    bad news if this gets approved. but most likely i believe it will. Like Admin John said. Better start moving if you don't want to be left behind.

    @aolee, kung ganyan po magiging proseso sa 2012 edi pataasan ng points yan kasi malamang titingnan ng case officer yung mas maraming qualification at yun uunahin nilang padalhan ng confirmation?
  • aoleeaolee

    @LokiJr , so far wala ata namention na, but yes parang magiging invitation type na. one should submit online first, then if they will reply to you, then that's the time you can proceed with the process. that's my understanding about the proposal.

    @aolee, pahirapan nga siya hehe...kaya habang maaga kailangan majustify talaga yung points na pagkukuhaan niyo

    So parang malinaw po dyan is you are applying to be invited first, if ever you pass the requirements, hintay ka naman to be invited. Although I think wala pa nakakaalam kung ano criteria nila for deciding who to invite for visa application..

    Merong speculations na pag mas bata ka at mas mataas IELTS mo, mas titingnan kaagad ng case officer yung application mo...but then again, speculations yan :)

    Hi its depend on what type of your visa na aapplyan mo although there's advantage kung Mataas ang IELTS mo pero kung na meet mo naman ang IELTS band requirement sa skilled mo at least minimun eh okay na rin yun. When it comes sa edad dipende naman din yan although theres advantage pero yan edad na yan eh nasa entry level gaining pa ng working experience. Usually nasa late 20s at early 30s ang mas maraming nakakapunta ng australia kasi they have more and better work experience, kung baga pagdating sa skilled na aaplyan nila eh kabisado nila at ang edad na yan ay nasa peak ang career ika nga. case to case basis lahat. kaya importante relevant at consistent lahat ang documents na isasubmit mo at ilalagay sa visa application. Mas maraming documento mas maganda para di mahirapan ang CO na mag buklat, mag analyze mag review ng identity mo. GOD bless

    At 26 y.o. with a band score of 9, yeah dapat samantalain ko na ang pagkakataon! hehe
    My only problem is my occupation (insurance broker) is not in the SOL anymore so I have to look at 457 or ENS...(or is there another way?) :P

    Hi ang galing mo naman band 9 bihira ang nakakukuha nito. Samantalahin mo. it should be in the list sa SOL kung mag aapply ka ng 457 check mo mabuti yung booklet apat kasi ata yun baka nandun lang din yun. Mag research ka ulit baka may another way pa. kung wala naman tumingin ka sa New zealand, canada or other english country baka naka lista skilled mo dun. try mo tyaga ka lang. cheers

    Baka makatulong sa inyo to http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/agents/pdf/skilled-migration-update.pdf

    Mukhang problema nga ang mangyayaring pagbabago sa 2012, as initially speculated, pataasan nga ng points! Kailangan 90, 85 o 80 ang points na makuha mo saka lang nila titingnan ang Letter of Interest niyo :(

    whew!!! sobrang hirap nyan! it's either you get

    band 7 IELTS (10pts) + NAATI accreditation to claim 5 pts for community language + 475 Regional state sponsorship (10 pts) + Your school should be in Section (10 pts)

    OR

    aim for band 8.0 IELTS (20 pts) + regional 475 state sponorship (10 pts)

    WAG NAMAN SANANG MATULOY YAN.

  • listahan ng MARA agency sa pinas.

    https://www.mara.gov.au/agent/ARSearchResults.aspx?searchforld=7&keyld=philippines&noncom=&lprac=&FolderID=394

    Just ring them and enquire kung magkakano ang per consultation fee and package services nila for visa assistant. Mag pa initial assesment ka muna para sigurado kung anung visa aapplyan mo. Mag research ka rin sa immi.gov.au. Goodluck.... cheers

    @gemini23 mas madali ang proseso pag gumamit ng agent pero generally speaking, iba talaga kung ikaw ang magpasa ng dokumento mo. Maganda kasi kung ikaw mismo alam yung specifics ng requirements...matrabaho siya at marami ka kailangan basahin pero malaki matitipid niyo at mas malaki ang sense of fulfillment heheh
  • Oh okay...good idea. Thanks!!!
