Ask ko lang what if di ka pumasa sa assessment ng skills mo? Kase for my position as Sales manager, napaka complex nman ng duties and resposibilities na nakalagay. As in Senior Management position talaga. Meron ba may idea about this?

Pano nga pala yang sa assessment eh need ng organizational chart, job detailed responsibilities kahit previous employer, eh yung dati ko na company na buy out na, kaya di na sya existing. San ako papagawa ng statutoru declaration for this?

@jim, syempre dapat i-calculate mo na kung papasa ka o hindi read on nga pala rules in assessment ng assessing body mo muna bago ka magpa assess.

I need your help kc prang wla yta sa nominated occupation ng SOL un present job ng husband ko, bale ECE grad. sya from PUP.
Experience:
Nov. 2007-present Broadcast Engineer (Middle East) 4 yrs.
May 2003 – Nov. 2007 Telecommunications Engineer (Middle East) 4 ½ yrs.
June 1997 – April 2003 Optical System Engineer (Phils.)
Oct. 1992 – May 1997 Electronics & Communication Engineer II (Phils.) 4 yrs.& 7 mos.
1. Ang nasa SOL Telecommunications Engineer - ANZSCO Code 263311, ok lng ba na yan ang ipa-assess nya sa IEA? Ang plano kc nmin visa 475 (State Sponsorship) ang ilolodged nmin sa DIAC pra khit sana mka band 7 sya sa IELTS kumpleto na ang 65 pts. nmin
2. Tayo ba ang mag mag-aapply ng State Sponsorhip? Mhirap o mtagal ba mkakuha nito?
3. Ilang months na ba ang processing if Visa 475 ang illodged nmin? Sbi kc ng agency nung nagpa-assess kmi IELTS muna then skill assessment, DIAC etc. total dw 1 yr. My nbasa kc aq sa site ng DIAC na bagong processing times 18 mos. na ba kc affected dw ng processing priorities. Mag-44 na kc husband ko sa Feb. e next month pa lng sya mage-exam ng IELTS, kung magiging successful sna ang IELTS nya pipilitin ko agad mkapag-skill assessment then lodged na ng application sa DIAC. Ang sbi kc ng agency dpat dw b4 sya mag-45 my visa na kmi. Kng totoong 18 mos. na nga ang processing, cguro back-out na kami kc aabutin na un bday ng husband ko sa 2013, medyo malaki-laki din kc ang ilalabas na pera sayang nman kung mapupunta lang din sa wala.
Please tulong nman po, paki tulungan nyo nman aq magresearch tungkol d2.
Thank you…………..

assess ko ang points mo (mangingialam lang hehehe walang basagan ng trip)
15 = age
10 = IELTS (target 7 band)
15 = Overseas Work Experience (8.5 yrs as telecom engr)
15 = Overseas Work experience ( if PRC licensed engineer)
10 = 475 State Sponsorship
====
65
Go ! advice ko mag-hire kayo ng Registered Migration aGent kung gusto nyo humabol ng before July 2012. Agent nyo na ang mag-assist sa inyo for IELTS, skills assessment, state sponsorship application at visa lodgment. Mahal ang gastos kung may migration agent pero yun lang last resort nyo para makahabol.
Wag mong intindihin ang processing time. Basta nakapag-lodge na ang mister mo ng application sa Diac bago mag 46 yrs old. Safe na kayo. Mabilis lang ang 475. Meron nga dito less than an month lang visa grant na.

Nung nbasa ko un timeframe ng mga ksama ntin d2 sa forum prang lumakas loob ko, majority yta “online assesstment” lng. Pero nung nbasa ko un 18 mos. na processing prang nadisappoint nko, nagwoworry kc aq bk wlang mangyari.
Anyway, since bnigyan nyo nman aq ng go signal to continue, cge diretso kmi but we prefer to go sa online assesstment na lng. Basa2 na lng cguro and mangungulit na lng aq d2 sa forum from time to time kng anong next step, hehehe. Medyo mbigat kc sa pocket ang charge pag maghhire pa kmi ng migration agent, imagine agent pa lng P120k na tpos biglang abutan nung bagong 18 mos. na processing, whaaaaaaah nag-45 na dyowa ko! Pray, pray, pray na lng.
Goodluck na lng sa ating lahat,
45-49 zero point. hahaha grabe ka @heyits7me_mags wag nman 50 yrs. old my tungkod na asawa ko non eh. Grabeng band score din sa IELTS ang kailangan nya pg nagpa abot pa sya ng gnyang age, di na kya ng powers nya un, hehehe......

To tell you, the 18 months processing time of DIAC is an improved timeline already. As far as I remember, dati 24-36 months yan. And mind you, nowadays, mabilis magprocess ang DIAC so it means shorter than 18 months pa. Example, yung mga nag-lodge online ng Visa 175 nung April 2011 to June 2011, pinaprocess na ngayon or meron ng mga assigned COs. Parang average of 6-8 months lang. Tapos kung makakakuha pa kayo ng state sponsorship, mga 3-4 months lang or mas mabilis pa. Better check my posts sa Processing Updates thread. Naglalagay ako ng trends dun kapag may update na si DIAC ng allocation dates para makita ng mga aspiring and waiting applicants yung speed ng processing. To further encourage you to apply, here is an example for 175.
175 Visa Application Updates:
As of Dec. 09 - Apr. 30, 2011

Salamat po ng madami, hehe. At least nalinawan na ako. Mas maganda kasi sigurado sa mga isusulat. Hehe. Thanks,
Napansin ko po visa 176 kyo, meron kasi ako uncle dun pro naisip ko 175 na lng na visa kunin kasi wala nman points or bearing kapag sponsored right? Or you think meron ba? Same dn nman na 65 points ang passing kasi. Tpos bka hassle pa sa kanya mag-fill up ng forms.

Ah oo nga tama ka, okay pala dati kasi mas mababa required points, kapag sponsored. Gusto ko din sana dati kaso hindi pa ako abot that time sa work experience required ng ACS. Sayang.

1. Your nominated occupation should be in SOL 1.
2. Your uncle lives in REGIONAL area.
3. Your visa class is 475. You will get 10 points for relative-sponsored-regional.
