Bakapag nag open baka ma-invite kayo agad. Same tayo occupation & partner skill. Pagka update ko ng Superior english, na invite ako sumunod na round at 90 points.
Pero sana mag invite narin ng offshore yung mga states this FY. Last year kasi NSW & SA lang yung may invites ng offshore sa occupation natin.
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 SG, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again. Working in SG was a huge factor for us pushing through because we are now confident that we can afford the cost of migration process.
---2023---
2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube videos 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 reaching out 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 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 with low EOI score. Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner would be a huge difference because of state preference. 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 cause now, I could also submit EOI as the main applicant.
2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess
2024 Sep 4: Vetassess Priority approval- then paid the same day.

It’s always safe to assume they will call. After all, they reserve the right to do so. Not because others have not experienced this doesn’t mean yours will be the same

Ye mate. Nag work samin yan. Not only tumaas score namen dahil superior, na tyempuhan na invite kami in 3 days.

Hello, I have a few questions...
I'm based in the Philippines, working as a consultant BIM Architect (fully remote) for a large archi firm based in the Middle East. Consultant setup so I basically function like a normal WFH employee, pero contractually, hindi ako under the employ ng company.
Nasa 4 years total ang work experience ko sa ngayon (but not yet assessed by Vetassess) and best-case is nasa 75 points (assuming Superior English, positive assessment of 3 yrs overseas work exp) for Architectural Draftsperson - Subclass 190. It will realistically take another 2 or 3 years of age & work experience bago tumaas ulit yung points ko and improve my chances.
So, my questions:
1) Is 75 points good enough as it is now? So far as per my own research online, nasa 85-90 daw yung most common na naga-grant lately. So I understand kung medyo low ang chances, pero still asking to hopefully be told otherwise hahaha.
2) Would any of you know of any medium-large architecture/construction companies in Australia wherein nagha-hire din sila under a consultancy setup similar to my current job? I know for smaller offices/studios it is more common, as I've personally worked in a similar setup for a small Sydney-based studio previously. But now I'm leaning more into working for larger-size companies if given the privilege of choice hehe (personal career preferences).
Additionally, honestly ok naman yung work and company ko ngayon in terms of salary, workload, etc., but I'm exploring the thought of applying for companies more aligned to my longterm goal: Australia. I basically just want to make better use of my time and current skills in a way na nag-aalign with my long-term goals. So any leads would help!
3) Kung swertehin man akong makahanap ng work for an Australian company in that setup, would it count as "Australian Work Experience" points-wise? Answer to that is probably a no, but still I hope I'm wrong.
TYIA!
