@jeorems nagulat nga rin ako. di ko expected na magclose sila agad. to think na nasa 1st Q palang ng taon. no choice but to wait for July. I just hope na it will be re-opened..

BeBBang · February 2014

@bookworm VIC nalang kasi open sa occupation ni hubby and basing from the forum, mahigpit sila sa SS. kaya we opted to go to ACT. Kaso ayan, nagulat kami at nagclosed naman na both saken at kay hubby. We'll just wait for July nalang siguro. By that time, I hope many states will open doors for us.

jeorems · February 2014

@jeorems, so technically, di ka pa nga nagsusubmit ng ACT sponsorship, pero parang inextend nila ang palugit mo dahil napaverify mo na?

@Bookworm - yes, hindi pa ako nagsubmit kasi kapapa-notaryo ko pa lang nung finacial statement ko kahapon then I need to scan, submit ko na din mamaya para di na mag-tagal tutal ready na naman lahat.

Well, ganun ang pagkakaintindi ko pero I am praying pa din na tama nga ung gut feel ko, i mean kung no chance naman they should have inform me agad. Nakalagay naman sa email nila na I was given 30 days to submit the necessary documents for SS.

@BeBBang, that's because 263111 is in SOL (http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/skilled-occupations-lists/sol.aspx).
Ibig sabihin, puwede kayo mag apply ng visa 189. Or kailangan nyo ba ng state sponsorship para sa points?

@jeorems, Ok, good luck sa iyo

kaya natin eto!

BeBBang · February 2014

@bookworm kelangan ng SS eh. di kasya yung points

bookworm · February 2014

@BeBBang, try nyo din aral ng IELTS. Pag mataas makuha nyo score dun, dagdag points din yun

BeBBang · February 2014

@bookworm mag-co-concentrate nalang muna sa IELTS while waiting mag open ang SS. para ready na lahat, apply nalang agad once pwede na.

bookworm · February 2014

@BeBBang, if you don't mind me asking, ilang points na kayo ngayon? without IELTS and SS?

BeBBang · February 2014

@bookworm 45 points (25 - age, 10 - school, 10 - exp). so there's no other way but to take ielts and ss or ielts and partner points if we're going for visa 189.

bookworm · February 2014

@BeBBang, ok. Kaya yan, tyagaan lang.

Good luck sa inyo.

BeBBang · February 2014

@bookworm sayo din po. God bless sa ating dreams.

weather ngayon sa Canberra? Para makapagdala kame ng jackets if malamig na po. thanks!

Okay lang naman magdala ng portable hard disk pero ang hindi ko alam kung pinapayagan ang downloaded movies. Its up to you na lang, ramdom naman ang checking sa Airport pero ready ka rin dapat kung na tyempuhan ka sorry na lang may penalty fees na ipapabayaran sa iyo dipende sa dami ng dowload mo. I'm watching full movies in youtube madami dun English movies i type mo lang ang title movie at dadagan ng words ng "full movie" sa search. Kapag nakita mo ang result sa time na may mahigit isang oras malamang yun full movie yun.

Australia's seasons are almost the opposite of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere and the seasons in Australia are as follows.
Spring - September to November
Summer - December to February
Autumn / Fall - March to May
Winter - June to August

Sa ngayun Autumn na, malamig ng konti kapag sa madaling araw. Ang weather temperature kapag araw ay nasa 18deg to 25deg. Minsan nagbabago ang klima halimbawa kapag mainit ngayun or humid kinabukasan maginaw. Minsan naman cloudy kinabukasan o sa sususnod na araw ay sunny. Hindi pa naman maginaw kapag araw pero expecting yan Mga starting May paginaw ng paginaw na deretso na yan till winter.

Goodluck and God bless

bookworm · March 2014

@thegreatiam15, sorry to hear that. Meron pa yan, be patient. I waited a couple of years

Isipin mo, vetassess ko a couple of years ago pa haha.

BeBBang · March 2014

@thegreatiam15 same tayo. pero dapat wag susuko. saglit lang naman mag-intay, mabilis ang araw. di mo mamamalayan july na pala. ako nga may countdown pa

kaya naten to! pray lang ng pray

kremitz · March 2014

Thanks @bookworm. Umm diba po there was a time na nagclosed na yung ibang occupations sa act state sponsorship? Do ypu guys remember when yun? My sister kc will be applying as a retail buyer. Lam ko nagclosed yun since last year pa eh. Fear lang namen baka biglang mga one month o less lang sya mag open. Eh magpapaassess pa lang sya

bookworm · March 2014

@kremitz, as of this week, ACT 2013/2014 sponsorship is closed.
http://www.canberrayourfuture.com.au/portal/migrating/article/act-occupation-list/
Mag open ulit cya sa July.

Pa-assess muna cya. When she has the skills assessment, tsaka na ulit cya mag check ng mga state sponsorship status.

kremitz · March 2014

@bookworm umm what i mean is before pa po kc mag totally close yung act state sponsorship eh kasama na ÿung occupation nya sa closed na occupation nung mga last year yun. Diko lang matandaan anong month yun hehe pero usually po ba ilang months naoopen yung mga occupations sa act state sponsorship list?

bookworm · March 2014

@kremitz, andun pa sa page na yun yung mga occupations na sponsored nila. Di pa nila tinatanggal. Yun ba ang gusto mo makita?

kremitz · March 2014

@bookworm umm hindi po hehe lam ko po andun pa talaga sya sa list

sometime last year nagclosed po yung retail buyer na occupation sa act csol list along with other occupations. I want to know po sana kung meron dito nakakaalam when yun nagclose hehe like baka yung iba dito eh kasama din na na closed yung status ng nominated occupation nila. Im asking this lng po kc worry ng ate ko na bka by the time na may skills assessment na sya at ielts(most likely august cgro or sep) eh bka closed nanaman yung status nung occupation nya sa act state sponsorship list hehe

bookworm · March 2014

@kremitz, gamble talga yan. Kaya nga ang maganda, meron ka na nyang mga yan para pag nakita nyong merong state, makapag file na kayo agad. Ako, I filed vetassess 2 years ago. Walang state na nag sponsor, kahit pasado points ko. So I had to wait and constantly check if there was a state that would sponsor my skill, until recently, ayun nga yung ACT sponsorship.

Hope this answers your question.

kremitz · March 2014

Wow talaga? Anong nominated occupation nyo @bookworm? Bute dipa paso ielts at assessment mo

bookworm · March 2014

@kremitz, technical writer (212415). Skills assessment almost expired so I had vetassess reissue a statement. Wasn't expensive. IELTS, I only took that last year so it was still valid.
