@hotshot and @ringo thanks sa pag-reply.

ok lang pala na b&w lang ung mga documents namin, worried lang kasi ako baka mamaya hindi pwede kasi me nabasa ako na colored copy nya pina-xerox. Ask ko na din pala, if ung husband ko ung primary applicant, need ko din ba mag-pasa sa ACS if kukuha kami ng points for partner?

thanks!

Hi @pinkteddy20. I think kelangan nga mag pa assess if claiming points. Please see below from skillselect

Partner Skills

You can receive five points if your partner meets requirements at the time you are invited to apply relating to:

age
English language ability
a suitable skills assessment in a nominated occupation on the same Skilled Occupation List used for your application.
You cannot receive these points if your partner is not included on your visa application, or if they are an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident.

Points Evidence required

5
You must provide evidence that your partner meets the requirements. This evidence must be:

documents that prove your partner is 50 years of age or younger
documents that prove your partner has at least competent English
a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s nominated occupation (your partner’s nominated occupation must be on the same Skilled Occupation List as your nominated occupation).

pinkteddy20 · March 2013

@ringo thanks ulit, awww... so need ko din pala magbayad... ask ko na din sa may mga partner, worth it po ba ung 5 points na un? pasok na naman ung hubby ko sa 60 points eh.

thanks!

@ringo thanks ulit, awww... so need ko din pala magbayad... ask ko na din sa may mga partner, worth it po ba ung 5 points na un? pasok na naman ung hubby ko sa 60 points eh.

thanks!

it really depends on many things:
1) occupation limit: marami pa ba slots sa nominated occupation nyo, kung marami pa then okay na ang 60pts..
2) score ng mga current invitation: example now, ang mga current invitations ay 60pts, meaning medyo ubos na ang matataas na points, but that is now (see point 3)
3) kelan kayo makaka-apply - im assuming you are still starting with your assessment, by the time matapos ang assessment/ielts nyo, eh start na ulit ng July 2013 (migration program), so marami na nmang mag-apply, marami na nmang matataas na EOI scores, at baka matabunan ang mababang scores...

if you want to see the current invitiations/occupation limits, visit the skilselect website and check the "Reports"

so final comment, you decide/balance between spending more for skills assessment/ielts versus how fast do you want be invited/selected for visa application

hotshot · March 2013

@pinkteddy20 : dagdag ko lang...nasa option din nyo po ba ang magpa-state sponsorship? for SS, di nyo kelangan ng mataas na score, you just need to satisfy the requirements of the sponsoring state. but then again, as @lock_code2004 asked, kelan nyo po ba kayo makakapagapply? you need to check sa state na gusto nyo kung naka-list ang occupation nyo sa kanila, check their requirements, consider their processing time, then check din kung di pa naabot ang occupation ceiling. good luck!

ringo · March 2013

@pinkteddy20 maganda yung point ni @Lock_code2004
kelangan i weigh mo rin if ever you want to add points kasi baka kulangin kayo ng oras.

pinkteddy20 · March 2013

@Lock_code2004 na-check ko na ung occupation limit medyo marami pa naman slots availavable for Software Engineer. Both software engineer kasi kami ni hubby. As of now, inaayos pa lang namin ung papers namin. Mukhang hindi ata kami aabot this year kasi sa nabasa ko matagal bago lumabas ung result ng ACS. Bale if magpasa kami sa ACS ng April or May baka di na kami abutin. if abutin namin ang July 2013 (migration program) need ba namin ng higher points or else mag-aantay kami maubos muna ung mga higher points? Mas advisable ba talaga na mahabol namin before mag-July?

@hotshot sa ngaun gusto sana namin ung walang SS kasi hindi namin alam kung san in-demand ung skills namin, pero kung wala ng option, baka mag-SS na din kami. Medyo magastos kasi ig mag-claim din ako ng 5 points pero kung makakatulong naman un sa application namin, itry ko na din...

@ringo, uu nga eh, mahirap din pala i-weigh to, kasi budget at time ang involve, need talagang pag-isipan at action-an agad.

Thanks sa inyong tatlo sa pag-sagot sa akin.

hotshot · March 2013

@pinkteddy20 : ideally, maganda mahabol before July kung pasok na points nyo sa current policies. ang palitan kasi ng policies happens every July so di pa natin alam kung magkakaroon ng changes if ever. pwede kasing magbago ang occupations list, or yung ceiling for it, points requirements, etc. we never know.

lock_code2004 · March 2013

@pinkteddy20 - mukhang wala namang major major changes sa rules this coming Jul 2013...
normally pag meron, inannounce nila yan in advance...
kung meron man, ang magchange lang ang occupation limit, ang list SOL/CSOL, at ang fee..

kung pasok na sa 60pts si mister.. okay na po yan..
proceed with application, habang on-going ang assessment, basa basa lang kayo, saan state available ang SS, ilan ang points ng mga naiinvite..

paglabas ng assessment, at IELTS... then decide kung anung route ang gusto nyo...
goodluck..

pinkteddy20 · March 2013

@hotshot and @lock_code2004 thanks talaga sa pag-reply nyo. Cge, i-proceed na namin mag-apply after namin maayos lahat ng documents at mapasa sa ACS. thanks again! Balitaan ko kyo kung ano mangyari.

jedianiki · March 2013

Hi guys, question po... pano po ba process pag state sponsorship? Are there any application forms or letter to send sa state na gusto nyo pong mag-sponsor sa inyo? NSW po yung prospect ko. Thanks sa mga sasagot!

Hunter_08 · March 2013

@jedianiki You can go to NSW SS site tpos nandun na po lahat ng information na need nyo for SS..Good Luck po..

jedianiki · March 2013

Thanks po @Hunter_08!

ACS can still assess your qualifications via the RPL route. You can find more information sa guidelines ng ACS. Madami din dito ang successful ang result ng assessment na non-IT ang background.
