    Kami po ay family of 3 and we are trying to save up mga 2M pesos for our BM. Nag-iipon po kami sa pamamagitan ng hindi pag-reresign at pagtitiis muna sa current work para may pera parin na pumapasok haha. :D Iniisip kasi namin bumili agad ng kotse kung kaakyanin kasi napaka-essential nun to move around to find a place to stay (viewing of homes) and to travel for job interviews. Not sure if enough parin yung amount na yun dahil depende talaga kung gaano kabilis mkakahanap ng work.

    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.

    Age: 15
    English Language Ability: 20
    Education: 15

    Partner Qualification (English): 5
    Total: 75 points

    Hi everyone, I am currently waiting for an update in Visa 189. I was invited on 06Oct22 with 65 points (actually 60 points). EA only assessed my Bachelor's Degree as Associate Degree (which I can claim only 10 points) due to No PRC License. Civil Engineer ako btw, I lodged my application and claimed Bachelors Degree in order to get the 15 points. I read in the bottom of my EA assessment na DHA pa din yun magdedecide sa pag award ng points kaya nag claim pa din ako ng Bachelors and nag attached ng some relevant documents para ma prove yun Bachelors degree ko.

    25Mar23 - I received S56, i was expecting that it will be about my degree, but No, they only asked me for the medical of my 3 years old daughter na nag change ng passport. (My status immediately changed into Initial Assessment)

    04Apr23 - Nag submit na ako ng result ng 2nd medical ng daughter ko, right after my status changed into Further Assessment.

    Btw, nag send ako ng form para sa changes in circumstances kc bigla naging wrong spelling un name ko sa EA account ko.

    02May23 - I found out that they already corrected the spelling of my name sa IMMI Account but still the status is Further Assessment.

    Worried lang ako if may marereceived pa ba ako 2nd CO contact after this. May naka experience na po ba ng same saken. Over claimed po ako ng 5 points if based sa documents.

    Points Breakdown:
    Age: 25 points (I'm turning 39yo in few more days)
    Study: 15 points (As per EA assessment, I can only claim 10 points as Associate Degree)
    Exp: 15 points (In my RSEA they counted all my experience at that time which is 14yrs+)
    English: 10 points (barely gets proficient)
    Spouse: 0 points (I didn't claim for this, we just attached his CEMI)

    We are Family of 4.

    Gusto na sana namin mag prepare for big moves pero worried pa din ako sa magiging outcome. :(

    I wouldn't worry about it since the awarding of points is still the discretion of the immigration department. They don't have to follow the points assessment advice of the skils assessment body. I don't think you committed fraud here. You were forthcoming naman about what your degree was and hindi mo rin tinago yung points assessment ng EA.

Nag-iipon po kami sa pamamagitan ng hindi pag-reresign at pagtitiis muna sa current work para may pera parin na pumapasok haha. :D Iniisip kasi namin bumili agad ng kotse kung kaakyanin kasi napaka-essential nun to move around to find a place to stay (viewing of homes) and to travel for job interviews. Not sure if enough parin yung amount na yun dahil depende talaga kung gaano kabilis mkakahanap ng work.

    More tiis po saatin, para more ipon din haha! :D

    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.

    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).

    Paano po ba na dedetermine if priority ang application?

    Yan po :-)

    Skilled visa applications are processed in the following order of priority:​
    Visa applications in relation to a healthcare or teaching occupation.
    For employer sponsored visas, visa applications where the applicant is nominated by an Approved sponsor with Accredited Status.
    Visa applications in relation to an occupation to be carried out in a designated regional area.
    For permanent and provisional visa subclasses, visa applications that count towards the migration program, excluding the Subclass 188 (Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional)) visa.

    Kelan ba usually nagkakaroon ng CO contact, lodged onshore (189 - 261111 ICT Business Analyst 85 pts) nung 21 Dec 2022, 188 days (6 monts) as of posting this message.

    Based sa mga nakikita kong posts, nasa Dec na yung processing nila ng non-prio applications. So dapat within this month or next month, either may CO contact na or finalized na yung application

    Paano po ba na dedetermine if priority ang application?

    Yan po :-)

    Skilled visa applications are processed in the following order of priority:​
    Visa applications in relation to a healthcare or teaching occupation.
    For employer sponsored visas, visa applications where the applicant is nominated by an Approved sponsor with Accredited Status.
    Visa applications in relation to an occupation to be carried out in a designated regional area.
    For permanent and provisional visa subclasses, visa applications that count towards the migration program, excluding the Subclass 188 (Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional)) visa.
    All other visa applications.​
