yup 3 pages lang na receive ko... isa ibabalik sa NSW at yung isa is yung last page ng Form 1 application...
Buti na lang talaga nagtanong ka, isip ko kasi baka hindi napadala ng NSW yung mga naunang page ng Form 1, isip ko baka nahulog habang pinapasok nila sa envelope o kaya nagkamali sila at kulang napadala nila.... now that you mentioned it, wala na kaba ko hehehehe...

Medyo nag iisip ako NSW state sponsorship din, question lang. Hindi na kasi ako nagbackread. Sa payment po sa BPI, how much inabot na additional fees for bank transfer? Pwede po kaya if meron ka relative dun sa Australia, sila na magbayad by depositing money sa account nila? Ano po ba need i-attach na proof of payment sa ipapada sa kanila through snail mail?
Pahabol, sabi kasi sa PDF
http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/5788/STNI-Update-List-of-Occupations-22.09.11.pdf
"Qualification required in field relevant to occupation" na column, Bachelor's Degree.. paano if AQF Diploma Major in Computing assessment ni ACS, does that mean hindi qualified sa NSW State Sponsorship kaya? Thanks sa makakasagot.

@icebreaker, dapat alam mo bank charges na ikakarga sa ibabayad mo kung meron man kasi baka yung 300AUD mo mabawasan o cguraduhin mo sa Anz na meron kapa bang ibang bank charges na babayaran in case. Wire transfer or swift din kasi ang ginawa namin sa ACS skills assessment namin nagpa sobra na kami para sa bank charges pero kinulang pa rin kasi binawasan ng dinaanang bank para sa bank charges. Dapat din nakalagay yung name mo sa bank transaction para ma recognise o mai match yung payment mo sa documents ng NSW sponsorship. Suggestion lang po baka makatulong.
yung bank charges binayaran ko na rito locally nung nagpagawa ako sa bpi ng bank draft... hindi exact 300AUD binayad ko nung nagpagawa ako ng bank draft, may binayaran akong charges at documentary stamp etc... tapos yung bank draft exact 300AUD na, pede na iencash yun ng NSW Migration... it is as good as cash... yun din ang sabi saken ng bpi, kasi marami sa kanila nagpapagawa ng ganon... lets wait and see pag nakarating na sa NSW yung documents ko... balitaan ko kayo...
--------------
as for the qualification required, im not too sure about that.. is AQF Diploma Major in Computing same din ng points sa Bachelors Degree? If it is, then baka ok na rin naman. By the way, I saw your IELTS result, mukhang ok naman except for remarking sa Writing. Why you need all 8 pala? Kulang ka ba sa points? All 8 din target ko dati eh, pero ok na lang, may SS naman..

Hindi naman sa need yun 8, nice to have lang. Sakto na points ko sa 10pts ang IELTS. Sobra pa ng 5pts if meron state sponsorship. Sige will take this route din, kapag nakalagpas ako sa IELTS na. Binigyan ako sakit sa ulo eh. Hehe. Malaki naman chance for remarking kasi 0.5 lang sabi ng iba natin forumers.

Thank you soulmate. Hahaha! Nag-email na ako. Tinignan ko yun pdf nila na parang meron yes/no for qualification, wala naman ito dun. Anyway pass naman sa ACS yun skills assessment ko, I guess wala problem. Hintay ko na lang IELTS ko maging okay. Salamat ulit sa inyo 2 ni @lifehouse.

Ang technique dyan, kapag nag-apply ka sa Victoria, mag-apply ka rin sa ibang states. Hindi totoo yung dapat may commitment ka na isang state lang ang dapat applyan mo para ma-aprub ka. Yung iba dito sabay-sabay nag-apply sa mga states, sabay-sabay rin na-aprub.
Sa case ko, 6 na buwan ako ng naghintay sa Victoria, therefore 6 na buwan din ang nasayang. Sabi sa british forum, hindi raw ako pwedeng mag-apply sa ibang states kasi may pending raw akong application sa Victoria. Yun ang pagkakamali ko, naniwala ako sa kanila. Nang dumating ang result ng Victoria, DENIED ako, kesyo ang occupation ko raw is no longer employable. Then nung mag-try na ko in other states, closed na lahat ang ICT application. Kaya ayun napasubo ako sa 175 dahil desperado na ako. Anyway ok lang kasi na-aprub naman ako at napaganda pa ang visa ko hehehe.
Ang advice ko sa inyo GO, applyan nyo ang lahat ng states, para kung ma-reject man kau ng isa, may chance pa kayo sa iba.

Supposing naglodge na ako ng 175 (before july 2012), then for example natanggap ako ng Vic SS, pede ko ba idagdag or palitan pa ung nalodge ko?
What I was thinking kase, apply ako VIC SS, if wala pa den reply by June, magsubmit na ako ng 175.
