and regarding time, be very careful kc dun aq nawala sa concentration. ung invigilator sabi ng sabi ng time, walangjo. praktis ka din if necessary kc un ang talagang kina worry ko that time. kala ko magaling aq magsulat to the point na hindi aq nagpraktis at all. aun during the exam, nagcramming aq sa time and nung binilang ko kinulang aq sa number of words, buti na lang meron pang 10 mins kaya pinagdadagdagan ko. kala ko di aq aabot ng 7, pero aun dala ng prayers naka 8 pa din aq sa writin hehe.
FYI, walang gap ang writing. meaning ung letter and essay, within an hour and nasa sau kung panu mo un pagkakasyahin. ung 20 mins and 40 mins, bale guide mo lng un. but in case matapos mo ung letter in 15 mins pd ka na mag umpisa ng essay, vv.
good luck! aq din nininerbyos na para sa exam ng fiancee ko.

Re payslips naman, if pwede pa sya pa-reprint sa company nya ngayon, mas ok. If hindi na, pwede nya pakita is bank statements nya that will show that his salaries are credited to his account. If talagang wala, again submit all his employment records dun sa current company nya. The more evidences, the better.
I have a template of the Statutory Declaration. I'll send it to you tonight.

Re your question, the answer is no. Ikaw ang magdedetermine kung sang category ka ng SOL then you will identify your nominated occupation in that SOL. The SOL that you're going to use depends on the type of visa you're applying for. Eto po sabi sa DIAC site.
If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2011 and you are not nominated by a State or Territory Government, you must nominate an occupation from Schedule 1 of the Skilled Occupation List.
If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2011 and you are nominated by a State or Territory Government you must nominate an occupation from either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 of the Skilled Occupation List.
Once you have chosen your nominated occupation, example Civil Engineer, lahat ng documents mo that will show you have that skills, yung ang susubmit mo sa EA para ma-assess nila qualifications and skills mo as Civil Engineer.

I already compiled all my documents for Engineer's australia assessment except for one. Kasi current company ko dito sa UAE is not giving me an employment certificate as per the format required ng EA they can only provide employment certificate as per company policy daw may job title but without the job description.
In this regard, how can i proceed? is it ok I will make statutory declaration for this case? Can any one help me and send me a specimen copy to my email [email protected]
Thank you so much in advance. This will be a big help since I am almost complete with my documents and this one is the only thing holding me back

Yes, you can use a statutory declaration but you have to support it with other documents like contract (which sometimes have the roles and responsibilities of an employee), payslips, or any employment records you have.
I can send you a template tonight. That's for closed companies but it's easy to modify based on your need.

One more clarification even if one of my career episode is with this company is it fine to use the statutory declaration along with the supporting docs?
sana di na ako dumaan sa agent if nakita ko tong forum na to earlier. They are insisting na dapat yung prescribed employment cert.

Ok lang naman na insist ni agent mo na prescribed COE ang ipasa mo, yun talaga the best. Pero worst case na wala talaga, may other ways naman which is Stat. Dec. nga.

Anyway, one more clarification regarding dun sa PRC certification did you guys submit only the certified true copy of the PRC certification and board rating or you need to submit the one authenticated by DFA tapos nka red ribbon. I'm a bit confused.
Thanks!

I only submitted the scanned copies of the PRC certificate & PRC ID (online lodgement) and they were fine.
