San ka nagtake ng test Sir dito sa Dubai? magkano po ang fee? May promo code ka ba? thanks!
AED1,000 sa JNS Business Bay ako nag-take, previous takes sa Silicon Oasis.. try this code PECU95408C44 I think applies only to first time takers, hopefully you can use it. good luck!

Hi im planning to apply my 489 po sana..
Kasi mukang matagal pa tong 189 na to.. maeexpired na visa ko sa 2020...
Ang tanong ko po, if kunwari may489 na ako and mabago ang rules... like after 3 yrs pa bago makapag apply ng PR para sa 489...meaning ba non pasok na ko wa bagong rules?? Or old rules padin na which is after two years?? Thank you
Hunter_08Adelaide Posts: 2,125Member Joined: Mar 01, 2011
@groovez10 kapag nainvite at nagka visa ka sa old rule ka pa din mag aapply if ever na magbago sila ng guidelines for PR but i dont think mangyayari yun.

@Hunter_08@groovez10 this all depends on how the government will implement the new rule if there is to have one. It’s not for us to assume and speculate.

@nickoryanfang first step sa lahat ng applications is english exam. You might want to check out PTE too. Try to read up on different visas and see what you can go for.

@nickoryanfang ang 489 family din pala low priority yun. Kung may matitirang invites sa 189 saka lang maiinvite 489, pero pag walang natira walang 489 invites.Last year pa ako may 489 family EOI pero di ako nagkaroon ng invite. 70 pts ako dun with sponsorship na. Ngayon 80 pts minimum and 10 lang iniinvite per month kaya di sya ganun ka viable na option e

@MLBS haha ganon pala.. akala ko need ng experience bago ka mkapag apply sa course n gsto mo.. kase last year my invitation n dn ako sa school e.. DIY lang ako,, kaso na short ako sa pera.. ang exp ko ay puro i.t kaya sa field ako ng i.t . nag try ako sa ibang course ..rejected pa or conditional offer..plan ko sana mag shift ng nursing if possible .. hehe ask ko lang .. uni ka ba? ano n balita sa student lodge mo
@nickoryanfang no need na may exp ka if you plan on studying a certain course. Pag lilipat ka kasi ng discipline, kailangan ma explain mo kung bakit kaya yun ang tricky part. College lang ako humanap lang ako ng murang course for the sake lang ng points e. Granted na ako nung december 2 pagkasubmit ko.

Paanong kailangan ng discpline. Thats my path din for sure. I need to finish din sa aussy .mgkno tution mo
@nickoryanfang kunwari IT ka tas mag aaral ka ng culinary, questionable yun. May work exp ka naman di ba so why not directly apply for PR? You need a positive assessment and an english test. Student visa does not guarantee a direct path to PR. Habok ko pts sa study e so mura lang tinake ko, around 6k aud a year.

@MLBS saan ung 6k a year,, ang alm ko pde ka mag hanap ng work dba after ng course mo ? para sponsorhsip ka. nako 24 lang ako tpos 3 years lang exp ko . 2years sa qatar hehe
@nickoryanfang depende yung fee sa level ng aaralin, course saka school mismo. I suggest na magbasa basa muna kayo ng ibat ibang visa (189, 190, student) kasi yung sponsorship na sinasabi nyo is hindi assured

Good point THREAD STARTER. On my case, the only visa type that is available is 489. Kaya no choice. Kaya lahat ng requirements like skills assessment, english test (which I took 4 times just to get the needed points), etc.. inayos ko lahat. I envy those professions na maraming open na States, unlike mine 2 states lang for 489 visa nga which means, there are certain requirements to meet para ka maka-apply for SS.
I know my chance is slim compared to others, pero laban lang and who knows. If it's His will, un na un.
*May 2016 -Heard one friend sharing stories about Australia
-Had my research the ff.day about my job opportunity in Australia
-Become aware about PTE, ANZSCO and VETASSESS
*Sept.2016 - 1st attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 83/71/76/83
*Dec.2016 - Submitted docs to VETASSESS for Skills Assessment
*Feb.2017 - Positive result from VETASSESS
(Only chance of EOI was in SA which require high points for a 489 visa)
*Mar.2017 - 2nd attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 86/76/65/90 (unsuccessful to get superior)
*Nov.2017- I turned 40, which means minus 10 pts. =(
- Started to lose hope and forget my Aus dream for a while
*July 2018 - NT, SA and Tasmania were open
- I needed to get a superior score from PTE
*Aug. 2018 - 3rd attempt of PTE (Dubai). LRSW = 57/69/84/56 (scores were awful)
(Despite my scores, I am determined and wont stop til i get that superior)
*Oct.2018 - 4th attempt of PTE (Phil). LRSW = 79/90/83/86 (at last!)
*Nov.2018 - EOI Northern Territory, Tasmania and SA
*Aug.1, 2019 - Northern Territory ITA
*Aug.7, 2019 - Official NT Skillselect ITA (Hired MA for visa lodging)
*Aug.20, 2019 - Lodged Visa
(Whatever the outcome is, life goes on & Im forever grateful to the Lord)
*Nov.18, 2019 - 489 Visa direct grant
Thank you Lord

@FearFactory_17 Tama yan. Pareho tayo na 489 lang available in 2 states. Yung isang state kailangan may job offer and yung isa mataas required points. Pero go lang ng go. Nakuha ko rin yung visa ko recently after almost 2 years.

kung sa ACS, pwede unahin ang assessment kasi di naman kailangan ng english exam result.
you can check the timelines in our signatures to get the idea of the flow of visa application.
Good luck!
