General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

mathilde9 · August 2023

These are what I uploaded:

Service letter
Tax document
Payslips
Resume

Hi! Are these basically the docs I submitted during the skills assessment and append docs nalang for current employment if kasama sa points claimed yun? Thanks!

Basically you just need to evidence all the points you claimed. Yung current employment mo was part of your skill assessment?

Hello! Ask ko lang anong proof ng employment ang required pag lodge ng visa? Yung reference letter ba, pwede na yon? Or may iba pang hinihingi?

Sorry, I forgot. Depende po pala anong assessing body kayo. Specifically for ACS po yung sinend ko.

Hi @casssie, this is for skills assessment. Yung concern ko po is during lodging of visa after ma-invite? If anong proof of employment yung reqt? ☺️ Thanks

Simply put, kung ano yung ginamit mo sa skills assessment na evidence at ni-claim ng points yun lang rin gagamitin for visa application.

For current employment (na kasama sa skills assessment and claimed points for), mas ok kung magdagdag ng most recent evidence like tax returns, paylips, govt contributions (SSS, PAG-IBIG, etc). You know the drill.

Ilan pong bullet nung job description/details per job nyo?

Atleast 5 job description. Naalala ko nung may agent pako before sa pag kuha ng vetassess, i submitted 4 job description. Binalik niya sakin at pinagawang 5.para daw di bumalik

Got this! Thanks everyone. Would like to know din if meron kayo inputs kung pano mag request ng reference letter sa current employer without disclosing yung reason na for skills assessment sya? Yung HR namin tinatanong yung reason kung saan gagamitin yung COE na may special format kasi nilalagay nila yung reason sa mismong COE. Naisip kong pwde ko sana iexcuse na for further studies but yun nga, nilalagay kasi nila yung reason doon sa COE. Sana meron makapag share dito pano kayo ng request.

For "Skills Assessment / Certification" nilagay ko. Hindi na ako nagdagdag ng other details like Country nor nilagay ko yung ACS as assessor. 😅

Need ba ng current employment sa visa lodging? What if naka break ako from working, like a gap year? My last employment ended june 2022. VETASSESS gave me 9.3years sa points test advice from feb2013-jun2022. And i did not work after that kasi nagpapahinga ako, and enrolled in a school in Australia. I lodged my EOI for 190 in different states and now waiting for their nomination and invitation. Upon visa lodging, do i need to be employed, more specifically sa nominated occupation?

theamarie23 · August 2023

Hi all, sana po may makapag confirm nito.
I reviewed back my EOI details while waiting for an invite to avoid inconsistencies.
Question ko lang po if sakto ba yung pagkakalagay ko sa family member details,
secondary applicant ko po yung defacto partner ko.

1 Family member = Defacto Partner

Maraming salamat in advance.

Nope. That doesnt matter. You only need to prove the career episodes you claimed points for in the invited EOI during the visa application.

Need ko po ng advise kase sa Oct po ika 5yrs working ko na po and balak ko na po mag freelancing para naka wfh andd makatipid po ako. Ang worry ko po is di ko po ba pwede iclaim yung working years ko as a freelancer? thanks po

alphawolf · August 2023

Hi po! I would like to ask if anong mas better gawin. Since I am already working as a Chemical Engineer for 4 years already, is it okay to be assessed by EA right now or maghintay ako na mag 5 years experience muna para makakuha ng 10 points instead of 5 points sa work experience. (Sa June 2024 po ako mag 5 years). Thank you po in advance sa mga responses!

Ozdrims · August 2023

You can choose to get assessed it now , they will still deduct some duration if im not wrong . You can still get 5 years once you reach that mark during the course of your EOI ,DHA is solely responsible for awarding points. Just prove your employment with evidences.

EA does not deduct points. Get assessed now and skillselect will just self calculate once you reach 5 years. Best to get your EOI out there sooner than later, you may still get invited with 5 points work experience. Waiting to reach 5 years is just a waste of time.

Hi po, ask ko lang kung ano po need na supporting document for claiming experience during lodging an EOI. Sapat na po kaya yung Reference letter ng ginamit sa RSEA saka yung outcome ng RSEA?

aa_20 · August 2023

good day po, ask lang kung pwede mag statutory declaration sa portfolio ko sa first job ko, since confidential yung details ng company and yung product na na design namin, hindi pumayag si company makakuha ako ng copy 2013 to 2015 pa yun. also ask na rin po pano format ng statutory declaration. many thanks po sa sasagot

Usually wala pang supporting documents na sinusubmit sa EOI stage but you would need to provide the details of your positive skill assessment.

Good day everyone.
I have a concern lang. I'll break it down in points for easier understanding:
1. SO currently is working as an Early Childhood Teacher for 1.7 years already.
2. SO is below 25 years old.
3. SO has a Bachelor in Special Needs Education with Specialization in Teaching Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Learners.
4. Problem: SO plans to undergo skills assessment within the next few months and assumes to have around 65 points ( since below 25 years old).

Main concern and question would be: Since the work experience of SO currently is with Early Childhood, and SO's degree is in the field of Special Needs Education, which Subclass should SO choose? Special Need Teacher ANZSCO 241511 OR Early Childhood (Pre-primary School) Teacher ANZSCO 241111 ?

Thank you so much!

Go with the best chances of getting invited
Your degree was invited once last year and there were too few invites (5-10?) issued at that one round, while your experience as an EC Teacher got invited a minimum of 65 in every round.

Could you give me your opinion on something? I'm wondering if it's possible for me to pass my skill assessment with Engineers Australia even though my I have at least two 5.0 on my TOR. There's this instance where I failed to prioritize school due to personal problems, but I'm confident that I can demonstrate my skills and experience effectively through my current work. What do you think?

They don't care about your grades as long as you completed the degree (degree awarded), have a PRC, and CDR.

Hello, thank you for your response po . Unfortunately, we do not possess a PRC license. However, our school is recognized as a Section 1 accredited institution in Australia.

neverland2020 · August 2023

Hello po. Just wanted to ask about work experience sa EOI.

Can I claim points for relevant work experience that I gained after my skills assessment in a different company? I changed jobs while waiting for my result, so my assessment doesn't include any of my experience from my current job.

If no, do I need to get re-assessed?

If yes, does that mean I can simply add it in and say that it's related to my nominated occupation?

Also, if I claim points for it, will I eventually have to provide the same employment evidence documents as in my skills assessment? (payslips, tax docs, etc.)

When filling up Employment History, if same company, but different role, is it correct to make separate entries? I had a previous role that is not relevant to the nominated occupation.

Thank you!

PRC is not essential as long as the institution is listed on section 1

Hi newbie here. We're still on the research stage and would like to ask ano po kaya best approach for my family's case.

Me (32) and the wife (33) are planning to migrate with our 6 mos. old child.

I am currently working as a registered chemist with 12 years experience. My wife graduated as a nurse. Her work experience as a nurse is mga 3 years lang siguro and lasted til 2016 lang. Since then she worked on a totally different field na. Her oldest experience would be more than 10 years na and based on initial research won't be assessed by ANMAC.

Our plan for now would be for me to apply as main applicant with my wife and child as dependents. Planning to apply for visas 189, 190 & 491. Depende kung saan papalarin. Pag pinalad nga and we got settled na in AU, she will study to become a RN.

Please advise kung ano best approach for our case. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Mabuhay!
