Pag mga skilled visa like 189, 190 or 491 wala na pake immi sa work mo. I think nagmamatter lang yang in line sa skills pag 482 visa at lilipat ng employer.

Maganda weather sa perth kasi di super init tulad ng ibang states. Right now mga 18 degrees lang kasi fall pa. Medyo maulan lang sa winter pero hindi naman super lamig. Been here 4 yrs na rin e.
I work in IT so wala ako masyadong idea sa construction sector pero sa lahat ng states in demand ang civil engg and the like. Partner ko na CE is from NSW pero inofferan sya ng work dito, sagot pa lipad nya and 1 week hotel. Yung ibang company may generous relocation package lalo na pag regional. Ang pinakamalakas na industry dito is mining, look into that one.
10000x talaga ang difference kasi simula ng lumipat ako dito I have no complains sa lahat. Mga locals dito todo complain na pag nalate bus ng 10 mins. Kung alam lang nila ang commute ko sa pinas, baka umiyak mga yan wala pang 1 whole day sa Manila hahaha

Sa design sya, sa mismong perth CBD office niya. I forgot to mention pero ang lala ng renting situation dito ngayon, super hirap humanap kasi grabe ang demand vs sa supply. Yan lang pinaka negative sa Perth for now
On the bright side, pag galing ka na ng pinas, everything here is better. Mga bagay na inuubos oras mo dyan like pagpila sa pagbayad ng bills, dito autodeduct lang. Excellent work life balance pa, never ako nag overtime sa office. Mga superior ko pinapauwi pa ako agad pag walang gagawin lol

kung may ITA na po ibig sabihin enough na yun points mo kahit hindi na magclaim points ang partner. pero baka nga part sya ng requirement hindi na sa points. magprepare na lang din po sya baka in case irequire sya ng officer, mas maganda na yun handa. pag partner usually competent lang ang kelangan ibigay.
sa case namin parehas kami ng bigay ng english exam dahil ngclaim kami ng points.

Pag wala pa grant, pwede ka pa mainvite for 189/190. Naka lodge pa lang naman 491 mo e. Kung may 189/190 invite, edi withdraw mo yung 491 pero no refund yun ng visa fees, just take note.
Marami na gumawa nyan dito. Yung restriction only kicks in when the 491 visa has already been granted.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Hello, meron na ba ditong naglodge ng student visa kahit na may EOI na sa 189/190?
Context:
My partner wants to be Australia na kasi as soon as possible para sa kanyang growth, but since no guarantee yung 190/189 invite nowadays (medyo hopeless 😞 and mababawasan pa points ko soon, im the primary applicant) she’s thinking to give Student Visa a chance.
Possible kaya ang ganito while she’s tagged as my partner in my EOI?
Hope someone can give advice.. 🙏🏻

Same case. If nasa AU ka na under bisa 500 and mag update ka ng EOI to onshore and ma invite and grant ka, refund tuition fees and insurance.
Been studying this path since mas mabilis. Ipagdadamot ko sana but I think this forum needs hope more since magiiba ang system starting july 1 until further official notice.

Allowable ba ang pag-refund ng tuition fees and insurance under these circumstances? Parang ang nabasa ko lang kasi is kapag refused lang yung SC500 visa. Although 'di naman ako nag-full on research sa path na 'to.

Hello. I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist na po. Nakareceive na rin po ako ng invite for 491 sa WA. However, may nabasa akong ibang thread wayback 2022 na mahirap mag hanap ng work inclined sa work na MLS or applications specialist sa Western Australia.
Pwede po ba makahingi ng opinion if mag wait na lang ako sa 189 or 190 Vic na rounds or ipush through ko na itong 491 sa Western Australia? Excited ako nung nalaman ko kaso kinakabahan po ako na baka wala akong work na mahanap.
TYIA 🙏
