Skilled Migration Changes:
The skilled migration points test will change from November 16, 2019. The changes will affect subclass 491 applicants as well as applications for other skilled migration visas that have not been assessed at that time (but only in a way that is beneficial for applicants, by providing additional points). The new points details are:

– 15 points for nomination by a State or Territory government agency or sponsorship by a family member residing in regional Australia, to live and work in regional Australia;

– 10 points for a skilled spouse or de facto partner;

– ** 10 points for certain Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) qualifications;**

– 5 points for a spouse or de facto partner with ‘competent English’;

– 10 points for applicants without a spouse or de facto partner.

graduate ng stem lang ba mkakakuha nito?

Hi @arki_jigz06, if kaya mo try to consider applying for priority assessment sa vetassess for additional $600 ata. 8-10 weeks din kasi bago lumabas yung result, yung samin 9 weeks ata. Para umabot ka pa sa existing visas ngayon and while open pa nsw 190

imau · July 2019

@arki_jigz06 samin 6 weeks nung lumabas. just try to present it properly. pero kung ngmamadali k pede mong ipriority.

arki_jigz06 · July 2019

@keruchan mejo laki kasi additional kapag priority eh. hehe pero pag usapan nmin. target ko is victoria talaga.

arki_jigz06 · July 2019

@imau 6 weeks pero regular process lang sa inyo sir?

keruchan · July 2019

@arki_jigz06 ah ok civil pala papaassess mo, better din kasi mas madami open na states. Basta i-target mo na makapagsubmit na ng EOI before Nov para di ka na affected ng new visas

imau · July 2019

@arki_jigz06 oo regular. nsubmit nnmin nun s vet un. tas nrealize ng asawa ko n ipriority kc bk mgsara s id ng qld nun. kso nungg tnwg kohba p proseso pr ilipat s priority. awa nmn ng diyos lumabas 6 months.

always remember lng, advice ng mga kaibgan ko to n andun n, hnd dw pgandahn o paprestigan ng duties and responsibilities ang dpt mong ilagay s work ref kundi kung gno sya karelated s description ng anzco.

sample s asawa ko Senior Design Manager siya. pero dhl pgnagapply k na Arkitekto sa Aus ngrerequire cl ng 6 years study accdg s agent, 2 nging options nmin. Archl draftsman sk ID. since sarado ang Archl nung time n ngpaassess kme. sa ID kme npunta. dun ko ngayon nilaro ung work ref base s description at duties ng anzco. ang inportante mkapsok k at maassess k n positive. pgdtng nmn ng aus pede k mgapply ng mas mataas n position o back to the same position k gaya ngyn.

arki_jigz06 · July 2019

@keruchan yes sir. mag submit ako vet ngayong july.. sana may result agad. kc luge ako pagdating ng november eh.

arki_jigz06 · July 2019

@imau thank you sa advice mam. actually very general lang din nilagay ko sa coe ko. and related nmn sa civil draftsman lahat. iniisip ko lang baka magipit sa oras ako pag tumagal ung processing. pag priority nmn.magastos.pero if case to case basis nmn at may 6 weeks na may result na. i think aabot nmn. positve lang tayo.hehe salamat mam sa advice. nainivite na po ba kayo?

imau · July 2019

@arki_jigz06 opo bst lng po maayos ung pagkakacompose mo sk pgkakasubmit mabilis lng yn. opo nainvite po kme nung dec 12 ata o 13

arki_jigz06 · July 2019

@imau wow congrats mam. salamat po sa advice. big help po. thank you

Hi Guys, anybody lodged eoi for 489 visa sa NSW?

keruchan · July 2019

@gianrianyen May discrepancies sa site ng nsw and regional areas eh. Pag vinisit mo “available” regional areas for archi draftsperson, not available. So hindi rin makakapag-apply

arkrizz · August 2019

Good day! Bago po ako dito sa forum.
What are the chances po na makapag apply as architect for visa 189? Is it higher points, credentials, etc?
I'm trying to decide what I can go for, visa 189 or 190 (as arch'l draftsman).
Thank you po sa sasagot.

Hi newbie po ako sa forum na ito. Licensed archutect po ako sa pinas, with over 10years experience. planning to settle sana sa aus. Tanong lang po, qualified po ba tayo sa visa type 189? Salamat po sana matulungan nyo ako magstart.

sicntyrd · August 2019

Sa mga nagtatanong kung pwede mga architecture graduates from the Philippines to apply under the Architect occupation on a 189 visa:

Almost close to impossible po yan unless the AU assessing body for architects (AACA) has allayed their requirements for overseas qualifications. Simply, our curicculum/ syllabus/ scope of architectural studies is not equivalent to that of Australia's. Your work experience local/overseas, no matter how long, won't make up for that "deficit". Mapapagastos ka ka lang and in the end be given a negative assessment. Thus, most go for other archi-related occupations such as draftsmen (archi, civil, etc.) or ID whichever is available (usually state-sponsored visas 190/489) because you will be assessed by a different body whose qualifications are "gentler" for us PH-Architecture graduates. This has been the case for years. Basahin niyo po mga previous threads about this topic for further reading.

TLDR; Unless you studied from an AACA-recognized university abroad and took a full architecture course, then you won't likely get into Australia under the Architect occupation.

arkrizz · August 2019

@sicntyrd Thank you for the info. Since posting the question, I have also found this thread regarding the architect assessment. For further reading.

salamat po sa response, ayun nasagot nyo na din po yung supposedly next question ko. so ang safest way is to apply for 190 or 489 as architectural draftsperson. ibig sabihin po ba kapag architectural draftsperson, matic na 190 or 489 sya? makakatulong po ba kung may relative (Uncle/Aunt) sa Australia para maka apply ng Visa?

sicntyrd · August 2019

@Arch_Jay88888

Most of the time, if not all the time, ang mga draftsperson ay under 489/190 visas. An Uncle/Aunt can sponsor you as long as they reside in that designated/regional areas. So say, if he lives in QLD he/she can only sponsor you for a 489 visa in QLD if I'm not wrong.

Btw, ma-aabolish na 489 visa and will be replaced with a new type in a few months. So you better check and read up on the new visas.

Hi! Nung nagpa-assess po kayo as ID sa vetasses, nag deduct po ba sila sa years or experience? Being that your degree is different from the occupation nominated?

imau · August 2019

@arkrizz 9 years po ung ncredit skny ng vetassess
