Hi po another question po sa visa application hndi po kami nag claim ng partner points pero under po sa partner should this still be a "yes" ?

Yes, this is for your English ability, not your partner's.

Sorry I misread the question. If your partner meets the criteria here then the answer should be "Yes":

Hello! There is something I would like to confirm:

I'm planning to lodge my visa application (offshore) for 189 this December. Then I will go to Aus by January (I have Visa 476). Just in case I get invited for 189 before going to Australia, is it alright to apply for my visa there?

Need your advice. Thank you!

Need your advice. Thank you!

Lodging a 189 visa application or lodging your EOI?

Hello po. Sana may makasagot ng dilemma ko. This is our situation po. Bale I got sponsorship po from an Australian employer for visa 482 medium term, they will also sponsor my husband as my dependent. Unfortunately, medyo hesitant po si employer nung nabanggit ko na if pwede ba isama na din yung dalawa naming kids, dahil dito mukhang maiiwan po sila (3 y/o and 1 y/o). Need na daw po kasi nila kami mapapunta dun asap, eh mas matatagalan ang processing pag madami daw kami. My questions are:

Ifever makarating po kami ng australia under 482 visa, pwede po ba kaming mag-submit agad ng EOI for visa 189 (85pts po kami based sa calcu)? Or negative po ba ang dating nito kay employer?
For visa 189, pwede po ba kami mag-apply nun ng nasa australia kami ni husband tapos yung dependents namin na mga bata ay nasa pinas?
If maging dependents naman ang mga kids namin under 482 visa (kunyari mapapayag si employer), magiging international student po ba ang rate ng school fees nila in the future?
If hindi po umubra si 1 like conflict talaga kay employer ang pag-apply agad for 189 visa, may chance po ba mapapunta namin ang mga kids sa australia under tourist visa?

We just want to know po ang mga opinions nyo or if merong may similar experience sa amin. We really don't want po sana to leave our kids behind, pero sayang din naman po ang opportunity especially maganda naman po ang offer ni employer at para sa future din naman ng kids itong pagwork namin abroad.

Thank you po sa mga sasagot. God bless po sa lahat.

One of my clients signed up to our services early this year. Whilst doing their skills assessment, she mentioned about her current employer looking into a transfer for her to Australia….so she moved whilst we carry on their case. We lodge her EOI by mid year and now she just got an invite to apply for a190 visa a few weeks ago. we’re now about to lodge it whilst she’s on 482 visa. In short, you can carry on with your employer sponsorship whilst sorting the GSM visa in the background.

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much Ma'am @RheaMARN1171933 . One thing I"m concerned about is, if it's ok for me to apply for 189 (while me and my husband are on 482 in australia), pero our dependent kids naman are in the Philippines. Will there be an issue po kaya since we're not together physically. Thank you po ulit.

Hello po! Kakasubmit ko lang po ng EOI kanina. Sa mga nagtake po ng PTE, yung test reference number po ba ay yung registration ID or yung test taker ID po? Thank you so much po sa sasagot.

Hello po sa visa application form under sa partner, hindi kasi kami nag claim ng partner skill at English ang concern ko should this still be a "Yes"? prang mali kasi pag No

Kaso iniisip namin baka naman mag request ng English test.
Baka meron po kaming same case hingi sana advise.

Thank you po sa sasagot.

Hi question po! Mas okay po ba if isang EOI for 189 and isang EOI for 190 ang gagawin ko? Or okay lang din po if sa isang EOI, both 189/190 na? Thank you so much po sa sasagot!!!!

Combining it in one EOI shouldn’t be a ptoblrm

Hello everyone.

I haven't officially started our journey but here's our case.

Questions:
1. What is the best migration pathway for us?
-- Apply for skilled work si husband since his job is in the list of skilled work visa? Or
-- Ask his relatives in AU to sponsor us going there? Mas malaki ba chance this way?

If husband applies for the skilled worker visa, will I do the same process (assess skills, EILTS) or add na lang nya ako pag nag lodge na sya ng EOI? He will be the main applicant.
Saan maganda magpa assess? I only heard of VETASSES. Okay na ba dun? Or sa ACS? IT related job ni husband.

Thank you po sa mga sasagot. First time poster here. Sana lahat tayo makalipat ng Australia soon. #CLAIMINGIT

Hi Ms. Rhea! Thank you so much for your input. Kapag one EOI for both 189/190 po ung ginagawa ko, is it still possible na ma-invite sa dalawa? Mas malaki po ba ung chance na mainvite ako if ipaghihiwalay ko? Thank you so much for you time

in the SkillSelect system itself, pwede naman talaga pagsamahin. pero:

for 190, depende sa state, merong states na gusto nila 190 for their state only is selected in the EOI
kung gusto mo pa rin magkaron ng open chance for the 189 invite, even when you got invited with 190, mas ok na magkaiba yung EOI nila. kasi kung combined, and nainvite ka sa 190, the same EOI will be locked and no longer be eligible for another invitation.

Hindi required na magpa-assess ka din or kumuha ng English test but it will help in increasing your husband's points.
It depends on what occupation your husband will nominate. Each has its designated assessing authority: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Maraming salamat po! okay po, gagawa na lang po ako ng new EOI for each subclass Ask ko lang po kung paano po gumawa ng another EOI using the same skill select account? Kasi wala pong button/option doon sa skill select website para mag- add ng new EOI. Thank you po uli sa sasagot!

Same way you created your first EOI. Just do it all over again, there will be a different EOI # generated for you. You can use the same email address too.

SunsetParadise · November 2022

I created EOI for 190 NSW. For example po na-nominate po ako, ano po ung required documents na i-submit?
1. Skills assessment
2. Employment documents (offshore and onshore)
3. PTE/english assessment
4. Identity documents
5. proof of residency (i'm currently onshore)

Ito lang po ba? Thank you so much po sa mga sumasagot~!

Kahit wala po sa list ng skilled worker visa yung work ko?
Husband is in Database field. ACS na po ba pag ganun?

VETASSES for general skill/work assesment?

Thank you.

Thank you.

"Husband is in Database field. ACS na po ba pag ganun?" - Here's how you can check. Sa https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list, hanapin mo lang yung occupation ng husband mo. And then sa last column, makikita mo saan ba siya dapat magpa-assess ng skills nya.

For example lang ah (not saying na ito ang dapat na occupation niya, example lang):

"VETASSES for general skill/work assesment?" - Do you mean for your assessment ba? If gusto mo rin magpa-skills assessment, kailangan mo rin ng nominated occupation. Dun mo malalaman if sa VETASSESS ka ba magpapa-assess o sa iba pang authorities.

Makikita mo yung general info about sa pag-claim ng partner points here, sa official points calculator: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/tools/points-calculator Fill out mo lang tapos pagdating sa "Partner skills", click mo "Check if you can claim this". Ito yung sinabi ni @whimpee na "Hindi required na magpa-assess ka din or kumuha ng English test but it will help in increasing your husband's points."

Hello po sa visa application any tips on attaching documents? Pwede po bang sama sama sa isang file yung mga related docs?

Hindi ko gamay yung specifics ng pag-process ng application with a dependent, pero yes, basta nagrreflect sa application na spouse ka — need lang yata magprovide ng documents to prove that. Good luck!

mgraceclerigo · November 2022

Hello.. Need your advice po please. Nakareceive na po husband ko ng ITA, kaso di nya napansin na nung Oct 6 pa pala, kahapon lang nakita. So meron na lang kaming 18 days to process all the requirements to lodge, ang problema po eh yung PTE nya and EA (CDR) 2018 pa, so over 3 years na.
Question po, kelangan po ba magretake sya ng PTE and mag renew ng EA? Thanks po.
