    I am seeing multiple posts that those who lodged around Oct last year were getting their grants this Feb, so maybe aaround 4 months now.
    But of course, not the case for priority occupations in health and teaching which could be less than a month even.

    Good day po sa lahat. Habang nag aantay po ng ITA from NSW. May mga questions lang po ako about sa pag aapply ng visa.

    1. May visa refusal po ako noong October 2022 (Student visa) due to weak GTE. Makaka affect po ba ito sa application ng PR?

    2. Sa pag prove po ng functional english ni spouse. Okay lang po ba na CEMI lang muna ang ipasa and kapag nag hingi nalang si CO ng english exam, tsaka palang mag take ng PTE? (Medyo nang hihinayang po kasi sa fee ng PTE)

    3. Wala din po bang magiging issue kapag ang ginamit na CC pang bayad sa visa fee ay hindi sa akin. Relative ko po sa Australia ang mag babayad if ever.

    4. Magagamit ko pa po ba ung medical ko nung nag apply ako ng student visa. Or much better na mag pa medical nalang po kami ulit ng bago?

    Thank you po.

    2. Sa pag prove po ng functional english ni spouse. Okay lang po ba na CEMI lang muna ang ipasa and kapag nag hingi nalang si CO ng english exam, tsaka palang mag take ng PTE? (Medyo nang hihinayang po kasi sa fee ng PTE)

    3. Wala din po bang magiging issue kapag ang ginamit na CC pang bayad sa visa fee ay hindi sa akin. Relative ko po sa Australia ang mag babayad if ever.

    4. Magagamit ko pa po ba ung medical ko nung nag apply ako ng student visa. Or much better na mag pa medical nalang po kami ulit ng bago?

    Thank you po.

    1. May part sa visa lodging na inaask kung narefuse ka na ng visa before. I don't think makaka affect naman to sa PR
    2. I read some people submitted CEMI pero hinanapan din ng PTE eventually. Wait for other's inputs
    3. No issue yang CC
    4. Sa PR medicals need ng additional test like HIV so di ata magagamit yung student visa medical

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

    2020

    Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.

    Hello po, sa mga nag-submit ng medical with visa 190, to generate the HAP ID, ask ko lang kung anung visa yung pinili niyo dito since wala sa options yung visa 190? TIA po sa mga sasasgot.

    napacheck ako ulet sa referral letter ko, naka 190 naman sakin.. try mo iaccess ulet baka lumabas yun 190

    ikaw gumawa nung health declaration mo or agent? may nabasa kasi ako na blog na wala raw talaga sa options yung visa 190 at pde piliin ung 189 instead. so gusto ko lang sana ma-confirm sa iba kung totoo yun.

    yes ako lang nag ayos ng lahat ng papers ko since DIY ako. last month lang ako nagpamedical, di ko sure baka nagbago na?

    I see, so sayo may option na visa 190 na lumabas? Eto yung nakita ko sa website ng DHA explaining yung reason na kung bakit wala yung visa option:

    Hello po, sa mga nag-submit ng medical with visa 190, to generate the HAP ID, ask ko lang kung anung visa yung pinili niyo dito since wala sa options yung visa 190? TIA po sa mga sasasgot.

    napacheck ako ulet sa referral letter ko, naka 190 naman sakin.. try mo iaccess ulet baka lumabas yun 190

    ikaw gumawa nung health declaration mo or agent? may nabasa kasi ako na blog na wala raw talaga sa options yung visa 190 at pde piliin ung 189 instead. so gusto ko lang sana ma-confirm sa iba kung totoo yun.

    yes ako lang nag ayos ng lahat ng papers ko since DIY ako. last month lang ako nagpamedical, di ko sure baka nagbago na?

    I see, so sayo may option na visa 190 na lumabas? Eto yung nakita ko sa website ng DHA explaining yung reason na kung bakit wala yung visa option:

    ooh may ganyan pala na explanation.. first time ko lang din kasi mag apply ng any visa from Australia, baka may issue pag nagtry na mag apply before kahit ng ibang type ng visa

    di pala kasi ako dapat dun sa new applications pumunta. meron direct na link sa application ko to generate the e-medical. ayun, ok naman na in the end. :smiley:

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

    2020

    Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
    Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.

    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.
    Jul 17: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Jul 20: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 8.0 R: 9.0 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: EOI – I received a notice that my EOI is expiring on August 23, 2022, so I had to resubmit it.
    Aug 23: EOI – My Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect expired after 2 years.
    Aug 25: EOI – I submitted my new Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.

    Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).

    Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.
    Dec19: – I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.
    Dec 30: PTE – I took the PTE Academic English Test. My test results came out the same day: L: 84 R:84 S: 90 W: 75. I didn’t get the scores that I needed to achieve Superior English.
    Dec 31: PTE – I booked another PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 361.28). My exam date was on Jan 09, 2023.

    2023

    Jan 09: PTE – It was my test day. The results came out on the same day: L: 90 R:85 S: 90 W: 80. I finally got the points that I needed to get Superior level of English.
    Jan 10: EOI – I lodged my EOI for NSW Visa 190 and was able to reach 70 points again to qualify for an invitation. By this time, the minimum points for all occupations were already removed by NSW.
    Jan 12: PTE – Booked my wife’s PTE English Test for USD$ 291.60 (SGD$ 401.85). Her exam date was on Jan 20, 2023.
    Jan 20: PTE – It was my wife’s test day. The results came out on the same day. She got a Competent English result which is additional 5 points on my EOI for Partner’s Qualifications (English).
    Jan 21: EOI – I updated my NSW 190 EOI. I now have 75 points.
