    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.

    This is for 10 year history address, I guess Q17. If in this timeline u mostly stayed in KSA, then put the KSA addresses, if in the Philippines it's a visit for holidays, you indicate that in the Travel Section. For me I input all UAE addresses since I stayed here for more than 10 years and my holiday visit in the Philippines for a month each year, I put it in the travel section. Hope it helps.

    Hello po! I’m trying to fill out Form 80 just in case it will be asked for. Regarding po sa address: OFW po pla ako currently residing in KSA and at the same time meron dn permanent address sa pinas. Pwede po ba na 2 ang current address? Thank you po.

    This is for 10 year history address, I guess Q17. If in this timeline u mostly stayed in KSA, then put the KSA addresses, if in the Philippines it's a visit for holidays, you indicate that in the Travel Section. For me I input all UAE addresses since I stayed here for more than 10 years and my holiday visit in the Philippines for a month each year, I put it in the travel section. Hope it helps.

    Yes po for Q17. So if I started my work here in KSA April 2015, yung address ko sa Ph is until March 2015 lang po?

    Para sa kin ay yes po, ganun nga po. Dyan po yta sa Q17 ibabase yun required mo na kuhanin na Police clearance. Kagaya po sa akin ay UAE PCC lng ang required sa kin at no need na un NBI. Sa case mo ay probably you need both NBI and KSA PCC.

    3.5 YEARS IN THE MAKING

    FINALLY RECEIVED OUR 189 VISA!

    Primary applicant: Developer Programmer, 85pts-189, Offshore
    Dependents : Spouse (me), 1 child
    Processing time from lodge : 385 days

    2021-Apr : EOI (chose QLD)
    2022-Dec-08 : ITA received
    2023-Jan-24 : Lodged (chose VIC)
    2023-Apr-24 : Med clearance
    2023-Sep-26 : Initial Assessment (s56-update NBI clearance)
    2023-Oct-18 : Further Assessment (no more CO contact)
    2024-Feb-13: VISA GRANT, 189!

    No Form 80. S56 request - update NBI clearance.
    DIY all the way! All based on this forum and AU Immi website which is very straightforward.

    Thank you so much for building this helpful community! Will be eternally grateful sa honest and detailed na info dito πŸ™ŒπŸ»

    3.5 years in the making kasi my husband and I started doing our research in August 2020, months after our wedding, right when we got our PSA wedding certificate. So you can say that this is our first project as a married couple. Our plan was to start a family, a new life abroad, but God plans otherwise. We received our ITA just when we got home from the hospital after giving birth to our first child last December 2022 😭

    So we had to wait for our newborn's PSA birth certificate to be released para maasikaso na rin Passport nya which is a requirement sa medical clearance, kaya April 2023 na namin natapos lahat ng requirements.

    To be honest, okay din na we had to wait for 2 years bago maka-receive ng ITA. We were able to transfer to good jobs during the waiting period, with good bosses I might add. My husband's employer has Melbourne office so praying may opening by 2025. While my boss assures me na mag-oopen sya ng role sa AU office namin once ready na daw ako magwork (bcos I plan to be a full-time homemaker for a few years as we're settling).

    Nakakaiyak 'no? We're not expecting everything to be smooth sailing but it shows na nasa plano talaga ng Diyos pag-migrate namin sa Oz! πŸ˜­πŸ™ŒπŸ»

    Praise God our long-time prayer is already answered (and more)! See you dyan, mga kabayan! Planning on moving by Feb-2025 ~

    Congratulations po!!!! Grabe po yun journey nyo. Nakakainspire. :)
    Pwede po magtanong? Ano po yun mga tests na ginawa sa inyo and sa child nun nagpa-medical po kayo sa SATA AMK?

    Thank you, glad that I was able to inspire you. πŸ™‚

    Regarding the tests, my wife and I had the following tests: blood pressure, eye sight, urine for glucose and blood for TB.

    For our child, she had the same. We opted for the blood test for TB instead of the skin test for her. It was more pricey but our doctor said that it was faster and more accurate.

    I hope this helps. Good luck on your journey. πŸ™‚

    Regarding the tests, my wife and I had the following tests: blood pressure, eye sight, urine for glucose and blood for TB.

    For our child, she had the same. We opted for the blood test for TB instead of the skin test for her. It was more pricey but our doctor said that it was faster and more accurate.

    I hope this helps. Good luck on your journey. πŸ™‚

    Depende siya. Samin kasi walang xray na required. If meron sayo, kelangan mo siya talaga gawin.

    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.
