Hi, kami sa SATA AMK nagpa-medical. wala naman kaming naging issue. Ang sked namin was 9:30 am but we arrived earlier at around 8:45 am. In-accommodate naman kami agad. Weekdays din kami nagpunta kasi pag-weekend may surcharge na 35sgd per person. Mga 1 hr lang tapos na kami family of 3. 2 days later, naka-reflect na siya as cleared sa immiaccount. pinili namin is AMK because we thought na mas konti ang tao since karamihan ng nakikita namin dito is sa Point Med or SATA Bedok pumupunta. true enough, parang kami lang ata ang nagpaap-mdeical that time for AU. Although baka rin dahil Monday. I hope this helps with your decision.
MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
May 01: VETASSESS – 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 – My application status was lodged.
Jul 12: VETASSESS – 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.

Meron pala akong tanong..... 🙈
Kung ang na fill up lang sa lahat ng docs ay First Name at Last Name, walang nilagay na Middle Name, paano kaya?
Yung tourist visa na approved wala din middle name, yung 190 visa lodged wala din middle name.

I dont think na error sya, wala sa tab na ilalagay ang middle name. May nagsuggest na ilagay after sa name. But it would be part of your name i think.

I found this online regarding middle names - https://business.vic.gov.au/grants-and-programs/small-business-covid-hardship-fund/proof-of-identity-verification-user-guide
It says dapat yung middle name kasama ng given name. The question now is whether to act or not hehehe.
Shall we click and update our details/ notify immi with these given incorrect info?

you guys should input your middle name to avoid any problem in the future. like for eg.
Given Name: Juan (First Name) Ponzo (Middle Name)
Family name: Dela Cruz.
*Exactly as printed on your passport. you may have your visa grant but maybe questioning you if you travel in aus with not matching exactly your name.

Hello everyone, recently received an S56 request for a SG police clearance. I worked there >10 yrs ago and kala ko di na irerequire ni DHA so di ko na inabala asikasuhin. anyway...
Pano magrerequest nito if wala na akong kopya nung FIN no./EPASS no. ko? Ang tagal na nun di ko na maalala, and apparently wala ako ni-isang kopya nun sa mga documents ko. Need help. Thank you!

hello, if meron ka pang contact sa previous empolyers mo, baka pwede ka humingi sa kanila ng COE at ipalagay mo sa kanila yung FIN number mo dati. baka sakali lang na may records ka pa sa kanila. i-explain mo na kelangan mo lang for AU migration. ang prob lang is sa SG police clearance, magrerequest sila ng copy ng front and back photo ng pass mo dati at i-uupload yun sa portal nila. so i-ask mo narin yung previous employers mo if meron silang copy nun. usually kasi tinatabi rin nila yun. i hope this helps

hello @stihlce12 and @nutzagi26 , salamat sa mga response niyo.
nakuha ko na yung FIN mula sa MoM, kaso di provided yung ID mismo. Based dun sa generic reply ng SPF, pwede naman kahit anong identification ng stay sa SG, so ang inupload ko is yung passport ko na linked dun sa EPASS and yung page marking yung entry ko to SG.
Ngayon naman ang issue ay hindi nagpo-proceed yung appeal once na-upload na yung docs. Lumalabas yung error page na 'The government-related website is temporarily unavailable'. Ganito ba talaga, tsatsambahan ko lang ang pagsubmit sa kanila? Tinry ko na kasi the whole day ganito lagi.
Salamat ulit!
