Hello, I am an Industrial Engineer (PUP Sta. Mesa BSIE Batch 2013) currently employed in the UAE with my family. I specialize in the Logistics and Supply Chain industry and hold the position of Logistics Engineer Consultant. My family and I are planning to relocate to Australia.
To my fellow Industrial Engineers, could you please share your experiences, guides, and any tips or information that could assist in the relocation process to Australia? Additionally, I am seeking assistance with the Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) for Engineers Australia assessment, as well as insights on the 189 and 190 Visa processes, PTE and IELTS examination tips, and advice on navigating the point system.
Let this forum and Q&A serve as a guiding resource for other aspiring applicants who dream of making the big move. Thank you in advance. 🙏

Some states still have remaining allocations this FY. And the fed is yet to issue their remaining skilled independent invites (first one was Dec 2023). Let's hope for the best.

Good morning! 😊
Let’s chat about the Australian states and their invitation rounds, shall we? 🌟
NSW: Ah, the mysterious NSW! They’ve been hoarding those allocations like a squirrel with its acorns. 🐿️ But fear not, they’re just playing it cool. Expect some surprise rounds until the very last moment. They promised June 2024, and they’re sticking to their word. 🗓️
SA: Picture this: SA sending invites like a secret admirer slipping notes under your door. 💌 Nicodemously, indeed! 🤫
VIC: Consistency is their middle name! 🎯 VIC has been dishing out invites all year long. They’re like the reliable friend who always remembers your birthday. 🎂
QLD: Honestly, QLD is the wild card. 🎴 We’re all scratching our heads, wondering what they’re up to. Maybe they’re planning a surprise party? 🎉
NT: NT? More like “I dun even care” territory. 🤷♂️ They’re probably sipping coconut water on a beach somewhere, blissfully unaware.
ACT: ACT is like that strict librarian who shushes you if you breathe too loudly. 📚 But hey, rules are rules, right?
WA: Closed for the year! 🚫 They’ve hung up the “Gone Fishing” sign. 🎣
TAS: Do they still give invites? 🤔 It’s like asking if unicorns exist. 🦄 But hey, miracles happen, right? 🌈
So there you have it, my friend! Keep your eyes peeled, stay positive, and who knows? Maybe TAS will surprise us all with a magical invite! 🎩✨

Hi guys,
Nag-DDIY po kami ng husband ko for our Visa 190 application. Gumawa po kami ng statement of service (COE) following the template provided by vetassess. Now, our questions are:
Plano papirmahan ng husband ko yung SOS/COE sa previous direct supervisor niya which is his manager nung time na yun kaso yung position and company ngayon ni manager ay sa ibang employer na. Ano po ilalagay na position title under sa name ni manager/referee? Yung previous po ba niya position during his tenure or yung present na po?
Yung sa date po, need po ba yun i antidate or kahit yung present date po ang ilalagay.
Sana may makasagot dito na may same experience. Iniiwasan lang po namin na magkamali. Salamat po sa makakatulong!

1. i would follow yung position niya during the time under husband mo dun. you can mention that in the coe/stat declaration - I, XXXX XXX, with passport XXXXXX and was previously employed by XXX as XXXX from XXX - XXXX duly attest / certify that XXXX XXX with PP number XXXX XXX then mention mo na lahat ng details:
good to mention bakit previous direct sup ang pipirma at hindi yung company. (closure of company, tried to request from company but not responsive etc)

Pwede ma invite ng 2 or more states basta active pa mga EOI mo. Yung iba dito, nagwwait bago mainvite ng target state/subclass. So nagccancel sila ng ongoing visa application or nagdedefer ng nomination/application.
Yung iba naman grab na agad kung ano dumating kasi nga super liit lang ng naging allocation this FY. Ganyan lang din ginawa ko, bahala na kung sino maginvite. Haha. Thankfully yung target state ko naman (nsw) nagsend ng invite.

If you created separate EOIs for each State, then yes it's possible. Pero sa ngayon, medyo risky na maghintay sa gusto mong State so might as well go with whatever invite you receive first.

maybe next FY, since closed na QLD
your occupation got invited last month at 90 pts
while waiting, try adding NAATI for +5pts tapos pa-assess na din si partner for +10pts. that will give you a total of 90 pts. max out what you can max out and hopefully, QLD's new FY requirements will favor you. good luck po!

Question lang po, nakita ko kasi na mandatory yung submission ng bank statement at employment contract sa NSW when invited kaso nga lang sa first employer ko, hindi ko na naitabi yung employment contract, wala na rin bank statement since yung payroll ko before ay sa UCPB (na nagmerge na with landbank). Ang sinubmit ko lang sa accessing authority ko (CPA Australia) ay employment reference, ITR and SSS/Pagibig. Enough na po ba yun or wag ko na lang i-declare yung first employer ko? Thank you po.

you can submit the same files that you submitted for skills assessment. NSW will ask for additional info if the ones that you submitted will not suffice.

Hi everyone, I'm checking the 491 visa and considering the Family Sponsored stream. Now, my brother is a PR in QLD - Brisbane which I know is not a designated regional area. But when I checked this link, naka asterisk yung postcode ng Brisbane which is 4076. Ngayon, dun sa baba ng page may naka note na *Postcodes not applicable to visas granted before 5 March 2022. para sa mga naka-asterisk na postalcodes. So does this mean na AFTER March 5, 2022, valid na si 4076?

According to AusPost, Brisbane is 4000, not 4076

Hello. Question po. May visa 491 po kami nagrant nung Nov-2023, pero due to personal reasons, sa Mar-2025 pa kami makakalipat ng AU. Nakapag 1st entry na kami last Mar-2024.
Ngayon po, nakareceive kami ng email from DHA na magupdate kami ng residential address sa AU via immiacct. Eh since wala pa kami sa AU, pahelp lang po pano kaya kami magrespond dun sa hinihingi ng DHA?
Thank you po in advance! 🙂

Hello guys. Medyo na-stress po ako. May nabasa ako na dapat daw may middle name yun PTE result? nakapagtake / pinagtake ako ng PTE last 2022 kahit walang middle name, kaya yun result ko wala rin middle name. Magkaka-issue ba 'to sa grant (190 visa)? Curious ako if meron naging same case ko.
Ni-raise ko na 'tong concern ko sa Pearson. Hopefully ma-update nila yun name ko sa test result soon.
Thank you.

Hello,
I don't think so na magiging issue yang wala kang middle name sa PTE result. Kahit naman yung ibang govt id dito sa Oz e walang middle name.
Anyhow nung nag apply ako ng 485 visa last July 2023, walang middle name yung PTE result ko. Okay naman. Na grant naman yung 485 ko

Hi po! Now lang po uli ako nakapagcheck ng pinoyau forum. Is this thread updated? May tanong po ako sa pagsusubmit ng EOI. Nagsubmit na po ako and ang inilagay ko na state for Visa 190 is 'Any' so that I will be considered for all states. After that, I checked NSW immigration website and ang sabi is 'Specific Visa and State: Your EOI must be exclusively for the Skilled Nominated visa (Subclass 190) and seeking nomination from NSW only.' If pinili ko po ba ang 'Any', hindi po ba ako macoconsider for NSW State Nomination? I think it is contradictory sa sinasabi din sa website na huwag lang umasa sa NSW state nomination and they should also consider other states.
Dito po ba ang tamang place to ask? Salamat po sa makakasagot.

Regarding po sa pagtake ng NAATI - madali po ba makapasa sa NAATI? Naka-7 na po ako sa IELTS pero nahihirapan po ako maka-8. Given na pwede magchange ng points system by end of this year, will they keep the NAATI as part of the points system?

Yes, required na you specify the State in the EOI. Kaya recommended na mag submit ng separate EOIs for each State na qualified yung occupation mo.
