What are the OPTIONS for nurses

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme multiple entry visa po for 1 year subclass 600 po. So wala po ako choice if student po ang required ng school yun din po yung susundin

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn its up to u kung ano gusto mo, student visa with 40 hours/fortnight rights or visitor visa with no work rights. both with multiple entry (provided multiple entry bigay ng immi officer). as ive said, not all BP schools qualify sa student visa for doing bridging program.

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme pero pag sa school like acn and etea na nag require po ng student visa for bridging, 3-5 mos lang po duration ng student visa? For example 12 weeks po ung bridging so 12 weeks lang po duration nya? Hindi po 1 year. Tama po ba?

cucci · March 2018

@paanfsurn Unless there has been changes, I did my BP with ACN June to Sept of last year and I only availed of Visitor 600 (Business Stream).

paanfsurn · March 2018

@cucci how long po kayo nag process from anmac skill assesment to PR? Did you stay in the phil while waiting for it to be approved? Ganon po ba lagi ang scenario na mag hihintay Ng matagal sa phil?

RheaMARN1171933 · March 2018

@paanfsurn I'm not quite sure what you meant with multiple visa. Immigration never issues multiple visa...this does not exist.

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn if matapos mn yung visa mo sa btidging program, u can apply for another student visa and do annother course while waiting for your rego, skills assessment and PR. (if u really wanted to stay in aus)

paanfsurn · March 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 multiple entry po. Sorry

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme pero po once po ba na nak lodge nako ng PR automatic na bibigyan ako ng bridging visa? Meaning makakapag work nako full time at that stage kahit di pa nagagrant ang PR? Paulit ulit haha I just wanted to make sure na na gagrasp ko yung use ng bridging visa and at what stage ito na bibigay.

cucci · March 2018

@paanfsurn You can check out details of each bridging visa here

penpendesarapin · March 2018

I need your advise guys. Kumuha ako ng PTE exam last month 65 above ang LRS pero sa W 62 lang. This month kumuha ako ulit 65 above na ang W ko, pero bagsak ko sa L 61 lang ang nakuha ko, pero the rest 65 above. Nabasa ko acceptable ang combined scores sa APHRA & ANMAC.

Ang tanong ko po ay, ang combined scores hindi acceptable pag nag apply po ako ng PR?

Salamat po sa sasagot.

Cassey · March 2018

@paanfsurn Don't forget na hindi ka makakapaglodge ng PR Visa without getting invited. With the Bridging Visa - it's from Ato E so depende yan sa prior visa na hawak mo. Hindi siya automatically na BVA. Once you lodge your PR Visa, it automatically comes with a Bridging Visa. Each BVs have their own conditions attached to it. Sometimes you have to wait bago siya magtake in effect. For example, you have a visa prior to that like TV hindi magtetake in effect yung Bridging Visa not unless maexpire yung TV na hawak mo. In saying that, kahit na allowed ka to work with the BridgingVisa, hindi ka makakapagwprk pa dahil nakatake in effect pa yung TV mo.

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn i stand corrected by @cassey di pala automatic na BVA. it can be from A to E. bridging visa will only take effect if expire na yung dating visa mo (tourist or student visa). kaya twg e bridging kasi ng bridge xa sa dalawang visa mo. but before u can lodge, dpat nainvite kana. yun yung pataasan ng points. ilan points mo?

paanfsurn · March 2018

@Cassey ah okey po. Gets ko na. Nakita ko din sa dept of home affairs website na nilink ni @cucci na iba iba ang bridging visa. Depende sa case mo if youre hilding a TV pero expired na before kapa mainvite at makalodge ng visa ang bridging visa for you is BVC but you cannot apply for BVB for this type of BV unlike BVA. Okey okey gets ko na talaga. Mas nalilinawan ako sa forum na ito kesa sa mga agencies.hehe

@kymme ang points ko is 65. Sayang nga po dapat 70 kaso ung writing ko 75 lang sa pte. Ano po kinalaman ng mataas na points sa pr? So ibig po ba nito sabihin kahit achieved mo po ang minimum score na 60 eh may possibility prin na di ito maaccept?

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn if 189 skilled independent ang plan mong i apply, pataasan ng points kasi konti lng invitations per round. i think ngayon nsa 300/round lang for all occupations. so yung matataas na points, sila yun nauna mainvite. at the moment, 70 pointers iniinvite. may friend ako 60 points lang submitted july 2017, wla pa din invitation.

another option is visa 190, state sponsorship. if yung occupation nsa nsa skill list ng target state mo and u have met the state’s minimum requirement, then u can apply for 190. di xa ksali sa invitation rounds. dpende na sa state kung kelan nila bet i invite ang applicant, dpende sa need nila. at the moment nsa average 12 weeks ang invite sa state on victoria. idk about other states. this will also give you extra 5 points. points system p din. but in return, u have to live and work at the state for at least 2 years. note that its nit the state ang mgbibigay sayo ng work. this is not employer-sponsored visa. ao ikw p rin mghahanap ng work

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme mas may chance po ba sa case ko ang 190? Hindi po ba pataasan din sa 190? Nasa option ko din po yung state sponsorship. Sa NSW po

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn oo may chance nmn lahat ng ng apply. not familiar ako sa requirement ng nsw. u can check it sa website nila

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme yun nga po nabasa ko na priority mabigyan ng state nomination ang highest ranking candidate. Hindi ko lang sure ano ang basis nila sa ranking maybe the points alone..

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn what made my application stronger for the state of vic is yung permanent job ko as RN. u have to prove kasi na ‘highly employable’ ka sa state. and i claimed 5 points for 1 yr Aus RN exp din. although konti lng points ko 60+5, un ung nka tulong sa papers ko

paanfsurn · March 2018

@kymme So basically naka kuha ka po employer sa una palang? At may edge un sa state. Yung iba kasi hindi nakakakuha ng employer na mag sponsor. May naisip nga po ako if iretake ko po ang pte para makuha ang 79 and up sa writing ko para superior ung points ko para maging 70 points na ko nyan. Db ok lang po yun combine naman po ang score ng pte basta taken within 6 mos? Accepted po ba combuned scores sa state nom?

kymme · March 2018

@paanfsurn its nit employer sponsored po. iba po yun. state sponsored po. gusto lng ng state n highly employable ka. although nit a requirement, for vic. idk about other tates.

Cassey · March 2018

@paanfsurn Medyo may katagalan ang 189 invites ngayon kasi from 3000, it’s down to 300 ang nabibigyan ng invitation. Kaya ang madalas na naiinvite yung may 70-75 points.
With the 190, nagclose ang Queesland for RNs until July of this year. Even the 457 Visa, mas matagal din ang grant ngayon.

paanfsurn · March 2018

@Cassey if ever po ba inaacept po sa 190 yung combined score sa pte na 2 sitting within 6mos?

What if nag retake po ako para makuha ang superior sa pte coz 79 above ang LRS ko except sa writing po na 75 lang. accepted po ba combibed score sa 190?

Cassey · March 2018

@paanfsurn I’m not sure, you have to check the English requirement for each of the individual state as it varies from state to state.

Invisible_Man · March 2018

sa AHPRA lang po ung 2 sittings @paanfsurn . Sa PR process, isa lang.

LovellaEllen · March 2018

Hello po.. this is a question regarding immigration requirements both 189 and 190. Is there a need to submit SSS info and contribution? if yes, paano po yun makuha, may online ba? how about Tax? for someone based 10 years overseas, ok na yung tax info from the country your based at? no need sa pinas? thanks ahead for clarifications

jammmy · March 2018

Hello po! Kakareceive ko lang po ng invite today. May tanong lang po ako before ako maglodge ng 189 visa. Currently po kasi waiting ako ng grant ko sa 457 visa. Last week lang po ako naglodge ng 457. tapos bigla naman po ako na-invite for 189 ngayon. Ano po best ko gawin?

Should I wait na ma-grant sa 457 bago ako mag lodge ng 189?
or
Mag lodge na po ako ng 189 ngayon kahit waiting pa ko sa 457 grant?

Thanks po!

cucci · March 2018

@LovellaEllen Afaik, pandagdag lang po ang SSS info and contributions as proof of paid work... di man po sya required. Same goes true with ITR. Of course, you have ITR if you are working in the Phils so if you're not, then no need.

Some OFWs contribute to SSS as OFW/Voluntary Members... you can do a screenshot your member data and list of contributions if you have access to MySSSOnline, and you can enrol if you do not have access yet, assuming you have recent contributions. Otherwise, you have to go to your nearest SSS Office and request to have those printed.

cucci · March 2018

@jammmy Wow!!! Congrats!!!

Processing times for 189 visa applications can take 9-12 months according to DHA website.

Based on your situation, you can either do the following:
1. Cancel your 457 application and lodge your 189. However, since 457 implies that you have an employer as sponsor which initiated the process you will have to discuss the situation with them because this would result in additional delay in commencing work with them.
2. I suppose that since you were able to lodge the 457, you have beaten the cut off period. Just the other day I was checking and 457 now indicates DISCONTINUED as per immi website. Last time, with all documents (both from employer and applicant) are in place 457 visa processing took about a little more than a month. Assuming, it will still be the same, you can wait for a month or two for the outcome of 457 application, commence working with your employer/sponsor and then lodge your 189. Anyway, you have 6 months grace period after invitation to lodge.

Cassey · March 2018

@jammmy Congrats! Are you currently in Au? What Visa are you holding? Before you withdraw or cancel any Visa application make sure that you have a valid visa that lets you stay lawlfully here in Au. Are you staying here on a Bridging Visa (from the 457 ) at the moment? If you will cancel the 457 , it automatically cancels the Bridging Visa that comes with it which will leave you unlawful IF you are staying here on that Bridging Visa.

Don’t do anything in haste. I don’t think telling your employer will help at this stage especially that it was just lodge a week ago. I think it’s best to tell them once you have submitted your PR application. Read your contract as well and see if you’re breaking any of the clauses.

Lastly, before you lodge your PR application, make sure that you have uploaded all the needed documents for a chance to a Direct Grant otherwise it will be a LONG wait if you missed to upload something.
