partner ko po. Thanks po

Lex55 · September 2016

@nadolrac meron ka ba credit card? Yung iba kasi ang gagawin if meron silang credit card with 100k limit then mag advance payment sila ng 120k to reach the total na 220k available limit for use.

Then let say meron ka credit card with 100k limit mag advance payment ka ng amount na need mo idagdag then pag nagawa mo na yun kontakin mo bank mo about your intention to use your credit card to settle payment na let say 220k kasi ang alam ko need padin sila i-notify about your intention dahil minsan hindi pa din mag succeed payment mo kahit meron enough available limit kasi sa system nka limit lang sa 100k ang pwedeng gamitin. Dapat sasabihan mo sila pag nakapag advance payment ka na. Madami nga din dito sa forum na Ph based na naging concern yang pagbabayad ng visa dahil sa card limit. Hope maayos mo para makapag lodge na kayo. God bless!

nadolrac · September 2016

@StarJhan thank you so much sir! Salamat sa information kasi talagang problem ko ngayon is payment method. Ttry ko po yung advise niyo sir. God bless you too

@nadolrac batchmate pla tayo join ka sa thread ng September 2016 batch. And no need to address Sir or Mam magkakaibigan nmn tayo dito sa forum. And Sis po ako.

Once mag lodge ka na ng visa application pwede ka na mag pa medical anytime and as much as possible i-frontload mo na lahat ng docs mo upon visa lodging para mataas ang chance ng Direct Grant. Pinaka mabilis na pwede magkaron ng CO from DIBP is after 1 week from lodgement pero meron din tumatagal ng 1-2 months so iba iba din tlga depende sa case.

Ang medical sa pinas nsa 6k yata per applicant (adult)
