Student Visa to Visa 489

onehitwonder · April 2018

Hi, tanong ko lang if meron dito may experience kung gaano katagal ang processing from student visa to visa 489?

Thank you in advance.

Au_Vic · April 2018

which state did you apply? have you been invited by the state and already lodged your visa and waiting for a decision?

onehitwonder · May 2018

@Au_Vic hi, wala pang SS. Option ko kasi student visa and was wondering if gaano katagal maghintay from student visa to 489 if ever matuloy ako sa Tas.

It depends on how fast you do your application..there is no connection being on a student visa to 489 visa kasi di naman pathway yong student to 489. if you are on a student visa and apply for a 489 visa, balik ka sa square 1. Why not apply for 489 direct from Ph. In that case di ka pressured sa show money..

@fgs as of now NT and Tas nlang ang open to sponsor for visa 489 for my occupation, marketing specialist.

May mga nakausap ako sa ibang thread na 8 months na since nagpasa sa NT and until now wala pa assigned CO. Sabi ng agent ko sobra mapili daw ang NT.

Sa Tas naman gusto namin mafullfil lang yung yr study and 1 yr stay requirement ng state para makaapply ng 489.

Kung di ka naman nagmamadali at wala pa sa point of losing points due to age, dont fall into trap na student muna then apply for skilled migration later. Its a very expensive and long pathway and you never know by the time na qualified ka na, wala na yong occupation mo sa list. Most agents will point you to the fastest pathway para tapos na case mo with them. Unless talagang pag aaral ang target mo, last resort na lang talaga ang ganyang pathway kung talagang wala ng ither way.

onehitwonder · May 2018

Nagmamadali na kami kasi ma-minus 5 points na ako sa age and hindi na ako nagttrabaho since umuwi ako pinas from sg. More than 1 yr na ako no work.

Yes I agree na expensive path yung student visa pero since 1 yr course lang ang requirement ng Tas to be eligible for 489 might as well take chances kaysq naghihintay dito sa pinas.

Yung agent ko wala narin ginagawa after ako mawala sa list ng SA yung occupation ko. And hindi rin sya optimistic sa NT.

chococrinkle · May 2018

@onehitwonder Is your occupation found on the list of TAS? If yes, you can apply directly thru 489 as they accept applicants without job offer.

onehitwonder · May 2018

Hello @chococrinkle wala sa TSOL yung Marketing Specialist e.

fgs · May 2018

@onehitwonder Remember dadaan ka pa rin sa points system when you apply later for 489

onehitwonder · May 2018

@fgs currently may 60 pts ako. Then after this year deduct ng 5 pts sa age.

But I will gain points in study in regional Australia, kasi Im planning to take 1 yr diploma course. And eligible to apply na for 489 kasi nagstudy and live in Tas na ako for 1 yr.

chococrinkle · May 2018

@onehitwonder Ok I see. You may consider 489 via SA. Try to take pte and aim for superior for additional points. For 489 its plus 10 points for state sponsorship. Baka ma reach mo na 80 points. Abangan mo by july 2018 baka mag reset si SA to 80. Yan din ang pathway ko kasi wala din ang occupation ko in most states, but found in SA’s supplementary list. Hipe it helps. :-)

agentKams · May 2018

@onehitwonder 1 yr diploma does not satisfy the australian study requirement for 5 points. regional study requires you to have at least finish the qualification for minimum 2 years to give 5 points too. review where you get points and work from there.

onehitwonder · May 2018

@chococrinkle hindi ko pa inisip magretake kasi as of Feb 2018 wala naman sa SA SOL yung occupation. Maybe if hindi matuloy student pathway ko, then later this year magretake ako PTE for superior. Thank you sa input.

@agentKams i am aiming for visa 489. As of the moment wala naman requirement na “satisfy the australian study requirement.” https://www.migration.tas.gov.au/skilled_migrants/skilled_regional

Tama po ba ako?

agentKams · May 2018

@onehitwonder if you use the interactive calculator you can see it there. points based din kasi ang visa 489.

hopefully all will be better by July 2018. All the best!

batman · May 2018

@onehitwonder try mo NT, i just got my 489 invitation from them. True na very selective sila sa application selection. Pero i was able to pass the selection process. Kaya mo din yun. Free nmn apply ka nila. Try mo din.

onehitwonder · May 2018

@agentKams oo nga no. Nakakalito naman. According din kasi sa Tas website 1 year education lang.

Category 1 – Tasmanian graduate

To be considered for this category, you must meet the following criteria:

completed and graduated from a CRICOS registered tertiary institution in Tasmania. The course undertaken:
must be either a degree (a bachelor or any higher degree), a diploma, an advanced diploma, or a trade qualification (minimum Cert III level for a skilled occupation in Major Group 3 in ANZSCO)
must have a minimum duration of one academic year (40 weeks)
must be full time and on site in Tasmania.
you and your dependants are currently in Tasmania and can provide evidence of genuine commitment to living in Tasmania. Please refer to disclaimer at the bottom of this page for indicators as to how to meet this requirement.
lived in the state for at least 12 months during your period of study (evidence needs to be provided).

@batman Nice! Congrats sa invitation!
Titingnan namin. Maraming salamat.

Ilang months ka pala naghintay? Si @maguero same ko ng nominated occupation. Sana meron narin.

onehitwonder · May 2018

@agentKams question po.

Ganito kasi ginawa ko sa points calculator na sinend mo
- Visa Subclass 489 (10 pts)
- 33-39 (25 pts)
- Proficient English (10 pts)
- Australian Education Qualification (0 pt)
- Highest Education Qualification (15 pts) based sa EOI ko
- Professional Year (0 pt)
- Overseas Work Experience (5 pts)
- Australian Work Experience (0 pt)
- Partner Skill Qualification (0 pt)
- Designated Language (0 pt)

If yan ang dineclare ko, 65 pts po ako. Tama po ba and pwede po yan for Visa 489 ng Tas after ko matapos yung 1 year diploma course? Please patulong po pacheck.

All the best din for July 2018! Sana all good for us!

Au_Vic · May 2018

@onehitwonder better na antayin mo by 1 july yung occupational list per state baka may changes.

if may balak kang magstudent visa, better do it sa state kung san ka magpa-sponsor. SA may waiver sila for international students kapag dun ka nag-aral, pde mo ma-access yung supplementary skills list (includes marketing specialist) at pde ka mag-apply ng 190 sa occupation na nakalagay as 489 only.

Meaning kung SA ka mag-aaral, unless may future changes, you only need at least 60 points para eligible ka to apply for SS. SA requires at least 1 academic year of study. Saglit lang ang 1 yr and if may positive skills assessment ka na at nakuha mo na ung english score na needed mo plus other requirements then pde ka magapply ng SS once mtapos ung school mo. mabilis mag process ang SA for SS generally.

Pero up to you kung gusto mo iexplore lahat ng option basta you need to predict ung

onehitwonder · May 2018

Thank you @Au_Vic. Reviewhin ko mabuti recommendation mo.

Btw balak ko magpasponsor sa Tas din kaya dun ko binalak magdiploma course.

nicole@123 · May 2018

Hi meron po ba dito na nag apply ng student visa then after a year nag aply ng PR??

Au_Vic · May 2018

sa ibang thread ata yun

AbiQB · July 2018

Hi @onehitwonder ! Been following your threads, for now we haven't started anything but I think similar yung case... May I ask lang if may assessment authority required para da 15 points mo ng Highest Education Qualification mo...? Or submission lang sha ng transcript talaga?

Sa Canada kasi ang alam ko may WES to verify yung education mo. Hope you can let me know, thanks so much in advance and all the best in your application!

onehitwonder · July 2018

@AbiQB hello. Yes, my skills and educational attainment were assessed by VETASSESS. Same ba tayo nominated occupation?

RheaMARN1171933 · July 2018

@onehitwonder @AbiQB all assessing authorities use the Country Education Profile (CEP)which is from the Department of Education and Training. It’s an official document which lists all institutions outside of Australia and shows the Australian qualification equivalence of each qualifications from the institutions listed. Therefore, assessing authorities do not just decide on the equivalence of your qualification as they cannot possibly do that by just checking the documents you provided. They will always need to check it with the CEP.

onehitwonder · July 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 thank you for the information.

Donneal · March 2019

Hello po! May tanong lang po ako. Nag-aaral po ako dito sa Melbourne VIC. Pero nakapag-lodge na po ako ng 489 ko sa TAS. Tanong ko lang po kung maapektuhan ba yung application ng 489 kung nandito pa ko sa VIC? Thanks.

j.nuqui · March 2019

Hi I have the same question po,
if student visa holder in Melbourne then applying for state nomination in Queensland, will it impact my application? Eligible po ba interstate application?

onehitwonder · March 2019

@Donneal my guess is oo, kasi marami ako kilala na nagstudent sa mainland and ngayon nandito na sa Tas nag aral para mafulfil requirement ng Tas. Rememer isang requirement ng 489, 12 month stay sa Tas (under category 1)
