Hey Eric, you might want to consider to apply for state sponsorship for that.
pro: additional 5 marks if apply visa 190
con: u have to stay 2 years in the state who sponsor you

Alternatively, get a partner/dependent which is also on the SOL list and she can give you additional 5 points too.

But you might want to try IELTS in Malaysia again which i personally think that it is easier compared to aussy one.

If you dont mind me asking which state 190 you applied for?

i'm currently applying 190 for WA. We actually need to sign a form stating you agree to stay 2 year in WA, agree for home visit and survey from the states at least once every 6 months and whatsoever...
So i always thought we have to oblige and stay 2 years T.T

Yes, the State Nomination Agreement thingy!!
It state that you agree to remain living and working in WA for the first 2 years and agree to register your address with the WA govt and keep them informed your contact details. Somemore got registration survey, settlement survey etc. Then proof of funds also...
I guess every state have different requirement then.

Yea WA is quite good in a sense that it is nearer to Msia. But summer in WA is killing...41 celcius in the day and 16 at night...

Yes need to show you have 20k in your account if you are single applicant.
Anyway, as long as PR granted, i will be good and stay in WA as long as they want. lol...
Applying PR under accountant is really tough now as they have halved accountant to half and now only limited 70 pointers get invitation.
i'm lucky enough to get invitation as a 65 pointer.
finger crossed for the result!

Thanks mate!!



Yea it is getting hotter nowadays!!!
Thanks so much mate

Hi Jianh,
I'm still in the middle of my 190.
Still waiting for the stupid certificate of good conduct from Msia which they advise me will take around of 2 months?!?!?!
My Aust PCC already out despite applying on the same day!!!

My agent said it might take 3 months to know whether PR granted.
So might be expected to leave around Feb/March i would say if everything come out positive.

Which part in WA you staying?

I would most probably still stay in SOR area around canning vale or thornlie.
More Asian...lol...
Coz i used to work in Perth before i apply my PR for about 3 years.
Familiar with that area already and rental is also cheaper.

Avoid Bentley.expensive rental due to Curtin and not safe due to too many international student. Can say many robber n thief also them...

Thornlie is cheap coz near gosnell. But canning vale depends which part.

Gosnell n armadale is cheaper but is a really dodgy area according to the local. Many abo...

Let me know when u going...!

Yea ikr!
Arghh, houses in Gosnells are so cheap compared to Maddington and Thornlie.
But everyone say no no to that area.
But then i always think that since i'm from Msia, these areas might be small cases...lol

Yeap, 2 months!
They said might be earlier but the standard processing time is max 2 months.
So u might lucky and get it fast or unlucky then 2 months sharp.
Is stated in their website, so i call them unbelievably and they just said this to me...

Lol thats what my sis said also.
Yea the houses in Maddington and Canning Vale is really nice.
Gosnells one mostly quite old and look very messy in term of housing distribution etc.



I just come back from WA la...applying PR offshore.
But was at Thornlie last time.
you?

fresh grad can apply graduate visa for 2 years then can convert PR straight. not meh?

oooo...como...rich ppl area a~lol

Why did i applied offshore...
Its such a long story...
I prev go Aussy on a work n holiday visa and was lucky that boss then sponsor me on a 457.
Boss attitude changed once 457 granted and was mean by reducing the office staff into halve and i have to take up all workloads.
(take up 3 persons work yet still have to cover temp staff work, ot till late night, ot sat,i ot no double but aussy staff have TT)
But i sabar for the sake of employer sponsor PR la...
However everything turn sour when i asked my boss if he would like to sponsor me since i've been there 2 years.
He said ok at first and then i engaged agent and get everything rolling.
Then he said he is willing to sponsor me only with the condition of bonding me 6 more years to be fair for him.
I actually agreed at first (cant believe i'm so dumb...) thinking that it is good at least i secured a job in current bad market.
But then he keep on scolding and shouting at me for nothing and blaming me for mistake either done by him or other staff.
At the same time he keep on giving excuses and not providing documents that agent needed for the visa.
He shouted at my agent and hang up on him without any reason.
My colleague actually eavesdropped that the boss said he dont want to sponsor me PR as he scare i'll resigned.

Since the boss have no intention to do this,so i decided to apply myself.
But then my 457 cancel once i resigned so i can only apply offshore lo

Yea i actually complaint it to the workfair.
However as i've resigned, the max they can do is warn the company and file a record. And they also make sure the company pay me everything accordingly.

My colleagues have been really supportive by telling me that they would become my witness if i wanted to raise it to higher authority.
But then thinking of the fees and hassle, i then just leave as i desperately need to get some fresh air...

Thanks so much mate! finger crossed my 190 works well too

But then as i didnt managed to record anything, i'll need my colleagues to bcome witness if i wanted to sue the company.
Then it will be very harsh for my colleagues as i dont really want to put them in troubles.

Yea, my sister also keep scolding me for such chicken act...
She is like i'll pay for everything if you want to sue your boss.
To be honest, i myself is quite disappointing towards myself. i just cant imagine how can i tolerate all this while. So not me...
Guess i'm too desperate to get the PR

Anyway, now i'm all up and positive again!
fresh haze in malaysia definitely make me tougher now,lol
And i've gain A LOT of weight to make me stronger...hahaha!
damn msia food...!!!

mate, mind to share which progress you currently in your 189 application?

To be honest, whether ppl want to migrate anot, i believe ppl will do what they think is best for them.
KVReninem just trying to provide information related to the topic here.
Even become a dishwasher if they are happier then i dont see a reason why its not ok.
Every job is respectful and i think if you have nothing better to say then just keep quiet!

Dont understand! lol...
Got my PR on the 1st Dec after all the hardwork!
Cant wait to go over and become a dishwasher...lol

Thank you so much...
