General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

amethyst07 · December 2023

Hello po, would like to seek an advice po. I just submitted my docs for skills/employment assessment to CPA AU. With the average processing time, it might take 3-4mos before I get the result. By that time, I would already be married. Is it advisable to process po muna yung mga marriage certificate, then name/status change sa mga IDs particularly sa passport, before I lodge EOI? I am also planning to retake my PTE Exam, so I'd like to ask po if I will wait na mapalitan ung surname name ko sa passport muna before I can book for PTE para yung new name na po ang mag-appear sa score report? Thank you so much po sa mga insights! 🤗

Make sure lang bago ka mag lodge ng EOI, married kana, at ayusin mo lahat ng docs mo na kailangan baguhin ang surname mo.

Sa PTE naman, pwede ka mag email sa pearson, na mag rerequest ka para ma edit mo ung name mo, then kapag ok na, kahit ung mga previous exam mo sa pte, download ka lang ng bago, ang mag aappear na ung bagong name mo.

Has anyone migrated to Australia as an aged care worker via Visa subclass 186 ? Just wondering if you had to use an agent and how much it cost ?

Hello po! I’d like to ask if pwede po gamitin yung old HAP ID ko (taken last June 2023 for visa 476) to use for visa 190 application? Thank you

milkthea · December 2023

Hi po. Paano po kaya namin mauupdate yung NSW about the end date of our previous work? Magbibigay po ba kami ng COE? For Visa 491. Salamat po

Pre invite po

for NSW, di na po pwede iupdate EOI once na invite

Ozdrims · December 2023

Max that you can do is update NSW CO about your changes in circumstances. Tama si @casssie no more update in EOI is allowed pag na invite na po.

Hello. Anong mode of payment po ang ginamit niyo sa pag-lodge ng visa? Ano po recommended? Debit card lang po kasi ang meron ako sa ngayon and hindi po abot ng BPI ko yun one-time transaction na babayaran. Ang mahal kasi ng visa fee. Thank you po.

Ok po, thank you!
Pwede ko po ba gamitin yun same COE na ginamit ko nung ACS application dated back in Dec 2022?
Kasi po ngaun, wala nako sa company at yun latest COE na nakuha ko meron ng end date. Whereas dun sa COE from Dec 2022, walang pong end date.
Sa EOI po naman, wala rin end date kasi current job ko po yun during the EOI submission.

Thank you po!

May option pala sa BPI online to increase yun purchase limit up to 250k. I just did. Pero Payment Failed Declined. Mukhang kailangan ko magexplore ng ibang mode of payment.

Inform them by email once na nagkaroon na kayo ng Application Reference ,
Yung latest na lang po na COE , as you need the currency of your work status to be updated.

Sorry. I guess di lang ako nagbabasa nang maayos dahil sa kaba. May kailangan pala i-tick sa BPI online para maging effective yun 250k purchase limit. Something about e-commerce. Anyway, Paid na!

By the way, based sa ibang groups okay lang na naglodge na wala pa NBI clearance and to follow na lang sa pag-upload? Ganun kasi ginawa ko. Inupload ko na lang receipts and then i-upload ko yun NBI once received ko na - hopefully tomorrow.

kelan po ba kayo nag last day sa company nyo? sabi po nyo hindi nyo po na-update ang EOI nyo ng end date, magbabago po ba points nyo pag i-update nyo sya? U will need to submit the latest COE mo since 1 yr ago na yung COE na sinubmit mo sa ACS.

Hello, thanks po @mnlz2023 and @Ozdrims .
nung August po ako naglast day pero hndi ko na na-update yun EOI ko. In terms of points, wala naman po mababago. sige po, isusubmit ko na lng yun bagong COE with end date. Hndi naman po siguro magiging basis yun ng disqualification?

Hi po. Curious lang po.. mag ask lang po. Sa pag lodge ng visa kailangan na po ba agad bayaran ang visa fee ng main applicant at ng lahat ng dependent po like husband and kids na kasama po sa application? We’re family of five po kasi and hindi rin abot ang credit limit ng card ko pag nagkataon sa isang transaction. Salamat po.
