OKTOBERfest!! Oct'2014 Applicants (visa 189/190)

j0hn

@j0hn Hi bro, please see below:

1.) What is frontloading?
term used which means uploading docs ahead of time, even without request from CO/DIBP

2.) When is Form 80 required?
Nirerequire ito kadalasan ng CO if he needs further info about the applicant, like travels, residences, previous work (not only from the past 10yrs). Hindi lahat hinihingan nito and pwede ka ma-visa grant kahit hindi mo sya frontload. Pero most applicant frontloads Form 80 para wala ng request request from CO and higher chance na ma-Direct Grant na

3.) How will you know if you have been allocated with a CO?
According forumers here na na-grant na, you will be notified through ImmiAccount Correspondence or directly mag-mmessage sayo si CO sa registered email mo

4.) In my immi account. There are a couple of items that are under "recommended" on the documents upload such as evidence of Australian qualification, evidence of australian work experience, character evidence, and health evidence. I know the last two is required, however, I dont know why the 1st two are recommended since I didn't claim points for these items. I know that not all the "recommended" docs are not required, as stated in their website. I am just curious if anybody had the same experience/ or if this is normal?
Mukhang Default sya, every applicant i know, meron talaga nung Australian Qualification/Work Exp Evidence sa ImmiAccount, pero tama ka, as mentioned sa website, not everything is required

5.) Lastly, for the police clearance. When will I receive a letter from DIAP that requires me to obtain a police clearance? Cause I stayed in SG for a several months. and I believe hindi basta makaka request ng Police clearance sa kanila, without any letter of some sort.
Wala akong experience about SG PCC, but I know you can print your Invitation, the Receipt when you paid the Visa, and all the Documents na pinadala ng DIBP after you've successfully lodged the application and show as proof na need mo mag-apply ng PCC. Tanong ka na lang din sa ibang forumers

Ano pala Nominated Occupation mo bro and kelan ka nag-lodge ng visa application?

Hi wizardofoz thank you sa detailed reply mo, I appreciate it. It clarified most of the things that I'm unsure of. Nag lodge ako last oct 31. Mukang ikaw ata first na nag lodge dito. Civil Engineer ang NC ko.

wizardofOz

@j0hn ah oks, nakahabol ka pala sa Oktoberfest bro hehe

alam ko si @louieboni ang nauna nag-lodge sa batch natin then si @theumlasfamily..

hopefully this november meron nang mga good news and sana before the year ends visa grant na lahat sa batch natin!

wizardofOz

@wizardofOz 5 of 8 years i think is more than enough, ako nga 10 years for 1 company
3 years lang yung na pass ko...

sige lapit na yan cant imagine yung magiging reaction nyo after you receive the grant hehe

spoiler alert about the grant...

I received 7 emails

4 emails grants to each of us (me, wife and two kids)
1 email notification that my skillselect has been removed
1 email notification "The status of this transaction has been updated"
1 email notification "Correspondence relating to your ImmiAccount transaction has been sent"

then when you login, status will change to granted then each person will have a visa grant letter link

ah sige, frontload ko na rin yung mga ITRs ko, kahit hindi kumpleto, anyway may payslips namang pang-suporta

for sure bro maglululundag ako kapag na-receive ko yung grant!

sarap siguro nung feeling na totally unexpected tapos biglang marereceive mo yung email na yan.. tapos direct grant pa hahahaha!!

lurker2014

@gerardds naka receive ako ng mail today na edi suspended? Ano unit sabihin neto? May mali ako nagawa? Nakuu

lurker2014

@gerardds eoi suspended.. May mali ako nagawa??

wizardofOz

@lurker2014 check mo yung Skillselect correspondence mo.

Nakareceive din ako dati ng Suspended EOI kasi nag-lodge na daw ako ng visa..

I think nornal lang yan.. nothing to worry about

gerardds

@lurker2014 i dont think you need to worry as long as you can still be able to login to evisa... I believe may notes naman ng reasons of suspension such as "you already lodge a visa application" right?

lurker2014

@wizardofOz @gerardds ah okay kinabahan ako dun ah, uu na check ko reason, dahil nga sa nag lodge. Salamats! Whew~

artagnan

Guys, oks lang ba maguload ng documents kahit wala pang CO and kahit kulang pa ng ibang docs? Wala pa kasi ako medical saka SG PCC.

wizardofOz

@artagnan pwede na bro.. "frontload" term nila sa pagupload ng docs kahit wala pang request from CO...

Oks lang din kahit may kulang ka pa since irerequest din nmn yun kapag may CO kana later on..

Ano nga uli Nom Occ mo bro and kelan ka naglodge?

lurker2014

@artagnan hello, opo pwede na tayo mag start na mag upload ng mga docs na available and at the same time process na din yung mga hindi pa ready while waiting for Co. All the best

wizardofOz

@lurker2014 na-upload na medicals mo brader?

lurker2014

@wizardofOz uu medicals na forward na din. Lahat ata na upload ko na as of last week

wizardofOz

@lurker2014 ayus! magparamdam na sana si CO... mag-1 month na rin pala next week since we lodged the visa hehe

gerardds

tama upload na lahat para mabilis ang grant, kc kung kumpleto naman docs
bakit pa papatagalin ng CO...

dami ko din mali dati sa pagupload such as
file naming conventions like may space, dash
uploaded files in different categories,
duplicate uploads of same documents
wrong starting date of employment, difference of 5 days

i think reasonable at di naman strict yung mga CO
pero mas maganda kung di nyo na pahirapan hehe

wizardofOz

@gerardds tama mukhang reasonable naman yung mga CO and ang titingnan nmn nila is yung authenticity nung mga documents presented..

@lurker2014 nung unang basa ko sa post mo na-excite ako, akala ko na-Direct Grant ka na hahahaha

artagnan

meron naming convention yung documents? meron akong dash, spaces and parenthesis pero tinanggap naman ng system..

Wow meron pala nito... hindi ko alam ito!

Buti out of nakasanayan lang, puro underscore and dash ginamit ko sa filenaming..

Pero lahat ng files ko naka-PDF.. pati yung Passport Photograph ko na originally JPG ginawa ko pang PDF nyaha

Lupet mo bro, dami mo alam kaya pala Direct Grant hehehehe

gerardds

@wizardofOz im not aware at first din... half of my docs are with spaces

as for photograph, di na kami nagsend kasi i think para sa medical yun which the clinic took photos of us naman

artagnan

naku may dash and spaces ako, sana tanggapin naman since accept naman ng system and very clear naman yung name ng mga files..

May naga grant ba ng december? tagal pa kasi ng medical ko eh sa 22 Nov pa..

gerardds

@artagnan wala naman ... direct grant kc ako... kaya i dont think you should be worried

artagnan

hehe nasip ko nga yan after ko mag post na direct grant which means wala kang interaction sa CO.. tnx bro
