May chance naman siguro kahit 55+5 pero hindi rin talaga sure if ilang buwan ang aabutin. This year, wala pa akong nakikitang na-invite or nag lodge ng visa na 55+5 for 190 unless family sponsored/chain migration pathway.
Question lang bro.. nag tataka lang ako sa ACS result mo. AQF bachelor ang assessment sayo pero 8 years ang dineduct sa experience mo? Parang sobrang sakit naman ata boss..

Ang intindi ko kasi is yung assessment mo hanggng 2014 lang tapos lumipat ka ng company tama ba? Pag ganun kasi, kelangan ng proof na legit at related sa nominated occupation mo yung work experience mo from 2014 to present and the only way to proove that is to have it assessed by TRA. Need mo kumuha ng COE ulit from your new company kung san ka nagwork from 2014 till present date.
Hindi ka pwede mag claim ng work experience pag hindi assessed ng TRA. Mag ooverclaim ka tlaga nyan.

May naka-indicate po na date sa visa document up until when to make first entry. Sa case ko po, 1 year.

---------------------------------
Tama si @rj22. Dun sa grant notice meron pong tinatawag na "Must Make First Entry to Australia Before" date which is based on NBI Clearance application date or Medical Health Check clearance date whichever is earlier. Hindi ko alam kung lagi bang +1 year kasi parang may nabasa ako dati na +6 months lang. For my case since ayaw kong mangarag sa big move, ni timing ko na lang kailan ako nagpamedical at health check. Need din iconsider kung eventually mag apply ng Citizenship kasi pagkakaintindi ko required na total of 4 years ka nagstay sa Aus bago ka igrant.
Yun namang "Must Not Arrive After" ibig sabihin lang kung hanggang kailan valid yung visa. 5 years from the grant date ang validity nya.
