    @cutsiechick21 hindi naman necessary na sabay sabay kayo dapat basta need nyo la ma fullfil yung IED nyo then pwede bumalik muna yung iba sa SG/PH.. magkaka problem lang pag mag coconvert na kayo from 489 to 887 kasi lahat ng main applicant at dependent na kasama sa 887 need ma fulfil yung 2yrs na stay sa regional state kasi kung hindi hindi sila applicable for 887. madedelay lang yung 887 application nyo hanggang sa ma fulfil niyo lahat yung 2yrs

    @cutsiechick21. Same concern din sa amin. In our case si hubby (dependent) muna mauuna tapos sunod na kami ng mga bata pag nagkawork na sya at nakaipon ng konti. Ive read na wala ng visa conditions ngayon. Kahit mauna ang dependent mag IE ok lang. Correct me if Im wrong. Though tama si @Hunter_08 madelay lang ang conversion to 887 as all applicants including dependents should satisfy the 2 years stay. Visa 489 din kami.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    Inisip ko lang mga ka batch, with all the occurrences ng mga na CO contact asking to submit documents na na-upload naman before pa, pwede kayang mag duplicate send nalang tayo para as much as possible ma DG na (or para wala nang excuse ang mga CO for delays :)) ) Imagine, it would take another 3-5months para ireview ulit ang resubmitted docs mo kahit na it wasn't your fault :((

    So far based on ImmiTrcker, ang mga nakikitang ko na palagi na-CO contact at pina resubmit ulit are:
    -Cert. of English as medium of Instruction ng dependent
    -Skills Assessment
    -Marriage Cert
    -PTE Scores submission from PTE site
    -PCC

    And if we should resend sa mga most common docs na hinihingi ulit, we might as well do it after the ImmiAccount enhancement (Mar 3) para sure tayo na bago na ang system, baka kase dahil din yun sa previous system issues.

    I wonder if sa 189 lang ba ito nangyayari, or meron din sa 190 / 489?
    Just really trying to figure this out if system issue ba talaga or an excuse to delay? :)

    What are your thoughts peeps? Open Forum lang po ito :)

    @onin111 sir what I did with my PtE results, inupload ko sya plus I did a printscreen of an email from PtE that they will send the results to DIBP kumbaga para may proof ako against them that it was already sent.

    My 2 cents on this issue, the Aussie government is really pushing reforms to slash migration, it could really be because of this or meron talagang system issue (they might be migrating systems) kaya may mga files na nawawala. Either way, it would help if you upload the items they need and do #feedback like what pareng @Heprex did, malay natin biglang dumating a golden mail.

    @heero_yuy51
    That's a good Idea na mag send ng other supporting docs noh? I might as well send the same docs but in page batches para kunyare higher resolution files pero per parts kase lalaki yung size, basta ma duplicate lang ang docs.

    I really think yun yung reason din eh, pero I thought na sa ITA ang reduction nila, grabe nga ang limit ng numbers sa invites ngayun.

    Yeah I saw boss Heprex did sa mga feedback, will do that when the time comes.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.
