wow sabay
Nominated Skill: 312111
Target Visa: Subclass 190-OFFSHORE
Target State: VIC/WA/NSW(got NSW invite)
2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
2022 Started working in Singapore, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again.
2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube video explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about making contact to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.

2024 July : I delayed getting my Vetasses in the hopes of saving the fee if my husband got the invite even with low eoi score(who am I kidding?). Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner is a huge difference. Initially, I was looking to just submit with only 1 work experience cause my other companies are a bit hassle to deal with but thank God I went throught all the stress and collected them all(pokemon?)
2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess

Makikisingit lang po dito. Paano po kaya pag kulang yung contract of employment? Ang meron lang kasi akong copy is from current job ko. But sa assessment naman po kompleto ko yung reference letters, ITR, sss, pag ibig, etc. Okay na po kaya yun to prove my experience?
And another question, inupload nyo ba yung EA outcome sa pre-invite na form?
Thank you po 🙏

What ANZSCO Code would be best for me? I've searched that renewable energy is more in line with Electrical Engineers but I'm a Licensed Mechanical Engineer and graduated last 2019 and have worked in the solar industry Rewable Sector (5 years total).

Pwede rin yung profession nila as ME and obtain skills assessment through your renewable energy sector experience. Napaka timely naman most states need Energy sector workers lalo na ang QLD.

Welcome to the waiting club!
Nominated Skill: 312111
Target Visa: Subclass 190-OFFSHORE
Target State: VIC/WA/NSW(got NSW invite)
2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
2022 Started working in Singapore, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again.
2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube video explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about making contact to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.
2024 Jan 16: Husband's Vetassess Lodging
2024 Feb 2: Husband's Vetassess Priority processing
2024 Feb 6: Husband's Vetassess Positive Result
2024 July 2: PTE exam (Husband-Competent, Mine-Proficient). Huge month gap because we got busy with office works and some other personal errands.
2024 July 3: Husband Submitted EOI for Visa 190 VIC/NSW/WA (65)
(Age:30; Qualifications:15; XP Offshore:10; English:0; Partner:5; State:5)
2024 July : I delayed getting my Vetasses in the hopes of saving the fee if my husband got the invite even with low eoi score(who am I kidding?). Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner is a huge difference. Initially, I was looking to just submit with only 1 work experience cause my other companies are a bit hassle to deal with but thank God I went throught all the stress and collected them all(pokemon?)
2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess
2024 Sep 4: Vetassess Priority approval- then paid the same day.
