Umuulan ng grants. Congratulations!!

Mukhang go na go na immigration plans ng Labor. Haha

Mukha nga. Pero sana diligently pa rin ang screening ng migrants para di naman magaya ang aus sa europe (with all due respect haha).

Hindi malabong mangyari hahaha. Pero 'wag naman sana

Magtatanong po sana. San nilalagay ung upfront na pcc? Is it under "other documents" or " character history evidence". Gusto sana namen iupload ung updated pcc pra hindi na mgsend ang CO nang s56... Tia

Either one is okay. Sa akin nilagay ko sa Character History Evidence kasama nung naunang pcc. Rename mo nlng as “…renewal”. Good enough.

Sa character history evidence ko po nilagay yung saamin before. but ensure na sa filename it shows na ito yung latest like lagyan ng date or word na updated.

As Melbourne’s summers continue to bring dry, often intense heat, many homeowners are quietly exploring practical ways to keep their spaces cool without relying on energy-heavy systems. One option that consistently emerges in local conversations is evaporative cooling installation in Melbourne, especially for those living in low-humidity areas where this system performs best. Unlike refrigerated air conditioning, evaporative coolers work by pulling in warm outside air and passing it through water-saturated pads, allowing naturally cooled air to circulate throughout the house.

Guys itanong ko lang mag papasa si misis ng eoi 90pts sya sa 491, sa 90 pts na yon included na ung 5pts partner skill points ko na english. May nabasa ko na pwedeng maging 10 points ang partner skill kung magpapa skills assessment ako. Accountancy graduate ako at currently working sa family business ng parents ko. Ang question ko is:

Totoo ba na pwede pang madagdagan ng 5points kung mag pa skills assessment ako?

Sa mga nagpaskills assessment na Accountancy grad pag nag pa skills assessment ako sa CPA hihingin din ung working experience ko?

you can claim 10 pts if you meet the following requirement for partner skills

aside from skills assessment, kelangan applicant ka din ng same subclass ni wife (491). check if accountancy (or anything related) is eligible to apply for 491.

Pwede naman magpasa para more chances lalo kung mataas yung credited expi points mo sa skills assessment. Pero pwede rin namang hindi na kung tingin nyo okay na points ni misis.

Kami rin ng husband ko originally sya lang ang mag aapply and partner lang ako kasi max yung expi nya. Kaso sobrang baba nung total nya kaya kumuha narin ako ng assessment kasi nababasa ko na preferred ng states ang skilled partner at sa priority industry(same kami ng occupation sa construction industry). Turns out mataas din pala yung nacredit na expi ko tapos ako pa nga yung naka receive ng invitation kasi hirap si husband ko i-superior yung PTE nya.

If pinapractice mo yung accountancy sa work mo ngayon, then yes pwede mo subukan magpa assess pero kailangan mo din mag submit ng requirements for that occupation. It will add 5 pts sa wife mo. And might as well magsubmit ka na din ng EOI if makakuha ka ng positive assessment.
