Yes, only this 2023. I went with my ex boss to a law office and had his declaration signed there. I paid about 200 plus.
In the statutory declaration, there is a statement about how you will prove all that has been written. " in support of the above claims, attached are the following documents"
1. Proof of payment - paysliip, IRAS
2. Proof of employment - contracts, promotions etc.
3. Job description- i searched thru old job ads by the company (careers futufe, jobs db etc)
4. Proof that they have ceased ops - any news article online or if listed company they have all the disclosures
5. Org charts
6. Some correspondences where you were on the job (few emails denonstrating your work and showing you are employed)
So far it was assessed as positive - 10years.

Hello, share ko lang yung ginawa namin.
Sa application ng spouse, pwede na niya i-elaborate dun sa space for plea na si partner niya ang main applicant at siya ay dependent. Indicate na rin sa filename ng ITA na dependent siya ni main applicant. Tapos attach na rin ang marriage certificate sa other documents.

Hello po, ishare ko po sainyo ang experience ko Vetassess, My first assessment po is last Dec 2019. On time pa po sila bago magcovid, 2 months lang nareceived ko positive outcome for 7 years work experience. Current company ko dito sa Singapore is under statutory declaration (Ayoko ko kasi malaman ng company na nagproprocess ako ng papers). Gumuwa lang ako ng letter na employed ako at pumunta ko sa notary service dito sa SG at dun ako kame nag pirmahan sa office nya, witness yung secretary nya.
Nung nagopen na ang boarder last year (2022).. expired na ang vetasses ko, nagrenew po ako then ang naka lagay sa webpage nila is 4-6 working weeks lang daw, pero umabot ako ng 20 weeks. At yes po araw araw ako nag nagemail ng follow up sa kanila (1 week straight, nagset ako sa gmail ng every day email at 7am ). Hanggang napagod na ata sila saakin, nirelease din nila positive outcome with 9 yrs experience.
Hope this help sa pag arrange nyo ng timing

Sorry di ko napansin itong reply.

Wala naman issue sa date format as long asa easily recognized kung alin ang month and day (usually happens kung numerical ang date format na nakakalito). It can help, pero that employment reference still needs to be backed up by proof of payment/taxation.
Tapos Statutory declaration ng kahit sino na higher up or ex boss mo (follow the format template from vetassess). I also made an SD kahit nag SD na yung ex boss ko. Galawang kiasu lang hehe. (sa pinas na yung SD ko para tig 100pesos lang ehehehe)

Hello everyone,
question, sino po dito ang nag process thru agent visa fee? pano nyo po binayaran ang visa nyo?
we are going to use our credit card and ang sabi ni Agent kelangan namin ibigay ang photo front and back ng credit card sa kanya? ok lang ba yun? or kung yun ba ang tamang process ng mga agent? or dapat ba kami ang mag bayad direct sa Immi bigyan nya lang kami ng link?
Joined: Nov 29, 2022
Better po kayo yung magbayad sa immi. Nag agent po kami pero kami pinagawa ng sarili naming immi account may access lang sila ng immi.

Pag ang appeal nyo po ay approved na, ang schedule po ng finger printing is 1 month ahead pa.. Puno na po slot usually ng buong month. Pero may 3x tries chance naman po kayo para ipa resched.
Ang ginawa ko po, hindi ko po niclose ung booking sa computer ko, nifresh ko po ng nirefresh ng ilang hours, hanggang sa may nag open na earlier slot.
Kaya nabook ko po ng maaga.

Ask ko lang po, may conflict po ba pag nagaapply ako tourist visa while nakapag lodge na ko for SC 190?
Back up lang po sana, sakaling mawalan na ko ng patience sa current company ko at makapag resign ng maaga. Para mag tourist na lang po sana ako while waiting for grant.
Meron na po ba dito na ganito ang ginawa? Maraming Salamat po sa magshashare ng input

sa pagkaka-alam ko, kelangan may work ka habang pinoprocess pa yung visa natin. based kasi dun sa mga hiningi sa ating docs sa immiaccount, sinisiurado ng DHA na dapat currently employed tayo. change of status na kasi yun kapag wala ka ng trabaho. so currently dapat may work ka pa until makuha mo yung grant. yan ang pagkaka-intindi ko. kaya tiis-tiis muna tayo sa mga company natin hehe.
MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR
Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)
2020
Jan 20: Since Iโm DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
Feb 22: VETASSESS โ I started gathering all required documents.
Apr 25: VETASSESS โ I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
Apr 29: VETASSESS โ I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I donโt have payment evidence of it. I didnโt include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I donโt have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
Apr 30: VETASSESS โ I double-checked my documents for the last time.
May 01: VETASSESS โ I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
May 05: VETASSESS โ My application status was lodged.
Jul 12: VETASSESS โ After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
Jul 25: IELTS โ I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
Aug 16: IELTS โ It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
Aug 21: IELTS โ My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.

English Language Ability: 10
Education: 15
State Nomination: 5
Years of Experience: 15
Total: 70 points
*Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. Iโm expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal governmentโs advice on when it will open again.
2022
Jul 5: IELTS โ Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didnโt know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.

*Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. Itโs expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.
Sep 09: EOI โ After a long wait, NSWโs Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didnโt meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).
Dec XX: EOI โ My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.
Dec19: โ I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.

Sa Point Medical po, you have to be patience sa front desk (dito po maraming stories), you may not get the customer service that you expected knowing na sa SG po at nasa high end building (Paragon) cla, thats why their bad reviews are mainly on the front desk (4 staff). Nurse and Doctor are more accommodating by the way. Importante po is ma finish nyo po ang medical which is ok naman po at mabilis. Sa Point po is general check up and HIV test. For X-rays and IGRA(if needed) separate floors po sya. Hope it helps :-)
