If you:
have applied for a Visitor visa Go to Part J
have applied for a Business visa Go to Part K
have applied for a Migration visa Go to Part L

Ni-skip nyo lang po ba ito ? Or selected the 3rd option Migration visa? (for 189 applicants)
One more thing..
Ok lang po ba mag leave blank sa form 80/1221 or dpt may 'N/A' ?
Thanks.

"Does the applicant have any dependent family members not travelling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents?"
Tama ba na YES ang sagot ko kung currently ako lang ang mag aapply for migration but I have 2 dependent children?
natanong na din to ni @sethkgx , pero magkaiba kami ng sagot ni @mojacko kaya sana may sumagot na iba para malinawan kami. Thanks

Regarding naman sa dependents, mga anak mo ba ito? if yes, then oo.. ilalagay mo sila. If mga kapatid/magulang at sayo lang sila umaasa, then yes ilalagay mo rin sila.
Pero may nabasa ako dati na yung iba hindi na nila sinasali ang magulang/kapatid nila kahit dependent dahil hassle. Hihingan din kasi sila ng NBI clearance at medical. Saka hihingan ka pa ng proof na talagang sinusuportahan mo sila, i.e. mga bank statements na magpapakita na nag reremit ka ng pera sa kanila.

@rich88 thanks din. OO mga anak ko. Ang situation ko kasi kaya hindi ko muna sila sinama kasi wala pa kong sole custody so naisip ko instead maka affect sa application ko then i-apply ko na lang sila separately kapag ok na.
Re: medical, aiming din sana for DG kaya angpa medical na ko before lodging. So i-YES ko pala dapat. Thanks

Nomination application refused due to not meeting the general work experience requirement.
Applicants need to hav one out of the last three years skilled work experience. No work experience has been listed since February 2014, the applicant is 7 months short of meeting this requirement:
At least one year of skilled work experience in the past three years.
For further information, please refer to point 5 on the Immigration SA website link below:
www.migration.sa.gov.au/skilled-migrants/nomination-process/skilled-nomination-requirements
Should the applicant still seek state nomination then a completely new application is required, addressing the reason for refusal. There is no re-visit on this application.
Nomination application is further refused due to not meeting the 70 point requirement for the ICT occupation.
See the information regarding the 70 point requirement for ICT occupations on the Immigration SA website:
www.migration.sa.gov.au/upload/publications/Skilled-Migrants/Instructions-for-state-nomination-applications-for-ICT-occupations.pdf
Should the applicant still seek state nomination then a completely new application is required, addressing the reason for refusal. There is no re-visit on this application.
If the applicant is planning on re-applying for South Australian state nomination this program year, they may use their existing Expression of Interest (EOI) for future applications to Immigration SA. Applicants will need to ensure that the information in their EOI meets all Immigration SA nomination requirements – in particular, please refer to point 8: SkillSelect Expression of Interest
www.migration.sa.gov.au/skilled-migrants/nomination-process/skilled-nomination-requirements
Alternatively, if the applicant is not planning to re-apply for state nomination, they may wish to edit their Expression of Interest (EOI). Any applicant requiring migration advice, may wish to use the services of a registered Migration Agent to obtain information on possible alternative migration pathways. For a complete list of registered Migration Agents in Australia visit the Migration Agents Registration Authority website (MARA):

Question po sa Immi.. yung ginawa po kasi namin, from ITA email,click ung Apply Visa. then nagproceed sya sa Immi account para magcreate ng id. Tapos sa Immi page, niclick namin yung "New Application", cguro mga 10-15 pages ata ung to complete ung buong entry. kaso umabot na kami sa dulo wala pang medical referral. so nag browse ulit kami sa DIBP site. meron dun na pag gsto daw mag medical muna bago lodge ng visa, from ITA email click ung apply visa then proceed sa pagcreate ng immi account. Tapos "New Application" tapos may "Health" na link dun.. sguro nasa mga 4-5 pages lang ata ung sasagutan dun. ung po ba dapat una namin nagawa? or tamang dalawang entry sya...para kasing sa mga questions ng pang health same sa mga nasagutan namin sa unang entry. though nacut sya agad.. mas less ang details nito.or dapat delete namin unang entry, (yung umabot na sa last part ng page pero wala pa din referral na nagenerate kasi hindi na click ung "health"??)
"Does the applicant have any dependent family members not travelling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents?"
No po sinagot ko. though gsto ko sana pag nakasettle down kami if ever (ex. 2-3 yrs), ipamigrate na din ang mom/siblings ko. no muna for now po no? kasi di naman din makakasama. at saka may isa na ako dependent na kasama (defacto)
*Immi question:
Education history- Highest recognised qualification obtained? dito po ba, ung course dito sa pinas (BSCS) or ung equivalent ng ACS (AQF Diploma) ang ilalagay. sa dependent po ito part. at ganito din po ba sa main applicant which is initially naka BS ECE sya.
*Employment History -- sa Immi pa din po ito.
from start to current work po ito noh? regardless if kasama or hindi sa nacredit ng ACS??
--- paano din po link dito ung ACS result ng dependent. kasi sa de facto, naka link na sya nung nagcreate palang ng account sa Immi
* Yung English po pala, nag take po ung dependent ng PTE pero di maganda score. plan ko sana na di na po isama at palitan ng CEMI na lang..para safe. pag may ganito po kami nareceive na email sa PTE, napass po ba ito sa DIBP kahit na di naman po kami nag request na isubmit?? pwede po ba CEMI na lang? or may chance na malaman ng DIBP na nag take si dependent ng pte pero sagot nya "NO".
