General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

enayam16 · May 2014

Hi there Guys,

Just want to ask a noob question. Ang hirap ng situation ko kc or well, probably, di ko completely grasped ung concept ng independent skilled migration vs skilled state sponsored. Sa palagay nyo ba it would still be okay na mag independent skilled migration ako (nominated ko kc is ICT support technician sa CSOL) pero wala nmn sa any state migration occupation list. Can anybody attest to this somehow? Lost lang tlg ako...Please shed some light peeps kung iproceed ko n lang ung Independent skilled migration and if my chances na maapprove din un(well given n i qualify for all requirements nila)...hays... Thanks guys!

You cannot apply po for skilled independent kung ang occupation mo e nasa CSOL at wala sa SOL. if your occupation is in CSOL that means na you can only apply under subclass 190, which is skilled nominated. You are required to obtain sponsorship from a state. So kung walang state available to sponsor you, u run a risk na madelay ang application mo and wait for any state to become available or worse is indi talaga mag open yung state.

My suggestion is, hanap ka na lang ng ibang nominated occupation na close namn sa work mo na either asa SOL para u can apply independently or kung asa CSOL namn sia try to check kung may state na open. hindi kasi ko masyado familiar sa ICT Support technician so di ko magauge kung wala sia sa state migration plan list ngyn just because nameet na ba ung quota for this year or matagal na bang wala sa list ung ICT Support technician.

Hi,

Nag uumpisa na po naming iready ang Funds bago kami ma invite at maglodge ng visa, Visa 189 ang inaplyan namin ng Misis ko . 55 pts ako plus 5 pts sa partner skill from my wife = 60pts.

Tama po ba na ang babayaran namin for visa is $3520 + $1760 = $5280 or same kami ng babayaran ng misis ko na $3520 + $3520 = $7040.

Thanks po in advance

Ah okay sir...

So, pedeng ang main applicant muna ang mag-initial entry tapos, susunod na lang ang secondary?
Yes pwede as long as makapunta sila sa Au before nung initial entry date, else mavoid ung visa nila.

pwede din kahit secondary applicant ang maona.
not true for all.. depende yan sa visa nyo mismo..
may mga visa grant na may exception.. na hindi pwede mauna ang secondary..
so you would only know once visa grant na talga...

Aw. Basis ko kasi is my friend na naona kahit secondary lang siya. Ok. Case-to-case pa rin pala. Thanks for the clarification po.

Formula 1 is correct.
Full sa'yo. Then half sa legal wife mo

lock_code2004 · May 2014

@IslanderndCity haha legal wife talaga.. Pag kabit 1/4 fee lng ba?

IslanderndCity · May 2014

@lock_code2004 hindi ko pa na-try po. Haha. Bigay saya naman tayo sa mga taga-PinoyAu pampagaan ng mind & heart po.

Hi @IslanderndCity,

Thanks sa info

IslanderndCity · May 2014

@DMAU2012 you're welcome. Good luck & God bless.

IslanderndCity · May 2014

@DMAU2012 take note also na after ka magbayad ng visa at mag-upload ng basic documents, you need to provide the following too:
Medical clearance, police clearance and maybe form 80.

Ah ganun po ba..Hays Hirap nmn, now I'm regretting that I pursued and spent much of my employment in a call center...Scheisse...Hirap nmn ng ganito...How about po kaya kung my nasa CSOL ung nominated na occupation ko (ICT support technician) however, walang requirement sa NSW, pero meron po akong relative there na willing nmn magsponsor for that? Mabypass po b ung requirement because of my NSW Sydney sponsor relative? Nagcheck po ako kc nung Skilled Regional/Provisional 489 and ung Sydney is not among the postal codes accepted for those who can sponsor me. I'm going to check p rin po ung mga relatives ko sa Australia...Hays...T_T

Xiaomau82 · May 2014

@enayam16 ang alam ko sa relative temporary visa lang (SC 489) pwede sila mag sponsor sayo pero regional area dapat sila.

Hi to all,

Gusto ko lang sana mag-seek ng advise. i have a friend na gusto ko tulungan in terms of giving information how to get here in australia. most likely 189 visa ang pagppursue-hin ko sa kanya. i have question lang, ECE kasi sya. pero ang work experience nya ay construction related job, project engineer sya dun for 4 years. i doubt kung bbgyan sya ng points ng EA. ang gusto sana nya inominate na occupation eh project engineer dahil un ang experience nya at hindi ECE related job. okay lng kaya un? i mean makakakuha pa din kaya sya ng points under education at work experience?

Indi ko sure kung pwede sia magqualify as Construction Project Engineer with his course na ECE, Group A kasi ung occupation sa VETASSESS which requires "at least one year of post-qualification highly relevant employment to the nominated occupation, completed at an appropriate skill level in the five years before the date of application for a Skills Assessment and a highly relevant major" sa degree nia.

Hi, ECE graduate din ako pero ang work ko is related sa Mechanical Engineer. Nagpaassess ako sa EA as ME, but when I received my result they suggested na ang appropriate Code is Engineering Technologist.

So, Just nominate kng anong tingen nyong closely related sa work, then based sa CDR nyo let EA suggest kung anong tamang Code to use for migration purpose.

Tama si @BMM03 just do a CDR and get your BF assessed by EA, mejo considerate sila, usually nagsasuggest sila ng mas appropriate na occupation.

@enayam16 ang alam ko sa relative temporary visa lang (SC 489) pwede sila mag sponsor sayo pero regional area dapat sila.

there are two types of visa 489:
a) 489- regional sponsorship - so region po ang mag ssponsor sa inyo.. occupation should in CSOL

b) 489 relative sponsorship - ang relative nyo should be living in a designated area, occupation SHOULD BE in SOL

yes, both SOL and CSOL

lester_lugtu · May 2014

So base sa pagkakaintindi ko sa mga explanation ninyo, kahit ece ung friend ko pero construction related ang work experience nya, okay lang makakakuha pa din sya ng point from EA both sa education ar work experience kahit super hindi sila connected??

Maraming salamat po.

lester_lugtu · May 2014

@BMM03,
Kung magsskillselect ba sya both sa education at work experience eh makakakuha sya ng points? Kasi need tlga nya dhl un lng pgkukuhaan nya ng 60points.

enayam16 · May 2014

@lock_code2004 Thanks Sir...hays..un din dilemma ko, sa 489 n relative sponsorship, ung Sydney residents cannot sponsor me as it's not included on the allowed postal codes. Sa 489 na regional sponsorship, wala nmng demand for ICT Support technician or ICT customer support sa any regions...Hirap naman tlg...I guess my only resort is to get an AQF equivalent na certification that might fall under SOL jobs for independent skilled...Hirap that I have to spent too much money for certification (MCITP = 100k) and CCNP (40k) just to get an AQF equivalent as im an undergraduate of an obsolete degree (Computer management) hays..Thanks anyways sir lock code and xiaomau...hays.. dead end n nmn ako...

I suggest na ipa-assess muna ang credentials nya.

Maraming salamat po.

if you can get around ung work experience pede maclaim both work and educ. pero may kilala ako na binigyan sia ng choice ng EA kung gusto nia maassess either Engineering technologist or Aeronautical engr. wherein pag pinili nia ung aeronautical e indi marecognise ung work experience nia.
