@RejNaix11 Thanks po sa pag sagot. Sure po ba ito? May nagbanggit po kasi sa kin na dependent daw po si wife kung hindi ako mag claim ng points for her.

Baka meron po makapag verify. Salamat!

Hello. Tanong lang po to clarify. Pasensiya na di ko mabackread lahat ng messages so my advance apologies if nasagot na tanong na to dati.

1. Sa Skilled 189 ba, yung sa part na employment history, kelangan ba ng reference letter from the manager? or okay na yung work certificate or work contract ang iprovide?

batman · November 2018

@denz_enriquez1988 reference letter usually from HR. Contract can be added as supporting docs para sa reference letter mo.

yuki_00 · November 2018

Can debit card be used for paying visa?

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@denz_enriquez1988 you need to provide a reference letter either from HR or directsupervisor/manager. You need to make sure to content on the letter complies to immigration requirements.

Hi po, tanong ko lng po, meron na po b sa inyo dito na nagapply, sa EOI po nila e 190 lang ang inapplyan nila, family po with kids tas ang nagrant e 489?

o kaya po sila nagrant ng 489 dahil 2 po ung inapplyan nilang visa? Medyo worried lng po ako kc 3 Ubg anak nmin. Kapag 489 po ang nabgay smin uuwi kme ng Pinas, ung asawa ko lang ppnt ng Au ksi ang feedback magastos kpg my anak tas 3 tas hnd PR.

Ngayon po e ns SG kmeng lahat. 3 kids ako sk un asawa ko. Kumbaga po sayang dn ung chance n mgkksm kme dto tas pgdting po dun sa AU bk mhrpn kme kpg lht kme andun tas hnd PR ang mgrant. Same po dito n walang medical benefits sk local school. Un dn po ung reason bkt kme ngpush mgapply dhl s medical benefits sk free school ng mga bata.

@imau Wala pa akong naririnig na nag-lodge ng application for one visa type sa Immi tapos ibang visa type ang na-grant ng DHA. Immigration will make a decision based on the visa you applied for.

Ang pwede mangyari, ang nangyayari ito for some states and territories like NT, ay yung mag-aapply ka for sponsorship for 190 tapos sasabihin ng state na 489 lang ang issponsor nila para sa iyo. Kung ganito ang mangyari sa inyo and ayaw nyo ng 489 e di wag lang kayo mag-lodge ng visa application. Pwede naman yun.

maguero · November 2018

@imau May nabasa ako dati dito na may states na maski 489 free schooling ang kids. Hindi ko lang maalala kung sino nagpost. Research mo na lang din sa state na tinatarget nyo.

imau · November 2018

@maguero pede po ba un na kunwre nga 489 ung inoffer nila, pede po b nmin iwidraw tapos po mgaantay nlng uli kme ng state n open pr s field nmin tas sk kme uli mgsusubmit ng EOI?

thanks po s pgreply

maguero · November 2018

@imau Yes pwede ka magwithdraw ng EOI any time basta hindi ka pa nakakalodge ng visa application.

Mia · November 2018

@imau try asking for more feedback kasi depende sa tao yan... I've been monitoring migration to Aus topics for a good 10 years now (since adulthood) and the trend is pahirap-siya ng pahirap. If 489 ang available for you sa inyo ngayon, I would take it no matter how daunting the future it will be.

I googled kung ang children 489 visa holders would incur school fees, if this is accurate then you won't have anything to worry about:

https://www.gmskilled.com/paying-school-fees-in-australia-holders-of-subclass-489-visas/
http://www.saaustralia.org/topic/45510-school-fees-on-489-visa-in-south-australia/

Schooling is not entirely free anyway kahit sa PRs and citizens kasi parang may mga contribution pa rin naman...

Sa medical benefits, may insurance naman...

kriscandy · November 2018

@imau pwede din po kau mag initial entry muna once na grant na ang visa, ang go back to sg to work for a few more months para pocket money ninyo sa AU for the big move.

imau · November 2018

@Mia @kriscandy thank you po s infos... Praying sa positive result. salamat po uli

deaddisco · November 2018

Hello everyone,

Just wondering if filing an EOI immediately when you're qualified will have any advantages? I am now 65 points for Visa 189. Will be 70 by February for my Work Experience.

Do I file an EOI now or wait nalang for February?

hey guys. been a lurker here for some time and just wanted to drop by to express my appreciation to everyone on this forum, laking tulong talaga ng mga tips dito from other posters.

kakasubmit ko lang ng ACS assessment and planning to take PTE in the next couple of months. review review pa onti.

anyway, good luck everyone!
using this to track my progress din.

was notified by the case officer na kailangan daw may CTC yung documents, kahit na most of my uploads were colored originals.

however, same time kami ng wife ko nagsubmit ng documents, pero siya walang notification.

anyway, napaCTC na namin documents namin and reuploaded, just waiting ulit.
no updates yet, but should be expecting something soon. based sa myimmitracker, may nagupdate na ng results ng June 30(nung July 9 kami nagsubmit). sana positive ang results.

also, next week na rin exam namin for PTE. aiming for high scores.
got my PTE results today, 79 lang talaga target ko pero nakasungkit ng 90 overall! 90L/90R/90S/88W

still waiting for my wife's scores. tska ung ACS assessment namin, inaanticipate ko in the next couple of weeks.
quick update: my wife received 80 overall on her PTE.

so just waiting for ACS now, as per expatforum, may nagconfirm na ng results na July 9 nagsubmit.
received positive ACS results! so far so good. magaasikaso na ako ng EOI. meanwhile, waiting for wife’s results.

update lang for anyone who might come across my timeline in the future.

positive rin ung ACS results ng wife ko and nakapaglodge na kami ng EOI nung August, anticipating the invite next round.

meanwhile, may pending correction kami for our marriage certificate (read up on RA9048 if you have similar case), sa NOV10 pa babalikan tapos dadalhin sa PSA office for additional 2 weeks processing pa.

also, my wife's passport is still under her maiden name - ultimately, we decided to get her a new passport with her married name nalang to be safe. kumuha na rin siya ng new NBI Clearance pero may HIT, next week babalikan along with her DFA appt.
update again in case somebody might find this useful.

wife got her new passport, (about 10 days ata?) on time naman sila, delivered to our house.

got our invite October round and nakapagupload na kami ng documents - as many as we can provide. our birth certificate, joint bank account, passport and passport photo, diploma, TOR, COEs, all payslips we can provide, stat. dec. from our previous and current manager, PTE scores, ACS results, NBI clearance, forms 80 and 1221, etc. in case you're wondering, some documents are notarized, most aren't.

i ended up not including my middle name (mother's maiden surname) after all - mainly because sa Visitor visa ko before hindi ko siya sinama and i didn't face any problem naman.

pending pa ung corrected marriage certificate namin, kya inattach ko nalang ung erroneous PSA copy with the RA9048 grant letter along with a cover letter to explain, at un muna inupload ko. once makuha ko ung corrected copy, iuupload ko nalang rin.

we lodged our Visa application October 26, currently waiting nalang. bale medicals pa kulang.

quick update lang in case somebody might stumble upon this and kapareho ng case.

did our medical exam last saturday, may follow-up kay wife pero naclear naman na siya. malas lang natag ako for TB test/culture. di ko pa alam pano magproceed, pero ttry ko tumawag bukas kung pwede ko na simulan by next week.

yung correction sa marriage certificate namin 2 months na wala pa, so chcheck ko ulit next month.

Marites_47 · November 2018

Hi, ask lang. Pwede po ba walang payslip dun sa mga work na not related. Di ko n po kasi makita yung mga payslip ko. ITR lang maproprovide ko. Thanks!

batman · November 2018

@Marites_47 afaik you don't need to provide proof for jobs that are not related to your nominated occupation.

XwWrfwx · November 2018

quick question. kapag naglodge na ng visa and ongoing pa ang medicals, any idea kung maaassignan ng case officer or aantayin pa nila muna maclear/matapos?

mcbjosa · November 2018

I already got an invite and turn whether to submit a new EOI or proceed with the visa processing since I inputted wrong entries on my EOI

1. PTE reference = I am claiming pts for my partner and entered PTExxxx instead of the registration ID. He took several exams and the last one is not proficient. I am thinking they will check the last one if they will access the PTE score via PTExxx
2. Employment start date = I entered June 2010 while my ACS assessment is after June 2010. I got the assessment result July 19, 2018 and submitted the EOI July 2018. My 8th yr of experience starts on July 2018.

Should I proceed with the application or just submit a new EOI?

Supersaiyan · November 2018

@mcbjosa I suggest submit new EOI to avoid further doubts of visa refusal since you entered incorrect details, not sure though if you can correct wrong those wrong entries at the end using visa forns upon lodgement. If it's possible then take that step rather. Let's wait for other co-forum users.

mcbjosa · November 2018

@Supersaiyan. Thanks for the advice. Have you seen/read anyone who submitted their second EOI and did not get another invite? I am also worried if I opt for new EOI, I might not get another invite. thank you

xylocke · November 2018

hello guys, meron po ba dito na grant visa pero declaration ng EOI ay hindi sinunod ang ACS result? if ever ma reject, kasi mali yun na declare mo sa EOI vs ACS, will it affect ur future application?

alam ko before meron na approve without issue, d ko lng sure if lately meron pa din?
thank you

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@xylocke yes, that’s a big possibility. Why wouldn’t you follow the ACS decision? Immigration gives high regards on the skills assessing authority decisions. What’s the point getting yourself assessed when you’re not even going to follow the outcome? You need to be mindful, skills assessing authorities are the designated authorities for the relevant occupation. Even migration agents like me who are professionally trained would place value on the outcome of the authority, all the more individuals who are doing DIY applications should do the same.

RheaMARN1171933 · November 2018

@cyborg5 yes, that’s definitely the plan. It will just get tighter, that’s the expectation sonest to get the process started sooner than later and get things right the first time as well. This just couldnt be stressed enough.

imau · November 2018

Hi tanong lng po, knn naalala ko nung chineck ko skillselect, may tnong po kc dun bgo ko mglodge ng EOI

“years of experience in nominated occupation - in australia within the last 10 years” ang option lng ny is less than 1 year para mgproceed sa next page. E hnd nmn po ngwork ung asawa ko sa AU offshore po kme andto sa SG.

Kso nung tinignan ko breakdown knn nasama sya sa listahan ng sscoran. E wala nmn dn cyng points dhl less than 1 year. Sk tama nmn po ung total points n kineclaim ko. Ngworry lng ako bkt nsali tas sbhn ns AU ung asawa ko. O wala lng po un

aron_drn · November 2018

Hello Po..meron lng ako concern regarding sa working experience which is not part of the EOI and not part of Engineers Australia assessment and hindi po ako nag claim ng points dahil od experience na sia .

Kilangan ko po ba e declare? sa Form 80 . Main reason po kung bakit doubt ako kasi wala po akong nakuhang COE sa company which I work in 10 months in Malaysia dahil ayaw ng company magbigay ng COE gawa ng hindi ko natapos ang contract at hindi maganda ang pag alis ko. but meron akong Visa copy at contract copy meron din ako copy ng salary paid by the main contractor po. Worried ko lng kasi baka mag hingi si CO ng coe at payslip wala me mabibigay.

Slamat po sa meron idea at experience sa ganitong case po.

Cheers to all po
