Subclass 475 - please help me with my pending application!

jhoney · September 2013

Good day!

I have a pending application which is the "Class VF subclass 475 Skilled (Provisional) Regional Sponsored.

This application was way back 2008 pa po. My aunt who is an Australian citizen in Melbourne is the one sponsoring me for this type of visa.
At first I do not understand well the processing, bastat may kelangang requirements, agad agad nag susubmit ako. my aunt got me a registered migration agent for this application.

By the way, I am a registered nurse here in the Philippines, when my application started last 2008, I already have my experience as a nurse for more than 3 years na nun.

Kaso I did not pursue this application because i was so frustrated with my IELTS result. kelangan daw all 7points, twice na akong nag take and ganun pa rin result, hindi all 7. so eventually, umabot na til 2013 hindi na tumuloy ang application ko.

my questions are:

1. should i really have an all 7points in each section in ielts sa type of visa na ito para mag continue?

2. yung last email sa akin nung agent ko which was last year is that there will be a long delay in the processing of my application because it falls under priority group 5, which means that my nominated occupation is not on the SOL in effect from 01 July 2012.
i do not understand when he meant na im not in the list of SOL, totoo bang wala na sa list of sol ang NURSE??

3.i am applying now for a student visa(subclass 573), will it affect my pending application kung ituloy ko ang student visa?

4. lately ko lang nalaman na pwede naman pala akong magpunta as student muna, bakit hindi binigay na option sa akin ng migration agent ko ang student visa option?

5. could you please enlighten me with the subclass 475 visa i have. actually, im not really sure about this type of visa. ang alam ko lang i am being sponsored by my relative in australia. should i really continue this application or just take the faster one which is the student visa(subclass 573).

please, i really need your input in these..

@jhoney - i replied to you on a different thread.. so i'll re-post it here..

1. you need 7.0 in each section para makakuha ka ng points sa points system.. so i guess kaya ka ni rerequire ng 7.0 eh para umabot ang points mo sa cut-off

2. Nasa SOL pa rin po ang "nurse".. pero by reading your story, mukhang hindi kayo "nagpa-assess" sa assessing agency for Nurses, kaya in effect parang wala kayong na-nominate na occupation sa 475 application nyo.. kaya kayo napunta sa Priority 5 (sponsored by relative but NO nominated occupation from SOL)... hindi enough na RN kayo sa pinas, dapat ma-recognize ng AU ang educ/skills nyo as a Nurse bago kayo mag-qualify..

pero kung nagpa-assess kayo at lumabas na positive skills assessment kayo, at ginamit nyo yung result para ma-nominate kayo as a "AU registered/qualified Nurse", then dapat nasa priority 3 or 4 dapat kayo.. at dapat eh tumatakbo na ang application nyo (kung tinuloy nyo)

3. Sabi nyo, hindi nyo naman tinuloy ang 475 application, so walang effect yun kung mag student visa kayo ngayon..

4. yes.. student visa na ang option ngayon for nurses.. either mag brigding/conversion program kayo para maging AU RN.. please see thread about nurses... search nyo lang dito sa forum..

5. if you look at the allocation table.. yung mga application of visa 475 under priority 5, wala pang umaandar, ibig sabihin kahit ung applicants nung unang panahon eh hindi pa rin na-aasikaso.. at kung gusto nyo namang ituloy ngaun eh hindi na rin pwede, dahil hindi na sila tumatanggap ng application ng 475.. meron pwede pero ibang visa type na...

Visa 475- Priority 5 - Allocation Not Commenced *

so you decide... goodluck..

@lock_code2004
thank you very much sa pag reply ha. its so nice naman of you at ngayon may alam na ako sa nangyayari sa application ko.
nakaka depress malaman na wla naman pla akong hinihintay..
sa tingin mo ba pwede ko pang irefund yung binayad ko sa immigration kung ipull back ko yung application ko?

@jhoney - ah so nasubmit pa pala..
i think pwede naman pong ma-refund..

hindi nmn sa walang hinihintay.. matatagalan lang talaga ang processing..
yung mga ibang katulad mo 5-7years ang hinihintay...

i think mas okay na magstudent visa kana muna, then maging AU RN..
mas mabilis at mas malaki ang chance na maging PR..
