    @toAustraliaandbeyond @yuki_00 yes, that’s correct, explain the situation to the case officer via a cover letter. You don’t need to submit medical and police clearances upon visa lodging. Yes, you will get a CO contact as what @patotoy mentioned but so what? That’s fine, it’s not the end of the world if you get a contact from the CO. If one actually calls the immigration trunkline and get to speak to someone, they do recommend to submit these clearances when CO requests for them later on due to their time sensitivity, meaning these clearances are valid for just 12 months. This is to avoid the applicant from re-doing these clearances and spending money again in case the application decision may take longer to finalise. Also, the expiry of the date of entry when Visa is granted relies heavily on the expiry of these clearances which works to the applicant’s benefit in the end as he/she has more time between date of Visa grant and date of entry expiry to prepare for the big move.

    When the CO contacts you for the medicals, yes, you’ll be given 28 days to respond to that request but if you can’t meet this time period, you need to respond within this timeframe to advise the CO of the reason why you need more time. That’s also perfectly fine. We’ve had clients who have been in such a situation where we had to request an extension for valid reasons.

    Lastly, Better off to to do the medicals all at the same time so same time yung validity ng clearances.

    Good luck!

    @RheaMARN1171933 maraming Salamat hah. Very informative. Atleast now di n ako maxado mag-aalala. Cguro i-make sure ko lng na may copy aki ng recent contract nya pra incase n hingin merun akong maibibigay. So d po ako dapat mag-alala pla dun sa 28 days kung may valid reason nmn po.10 mos po kasi ang contrata ni hubby so nag-alala po aki n dahil sa tagal bka mabalewala n ung application. Just to confirm lng po kung tama ang pagkakaintindi ko po na yung medical po is di nmn tlga need sa paglodge ng visa and pde po xang gwin later on.

    Hello po. What is the minimum points now for Visa 189 Chemical Engineer stream? And how long is the approval period going after lodging EOI?
    Thanks in advance

    @edward2414 it’s 75 at the moment but don’t be fixated with just 189 visa. Your occupation is very competitive so you need to be open for other visa options.

    hello :) kapag ba may reference letter na, ok na hindi na mag attach ng certificate of employment from HR? medyo matanong kasi yung HR namin lalo na for COE’s na for general purposes (at hindi yung para sa ICA dito sa SG :) )
    yung reference letter ko e signed naman ng manager ko.
    thanks in advance sa makakasagot. :)

    Hi Guys,

    Ask ko lng about sa nomination na question part : "Number of dependents in addition to spouse/partner*" (??). Correct me if im wrong, kung may 2 kids ako I will put 2 here diba? hindi kasali yung wife ko or is its total dapat? so 3 dependent dapat lalagay ko? big deal ba to? kasi nilagay ko is 2 dependents lang.

    Thanks.

    Guys, I'm planning to lodge EOI for the meantime kahit 65pts plang but I have few questions po baka pwedeng pahelp.

    Questions:
    1. Yung sa pagfifile ba ng work experience is i-miminus ko na yung 2 years na deduction ng ACS?
    2. Makaka-Apekto ba ung position title ko sa current job ko as they changed it last Month pero same parin ng function?
    3. Pag naglodge ba ako ng EOI is my wife also needs to submit any English certification?
    In terms sa pag fill out ng family information, is it required to put my half sister/brother information or ok lang na hindi?

    Thank you po in advance.

    @kaloidq ako walang notatized document na pinasa. All colored scan copy. Yung support sa assessment lahat yun pinasa ko din. By the way. Ang ginawa ko sa part ko. After ko naka kuha ng invitation, i engaged an agent to do the lodgement part ng visa just to make sure na tama lahat ang papasa ko na documents.

    How much ang fee if visa lodging lang? If makakuha ako ng invitation, Ill seek probably the service of @RheaMRN1171933.

    Hi sir @d_slayer22

    Answers:
    1. Sa ACS result meron pong part na "The following employment after *month year* is considered to equate..." jan ka po mag start mag claim ng points. Other experiences from the past 10 years before this date will have to be entered in your EOI pero not claiming points po.

    3. Sa EOI po hindi pa. However pag na invite po kayo, kelangan nya mag take din.

    4. In terms sa pag fill out ng family information, tingin ko po hindi na required half siblings.

    Hope this helps.

    Share ko lang po, we just received the GRANT today for visa 189. It's an early Christmas present indeed, thank you Lord! I am of disbelief how fast it was, considering na 8 to 11 months ang processing. But ours was almost 3 months lang. We lodged it on Sep 5. Nagpa-medical on Nov 22 (w/o any contact from CO). Then received the email on Nov 30.. My job code is 263111, and only have my de facto partner as the secondary applicant.. Hope you guys receive yours as well.

    @ms_ane nagpa medical kami after visa lodging at hindi na namin hinintay yung CO to contact us para gawin un. afaik, 12 mos ung validity nung medical. yung sa HAP ID, meron naman dun sa immi account na letter for health assessment. dun mo siguro malalaman if you would still use your previous ID or not.

    @iamabcd , thank you so much sa information, one more question sir.

    1. Sa ACS result meron pong part na "The following employment after *month year* is considered to equate..." jan ka po mag start mag claim ng points. Other experiences from the past 10 years before this date will have to be entered in your EOI pero not claiming points po. --> So eenter ko parin sa EOI ung minus 2 yrs but minus po pagdating sa pagclaim ng points? Manual po ba ung pagclaclaim ng pts sa work experience?
