Isang state na lang ang pag-asa ko na puedeng mag nominate sa akin (nasa CSOL yun occupation ko) at puede rin bigla bigla alisin yun sa listahan tulad ng ginawa ng WA. Sa website ng SkillSelect malayo pa yung ceiling sa number of invitations issued, bakit inalis na nila ng wala man lang warning?
Bakit kasi hindi ako nagpa-assess kaagad. Haaaaaayyy.

@rei_ya in my case, sa source of funds mo, i try to give all the possible sources like:
1. liquid funds mo in the form of cash, savings, bonds, etc.
2. try to include din yung investments nyo like real estate, car, etc then assuming na ibebenta mo yun, what will be the value after the sale kasi additional source din yun.
3. then in our case, here in UAE, when we resign, may gratuity pay kami parang service pay, computed based on the number of service. isinama ko din yun.
all in just add that up to strengthen your capacity to live in AU while looking for work.

"Applicants are expected to have sufficient funds to enable them to maintain a lifestyle for themselves and any family members for a period of at least three months or until you secure employment. The minimum amount of liquid funds required for settlement is:
· Single - $20,000
· Couple - $30,000
· $5,000 for every additional dependent.
Please specify the total amount of funds you have access to for resettlement." - fr: WA CO
Question:pano ba to.. kc nag declare na ako na may 19k ako sa bank savings.. how do i confirm that I indeed have 40k for my family. Do I simply say na i have 40k funds? bka kwestyunin na kaka declare ko lang na may 19k lang ako sa bank..

So I thought it best just to declare any assets na pwede ako mag provide ng proof later on if kailangan.
Though from what I've been told by other people who have been through this, hindi naman daw hinihingan ng proof of funds. Ewan ko lang if they change their rules again in the future.
So there, I thought it best to play it safe and just list the funds that I know I can provide proof if ni require nila.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

You may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen, but you can be certain that God is not making any mistakes.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

State and territory nomination through SkillSelect
Q. If I get exactly 60 points for the Skilled Independent (subclass 189) visa, how long does it take for my Expression of Interested (EOI) to be approved (for invitation)?
A. Invitation rounds are currently held twice a month. If you have 60 points at the moment, then you stand a good chance of being invited in the next couple of rounds provided your occupation has not reached its yearly invitation ceiling.
