    @psychoboy waiting is fun especially if it's just formality hehehe congrats uli :D
    di rin pre... as much as I want to think formality na lang pero not unless you have the grant letter, yun lang talaga ang nagsasabi na ito na!! :)
    NBI clearance na lang talaga po ba ang kulang? :)

    NBI and SG Police Clearance... both waiting nalang for receipt/release :)
    yes! malapit na malapit na talaga! hirap mag-concentrate nyan sa work. hahaha

    mas matindi pa yung nangyari sa amin dati....more than 1 month nagaantay para sa clearance ng wife ko (as in yun lang talaga inaantay kasi ok na ang lahat). niloloko ko na nga sya lagi dati...sabi ko i-drop ko na lang sya as secondary applicant para ma-visa grant na ako. hahaha

    Finally, a forum for Skill Select!

    Guys, I recently been invited to apply for 189 Visa. Although I took my IELTS 2 years ago (Nov 2010), I read in the Skill Select website that they increased the validity of IELTS results to 3 years.

    Yung same result din ang ginamit ko when I submitted my EOI. Pero yung sa mismong IELTS Test Reform ko nakalagay 2 years lang valid....mag ka problem kaya ako when I will use this to submit for the visa application?

    Help naman po...

    Hi guys! I'm new here. Got my invitation for 189 visa last Nov 1 (lucky nov1!) with 60pts... I'm currently filling-up the visa application form online, ndi ko pa natatapos ang pag fill-up madalas kasi nag eerror & may maintenance sched naman today from 8pm to 4am... question po, sa last part ba ng application naka-indicate na need na din mag submit ng medical & character clearance (NBI /police clearance)? or antayin dapat wait na i-request ng CO?

    Currently 189 visa applicants are assigned to a case officer within a month after they lodged their application. Once meron ka na CO, maghihingi na yan sa inyo ng medical & character clearance.

    Since mabilis naman ang processing lately, I would say it would be safe to work on your police clearance as soon as possible and your medicals as soon as your application gets acknowledged.

    Cheers!

    @katlin924 actually ndi ko din expected na maka-receive ng invitation under 60pts since the initial notion is to have a higher score to have a better chance.

    Dahil sa IELTS kaya nagka-delay delay ang application ko... I'm trying to claim the additional 10pts sana para maka-70pts ...kaya lang 3x nako nagtake ng IELTS until now hindi pa din ako maka at least 7 in all bands, in every attempt laging may isang nagiging 6.5 randomly... 1st attempt 6.5 speaking, 2nd attempt 6.5 writing and my last exam reading naman ang naging 6.5 ...supposedly I'm about to schedule my 4th attempt ng bigla ako naka-receive ng invitation from SkillSelect last November1... thanks to God! Naawa na siguro sakin si Lord kasi naka-ilang exam nako sa IELTS, bukod sa malaki na nagagastos ko sobrang frustrating pa.

    Btw, last July pa ko nag-apply ng EOI kahit I only have 60pts... panigurado lang just like what others have suggested sa mga forums... and now naubos na ang mga 65pts, our turn naman finally! and in fairness mabilis din talaga process nila since November palang ngayon.

    Ayun lang po... I just like to share may experience and struggles sa IELTS haha... finally nakapag-lodge din! :)

    If and and when there are anyone with 60 points getting an invite - it means wala na pending EOI that is 65 points and above...

    Apart from this, you have no way of knowing.

    Yes I agree with @psychoboy... assumption ko lang yung naubos na ang points higher than 60 @katlin924 like may mga nabasa ako before na may mga 65pts nktanggap na ng invitation last sept or oct ata.

    Kaya for the others kahit 60pts palang mas ok magsubmit na ng EOI talaga while trying other options to gain more points like IELTS & SS.

    As of Nov 1 - you are correct in saying that there are no pending applicants with 65 points and above...

    If you currently have 60 pts, it is best to lodge now so that you will be in the waiting list for those with 60 pts. Remember that if you have the same points (in this case, 60 pts), those that lodged earlier will be the one who will get the invite.

    If and when you will a better IELTS score - you can eventually edit your EOI.

    Hi guys!
    I already had an invitation from DIAC for visa application thru the SkilSelect. I did seek the help of a migration agent because I am working here in Libya. I also got a successful state sponsorship from WA. Upon approval of the state sponsorship, the DIAC immediately invited me. I am in the process now of obtaining a medical examination and police clearances here in Libya.

    My migration agent took care of all the important things needed, like certifying all my documents, accomplishing application forms, and most importantly in submitting an EOI.
    VETASSESS assessed my skills and I got a 7.5 in the IELTS exam (academic module).

    It took me less than a year to accomplished everything.

    I hope that everyone of us will have a succesful outcome!!!

    @jenipet20

    - you just have to wait, or mag log in ka dun sa site nila. but if they said na pending, maghihintay lang talaga, pero sinususnod naman nila ang binigay nilang time frame, within that period maglalabas at maglalabas sila ng result. I hope this will help.
