Kapag relative sponsored mukhang kailangan nasa MLTSSL ang occupation mo. Kung wala dyan pero nasa STSSL, pwede ka naman mag-apply ng 190 visa. Mas maganda rin yun kasi PR na agad.

Ang next step ay aralin kung ano ang requirements para ma-assess yung skill mo. Kapag hindi ka nakakuha ng positive skills assessment, hindi ka makakapag lodge ng EOI.
In parallel, kailangan mo rin mag-English test. Ito yung IELTS o kaya PTE. Check mo rin sa assessing authority kung kailangan nila na may results ka na sa English test bago ka magpa-assess. Sa EA yata dapat may IELTS results bago magpa-assess.
Pag may positive assessment ka na and may English exam results na pasok sa cut-off, pwede ka na magsubmit ng EOI.
Hindi mo na kailangan ng sponsorship sa relatives mo para sa visa 189/visa 190. Mas maganda ang mga yun kasi direchong PR ka na.
Kung magpapasponsor ka for visa 489, I suggest i-check mo yung link sa Skillselect kung pwede ang pinsan magsponsor.
May thread din dito na step-by-step guide. Marami ka rin matututunan dun

Subukan mong i-Google yung ibang mga nakalistang postcodes. Mapapansin mong wala sa Sydney yung mga areas na yun.

kung alam niyo din san ko pwede i pa assess to AQF ung degree ko pls let me know.
Nag TRA din ako pero hindi daw sila nagasses ng education qualification trade lng inassess nila at skills then binigyan lang ako ng cert III.

Good Day Sir.
I have been reading the forum for a while now and I’m weighing my options on our application. My husband is the principal applicant. He is an Architect with more than 15 years of experience in this field. His sister is in Canberra with a PR status. Since he is already 41 years old, we lack points in 189 and 190. So I thought, applying for 489 would be our best option, right? He will be applying for Architectural Technician but it shows NEC (not elsewhere classified) in this list. What does NEC mean? How can it affect our application? What would be our other options? I hope to hear from you, sir. Thank you very much.

Last 2009 nag apply po ako for VE SubClass 176 Skilled Sponsored Migrant through a migration agency kaya lang po last 2015 nagkaroon ng Cap and Cease of Application and I was refunded the money for my visa application.
This year po I'm looking at lodging another application for Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) for the Invited pathway. Meron po akong cousin at uncle na matagal na pong citizen (sila rin yung nag sponsored po sa akin for the 176 visa)
Based po sa points calculator I got 75 points. I already took IELTS pero I'm thinking its expired na so I will need to take another one. Hopefully, I will get 7 band scores ulit.
My question po is regarding the VETASSESS, yun nominated ko pong occupation last time is Program or Project administrator and na assess po ako for that and I got a positive outcome. Pwede ko po bang gamitin ito once nag nominate ako ng bagong application for the "Organisation and Methods Analyst" which is listed now in the Migration (IMMI 17/072: Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities) Instrument 2017.
About lodging naman po the application, I understand I need to write first EOI via SkillSelect now. Is it advisable po ba to take IELTS and submit another assessment for the new occupation?
Any advise po and help will be appreciated.
Salamat po

Then may nabasa po ako about ACT closed na daw po for overseas applicants pero if you have close ties like family then you can still apply. Also, yun nominated po na job ko asa list sya pero when I check sa ACT closed na din po yun application. Ibig po bang sabihin hindi na ako pwede mag Apply ng visa?
Maraming salamat po ulit sa mga magrereply.
