it was in august 2017 when i moved to australia as an international student to pursue my masters
but it was on june 22 2022 when my international student journey has completed because i have
received my permanent residency of australia on that day officially i have stayed in australia
for over four years and it was quite a stressful phase for me um while waiting for my permanent
residency grant and today i would like to take you guys through that process and explain you how
i secured my points and rest of the other details you can put down in the comment section whatever
questions you have i'll try to answer all of them and don't forget to follow me on instagram because
i've got ton of valuable information videos right there without any further ado let's get started
hi everyone this is sireni so let's talk about my back story first i've moved to australia in
order to pursue my masters of information and communication technology from la trobe university
and that was back in 2017. my experience with lavrov university while pursuing my masters was
great i created some amazing memories and if i have to go back and study at the university i
will still choose latrobe university because i think i've got that connection with that
university because it's really good it is one of my first universities um we're abroad away from
india studying and i've got some amazing friends from that university as well the reason why i say
my experience is amazing because i was full-time studying at la shmoop university apart from that
i was managing my work but i work and i was also managing creating content for you guys so
those two years were quite hectic but i loved that hard work i graduated in 2019 and that's when i've
applied for my temporary residence um which is about in third quarter of 2019 and when i say
third quarter of 2019 i've received my tr probably two months after i've applied and around september
or october of 2019 i've taken admission to my professional year as well after about six months
of getting into professional year i started to focus on securing my 20 points for my pte as well
now after age i believe pt is only where we can secure highest points which is 20
if you're getting the highest bands in all of the modules fortunately after a good amount
of practice i've given my test i've given my pte test and that was given at melbourne polytechnic
um i did give one test at rmit center here in melbourne and i got i ended up with 21 or 22 in
speaking which i understood as a problem with the equipment but again i booked another test
at melbourne polytechnic and then i've given my test and i've got 79 and above in all of the four
modules which is eight bands and then i could secure 20 points for that pte once pt is done i
was still pursuing my professional year because it's about 11 months including the internship
i wanted to focus on ngati the ngati is not as affordable as pt test it is quite expensive it
is about 800 in order to give a test and i didn't want to take any chance because i cannot afford a
second uh attempt because again that that's sixteen hundred dollars in total so um what
i've done is i've enrolled in hindi ngati because back then even though my mother tongue is tellable
telugu wasn't one of the official languages that ngati conducts the test so i had to choose hindi
and i started getting coached for hindi nati but after joining in hindi ngati after about two or
three weeks the nati group has officially released that uh telugu is also being added so i was quite
lucky in that um area and then i immediately started my telugu ngati coaching and then
gave my test and fortunately i cleared that as well in the first attempt itself so my five
points were secured even in ngati so by the time i've given my naughty test i already had pte and i
finished my professional year this is when i have launched my eoi so this was around november 2020
but trust me i've heard nothing from the department until july 2021. in july 2021 the new
rules of victorian state government has released by then lot of people were moving from melbourne
to other areas other regional areas i did consider that option to get my pr but i thought
why not give a shot stay here in victoria until december and see if things will work
for me otherwise i did have a thought of moving to probably sydney adelaide or any other regional
areas as well and then in july 2021 the rules were quite favorable to my situation and that's
when i launched my roi and fortunately i did have a job in my field back then as well by the time
the rules came in and then i launched my roi and i got invited i got invited in july or august august
2021 i believe and then after two weeks of my pre-invite that is the first invite that we
received from the department i submitted all the evidence of the documentation that they requested
for and then in two weeks of um time period i've received my final and white as well and after
receiving my final invite that's when i've had um i've had to get my police check done indian
police check done um and i did also have to get my birth certificate and all of those documents
and it was on october 4th 2021 when i launched my 190 visa application
so from october 2021 till uh june 22 2022 was my weight weight period and it was in april
so from october 2021 till april 2022 i've heard nothing from the department on april 23rd of 2022
i've um have been requested to submit a few more documents um as an evidence to my employment which
then i submitted and on june 22nd 2022 i received my grant so it was a long wait like extremely long
wait um but i know a lot of people have been waiting longer than me so i still think i'm
fortunate enough for you know getting my grand and yeah i hope this video was quite helpful for all
of you if you have any questions go ahead put down in the comment section i'll try to answer them
and um here after the kind of videos that i would be making would be more um in terms of my
current experiences because i'm no longer an international student
um the experience wouldn't be it i have to churn it out from my previous content itself
but um the videos that i would like to make now is more in relation with you know how what i'm
experiencing currently so i hope you will enjoy that as well and i'll see you next week bye
