I would like to ask for your help regarding the online application to EA. I have read in their booklet that they prefer online application, and to do this one must need to upload colour scans of the original documents. I have an inquiry regarding the IELTS test results. Do I still need to upload the scanned copy of the orginal TRF? Or should I ask the testing center to provide the original TRF to EA? Also, since uploading of colour scans of original documents is done in the online application, does this mean that I don't anymore need to prepare the certified true copy of my docs. Please enlighten me. Thank you very much.

Hehe sana di ka lalo naguluhan.
Some agents will suggest alot of things making thing looks complicated that you will be convinced that you really need their service, May kilala ako na nag agent, He is an engineer, ang advise sa kanya kumuha ng assessment from both EA and Vetassess, pareho naman siya na nakakuha ng positive assessment. Humaba lang process kasi chinecheck ng agent yung CDR at essay niya every time, umabot ng 1 year ang pagawa ng CDR niya. At the end, namili sila which assessment to submit. In my friend's mind ang galing daw ng strategy ng agent niya worth it daw kahit nagbayad sya ng malaki. In my mind I was able to get my CDR in 5 months naman, wala pa ako binayaran na agent fee. Anyway its all upto to the applicant how confident and or time he has to fully understand the procedures.

Ano specialisation mo?
Did you monitor your status sa EA website?
After "Queud for Assessment" status, nagchange ba siya to something like "Assessment in Progress"? If so, ilang days bago lumabas result?
