Hello!  I filed a GSM visa application last June2009. Then only heard back last Dec2013. Im an IT professional. Now currently in the process of updating my docs and health records. So much of my circumstance had changed for the past 4.5yrs. I almost gave up on this migration.

Wow, that is a long time to wait. Are they still requiring you to submit a skills assessment to ACS? What is your nominated occupation if you don't mind..

That's cheap. Stop over ba nito sa KL? Walang direct flight from PH to MELB sa Air Asia di ba?

[cartman]

yes po KL to Melbourne.

@rara_avis. SO far, hindi naman. Pati IELTS, hindi din naman. Sobrang sakit sa bulsa kung papaulit nila yun noh. Embassy fault naman why matagal.  Under IT Unix professional un skill na inapply ko.

Buti naman hindi na hiningi. Goodluck to your application, mabilis na ngayon. Mine only took about 10 months including the processing of my assessment, IELTS, etc. The actual processing was only about 5 months.

[ava_garde]

^ sis when did you apply? General Skilled Migrant IT professional din?

[psyche18R]

Need pa ba talaga to take IELTS if you are applying for PR?

[Antigone]

Yup mabilis na ngayon. As in nakakagulat sa bilis. And yes, IELTS is needed.

[ava_garde]

My case officer contacted me again and asking for additional documents for my husband and child. Plus submit another evidence of skills in Language and employment evidences. Haay! This is very frustrating. Parang back to square1 na naman ako sa paulit ulit na requirements at gastos.

[cartman]

mga sis pa help po. Sino po dito management or financial accounting graduate na nag push through ang application for sub class 189? Kasi nag iba na plano ko parang skilled independent na gusto ko kuhanin na visa since walang show money and yun experience ko sa work at age ko me points naman.
Ang iniisip ko baka hindi ako replayan ng assesing authority kasi hindi ako CPA? kaka email ko lang sakanila hindi ko kasi alam paano mag pa assess.
Bale sa ICAA at IPA ako nag email hindi ko kasi sure sino mag asses saken.
Baka may same story gaya ng akin pa advise please thanks a lot sa sasagot.

Dapat mag reply sa iyo ang CPA/ICAA/IPA. they should outline what you need to do and tell you if you're eligible for anything.

you might have to do some units ie Taxation and Law. dahilt may mga pinagkakaiba ang taxation and law dito. sa tax may topics like FBT, and style ng law nila is of course galing UK,

It depends din kung how long ago yung ibang mga subjects. minsan pag masyadong matagal na, pinauulit.

some of your experiences might be recognized.

you'll never know exactly until they reply and ask you to the required documents.

thousands of dollars per subject sa Uni ang masteral. more or less 30k for a 12 subject master's degree course. this is if you are a domestic student. foreign students pay more.

books are in more or less 100 dollars. 150 dollars is quite common. some textbooks are slightly less than 100.

you will print loads and loads of paper. so invest in a printer that can print volumes without spending much on cartridges.

[Lute]

any CPA here?  I'm working as an Accountant here in Victoria and would like to pursue my CPA career.  How did you get your syllabus (if I can still remember the correct term) or detailed topics taken in Accounting from your school? This will be their basis for assessment.  They have another suggestion in which you can just provide a statutory declaration with details of all subjects/topics taken, but I can't remember them all, it has been a decade since i finished school, is it available online?

check with your school. sometimes pareho pa din ang course codes. if nag palit, you should be able to see some sort of description of the subjects.

Geishaslut, it will definitely be much much more than 1M pesos. You can browse Melbourne and Sydney Uni websites so you have an idea.

[Lute]

aim for the top 10. sila ang matataas ang world rankings. you can google them naman.

[oreo08]

"Group of Eight" unis
Monash Uni
University of Melbourne
UNSW
University of Sydney

other Unis are in other States

[Lute]

^sis mas maganda kung yung uni na what comes to your mind as a resident there. like say in manila, if someone asks you what are the top unis, without googling or thinking much, you say the usual like Ateneo, UP or DLSU. Do you get what I mean?

ayun nga kasama na yung group of 8 na binanggit sa itaas.

university of western australia
university of melbourne
Australian National University
University of New South Wales
university of Adelaide
univeristy of Queensland
university of Sydney.


good luck
