    Matanong ko lang po sana,... Currently waiting pa po kami sa na booked na appointment date for Medical Exam. Sa Health Examination request po na natanggap namin thru email may nakalagay na "You must respond to this request within 28 days after you are taken to have received this letter." Kaso more than a month pa po yung nakuha naming schedule for health examinations, ano po ba dapat e submit na documents when notifying the department that we are unable to undergo health examinations within 28 days?

    Meron po ba dito sa inyo ang hindi muna nag undergo ng health examinations right after visa lodging??

    Hello! Occupational therapist po ako planning to apply for visa 189 or 491. Tanong ko lang if pwede na magsubmit ng EOI after Stage 1 desktop assessment or need pa ng limited registration from AHPRA? Done na kasi ako sa Stage 1 hindi ko alam saan yung “reference/receipt number” na need sa EOI. Thank you sa makakasagot po!

    Tawang tawa ako dun sa 0:48 and clearly ito yung mga nasa utak ng mga tao. Sigaw ng sigaw ng skills shortage yung Australia pero bakit walang galaw yung 189, 190, 491 and employer-sponsored visas, eh these are the major visas that mainly pertain to skills contribution. Sigaw din sila ng sigaw about economic recovery, ang dami na ding businesses na nagrereklamo na they can't find people, yet wala pa ding galaw.

    No offense sa mga student visas and work holiday makers, pero dapat ito yung priority ng DHA ngayon. So far inuuna nila yung mga student visas (e.g. visa application fee rebate). Dapat gumalaw na sila with the skilled visas kasi ito yung may direct, major effect and contribution sa economy nila.

    Oh that's really insightful, thanks for that! Kaso for me it seems like a band-aid solution lang. Aantayin muna nila mag-graduate yung student before actually contributing to the economy as an employee. Well they can work pala while studying, but I don't think all of them could juggle full-time work with studies. Unlike skilled migrants na diretsong contribute kaagad because of taxes. For the quota, parang hindi pa ata? Kasi quarterly ang invites tapos sobrang kaunti pa ng nabibigyan.

    Ang dami nang nagrereklamo actually. Ang dami sa change.org na mga petitions for DHA to start processing applications. Nakakaawa naman kasi talaga yung 2019 pa nagaantay.

    @brainsap Hi! Salamat sa response! 🙏 Ninuod ko in Youtube, sa Skills Assessment part of the EOI, it is asking for reference/receipt number. Is that the assessment number on the Stage 1 results? Akala ko kasi need ko hintayin ang application ko for limited reg sa Ahpra before ko ma start ang EOI 😭

    For perspective, I suggest that you also start reading up on local news in Australia. Iba rin kasi yung angle na nirereport to entice immigrants vs. what is going on, which will also shed light on why there can't be a sudden landslide of invitations.

    For one thing, there is a housing/rental crisis brought about by the covid situation. There are quite a lot of people here who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. So they can't just bring in thousands & thousands of immigrants because where will they live? Students generally live in shared houses or student housing but immigrants tend to be families who need their own houses. There is a shortage in building materials & in tradies who will build the houses that are needed. So aside from health professionals, there is also a need for people in the building trade, who will do, among other things, manual labor. Because nawala yung backpackers & students during the pandemic, there is also a shortage of agricultural workers (i.e. fruit pickers) which affects the supply chain. Bihira naman ang naka-skilled visa na papayag gawin yan. As you mentioned, there are also quite a number of people who were already invited & lodged their visa applications 2 years ago na hanggang ngayon wala pa rin grants. There is a quota on visa grants per year & syempre considered din sila sa quota either this financial year or in the coming financial year & will also help fill the skill shortages.

    Maraming aspects to consider & they are not all presented in immigration news. Australia is a good place to move to pero syempre maraming aspects of life here that have been affected by the pandemic & the government has to balance sorting out things that affect their constituents vs businesses.

    I actually read the local news every day in regards to immigration since DIY lang ako and I need to keep myself up to date. Ang daming businesses and industries ang nagccall-out regarding skills shortage. The highly regarded Grattan Institute produced a report last year with migration statistics (you can check in their website, it's an Excel file with 30+ sheets). They suggested to the government that they should be leaning more towards young skilled people with good English, since the future is the young working age population.

    In terms of politics, the opposition is favorable towards the increasing of the migration cap -- bale "big immigration" ang gusto nila because they know na they would benefit economy-wise. KPMG even said to take in at least 350k migrants per year (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10362277/Australia-urged-let-migrants-120billion-economic-boost.html) to get back on their migration prediction track that they did pre-COVID and to dramatically increase their GDP. With their elections coming up on May, whoever wins, may significant impact siya sa immigration.

    On the other hand, Canada released a backlog statistics and super transparent and acknowledging sila with their shortcoming, over 1.8 million applications ang unprocessed. My main issue lang is why keep on shouting skills shortage pero walang pagbabago sa galaw ng skilled visas. Lots of industries are calling it out already. I wish mas proactive si Australia rather than reactive. Oh well, all we can do for now is really just wait.

    Hello! Occupational therapist po ako planning to apply for visa 189 or 491. Tanong ko lang if pwede na magsubmit ng EOI after Stage 1 desktop assessment or need pa ng limited registration from AHPRA? Done na kasi ako sa Stage 1 hindi ko alam saan yung “reference/receipt number” na need sa EOI. Thank you sa makakasagot po!

    Hi, I'm an OT too. Pwede ka na mag-create ng EOI after mo makuha yun Stage 1 Desktop Assessment and English Test Result. > @Aisforapple said:

    @brainsap Hi! Salamat sa response! 🙏 Ninuod ko in Youtube, sa Skills Assessment part of the EOI, it is asking for reference/receipt number. Is that the assessment number on the Stage 1 results? Akala ko kasi need ko hintayin ang application ko for limited reg sa Ahpra before ko ma start ang EOI 😭

    Linagay ko yun OTC File/Reference No. (xx/000xx).

    I watched a youtube video about this, they say if you are sure you overclaimed points better to withdraw your application than get a visa refusal.

    Hi po. Nag email po sa akin ng ganito yung NSW case officer. So kung hindi po talaga valid yung points na kinlaim nyo, most likely idedecline din po nila pero hindi pa naman yun visa refusal. Decline lang ng invitation. If you don't mind po, pwede po malaman yung naoverclaim nyong points?

    Sayang ang invite @jakibantiles. Di bale nandyan kana mas okay nga na invitation refusal (worth less than $200 kaysa yung visa lodgment na $4000+ and may record pa and iexplain mo pa sa next application. Mas okay siguro magsend ng letter na nagkaroon ng overclaimining ng points and bawi nalang sa next invitation.

    Thank you po for sharing your experience. This was the very first EOI that i loges in my own( out of my desperation of my situation)..I ticked the “YES” po kasi yung Australian Study kinopya ko lang yung ginawa ng migration agent ko before but mali din pala yun, i should have ticked NO. Wait na lang po ako sa next invitation.

    hello po. I have a question po regarding medicals, for those who lodged their visas:

    I have heard from some po that they were only given 28 days to comply for their medical check. Is this duration true for all visa applications? I am applying for 190 and lodged-paid visa fees, but i did not get that notification. All I see in my IMMI account is a red flag, and a note that says actions required— arrange health examinations, without the due date. Wala pa rin naman pong CO contact pa.

    Did others get the same deadline po upon lodging the visa application? is this true for both 190 and 491?

    I am worried po kasi, the earliest medical schedule I got is on March 22 pa, and I lodged the visa Feb. 7

    Thank you for your help!

    Hi po. I applied for visa 190 last Aug 2021, Jan 31 na kami nakapagpamedical, no actions required na yung nakalagay. Wala naman akong nakitang 28days na notice. Most probably because closed ang Bupa nung naglockdown at nagcacatch up pa sila sa backlogs.

    Thank you, @jakibantiles! May natanggap ka na separate email that requests for the medical? Yung iba po kasi, after lodging daw their visa, they got an email pa for medicals.

    Hello po... I have a short question. Magsasubmit na sana ako ng invitation to DHA with 95+5 points for 190 visa kaya lang kapag ipinasok ko ang long-time gf ko sa visa eh mababawasan ako ng 10pts. May nakita akong option sa form ng visa application na "Non-migrating members of the family unit"

    Mababawasan ba ako ng points kung ilagay kong de facto ang girlfriend ko pero single pa rin ang status ko dahil non-migrating naman sya?

    Salamat po
