August 2019 Visa 189/190/489

dream.BIG · August 2019

Pano nalang kami na nag papataas pa ng points. Mukang sa SA 489 nalang talga kami aasa.

superluckyclover · August 2019

Kaka disappoint. Mukang naghohold sila ng invites until Nov(new pointing system). Hopefully im wrong.

Yeah looks like it. Sabi sa expatforum, ang nag uupdate ng mga nainvite ay 85 pointers or more. Di sila nakapag report over the weekend kasi some of them ay nag migration agent so outside business hours. Sana nga magkaron ng explanation dito. Maraming nag hihintay sa sagot or clarification.

Therefore, di na masyadong accurate ang Iscah predictions. Nakakalungkot.

Nakita ko nga din yun. Sana maging transparent sila para alam ng mga applicants yung expectation at makapag plan accordingly.

ms_ane · August 2019

nag release na ang ISCAH ng kanilang report for August Invite. Wait tayo for the next couple of days kung anong meron / explanation sa reduced # of ITAs ( buong akala ko pa naman by this month aabot na ang mga 75 pointers)

Puro 85 pointers ang mga nakalusot. Wala yata tayong 85 pointers na mga kapatid sa ngayon kaya wala din nakapag update.

https://www.iscah.com/unofficial-skill-select-results-11th-august-2019/

Pero may September pa mga kapatid, sama sama ulit tayo mag abang, at maigi e weekday ang Sept.11 (Wed) - Tues yan abangers na tayo ulit.

Damihan naten ang dasal

ms_ane · August 2019

wala din palang nag lodge ng EOI ng August napansin ko lang din hehe. Lahat may DOE na 1 month ago siguro.

luckyeli0520 · August 2019

iniisip ko sana magkahimala tapos gawin nilang 2 rounds ulet(wishful thinking). sayang ang holidays dito sa SG, puyat puyat din kaka antay.

ms_ane · August 2019

@nadkram umaasa nga ako na mamaya meron pa e hahaha! medyo nakakapag isip lang anong nangyare? e ok na ok naman na last round.

luckyeli0520 · August 2019

@ms_ane naku ibig sabihin puyat din pala ako mamaya. jk sana masagot ang katanungan natin soon kung ano nangyare. Ayaw ko maniwala na magaantay pa ako up to Nov. -_-

@ms_ane Kamusta naman po ang ating mga eyebags.

April 2019 pa ko nag start mag abang 12 midnight AEST. May halong thrill pero tama, usually pag new Financial Year buhos ang invite. Kakaiba talaga itong August. Sana isolated case lang.

Pero kapit lang po mga kapatid!

lecia · August 2019

Lets hope for the best sa next na ITA, medyo madami ata silang backlogs talaga, 189, 190 ,489. Baka nag slow down sa ITA para buhos naman grants. In which, galaw galaw na sa next month.. Hoping for a better ITA next month, keep the faith mga ka forum..

Claiming for more grants this week!!!

Yes! tama. Magandang perspective din po ito. Kawawa naman din ang mga case officers, tambak na sa cases for grants. Actually, may balita na gustong i-privitize na ang immigrations para mas efficient ang process pero who knows kung mas maganda ang result nito.

ms_ane · August 2019

@superluckyclover sana nga ay isolated case. mas masaya maki abang kapag may goodnews. Itong nakaraan nakakalungkot hmp.

Yes true, case officers job might not be the easiest with the workload they have but I am pretty sure they are compensated and paid fairly and well and are fortunate enough not to be in a position where their future or their family’s future will be at the tip of someone’s finger, or in this case, at the mercy of Australia’s very dynamic migration rules. If you follow some threads in expatforum regarding the latest invitation trend, you can see how heartbreaking it is for some people who spend years of trying so hard to obtain points only to endlessly chase after a moving target while they, with their whole family pursue this Au dream and now ending up in total hopelessness. Future is bleak given the reduction of intakes and points required now are really high. Lucky are those who have the resources to do the necessary steps to be able to reach the points which is almost impossible for offshore applicants.
I can’t help but cringe because they are really the real kawawa..,

I totally respect if you want to see the situation this way but there could be a valid reason why DHA invited less people this round. Hindi lang ito power tripping. They've bitten off more than what they can chew.

ali0522 · August 2019

hi guys ask ko lang kung malaki ba yung effect nung nov 2019 new pointing system? tataas ba yung points nang single at may superior english? tpos 5yrs of experience?

- This is truly heartbreaking because we all can very well relate sa lahat ng hirap at pagpupursige na inabot naten for this AU dream. I cannot comment any further bilang I know naman na alam nyo na na this entire migration thing is nothing but a stiff competition and that we always say na bilisan ang diskarte para maunahan natin ang ever changing migration rules ng AU.

Yung padating na changes in points sa Nov, be safe lang and try to analyze din ang speculations ng iba, na even though may ways to up your points, ang mangyayari naman dyan is tataas naman ang overall points - so parang ganun lang din. So in my own opinion, if you have other means to pursue today, other visa to apply to (190,489) go na.
Now, more than ever, the saying Time is Gold is napaka appropriate.

Goodluck and madaming dasal para sa atin mga kapatid.

xiaolico · August 2019

totally agree with @ms_ane. not just the au visas, if may ibang bansa na option, check them as well. it might not get easier sa au. make sure check niyo lahat ng possible options niyo. good luck everyone.

Me, got invited last August 1, 2019 for a 489 visa sa NT. I applied for EOI Nov.2018.

Pathway is 489 visa, have to stay for 2 years in one region, then u can apply for 887 w/c is a PR Visa and u can work and study anywhere in Aus.

Puedeng2 na. Cant afford to be choosy. Pahirap na ng phirap makapasok.

ms_ane · August 2019

@FearFactory_17 congrats sa invite kapatid. I agree, sobrang higpit na ng competition and for a moment naging unpredictable na din (which is medyo nakakatakot)
Best of luck sa iyo

May radtech po ba dito?

donyx · August 2019

how about this news: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/australia-wants-you-recruiters-sent-overseas-to-sign-up-5-000-best-and-brightest

out of the 160,000 planned migration program, 5000 ang ilalagay para sa highly skilled migrants through recruitment from key locations under GTIP program. meaning reduced to 155,000 na lang yung paghahatian ng iba't iba pang applicants.

kalmalang_au · August 2019

Hello po. May nainvite na ba dito recently(from july) for 190(VIC) under 2613?
