@thegreatiam15, haha oo, looking forward din ako to having my own car (and house) eventually.
@doon, tignan mo yung signature ko, andyan details. Wala akong kakilala sa ACT e. So start from scratch tlga, from friends, house, job. Kaya di din kita masasagot sa mga yan. kelan ka mag file ng visa?

jeorems

@bookworm - salamat po mam, yep i already submitted na ung EOI ko pero ang pinili ko lang is ung ACT kasi dun ko lang nakita na available ung work ko, di ko nag try sa ibang state kasi nagtanong ako before sa WA, ang sagot nila is pag wala dun sa list nila is hindi nila maiisponsoran...

brandog

hi guys! anyone going to canberra on march 2014?

bookworm

question, kelan ang pinaka ok na month pumunta dyan at maghanap ng work? From what I've gathered before, Nov-Dec are slow months at di muna sila nag hire dahil sa holidays. Tama ba? So dapat, mga sept or oct?

jeorems

may changes na sa sponsored jobs sa ACT. Naka-closed na ung ibang open app pero effective on 24 Feb. So kung pwde na kayong mag submit, submit na agad...just submitted mine yesterday for verification and praying it would go through...

Here is the soon to be updated list...

bookworm

oh no, closed na ang job ko by then. Pending pa din yung ACT sponsorship ko e. What happens kung di ko pa din makuha sponsorship ko by Feb 24? ma reject ba ako?

jeorems

@bookworm - as long as nasa processing na ung sponsorship mo i think it should be ok. ako nga ngayon pa lang nagpasa ng for verification. I would send an email later on at tatanungin ko kung anong mangyayari but praying na am right na as long as submitted everything before the deadline then it should be ok.

bookworm

@Jeorems...naku sana nga umabot tayo. gano ba katagal ang verification?

jeorems

@bookworm - sakto un nga din sana magtatanong din ako dito kung gaano ba katagal ung job verification eh. Try ko din magtanong sa sa FB page nila. Ung guy naman dun is sumasagot sa FB messages. Update kita pag may sagot na.

bookworm

waah! isa pang problema, mag expire na yung vetassess ko by Apr 3. May sir, may alam ba kayo sa pagpapa renew ng vetassess?

doon

@bookworm eto ung akin 2 months inabot ung pagaantay sa ACT .
ACT state nomination lodged on 12/11/2013
Invitation received dtd 17/1/2014

jeorems

@bookworm - try mo to ask ung vetassess kung pwede maextend ung validity ng skills assessment mo. baka naman umabot sa lahat, I mean baka sakto lang ung out ng SS mo pati DIAC invitation then accept mo agad para ma-process before ma expire...pero better check na rin kung pwede pa extend or kung merong renewal.

oks na ung sa verification, took them 1 1/2 day...

Nag email ako sa vetassess, puwede pa reissue, mga AU 60 ata. ok na din.
So dahil na verify na, pasok ka na sa list, di ka na affected nung bagong list?

jeorems

@bookworm - glad to hear that...yep, pwede na akong mag submit for SS so saktong sakto lang. plan to submit by March 1, need ko pa pa notaryo ung financial ek ek...

bookworm

@jeorems, wait, march 1 ka pa mag submit? E d b tanggal na yung work mo from the updated list?

quelly

Updating my signature....praise be to God!

quelly

Hi @kabayan! Now ko lang uli nakita signature mo..congrats sa visa grant..God is good!

kakapass ko lang ng application today..muntik na ko hindi umabot kung hindi ko nabasa yung post dito ng isang mabait na tao (name will be added later as I forgot who..hihih!). I'm sure busy ka na ngayon sa preparation for migration.

quelly

Thanks, @bookworm Unfortunately, mas mababa jan sa nakalagay ang ipinasa ko for me and hubby. Sana di maging reason for denial.

bookworm

@quelly, sana nga hindi. ang tagal ng pag iintay! wala pa din ACT SS ko haha naiinip na ako. uuwi ako end of this month para kumuha ng NBI clearance (kahit wala pa ACT SS) para lang ma gather ko na docs.

BeBBang

Good morning po. Closed na sa ACT yung 313112 occupation. Tanong ko lang po, are they going to open it again by July 2014?

jeorems

@bookworm - yep out na sa list pero ang effective date is 24 Feb. Bale na beat ko ung deadline kasi nakapag submit naman ako before na nag take effect ung bagong listing nila.

Na-verify ung job ads na sinubmit ko nung 18 Feb then they gave me a month to submit for ACT nomination...

6-8 weeks ung ACT nomination di ba? wala pa naman atang 6-8 weeks ung SS request mo. wait wait lang...para makaipon pa ng pangbayad.

jeorems

Good morning po. Closed na sa ACT yung 313112 occupation. Tanong ko lang po, are they going to open it again by July 2014?

hello po. realistically po i guess nobody can answer your question...antabayan nio na lang po by that time. medyo nakakaschock din kasi parang ang bilis nilang magupdate this time ung last year more than a year bago naglabas ng update which is effective nung Aug.

Try to add po ung FB page nila Canberra Your Future. regular ung updates nila dun...ung website kasi nila not unless na regular mong bibisitahin dun lang makakakita ng updates.

kung meron po kayong kamag-anak pwede pa po ata kahit closed na o merong job offer. well hopefully magopen ung occupation nio ulit. all the best po.

bookworm

@jeorems, a ok. Akala ko sabi mo sa March 1 ka pa mag submit. So yung verify at pag submit mo, medyo same lang pala yun. Good luck sa atin! hehe

bookworm

@BeBBang, according to your signature, secondary applicant ka lang. Hubby (I assume) is 263111, which is part of SOL. Why are you applying in canberra? You don't have to limit yourself

jeorems

@jeorems, a ok. Akala ko sabi mo sa March 1 ka pa mag submit. So yung verify at pag submit mo, medyo same lang pala yun. Good luck sa atin! hehe

hehe medyo magulo ata pagkaka explain ko hihihi...march 1 ako magsubmit for sponsorship then praying that everything would work well, after all this would be my last shot for OZ migration or migration...hope to "see us and our family" soon sa ACT...

bookworm

@jeorems, so technically, di ka pa nga nagsusubmit ng ACT sponsorship, pero parang inextend nila ang palugit mo dahil napaverify mo na?

thegreatiam15

mga bossing gaano ba kabilis nagrant sa inyo SS nung mga meron na?...specially para dun sa mga nasa limited or open na occupation?...

salamat...
