    good evening po sa lahat dito sa forum, hihingi po sana ko ng advice sa lahat.
    i'm a civil engineer planning to lodge visa 189.
    my girlfriend is a registered nurse in the philippines with 2 yrs clinic nurse exp without hosp experience.
    gusto ko po sana sya isama sa au as my de facto with partner visa.
    tpos i'm thinking na pakuhain sya ng bridging while in australia so she could also work there.
    ang question ko po is ano mas ok, kunin ko sya as defacto partner visa at isama sken sa au,
    or apply sya ng sarili with visa 189 or other types of visas applicable?

    di ko po kasi alam ang mga pwedeng maging circumstances. maraming salamat po sa sasagot!

    @zballesteros Pwede mo siyang ideclare sa 189 Visa and put her name in the application para kapag nagrant, both of you are already Permanent Residents. Just make sure that you have a lot of evidences supporting your relationship.

    @zballesteros Di ba you’re planning to lodge 189? You can add her to your 189 application as your de facto partner. She can study nursing later on when she gets the PR Visa. It’ll save you some money, effort and time. It’s gonna be easier for her as well because she won’t need to apply for another visa.

    @zballesteros Kung may experience siya, she can do a bridging course so that she can register here as a Nurse. Ang advantage lang ng bridging is that it’s shorter in duration but other than that pareho namang maglelead to registration.

    @zballesteros Depende sa Uni, Yung bridging is around $12-13k up, yung conversion ang pinakamurang narinig ko is around that amount din but some schools like Deakin ang fee is nasa $28k.

    @ishtar Do you have immunization records? If not, you’ll have to do serology test. Before doing so, you’ll have to ask your Uni whether they will accept immunization/serology test from the Philippines if you want to do it in Ph.

    The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

    @greenapple Hi, have you told your superiors that there is a template to follow which I suppose would make it much easier for them. What are you using it for? Is it to claim points for migration? Reference letter is actually vital for your application so try your best to get it.

    @greenapple They’re pretty strict with reference letter because they use it to know your competencies
    and at the same time use it as a basis in reference to the ANZSCO that you’re applying for.

    Taken from ANMAC website: “Please note: pay slips, tax certificates and service and human resource statements are not acceptable in lieu of a professional reference.”

    @giyaneelee Hi, If I may ask, why do you need to know which category your school falls into? To practice as a Nurse here in Au (and before you can apply for PR), you have to study and register here first. If you have a work experience for 3mos within the last 5 years, you can do a bridging course (shorter duration). Or there’s another option which is the conversion course.

    If you decide to do a bridging course, you’ll have to get a Letter Of Eligibility (LOE) from AHPRA before you can enroll. Skills assessment is for migration purposes and will only be needed after you get your registration here in Au.
