Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

@JohndAU to be honest, we (agents) don’t really use/rely on the information on immitracker. 190 invites depend on the state sponsoring. The reality is, No one can really tell there chances of getting selected by the state for nomination. Once your …
@JohndAU you need to check NAATI. That’s the test you need to take. I’ve no Filipino clients who have taken it. It’s difficult and expensive as well. Not sure if it’s even worth going for it. Good luck!
@pissedball I agree to what you’ve mentioned. The only thing about claiming Work experience without being formally assessed by the skills assessing authority is the danger of overclaiming points which may lead to Visa refusal in the end. This is ris…
@tesu to be honest, I’m not actually sure how an individual would make reference to CEP if they don’t have access to it. As an agent myself, since I’ve got the subscription to CEP, I could make reference to it when I write a cover letter for my clie…
@tesu VETASSESS has got nothing to do with determining which section your university falls under. All assessing authorities and immigration department refer to Country Education Profile (CEP) through the Department of Education and Training. This go…
@jay2 what did you mean with this Aussie helping you out to get to Australia. In what capacity? If he/she’ll be helping you out, wouldn’t he/she knows what to do to get you there?
I’m not sure about the whole circumstance of your husband but you need to check out TRA

That’s right, TRA would be the designated assessing authority for Chefs but as explained, the…
@jaceejoef you will be an unlawful non citizen without a valid visa. Why would you even let the visa expire? I have not encountered anyone who has done this since after 2 years, you’ll be qualified for 887 Visa na whichnis a permanent one. It doesn’…
@pausatio unfortunately, this is the common pitfall of clients who come to me to fix the situation. Skills assessment is the make or break. You need to do this right, ideally the first time to avoid unnecessary expenses. The whole process is not che…
@anamars are you referring to NSW sponsorship approval? Not quite sure if I understand your question. Ang 190 Visa approval kasi is as it is, doesn’t follow a trend. When you lodge your Visa application and if you meet all the requirements, it’s jus…
@OzyCebuano offing an EOI and indicating the state of preference doesn’t mean you have applied for state sponsorship, it only means you’ve expressed your interest, unless you have actually submitted a state nomination application.
@pausatio usually they suggest an alternative occupation on the outcome letter and you’ll be given a deadline to change the occupation free of charge.
It’s very important the tasks mentioned on your evidences are aligned to the ANZSCO definitio…

Chef/cook was my gateway to Australia many years ago. Back then it was easier. I was on a student visa and applied for PR right after. No work experience required back then pa so got away with it. I then worked in the field related to my degr…
@hopeful_Z have you considered a different occupation? I’ve had clients with Electrical engineering as degree and we opted to apply for a trade occupation. Not quite sure about the scope of you experience but perhaps worth considering a different oc…
@red_lippy you can either wait for their clarification or lodge your EOI and update it later. Most likely you won’t get a reply re eoi that soon anyway so you can just update your EOI as soon as. You won’t need to submit any docs yet upon eoi lodgem…
As an agent myself, I would highlight the fact that indeed, overclaiming points may lead to Visa refusal and worse be accused of fraud. Don’t even attempt to do this approach. Make sure you do things right than risk things and be sorry in the end. A…
@pinesfly @Supersaiyan from my experience with cases we’ve handled, all 3 visa options have no guaranteed timeline in terms of invite grant. 189 invites are computer generated wherein it automatically grants invites based on points declared by appli…
@ricabanana have you got the assessment outcome already? That wasn’t clear. Anyway, it’s the last 10 years they will consider so most likely from the date today moving 10years back. I would just assume it won’t be considered on the safe side. That’s…
@kimpoy angelo will be your middle name then. I’d still put your middle name (mother’s maiden name) under Middle name and just explain your entire name format as to how it’s defined in Philippines on a cover letter when you provide your documents. …
@fruitys it may be an issue later on though. I had an issue when i got married and wanted to change my name. I could imagine your complete legal name would still reflect on your birth certificate which would be inconsistent with other docs?
@kimpoy FYI, middle name in Australia is your second name. Whilst middle name in Philippines is the mother’s maiden name. Are you referring to the Australian version of middle name or Philippines?
@batman @Pyche05 the prc certificate helps in recognising your qualification as equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree especially for those who studied in institutions under section 2 and 3. That’s the main purpose why it’s beneficial to presen…
