    @jeorems nagulat nga rin ako. di ko expected na magclose sila agad. to think na nasa 1st Q palang ng taon. no choice but to wait for July. I just hope na it will be re-opened..

    Waiting for God's perfect timing....

    @bookworm VIC nalang kasi open sa occupation ni hubby and basing from the forum, mahigpit sila sa SS. kaya we opted to go to ACT. Kaso ayan, nagulat kami at nagclosed naman na both saken at kay hubby. We'll just wait for July nalang siguro. By that time, I hope many states will open doors for us. :)

    Waiting for God's perfect timing....

    @jeorems, so technically, di ka pa nga nagsusubmit ng ACT sponsorship, pero parang inextend nila ang palugit mo dahil napaverify mo na?
    @Bookworm - yes, hindi pa ako nagsubmit kasi kapapa-notaryo ko pa lang nung finacial statement ko kahapon then I need to scan, submit ko na din mamaya para di na mag-tagal tutal ready na naman lahat.

    Well, ganun ang pagkakaintindi ko pero I am praying pa din na tama nga ung gut feel ko, i mean kung no chance naman they should have inform me agad. Nakalagay naman sa email nila na I was given 30 days to submit the necessary documents for SS.

    @BeBBang, that's because 263111 is in SOL (http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/skilled-occupations-lists/sol.aspx).
    Ibig sabihin, puwede kayo mag apply ng visa 189. Or kailangan nyo ba ng state sponsorship para sa points?
    @Bookworm - yes, hindi pa ako nagsubmit kasi kapapa-notaryo ko pa lang nung finacial statement ko kahapon then I need to scan, submit ko na din mamaya para di na mag-tagal tutal ready na naman lahat.

    @bookworm 45 points (25 - age, 10 - school, 10 - exp). so there's no other way but to take ielts and ss or ielts and partner points if we're going for visa 189.

    weather ngayon sa Canberra? Para makapagdala kame ng jackets if malamig na po. thanks!
    Okay lang naman magdala ng portable hard disk pero ang hindi ko alam kung pinapayagan ang downloaded movies. Its up to you na lang, ramdom naman ang checking sa Airport pero ready ka rin dapat kung na tyempuhan ka sorry na lang may penalty fees na ipapabayaran sa iyo dipende sa dami ng dowload mo. I'm watching full movies in youtube madami dun English movies i type mo lang ang title movie at dadagan ng words ng "full movie" sa search. Kapag nakita mo ang result sa time na may mahigit isang oras malamang yun full movie yun.

    Australia's seasons are almost the opposite of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere and the seasons in Australia are as follows.
    Spring - September to November
    Summer - December to February
    Autumn / Fall - March to May
    Winter - June to August

    Sa ngayun Autumn na, malamig ng konti kapag sa madaling araw. Ang weather temperature kapag araw ay nasa 18deg to 25deg. Minsan nagbabago ang klima halimbawa kapag mainit ngayun or humid kinabukasan maginaw. Minsan naman cloudy kinabukasan o sa sususnod na araw ay sunny. Hindi pa naman maginaw kapag araw pero expecting yan Mga starting May paginaw ng paginaw na deretso na yan till winter.

    Goodluck and God bless

    @bookworm umm hindi po hehe lam ko po andun pa talaga sya sa list :) sometime last year nagclosed po yung retail buyer na occupation sa act csol list along with other occupations. I want to know po sana kung meron dito nakakaalam when yun nagclose hehe like baka yung iba dito eh kasama din na na closed yung status ng nominated occupation nila. Im asking this lng po kc worry ng ate ko na bka by the time na may skills assessment na sya at ielts(most likely august cgro or sep) eh bka closed nanaman yung status nung occupation nya sa act state sponsorship list hehe

    @kremitz, gamble talga yan. Kaya nga ang maganda, meron ka na nyang mga yan para pag nakita nyong merong state, makapag file na kayo agad. Ako, I filed vetassess 2 years ago. Walang state na nag sponsor, kahit pasado points ko. So I had to wait and constantly check if there was a state that would sponsor my skill, until recently, ayun nga yung ACT sponsorship.

    Hope this answers your question.

    @kremitz, technical writer (212415). Skills assessment almost expired so I had vetassess reissue a statement. Wasn't expensive. IELTS, I only took that last year so it was still valid.
