Hello po, if complete na po kayo lahat ng documents less than 1 month kaya nila ilodge yan. It will just take some time to gather all the documents -- skill assessment, english exam, police clearance, etc. The grant will take some time rin po. As of now if you are not on their priority list and non accredited sponsor may iba umaabot ng almost a year and antayan. Then pag naswertihan 3 months.

If ready to submit ka na, you will need to submit the application as priority. Usually you can get the priority application after trying for 2-3 days (once you learn the technique of refreshing 2-3 mins before 9am AU time). Once successful submission via priority processing, it will take about 2-3-4 working days before VETASSES can reply to you to inform you the application has been approved for priority processing. Once approved, expect within 12 days for the assessment.
For the docs needed for vetassess, you can prepare all within 2 weeks kung tututukan.

hello po.....sa mga naka-apply na po ng ENS 186 Direct Entry Pathway....ung 6 months po na validity sa visa application....ang ibig sabihin po ba nun is "ONCE APPROVED" na ung nomination ng employer need to apply within 6 months? or ung 6 months na duration eh tatakbo once inapply na ni Employer ung nomination kahit hindi pa approved?....
thank you po sa makakasagot
Joined: Jan 03, 2023
magstart ang countdown para sa '6months limit' AFTER APPROVAL ng nomination. though you can lodge your visa na kahit wala pang approval sa nomination as long as makukuha mo na yung TRN sa employer mo.
in my case, sabay na ni-lodge ni agent both employer nomination and my visa application.
almost 4months waiting na din ako since June 2023 kame nakalodged.
cheers!

Not sure if this is the right thread, pero since employer related.
I just had to ask saan po or how kayo nakahanap ng employer willing to sponsor you? May website ba ng list ng employers na nagiisponsor ng visas. Or you just happened to see it sa LinkedIn or Seek?
I’ve tried applying din sa mga job ads sa seek pero most would not continue once they see that you do not have a working rights or visa.
Any tips? I recently sent a resume din sa isang company stating that I need sponsorship and has valid skills assessment and english requirements.
