    1. Any idea po kung magko close this January 2024 yung VIC EOI?

    1. For this year, when is the best time to apply for a state nomination from VIC?

    I'm worried na masaraduhan sa invitation sa 190 sa VIC.

    I'm currently living in Victoria for almost 2 years.

    Actually, I got my positive skills assessment from aitsl na,
    pero waiting pa rin po sa Skilled Employment Statement (SES) from AITSL.
    I am a Secondary Mathematics Teacher po, with more than 5 years work experience,
    so nasa ANZCO 241411 po occupation ko.

    Thank you so much po sa sasagot.. God bless..

    1) Base sa remaining allocations looks like not closing sooner they still have about 1k nominations for the remaining FY
    2) Best time is now ,time is gold
    3) Worry will not get you invited ,applying and trying lang po , make the most out of it since your onshore
    4) Skills Assessment is positive then you can claim points for education , SES is optional in case of VIC you can still provide that later on for work experience
    5) Your occupation is in priority so expect invites are favorable ,but again ask more questions sa isang thread dito , Filipino Teachers in Australia?

    1. Do you mean po, pwede na ako mag apply ng visa 190 kahit di ko pa po nareceive yung SES from AITSL?
      I thought kasi para ma-count yung points ko sa work experience, need ko i-provide yung SES...

    Kindly enlighten me on this...Thank you in advance..

    Yes you can lodge an EOI already

    Is similar in nature for other occupations
    is optional to get your employment experience assessed , it does not stop you fr submitting an EOI

    Question po, paano po ako makaka claim ng points sa work experience ko po na more than 5 yrs, if wala pong SES?

    thank you so much sa response! so helpful po sa akin.

    Ahm, Wait ko lang yung pte test ng husband ko po this week.
    Then, mag apply na po ako ng ROI.
    Pero, need po ba yung SES para sa work experience na points?
    Yan po ang hinihintay ko na i-release ng aitsl sakin..nagsubmit ako agad ng SES application pagkareceive ko ng positive skills assessment nung December..

    Which is better to apply po, 190 o 189?

    if you will claim points from hubby , i think will not able to get any because of the age , double check nio na lang din po

    Good luck

    Tama lang po ba na ganito yung sagot pag nag lodge ng 190 visa?

    Background: Worked for the company for 3 years, but since ACS deducted 2 years of experience,
    Created a separate entry for those 2 years and answered 'No' sa questions if I am claiming points and is it relevant to the current occupation.

    Then added a separate entry dun sa 1 year experience na deemed skilled ng ACS, and answered 'Yes' sa questions if I am claiming points and is it relevant to the current occupation.

    ACS deduction is for the eligibility to be considered that you are working at the skill level required, if work is related then answer as yes ,and you are not claiming due to ACS not counting the experience - answer as no

    Kapag po ba Visa 491 and after 3 years where I can apply for PR, need ba yung naging work ko sa regional area, is related sa occupation that I declared. Example: Chem Engg ako but yung naging work ko related sa sales? Thank you!

    You can be sales or work any full time job, anything you want , even uber driver will do.

    Thank you for the info. the only requirement is the salary cap? I think I read it somewhere.

    Thank you for this document. Very informative, however, follow up question lng po. How about po ung pinirmahan or nag-agree sa statement ng state sponsor na need to stay a min of 2 years kapag nabigyan ng normination. Bale nde pedeng maging valid or nde pede na i-ristrict tayo ng state kasi mas strong ung evidence to support e2ng document po na binigay nyo under 8579 condition?

    Kapag po ba Visa 491 and after 3 years where I can apply for PR, need ba yung naging work ko sa regional area, is related sa occupation that I declared. Example: Chem Engg ako but yung naging work ko related sa sales? Thank you!

    You can be sales or work any full time job, anything you want , even uber driver will do.

    Thank you for the info. the only requirement is the salary cap? I think I read it somewhere.

    No income requirement na. You need to show evidence that you've stayed in a DRA and present 3 tax assessements since granting.

    Is it allowed by law po ba na mag-stay sa DRA while doing a remote work for a company located in non-DRA e.g. Sydney or Melbourne? If yes, meron po ba link kyo for any official documents to support this? just wanted to read further po about this :-) lol . Thank you po.

    Yes, it's allowed

    Thank you for this document. Very informative, however, follow up question lng po. How about po ung pinirmahan or nag-agree sa statement ng state sponsor na need to stay a min of 2 years kapag nabigyan ng normination. Bale nde pedeng maging valid or nde pede na i-ristrict tayo ng state kasi mas strong ung evidence to support e2ng document po na binigay nyo under 8579 condition?

    The document only supports working for a company not based in a DRA, but it doesn't necessarily say whether you can transfer out from your sponsor State. It's an entirely separate discussion.

    THank you po. Some say na it just a moral obligation lng daw po but not law obligated. Hopefully meron pong makapag-bigay ng official document that moving to a different state will not penalize you for your PR applicaiton.

    May nakagawa naman na yan at may anecdotal evidence at na PR naman, but that document i think will be counter -productive to every state who is issuing the nomination , but again , if you move- that is on your own accord when the options are exhausted, just get a clearance from the state dahil state obligation sya, in doing that they may release you.

    Im applying for Visa 491 po sa SA, kaya lang they required job contract. Normally po kasi sa Pinas, wala naman job contract when you are hired here. What document can I upload as aternative? Will COE ( Ceritificate of Employment ) do? Thank you.

    Hello, ask ko lang if meron dito na nagpa-assess sa 2 occupation sa ACS.

    Question lang - did you use same documents to submit?

    I submitted for Business Analyst and im planning to submit for Software Engineer. Wondering if constraint na sa documents na pinasa for Business Analyst? For my case kasi madali lang magpa-approve ng roles and responsibilities for COE.

    Hope someone can share experience.

    Thank you 🙏🏻

    @renan1980 fit for release na ☝️it is a possible breach of human rights convention laws that Australia has signed internationally to restrict a visa holder into one state or regional area , it is stated in the explanatory notes of the legislation , by right you don’t need permission at all to move from state/ territory haha

    Hi, I recently had to change my EOI because I have a new position in the same company. I was wondering if I need to also change the details in my ROI for SA? Kasi walang edito dun, withdraw lang ang nakalagay and status is lodged. I know na mahirap din naman mainvite sa SA, pero nagbabakasakali since pasok ako sa Highly Skilled nila since may experience ako sa renewables.

    In the ROI for SA do you specifically provide details of employment just like when you make an EOI or SA will refer to the EOI itself?

    Mayroon pong details ng job and currently working in that position po na nakalagay.

    I think I should withdraw it po and relodge my ROI.

    hello Guys,

    I was recently granted my 491 for Northern Territory.

    arrive by 06 February 2025

    Must not arrive after 06 February 2029

    For first entry, arrive by 06 February 2025
    Does it mean that I really need to enter by 06 February 2025 or this is just the start date validity of my entry?

    Must not arrive after 06 February 2029
    My understanding is, I don't really have to arrive on the 6th of Feb, I can enter anytime between 06 February 2025 to 06 February 2029.

    I am also concerned about the availability of Jobs for Network Engineers in Darwin.

    Thank you in advance for your insights.

    Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6.

    AFAIK your first entry should be made before Feb 2025. It doesn't have to be a long stay initially.

    Are there any repercussions if I don't do the initial before that date?
