Sige po. Salamat sa input. Ganun na lang nga po ang gagawin ko. Tinanong ko kasi ang agent kung pano ako ma eligible sa 186 kung kulang sa 38 weeks a week ang work ko, pero sinabi niya di pa daw ako eligible at the present, pinapagpasa na ako ng requirements ng 482.

Hi. Willing naman po sila mag assist sa 186. Kaso hindi rin po namin alam paano ma eligible sa 186 kung 34.5-36 hours a fortnight lang ang bigay na oras kada linggo sa aged care facility po. Sabi ng HR namin, kakausapin daw niya ang agent.

Ask ko lang po, if offshore and willing isponsor ng Aus company, ano po kaya ang requirement? Need ba na nasa job search site yung offer sa akin na position? Papano po nila mapprove kung bat nila ako hinire?
Ano po ba ang difference ng 186 at 482 and ano po ba ang mas mabilis?

Nasa link lahat ng requirements at up-to-date. Nandyan din ang kasalukuyan time frame ng processing. May mga requirements din na dapat i-comply ang employer para sa nomination.

Oo, piliin mo yun for Sponsor dun sa link. Makikita mo yun nasa baba.
You must be unable to find an Australian citizen or permanent resident with the skills and experience needed for to fill the nominated position.
You must do labour market testing to show us you can't find an Australian to do the work.

Paanong from student to 186 DE?
Kailangan ng employer na magiisponsor para makapag apply ng 186 DE. May IT experience ka. Try mo mag apply sa mga job postings at saka mo alamin kung nagssponsor ba sila ng 186. Kadalasan ay 482 visa muna bago mag 186. May mga exceptions na derechong 186 pero sa observation ko, mga C-levels from overseas or transfers sa same na kumpanya sila.

From student visa po.
Valid pa kasi ung Student visa ko hanggang next year.
Im currently working po as a Computer System and Network Engineer dito sa Sydney.
Advisable ba mag 482 muna or pwede mag 186 na. Ung employer ko po willing sya mag sponsor. Naghahanap lang po ako sana nang best advise.
Thanks

Wala naman transition path from student to 186 at hindi naman kailangan hintayin mag expire ang visa para makapag apply ng ibang visa.
Check mo yun 186 visa sa home affairs website. May 482 to 186 temporary resident transition stream. Meron din direct entry ang 186. Okay yun 186 direct entry. Check mo na lang qualifications mo at eligibility ng employer mo.

Hello po. Naka 3mos pa lang po ako sa 482. Tama po ba intindi ko, mas okay mag DE kesa TRT stream? Ano pong implications on the employer side maliban sa pagbayad ng nomination fee? Nakita ko kasi kasama sa binayaran nila yung 4yrs worth ng levy ko. If ever po ba na magpalit ako, marerefund nila yun? Baka kasi pag inopen ko, magdalawang isip sila kasi matagal pa naman expiry ng 482 ko. 😅 Salamat po in advance 😁

@jakibantiles Yeah, preferably DE. Check mo yun page ng "For sponsors" sa home affairs website, andun lahat ng requirements at costs. Sa tingin ko hindi na yun isosoli. Wala naman nakalagay sa visa 482 na pwede yun maisoli sa kahit anong kundisyon.
Ang kinagandahan dito sa Oz, hindi nila tinitingnan kung gaano pa katagal ang 482 mo base sa experience ko at mga nababasa ko. Sa mga kaibigan ko lang sa US to narinig. Hindi mo malalaman ang kasagutan kung hindi mo itatanong - wala naman masama sa pagtatanong. Hindi mo makukuha ang ibang mga bagay dito kung hindi mo hihingin. Baka kailangan mo lang lumagpas ng probationary period or depende sa company policy niyo bago maging eligible for DE. Good luck! Tanong ka lang dito.

Salamat po! Medyo vague nga po yung conditions ng levy refund.
Lumalakas po loob kong mag DIY 😅 4k kasi ang agent. Nabanggit ko na din po sa boss ko. He will sign it in a heartbeat daw 🥰. Basta daw maayos ko yung requirements. Tama po kayo, after na lang ng probi period para sure hehe salamat po!

Hi, paano po i-update yun EOI for employment para ma increase ang points? Kasi naka 3 years na ako as RN Aged Care and may skills assessment narin. Automatic dagdag points ba?
Then chineck ko din ulit yun tanong sa EOI, meron dun nakalagay sa Education if nag study daw ba ako sa regional. Sa ngayon kasi considered na regional na yun Richmond. Nung nag study ako, hindi pa. I tick as yes ko po ba yun kahit na hindi naman ako sa regional area nakatira at that time?
Salamat in advance sa sasagot po! God bless!

I am currently on temporary visa which is expiring in 2 months time.
My employer is willing to sponsor me for 186 DE. My skill is in civil engineering.
1. Does anyone know if I can lodge their sponsorship using my Immi account or do they need to create their own?
2. Can I lodge my 186 visa while waiting for the result of my employer's nomination?
3. When I lodge my 186 DE visa, will I automatically get a bridging visa?

Hello po, I'm just confused and gusto ko lang mag clarify ng some questions. So I had 2 years work experience as an Industrial Engineer in PH. I finished my Masters here in Australia, currently employed as an Industrial Engineer and I will be earning my 1 year work experience here in Australia on August. Naka visa 485 na po ako ngayon for 1 year. I also had my positive skills assessment from Engineers Australia and for my two years work experience. Kaya po ngayon winowork around ko nalang ung 1 year work experience ko onshore to complete 3 yrs requirements ng ENS DE.
Question is, in ENS DE, under proof of skills and qualifications document, it states that they do not accept a skills assessment obtained for visa subclass 485. Clarify ko lang po if iaaccept ba nila ung 1 yr obtained work experience ko dito under visa 485? Ipapaassess ko din naman ulit ung 1 year work experience ko sa EA after I gained 1 yr work experience. Medyo nag worry lang ako sa nabasa ko.
Salamat po and keep safe always!

Hello, I would like to seek your advice. We're offshore and not currently employed under any Australian company. My husband's an electrical engineer while I'll be his dependent (also a skilled worker). Our work experience is around 8 years. Ages are within the bracket of highest visa points. Skills assessments are ongoing processing.
For those successful applicants who has same case as ours, where can you find employers that could sponsor 186 DE visa? Any recommended job search engines? Also, what are the chances of offshore applicant to secure a 186 DE visa?
Thank you for your inputs!
