    Hey there @glace1314! I just wanted to reach out and let you know that if you're having a tough time reporting a post, don't worry about it! We all need a little help sometimes. You can always ask a friend to give you a hand, or even create a new account and "report" the post yourself. I know it can be frustrating to undo a report, but hopefully this tip will make the process a little easier for you. Hope the @Admin sees your request in no time.

    @Ozdrims thanks po, but got no reply nor actions from admin but hopefully soon.

    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. 🙏

    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:

    1. 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?

    2. 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!

    nag DIY din kami ng 190 application
    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:

    1. position
    2. hours worked
    3. job desc
    4. salary

    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)

    1. date should be as per sworn date. so do not antidate.

    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.

    High chance! Ayaw mo mag submit ng 189 din? Baka sakaling mahagip ng "possible" 🤞🏼round this May.

    thank you po! 🥹 nag submit po ako 189. possible po ba na ma invite ako ng dalawang state? or pag na sendan na po ng invite hindi na po pwede sendan ulit? NSW po kasi ang target ko.

    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 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 :)

    Good Day po,

    Magtatanung lang po about sa VISA 491, hanggat wala pong opening na work dun sa State na target mo, di ka pwede ma nominate? or pwede ka ma nominate ng state, as long as you satisfied their criteria for future employment?

    U have to visit the website of each states para malaman mo kung anu anu mga requirements nila. Not all states ask for job as a requirement.

    Tanung ko na din po, may chance po kaya na ma nominate ka ng state, kahit di ka nag aaply sa mga Websites ng mga State? Kasi yung target occupation ko po is limited lang, nasa 3 states lang siya as of now, then medyo mahirap yung mga Requirements ng iba, this is for like:

    South Australia, kelangan din ng up to 25kAUD, (I dont have that kind of money yet)

    then sa NSW naman is kelangan if offshore ka, may immediate family ka? That is from what i've read

    then sa Tasmania, kung wala naman daw sa HIGH DEMAND on the TSOL, you will not be assessed..

    I'm about to give up na lng talaga....Sorry if I ask too many questions...pero salamat po sa mga responses niyo...sigh :(

    Sad to say na if hindi open ang occupation mo sa isang state, hindi ka pwedeng mag apply. Try mong mag apply sa SA if it's open. Try lang naman. Saka mo problemahin yung pera. Kasi ung nsw and Tasmania mukhang malabo tlaga dahil may condition e. Sa SA money lang ang problema. Ive heard from a friend na hndi sila hinananap ng bank account sa SA. But its case to case basis ha. Hindi ko sinasabing ganun sa lahat. Good luck

    Taman naman po, You'll never know unless you'll try ...Sipag sa pag aasikaso ang konting swerte lang talaga anu po? Salamat po mam @ga2au ...Na appreciate ko po encouragement niyo. God bless po

    Hello! Just thought to ask if its possible po kaya to choose 3 different visa types i.e. 189, 190 and 491 ng sabay sabay dun sa step ng EOI na pinapaselect (tick yung box) yung visa types? Thank you in advance!

    yes pwede.

    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.

    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.
