Congrats po! Can someone clarify akala ko po state nominations such as SC 190 and 491 are at halt hangang October since wala pa budget allocation ang DHA sa mga states?

491 Family Sponsored visa is managed by DHA along with 189. Since may draw and invitation, so probably yes. The state will not nominate you for this but you will need to be sponsored by an eligible relative. Then consider EOI scores here are competitive too.

Ayun may gumawa din. Naisip ko gumawa ng tracker for the month of July kasi nag submit ako EOI yesterday para sana malaman ko sino mga kasabayan ko. Add ko nalang din details ko dito and for the others kindly fill it in narin if applicable sa inyo. Thanks!
Anyway, congrats @masteruzi sa invite!

P.S. Mga ka-forum, one question lang regarding 491 - FS, kasi nagbasa basa na ako and I was wondering kung may naka basa sa inyo if KAILANGAN na same location kayo nung family sponsor mo? Like for example ung FS is located sa Perth but then the 491 applicant wants to work somewhere in Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast or any other regional area around Australia. Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot!

@diannaC NSW po under na State. Pero Central Coast yung regional area na nagsponsor sakin. Actually Aunt siya ng misis ko. I think mas simple lang siya na process compared sa state sponsorship kase hahanap ka lang ng relative na either Citizen or PR na magsponsor sayo.
Pwede yang cousin mo basta nasa regional area siya nakatira.
Eto requirements ng family sponsorship:
Sponsorship by an eligible relative
Your sponsor must be:
18 years old or older
usually resident in a designated area of Australia
be an Australian citizen, an Australian permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen
be your or your partner's eligible relative
An eligible relative can be:
a parent
a child or step-child
a brother, sister, adoptive brother, adoptive sister, step-brother or step-sister
an aunt, uncle, adoptive aunt, adoptive uncle, step-aunt or step-uncle
a nephew, niece, adoptive nephew, adoptive niece, step-nephew or step-niece
a grandparent, or
a first cousin
The Department of Home Affairs must approve your sponsorship before you can be granted a visa.

Hi, i'm not sure where to ask. This is regarding EOI application under Education. What do you choose under "degree"? I'm an ECE board passer and was assessed by EA as Prof Engr. Should I choose the "Bachelors degree in Science, mathematics and technology" or "AQF awarded..."? Can someone help? It would be a great help. Thank you so much.

Hi, basically same process siya ng 189, sa EOI tick mo lang 491 Family Sponsored. Make sure na the eligible relative stays in a regional area at PR/Citizen na for a year.
Once invited, sa supporting docs, you can submit birth cert, marriage cert, family tree, utility bill ng relative mo, house title mga ganun to prove 2 things na relative mo siya at sa regional siya nakatira.

Make sure na matched sa assessment ng EA! Not all degree in PH will be equivalent to their bachelor's. I'm not sure sa actual assessment ng EA pero for Vetassess for example they are the one who will determine if your degree is AQF bachelors, advanced diploma, oir diploma only. Walang bearing kung anong nasa diploma mo in this case.

Or does EA automatically accept the degree as equivalent if the outcome is positive?

Thanks for replying. Positive po yung outcome and this is what it said "AQF Level: Bachelor Degree". So tama po ba na "Bachelor in Science, Mathematics and Technology" ang iclick? Thanks po. Medyo nalito ako dito. Just to be sure...

I think "Bachelor Degree in Science, Business or Technology" yung nasa EOI. Meron bang "Bachelor in Science, Mathematics and Technology" ?

Salamat po sa sasagot sa query ko..

Hi everyone. I just want to ask if anyone here could give a transparent advise if it is better to start processing PR now (for accountant/auditor) amidst the Covid 19 situation or better to apply for it in 2021? Also, what is the status of PR application for accountant/auditor now in Australia? I read that points are now 100 (accountant) and 95 (auditors) and application now is really difficult. Given this high points, what are the chances of being granted PR for subclass 189 or 190? Thank you! God bless and please stay safe

Hello po. For 491 visa po, it's either you get nominated by a state or be sponsored by an eligible relative. For relative sponsorship, pede ka po mag work sa ibang regional areas around Australia and not necessarily sa same state ng sponsor mo. Wala po kasi nakalagay sa conditions ng 491 visa na you have to be living in the same state with your sponsor.
Hindi ko lang po sure about state nomination kasi baka upon receiving the invite from the state eh may agreement na kailangan mo magstay within that state na nag nominate sayo.
Sana po nakatulong

Don't lose hope sa 190.
Then sa 491 state sponsored din since bago lang un, in fact di pa nasisimulan ng NSW yung stream 2 (offshore). Let's wait for that kung anong magiging trend.
