March 2019 Visa 189 / 190 / 489

shiftylefty · November 2019

@ms_ane sa mga old score reports po generated/downloaded prior to April 2019, wala pong score report code. pero kapag nagview report po ngayon, me score report code na.. naisip ko lang baka itong code na to ang hinahanap ng mga CO's

shiftylefty · November 2019

sabi naman dun sa immitracker discussion board, sabihan lang daw ung CO's na nasubmit na ung report yung exam day itself via pearson website..

robinsyreyes · November 2019

Oonga, just checked mine. To be safe siguro iupdate na lang yung document. I tried resending the PTE result to DHA however ang sabi once lang sya masend. So iupdate na lang siguro manually.

KPB · November 2019

@robinsyreyes ganito na rin ginawa ko tapos upload na manually just to be sure

Ask ko lang guys.

Yung PTE ko kasi nag-expire na nung 26 Sep 2019. Pero lodged na naman ako nung 12 March 2019 for Visa 189. Maghahanap kaya sila nang bagong PTE?

Sana di na ako pakuhanin ulit.

Thanks guys.

since nagpasa kana and it was still valid at that time, i think it should be ok.

@shiftylefty thank you kapatid for bringing this up and salamat @robinsyreyes for validating / confirming on this. Balak ko din sana itry mamaya pagkauwi ko pero ayan na nga confirmed na.

For those na nakapag lodge na and their PTE results were issued before April 2019, worthwhile to get a report again reflecting the score report code. Gawan ng cover letter ang bagong attachment and ilagay sa file name PTE -Score Report Code (para mapansin agad ni CO)
Suggestion lang naman ito to avoid CO contact, mas less hassle sa inyo and more time for the CO to better allocate his time sa pagprocess ng iba pang application win- win for all

I agree with @odwight @KPB
your pte was deemed valid at that time of submission pero worthwhile din na you do the above mentioned extra steps para naka reflect ang score report code Goodluck lapit na yan sayo antay antay nalang konti

3 years ang validity ng PTE for visa purposes pero alam ko shorter ang nakadisplay sa PTE result. ika-3rd year na ba nung PTE result mo?

Salamat! Gagawin ko ito, i'll update our PTE result para magreflect ang code na ito!

Yup, nagupdate na sila, pero ang alam ko "8" ang idadagdag kpg PLDT, kapag globe naman "7" ang idadagdag sa old tel nos. Nag woworry nga dn ako ksi yung mga COE na inissue sken eh mga 7 digits pa. Praying na sana di maging kaso ito sa pag nagpa assess ulit ako sa ACS.

for EOI submission po ano po dapat ilagay sa Test reference number? yung "Test Taker ID" or yung "Score Report Code"?

edward2414 · November 2019

Hi po, ano po impact ng change of PH telephone digit form 7 to 8 digits?
Lahat po ng work references ko sa 189 lodge nasa lumang contact number (7 digits)

click mo yung question mark sa tabi kasi di ako sure if nag bago na din sila ng requirement ng ilalagay sa field na iyan now that score report code is already available.

coolitz_12 · November 2019

Thanks @ms_ane! mali pala yung reference number na nailagay ko.. Registration ID pala dapat nilalagay kapat PTE.

"Direct Grant" sya, if this is true somehow mejo nagstart na sila magprocess nag March 2nd week onwards Godbless us everyone, Happy monday to you all

robinsyreyes · November 2019

Share ko lang din yung review ko ng 189 visa trend, data taken from DHA FOI page. Take note that the actual grant and backlog data until May 2019 is available at DHA website. This is to understand what happened in the recent months and is just my assessment and opinion. Did this during my free time hehehe. Cheers

Visa 189 allotment
2017-2018 (~44,000 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)
2012-2019 (~44,000 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)
2019-2020 (~16,652 for onshore,offshore, NZ applicants)

Key takeaways:
1. Backlog on July 2018 was at around 11.7k, it steadily grew to ~25k mainly due to Oct-Nov applicants (10k)
2. On average immitracker data represent about 5% of the actual grants. So a few hundred grants were given in the previous months.
3. Drastic decrease in grants given started last July 2019, when the backlog reached ~13k from 25k in December.

Majority ng backlog is from the Oct - Dec 2018, on a positive note meron namang grants every month. I enjoy na muna natin holidays Darating din yan God bless everyone:)
