ang pagkakaintindi ko sa 'study in Australia' ay duration ng 2 yrs of study. If nainvite ka and hindi makaprovide ng docs that you studied for 2 yrs in Oz, maaring madeny ang visa mo. Hindi ako expert or agent, Based lang po sa mga nababasa ko. Parang overclaiming of points kasi ang ngyari.

Hello po. Kelan ka po naglodge?
Same tayo ng points. Nainvite ako agad sa 491 ko. Which was 95pts. Na namomroblema ako ngayon kasi mala ang naclaim kong points. Dapat 90pts lang. huhu. May kilala ba kayo na napprove ng same situation ko?

Last December. This month for 491. Wala akong kilala na namali ang claiming ng points. You should probably withdraw it as it's stated sa skillselect na kapag wrong claiming of points may result in refusal.

Salamat po @lecia .. one more question, plan ko na po kasi magpaassessment pero 7 yrs pa experience ko. if ever po I want to claim 8 yrs experience next year, does it mean I need to apply assessment again sa EA tapos magbabayad ulit sa kanila? thanks po
Joined: Nov 06, 2016
Ok lang po yan na 7 years sa ngayon. Basta sa EOI na I claim mo sa “experience “ naka open date like Jan 1,2013- ___ (til present) para pagdating ng 8 years mo mag autocalculate ang points mo. Basta same company, same job description, walang anumang changes at kapareho nun pina assess mo.

I think pwede pa rin naman. Pero you need to prepare for the relevant documents to prove ng employment mo dun. Kasi pag naka-receive ka naman ng ITA, you will prove 'yung mga points na you're claiming eh. I don't think and sort of nonsense na kung uulit ka pa ng EA assessment. Kasi maa-assess naman na sa EA that your skills are qualified for the occupation you're applying for. Pero better check pa rin kung may agent ka or read further about it. Opinion ko lang 'to hehe good luck!

Hi po @haringking at @cutiepie25, binasa ko ulit ang MSA booklet March 2020, pwede naman po pala yong CE na isubmit sa EA kay project you currently work on or project you have worked on.. maraming salamat po.. cguro sa application ng EOI ay need lang ng employment evidence.,

May chance or option pa ba yung 75/80 189/190? I’m considering din yung skills assessment ng partner ko para +5 (VETASSESS), laki ng cost nga lang. 😢

Achieve as much points as you can. ITA’s nowadays for 189 ranges from 95-100 and up to get invitation. Meron pa NAATi, partner points and state nominations. Try mo din 491.

Hmmm sorry about this. But if its false claim, you need to withdraw the application. Kung di mo mapoproduce ung document, marereject visa mo. And it will be recorded and will affect you future application.

Hello, We are new here. I am a ER nurse for about 6 years and currently I am a Critical Care Private nurse here in the Philippines, If I will summed it all up I have at least 8 years experience. I have use 3 sites for the calculator to know my points, and it is ranging 65 to 75.
Is there any way that my wife, our son and I can migrate to Australia, Region po sana target namin because a friend says na mas malaki ang chance to get a PR.
If we can, What will be first steps that we need to do. Can my family come with me po if ever?
Is it advisable to go to an agency na lang? May ipon po kami but hindi ganon kalaki.
Sorry po sa dami ng tanong,
Thank you po sa sasagot, it'll highly appreciated.

First you need to be an AuRN...
Most info dito are still current although napalitan na ng OBA ang Bridging Program. https://pinoyau.info/discussion/8762/nurses-what-you-need-to-know/p1
The higher your points, the better the chances of being invited.
Yes, you can bring your family.
Whether via agent or not, entirely up to your circumstances:
1. Do you have time to read and learn about the migration process?
2. Do you have budget to enlist the services of an agent or agency?

@gucci Base on the reading process I think my wife can handle it. But is there any possibility na pwede pong magsucceed even though we won't have an agency for the migration process po? Medyo limited po sa budget and we could use the extra cash for pocket money.
Thank you so much po for the provided infos.

Short answer, Yes.
But I would suggest, improving your points. 65 to 75 points might be a bit on the low side of invites. Getting superior marks on the English exam, going regional (visa 491), NAATI/CLL are some steps that can help improive.
