    @agentKams not only that. It’s the age too. You don’t get points anymore for the age.

    @Pixiepie pero if the wife is below 40 yo pa lang pwedeng siya ang applicant. Mas ok sana if she is below 39yo.

    @Pixiepie @MrsBart well if the occupation is on the list. From my understanding she’s in procurement. They can still push it if they want...agents are already refusing so that already means something. I personally wouldn’t handle the case since it will be a waste of time and money for the applicant. In reality, nothing to lose our end since we will be paid for our services but would it be an ethical practice in the profession? Definitely not. I could only assume this would have been Respall’s reason why he refused to handle the case. It shows integrity from his end.

    @RheaMARN1171933 Sorry I miss the part na nasa procurement siya, though nasa occupation list pa din naman ata siya for 489.

    @Pixiepie yung option ba na that the wife will be the main applicant was also presented to Respall? Kasi if yes and they still refused to take them, most likely tama si @RheaMARN1171933, their chance of getting a visa could be very slim kaya sila nirereject.

    @MrsBart @RheaMARN1171933 ndi n po n present kc agent did no even contact. When we asked our agent, she said most likely daw po it's the age. Thanks po

    489 lng po pala ang procurement. :(
    Sayang po talaga, they are so willing, and we want them to go with us too.

    @MrsBart as an agent myself, I definitely understand where other agents come from. It’s not about most likely tama ako, rather, that is actually the case.

    Agents usually exhaust possibilities in terms of sino yung best main applicant. For example, if someone comes to me and asks about his chances, if I find alanganin yung standing, next thing I’ll look into is yung possibility ng wife. If May chance, I’ll recommend the wife as main applicant if not then I’ll be upfront with them. If they still want to pursue it, at their own risk na kasi definitely I don’t want anything to do with their case. It’s unethical practice for me otherwise. So that’s most likely where Respall was coming from. Like I said, I would do exactly the same.

    @ionnagab0222 all depends on points. If 189, Chem eng would probably work better. If 190, you need to be more strategic. Licence isn’t required during skills assessment so it doesn’t matter at all.

    @poh if your applying for state sponsored visa. some state are very particular like NT if you are seeking 489 visa state sponsored, make sure sa NT lng ang application mo. They usually ask sa form kong may ibang application k sa ibang state. Kahit sa ibang state na required and commitment letter.

    in addition, pro rata occupation has its own pass mark (higher) compared to other occupation which follows the minimum pass mark of 65 points.

    hello, question po. If we submit an EOI for 489, hindi na ba macoconsider for 190?

    kong ang apply mo is 489, di ka ma consider sa 190. pero like in TAS if your case is that good they have a clause there in their website that they might offer 190.

    On other state like NT, pede ang application sa 190 ends to 489 offer, just like what happened to my application.
