    @aeshna kelan ka nacontact ng CO for additional docs? My bf was also contacted for SG clearance on March 29 and he completed it on April 10. He just uploaded the doc in immi website, clicked on the "Update application" button, and replied on top of the email sent by CO. Waiting din siya for grant now. I guess mas mabilis tlaga processing for direct grants (15 calendar days from the time of lodging). for those contacted for additional docs, it seems bumabalik ang application sa queue after supplying the additional docs. First in first out yata ang method nila tas based on priority level pa. Hintay hintay lang baka naman lumabas na this week or next. Pasok pa kc kayo sa processing times kaya it's not advisable pa to follow up.

    thanks @fedsquare! mar 7 ako nacontact na CO for the COC and i was able to upload it on mar 21. since then wala pa ulit ako naririnig from CO. hahah excited lang! kapraning din kse ung waiting time. hopefully nga meron na this week or next. :) thanks!
    @aeshna, wag ka madepress, pag down ka, tignan mo timeline ko, hehe, hopeful pa din ako hanggang ngayon... in due time... maghanda ka na lang maige, prepare ka ng maraming baon sa big move.... last hurrah na tong sa atin, konting kapit na lang, palagay ko mauna ka pa sa akin ma grant, kasi dami na nauna sa akin....

    Hi! Medyo nalilito pa ako kung kelan ang right timing ng pagkuha ng police clearances/NBI clearance at magpamedical. Ano po ba ang validities ng mga docs na to?

    I'm about to have my docs submitted for EA assessment by end of this month. Gusto ko sana mai-ready na lahat ng requirements for visa lodge para tuloy2 na (assuming and praying everything goes well :\"> ) Need ko kasi clearances from Pinas, Kuwait, and Qatar (current location).

    Any inputs? thanks!

    @chuckiebhoi mas maige ang police clearance from other countries secure mo as soon as may invite ka na para d sya ma expire. usually kasi 6 months lang yang validity nyan. sa NBI naman one year validity nyan kaya kuha ka na agad, mabilis lang naman mag renew ifever...

    @aeshna konting hintayan na lang yan. Let's pray tomorrow na dumating ang grant kc holiday sa knila on tuesday. My bf is also getting a bit impatient lalo nat naunahan ko pa siya considering na nauna sya naglodge. Im guessing same kayo ng CO ni bf. Does your CO's name start with C and come from Adelaide? Tnx.

    @chuckiebhoi Just to share, ako kumuha ako ng PCC dto sa Jeddah nung Nov. 2016 pa. Akala ko kc maiinvite na ko ng Dec or Jan. Pero inabot ko ng pro-rata at increase ng cutoff pts. To cut it short, nung naglodge ako ng visa last April5, medyo kabado ko sa PCC kung ihohonor pa rin ng DIBP. Nagpplan nako kumuha ulet before end ng April kc iniisip ko bka maexpire na nang di pa ko naggrant. Good thing nman at bago pa mag May eh nagrant na at di na nanghingi si CO ng bagong PCC.

    @2pe Thanks for sharing! paano nalalaman ung pro rata at cutoff pts increase? dito ako medyo nalilito pa. eto rin ang worry ko kasi based sa occupation ceilings sa website for telecom engr, 838 out of 1000 na(occupation ceiling value to invitations to date). ayaw ko na kasi sanang hintayin pa ung July para mareset yan.

    sa anong part ba ng application process ka makakasigurado na bibigyan ka na ng "slot" for visa? during ITA ba? or unsure yan hangga't walang visa grant?

    @chuckiebhoi 263311 ba ANZSCO code mo? If yes, then wala sya sa mga occupations na under pro-rata. This means yung standard 60pts ang minimum required pts in your occupation to get invited. The highest your pts are, the soonest you'll get the invite. So, kung gusto mong ma invite agad, work on ur way to increase your pts. Points are based on Age, Education, Work Experience and English Test. One tip I'd give you is increase your pts in English Test. Try to maximise and get the 20 pts (band 8 to in IELTS or above 79 for PTE tests). Yung pts sa Engish test na lang kc maigagalaw mo since fixed na ang age, and yung education and skills assessment mo hindi mo na din magagalaw once lumabas na assessment result.

    Once meron ka na ITA (or na invite ka na in Skillselect), you have a secure slot na. ITA is like your golden ticket. As what others suggest here, wait till you get invited muna. Increase your pts if you can. Eto ang pinakamahirap na part. Some here waited like 6-10months to get invited. Worry on your police clearances after invitation na, or only when you have extra time. Once you get invited, you'll be given ample time to lodge. Hope this helps.

    hello, whats pro rata in terms of invitations? less than 20 na lang nakalagay sa Analyst Programmer sa occupational ceiling PERO may naka note din na puno na. I was expecting na staggered yung pag invite, like may alloted every month, and higher points will be invited, so until june meron pa :-) .
    anyways, just submitted EOI...:-)

    @Strayven pro-rata is when they have a backlog and they backtrack eois submitted at an earlier time (like 3-6months ago). But if your pts are above average, they invite u 1st than those they're backtracking. ohh yes it says this occupation already reached its ceiling last march invitation round, but i can see that there's still 14 available slots. Baka manual selection ang iniinvite nla? Not sure on this one. Ilang pts ka? Goodluck!

    @Strader in my case and some people i know, yung same biopage na sinubmit lang nmen to skill assessing body ginamit namen (pina-CTC na namin siya before for that purpose). The upload page in immi website says na if colored scan yung maprovide, no need for this, pero kung hiningi tlaga ni CO, eh better comply with it.

    As for transcript and diploma, same as passport, eto din ung gnamit nmen for skills assessment. If you have the original copy (yung provided ng registrar niyo), you may certify it din sa law office. Kc baka ndi nla inohonor ang registrar's certification that it's a true copy.

    Hello @Strader i would think un lang sa kid niyo ang kulang. Medyo matagal pala ang balik ng CO pag ganyan ah. I initially thought mabilis lang kapag may initial contact na pero from my bf's experience and the trend im seeing here and in immitracker, medyo nauuna pa ang mga DG. Kaya try to submit the requested additional docs as soon as possible. Goodluck!

    guys, may email ba ng confirmation ng EOI? i only got the account created email pero na complete ko na sa SS yung EOI.

    But as per Border.gov.au.. Once you submit your completed EOI, you will receive a confirmation notification from SkillSelect..
