    may naka try na po ba dito na wlang ibang proof like payslip or income tax at COE lang ung available na proof? My company kasi ako sa pinas dati for 2 years kaso maliit na company at wla na akong payslip at hindi rin hinihulugan ung tax or SSS ko, at nag change pa ito nag company name ngaun. Pero binigyan ako ng COE kaso baka kung e claim ko to ito pa ang dahilan kasi kulang ako sa supporting documents.
    Thanks.

    @se29m
    Hi How about for Developer/Programmer? estimate points ko is 60 that is kung hindi ko isasama ung partner points na 5pts at kung lalampas na ako sa birthday ko next year which is mag 33yrs old na ako.

    Another question, if mag process ako ng IOE this year, like lets say around august/sept which I am still 32 yrs old. Yung 30pts padin po ba dapat ang maclaclaim kong points?

    BTW my birthday is on April next year. (turning 33)

    @Noodles12 For Developer/Programmer occupations (2613xx), try to get at least 65 points if you want to be invited earlier. Sobrang dami kasi ng applicants kaya pro rated ang invitations. You'll still be invited kung 60 points kaso baka matagalan based sa current trend.

    @Cassey panu nangyari sa case nung friend mo kasi ang linaw ng rule na you must be the same age at the time if invitation to secure the points diba. So if lumagpas na siya sa birthday niya nang wala pang invite should it be na inupdate niya yung EOI niya muna to reflect the change?

    Thanks po sa mga nag clarify.

    @Cassey same question with @jmban33. So if ever makapag file ako ng EOI within aug/sept, may approximately 7 months pa ako until my 33rd birthday. Do you think I should target the 30pts or go for the safer option na 25pts. I believe either naman ng option papasok ako sa 60pts pero syempre na more points the better diba?

    I haven't seen yung EOI form eh so bear with me. wala ako idea sa from.

    Kaibigan lang ng kaibigan namin, not directly na related sa amin. Just recently lang din ngyari. Not sure with his entire circumstances though. It could have been na di ba when we apply for EOI and be invited we need to provide proofs for the claimed points? So since 33 na siguro xa nung magaapply na ng visa ano pa ang magiging proof niya.. Just an assumption though, dko kasi direct friend kaya dko matanong.

    Type in Skill Select sa youtube, may video doon ng paggawa ng EOI para magkaidea ka kung ano mga questions. Hmm, depende kasi sa occupation ceiling din. Kung medyo tight yung competition for your nominated occupation it's always best to have higher points. As long as magiging diretso yung application mo, like mainvite ka kaagad then makapagfrontload ng documents aabot naman siguro age mo before you turned 33. If you're planning to apply, start collating your documents para pag nainvite ka lodge na kaagad.

    I think what happened there is nag EOI siya ng 32 siya and then nung nabirthday siya ng wala pang invite he was not able to update it and them dumating yung invite so nilaban na niya kasi pag inupdate niya yung eoi niya at the back of the line nanaman yung eoi

    Hi! Question, is it necessary ba na ilagay ang work experiences within 10 years sa EOI? What if kung hindi naman siya related? Wala kasi ako na mga COE from my previous companies tapos contractual lang din that time. Baka kasi hingan ako ng proof of employment and then baka magkaproblema kasi wala ako maiprovide. Tsaka hindi ko na matandaan yun mga dates kung kelan ako nagjoin dun sa mga company na yun. :-S
