    Usually essay sya. discuss mo doon about intention mo sa pag pili sa state nila. discuss mo yung way of living, how it is suitable for you or your family, bakit hindi ka sa ibang state, discuss mo din future plans mo sa pag stay sa state. yung akin sa northern territory naman, but I guess same lang lahat ng purpose at content ng commitment letter.

    Hi. Has anyone tried redownloading the Visa Application Form from the SA account page. Naging blank yung Education and Employment History sections. Makakaapekto ba yun sa application ng invites?

    Hi @beetle00, you can create another EOI and select SA as your preferred state and just retain your NSW EOI as it is.

    @beetle00 I'm a 489 visa applicant too. when I applied for state sponsored visa where I need to submit commitment letter, I made sure I don't have any other state application to align my intention and commitment to live in that particular state. How can you make your commitment letter credible and genuine if you have application to other state. Just my personal view.

    @beetle00 I agree with @batman . Im also a 489 visa holder. States that ask for commitment letter are really strict on the applicant’s intent to stay on the sponsoring state. Especially now that the govt is eyeing on making regional sponsored migrants to stay in the regions, if they have means of checking applicants with multiple eoi for state sponsorship, then the commitment there is questionable. That’s just my opinion.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    Hi, sa mga nakapag fill out ng migration application form sa SA website.
    Di pa ako nagsubmit pero kapag dinowload ko yung PDF ng application form under "Actions" tab, di nag-appear yung Education at Employment History. Ask ko lang sana if you all have the same experience or baka may mali lang akong ginagawa. Thanks!

    Nangyari din sakin to, ang kasama lng sa pdf downloaded copy ay yung pinaka last na ininput kong company. Kinabahan ako kasi alam kong kini-click ko naman yung "Add" button. And nakapag bayad na ko. Hahaha. Then mas lalo pa kong kinabahan kasi nag try ako gumawa ng bagong draft application tapos dinownload ko ung pdf, nag reflect lahat ng companies na ni-type ko! Nagpanic na ko lalo. Inisip ko baka nagkamali talaga ako sa pag submit nung unang application haha.

    So i also emailed them, and sinabi ko ung mga companies na ininput ko plus attached the pdf downloaded copy.. Then nag reply sila, sabi sa system nila nakikita naman nila yung lahat ng companies na sinabi ko, so ayun.. Baka glitch lang ng UI nila :)

    @Godsgrace 489 visa holders have the same work rights with PR holders. Based on job ads Ive checked, mostly specified are applicants should have valid work rights, pasok naman eto for 489 visa holders. For govt positions though, they usually prefer Au citizens.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    Nagtry ako to fill-up the application form and I noticed walang document for proof of partner, in my case de facto proof. Ibig sabihin po ba hindi po kailangan mag provide ng proof for partner points besides dun sa hinihinging skills assessment and english results?

    Also, I'm a Production or Plan Engineer, ano tamang sagot sa tanong na ito:
