I have a couple of questions about this. I hope you guys can enlighten me.
Ito kasi yung additional info na hinihingi QLD (in bold letters):
* Your contact details (e.g email address, residential/post address)
- I am currently residing/working in South Korea, should I give this as my address or my home address in the Philippines?
* Evidence of occupation registration as per the requirement for your occupation as detailed on the Queensland Eligible Skills List
- Can I use the EA skills assessment for this? Or just a copy of COE that I used for EA skills assessment?
* Evidence of sufficient funds for settlement
- What kind of evidence? Scanned copy of bank passbook? Stock certificates?
-How much is the ideal amount for this?.
* Evidence of your commitment to work and live in Qld
- How am I able to show this?
* Regional area and postcode
- What is this?
In addition to this, visa 489 kasi siya so hindi siya PR. If kukunin ko itong visa 489 what are the steps para maiconvert ko ito as PR visa? And kasama ko wife ko sa application, same visa din ba ang ibibigay sa kanya? Or baka mangyari ako lang pwede mag work and siya as dependent lang without working visa?
Should I skip this, and wait for skillselect visa 189/190 invitation? (I have 65 Points for visa 189 - Mech Engr. ANZSCO 233512)
May dilemma din ako isasabay ko na dito sa post ko hehe..
1. Since nasa South Korea ako ngayon, paano yung medical exam may accredited ba dito or kailangan sa pinas ako kumuha? (May two week vacation ako sa pinas sa mid november, pwede na ba ko kumuha ng medical ko kahit wala pang invitation? para naka ready na siya hehe)
2. Nag work ako sa Saudi (Jubail) for a year, I heard na hindi daw nagbibigay ang Saudi ng police clearance, is this true? Paano ang magandang alternative dito kung meron or paano na? hehe
Thanks in advance sa tips and advice!

- to simply answer your question, they don't recognize authentication by prc/ched/dfa..
- photocopy the ORIGINAL and have it notarized by lawyers/notary public
- DO NO photocopy the authenticated docs.. trust me binalik nila sa akin yan..

* Your contact details (e.g email address, residential/post address)
- I am currently residing/working in South Korea, should I give this as my address or my home address in the Philippines?
ANSWER: - kung hindi ka pa nmn aalis sa SK, give that address kasi baka may mga ipapadala sila docs para makuha mo agad..
* Evidence of occupation registration as per the requirement for your occupation as detailed on the Queensland Eligible Skills List
- Can I use the EA skills assessment for this? Or just a copy of COE that I used for EA skills assessment?
ANSWER: - if you read the requirements in their website it says, registration to Board of Professional Engineers in Queensland.. which on my opinion is weird, dahil kaya ka nga pupunta dun para magwork at sakali maka register sa organization na yan... but anyway try mo din..
* Evidence of sufficient funds for settlement
- What kind of evidence? Scanned copy of bank passbook? Stock certificates?
-How much is the ideal amount for this?.
ANSWER: - may specific amount po yan depende sa state at kung ilan kayo sa family.. (example mga parang 25kAUD for single, tpos additional 5kAUDper dependent)
* Evidence of your commitment to work and live in Qld
- How am I able to show this?
ANSWER: - you need to do your own research, parang mga tipong essay about why do you want to live there, at may mga work ba available, copy ka ng mga job ads from seek..
* Regional area and postcode
- What is this?
ANSWER: - san regional area mo gustong tumira.. check kung alin ang pwede for visa 489, may mga designated regional area/postcode lang na pwede...

- research ka din kung maraming work for you sa state na yan
- check mo ang mga current invitees for 189... alam ko nsa 65/70pts na.. so malapit kana..
Medical
- may mga accredited clinic per country.. nasa DIAC website ang list.. you dont need to go to phils..
- may expiration ang medical, at dyan din naka depend ang initial entry date mo,
- Initial entry date = medical date + 1 year..
- so kung mag medical kana agad, mapapabilis ang initial entry date mo
SAUDI PCC
- pwede pa rin daw po yata, you can request thru SAUDI embassy in your location
- kung hindi pwede may ibang paraan, nabasa ko ung iba nag punta sa AU embassy tapos may pinirmahang document...

Wow big thanks sa mga advice sir. Ang galing at nasagot nyo yung mga tanong ko.
Yup you are right, tomorrow is another round of invites na from skillselect so antayin ko muna yon. Sana makakuha na ng invite. If not then try ko na magproceed sa state sponsorship nomination. Looks like 489 eh hindi ganon ka-attractive dahil selected regions lang siya.
Again thanks ulit sa tip at advice nyo sir! Luminaw ang mga bagay bagay hehe.

@Rubled22 Thanks!. Yup tama Oct. 2 ako nag submit ng EOI (hehe till now di ako makapaniwala na dumating na ang skillselect invite). Yes siguro by category ng occupation ang ranking nila. Ang nominated occupation ko ay Mechanical Engineer ANZSCO 233512.
@lock_code2004 Oo nga eh, thanks din sa advice at tip mo. Nagworry na ko sa requirement ng state sponsorship at buti nalang din at dumating ang swerte at guidance ni Lord.

@psychoboy Yes, that is my experience with my agent. Lahat ng communication starting from EA goes to him and he only forwards the messages to me. Well, yun ang reason dun sa timeline ko kaya medyo na late ang submission ko ng EOI, dahil na inform lang ako ng agent ko na positive ang assessment nung Sept. 25 na eh sept. 7 pa lang ok na ang assessment (based dun sa letter ng EA). But thank God at kahit medyo nalate ang pagsubmit eh naka-kuha pa din ng invite. Sa case naman ng pag submit ng EOI, pwede ko siya icheck dahil may username and password ako, kaso kaninang umaga eh sabi ko si agent nalang magsabi kung may natanggap na siyang email galing skillselect at baka kasi ma-jinx ko mahirap na hehe.

In this round, the lowest score for people receiving the invites was 60 - this means that there is no more backlog for people with 65 points. If you have 65 points and above, as long as you have submitted a few hours before the Oct 15 cut-off, sure ka na makakakuha ng invites.
Having said this, in the coming months the cut-off should stabilize at 60pts assuming that the quality of the EOI continue its trend the past few weeks!
This is good news for all those with 60pts -
