Dito ko ata nabasa na for nsw they require na superior english daw dapat to get invited. I dont know if it is true, pero since July pa kme unang lodge ng eoi then saka lang naka superior nung october and then on november saka ako nkapasa sa pte for partner points. You may try to consider getting the superior din siguro though not 100% sure if it is true

Ano po matatanggap mong mail pag Pre-selected? yun po ba yung magbabayad ka ng $300? tapos yung Jan10 yun na yung magapply na na may bayad na $4000?
Ang tagal kasi ng akin Nov 28 ako naglodge ng EOI with 90 pts sa NSW 190. Di ko alam kung nagbabakasyon pa sila at di pa din nagiinvite uli sa NSW.

@engr.levy yes, pre-invite is where you have to pay the $300. pero depende kasi yung invitation nila sa need nila for that specific job code. yung akin kasi 2 weeks lang ako naghintay may invite na ako. Not sure about the Superior English pero based sa nirerelease ni 190 NSW na ininvite nila for 2019, may iniinvite naman sila na hindi Superior.
eto yung isang list na pinost ni Iscah na binigay daw ni DHA:

Question lang po. I am studying Masters of IT and systems accredited yung school ko ng ACS. After graduation pwede ba akong mag apply diretso ng PR for visa 189 or 190 kahit wala akong experience as IT dito or sa pinas? Pero yung points ko based dun is nasa 85

Aussie grad ka ba? Kung fresh grad ka may 2 options ka to obtain positive assessment:
Or
So, kung nasa Australia ka and you obtained your degree here without prior IT experience, the answer is no. Hindi ka pwede mag apply ng visa 189 or 190 without satisfying one of those I mentioned above.

Hello, i really don't know where and if it's the right place to ask... Plano ko po kasi magwork sa Australia, my tita will sponsor me.
(1) I'm skilled something (Architecture graduate); probably Architectural Draftsperson (STSOL, VETASSES) since need pa ng AACA to be an architect sa AU...
(2) Sponsored by a relative: Skilled Regional (Provisional) Subclass 489 (???)
Anu-ano po ang dapat kong gawin + need iprepare na papers?
Joined: Nov 22, 2019
Yes po. Currently studying here in Australia. So after ko mag masteral ng IT need ko lang ng 1 year local experience here as developer and pwede na ko mag apply ng PR? Tama po ba?

@Gino yes, need mo either 1 year local experience or tapusin mo yung Professional Year mo. Ganyan din kasi yung case ng friend ko kasi Marketing cya sa Pinas tpos nag-IT cya dito sa Melbourne. Not sure lang kung kelangan closely related dun sa aaplyan mo na ANZSCO yung local experience na makukuha mo. Kaya for me, mas safe na kunin mo yung Professional Year. Pede mo naman ipagsabay yung work exp at Professional Year anyway. You'll get 5 pts for each if ever.;) (5 pts for Professional year and another 5 pts sa local experience pagka 1 year mo.)
