Hi @juantamad mag aapply din kase ako ng ENS186. Accountant ang position ko for the company who just started business just more than a year. I want to make sure na qualified si sponsor kase I do not want to risk my visa applicarion considering family of 5 kame, shempre malaki magagastos. I want to make sure na ma-approve ung nomination since I plan to submit my application even before ma-approve ang nomination. Gusto na din kase ni sponsor na mkpagstart agad ako ng work. My questions sana ma-share mo ung experience mo: 1. Did they get a migration lawyer or diy application pwede na? Familiar nman ako sa process and documents na kelangan kaso baka may mas mabusisi pang detalye na kelangan. 2. Strict ba talaga sa labour market testing? Considering na new business sila and clinic (health and beauty) ung industry tapos kukuha ng accountant overseas. Baka masilip na pwede nman kumuha sa AU ng isang accountant. 3. Do you have tips or advice to make the application succesful?
Thank you in advance and if theres any one out there na may pwede din ma share, I would appreciate any tips or help.

Hi,
I am currently on Temporary Visa which will be expiring soon.
My skill is included in the eligible skills occupation.
I have spoken to my employer and they were happy to sponsor me for 186 visa.
We are only doing it ourselves.
Does anyone know if I can use my Immi account on my employer’s behalf for visa nomination in attaching documents and lodging?
Or my employer needs to create their own immi account?

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!

Hi Everyone,
I have one of my reports who is in a 482 visa for the last 4 years. Company is willing to sponsor transitioning to 186 but ANZSCO code is not included in Strategic Skill list. Are there any stream on 186 that does not look up on job code?
Thanks!

No need for POEA/OWWA OEC kasi PR visa ang 186. You and your dependent(s), if any, would need to be registered with the CFO as part of exit requirements from PH.

Hello, questions for folks who applied for 186 DE. One part of the application is if applicant hold employment registration licensing or professional membership. Is Australian Computer Society (ACS) membership a yes for this?
Posts: 79Member
Joined: May 22, 2022
Under ACS ka ba magwowork? employment reg licensing/professional membership should be from your employer since the employer is the "applicant" of your 186 visa
I am 60/40 sure based from my findings since I am looking at 186 visa as my plan B if 189 and 190 streams will take >90 days initial movement (invitation).
