    @sweet_tooth Hi, would you have an idea if still same processing parin ba ang dentists nowadays? My wife (main applicant) wants to know if she can pursue practising as a dentist anywhere in Aus. We tried talking to an agent, but the agent suggested that we go as a Dental Technician tapos sa Tasmania pa ang nominated state. Ganun na ba talaga?

    Due to numerous response from friends and here in PinoyAU, they suggested na personally nlang daw ako magapply - without the use of agents.

    If anyone here recently applied for dentist work, please assist and advice po.

    Thank you in advance!

    hello! so far wlapo sa skilled occupation list ang dentist now..nasa consolidated list po sia meaning u cn apply for visa 190 or 489 thru state sponsorship and so far d states who cn sponsor in this profession are as attached.

    and yes dental technician is on skilled occ list where u cn apply as independent skilled migrant worker (u cn choose a state) to live and work compared to 190/489 na may 2yrs commitment ka sa state who sponsored u. u cn check d website https://www.anzscosearch.com (register ka lng) so u cn check more info sa skill or profession na aaplyan nio.

    d list of states who cn sponsor a "dentist" is also limited and each state has its own condition, South AU for example kelangan u have specific points to reach, whilst NSW state cn only nominate visa 489 (temp visa sia indi ka permanent res wen u enter)..and so on..i agree wd d rest of participants n ds forum na pde kau kau nlng mag apply most of us here mas natutu when we applied independently (wdout d help of a migration consultant) ..

    u cn check any other thread n ds forum and ask anyone if may random questions kapa after ur research ..mostly dito very helpful and willing to share info.

    Goodluck!

Do I need to certify/authenticate with the Dept. of Foreign Affairs the following documents ? (1) NSO Issued Birth Certificate, (2) Diploma (3) TOR (4) Affidavits of Employment, COE and Trainings/Seminars. Hoping for your kind response on this matter. Thank you very much for time and God Bless.

    @ysabelle Invitation rounds happen twice a month every 2 weeks. The more points you have you get to be in front of the queue. If you have 75+ points you can expect to get invited in a month or two.

    How many points do you have/expect in your EOI?

    @fruitys i only have 60/65 for 190/489
    i tried pte 2x but only got one low score so the equivqlent is only 7. i am considering on taking ielts.

    so 60 or 65 do not have any chance of invites? will apply in NT.

    What's your occupation? Occupations like accountants need 80+ points minimum. For the rest of the occupations 60/65 points usually a few months wait yan for 189. Ang benefit ng 190 is faster ang processing mo once invited compared to 189.

    @fruitys Marketing Specialist po is my Occupation. Kaya mahirap sya sa Sydney. Lilipat talaga ng State. 60 for 190 and 65 for 489 po. NT as open as of now.


    Can I please ask for formats of commitment statement to the NT or any state and how job qualifications that were advertised match experience and the letter how skills are in line with NT or sny State needs. Honestly, I am at a loss right now. I am overwhelmed of the docs that are needed plus the stress financially. Tapos baka di ko pa muna isama sa application kids ko kase 65kaud ang need.

    Thank you.

    Upon grant, bibigyan ka nila na Initial Entry Date (IED) which kailangan andun kana on or before that date. May mga calculation theory sa IED, some say 1 year from either police or medical clearance, or 6 months if meron ka medical findings, but decision ito ng Case Officer.

    Now if in case na mabigyan ka ng grant and 1 month or less nalang, sometimes bibigyan ka ng IED waiver, which means pwede ka lumagpas ng arrival mo from that IED. Meron din mga migrants suggesting that if hindi ka talaga maka meet sa IED, pwede ka mag request sa waiver na ito with valid reasons like medical/health, or your case na contracts, atbp.
    Here's one example sa request na ginawa ng isang migrant:
