    @carla_glam

    congrats in advance, same tayo situation but ang target SS ko is NSW, nakalagay is band 6 lang ang required but also depends on occupation, i checked the NSW SS
    site but it is not clear whether analyst programmer is required to have band score
    of 7 for each exams.. someone know what is the required band score
    for NSW SS - occupation is analyst programmer, already post in NSW SS thread and emailed NSW inquiry but still no answer. Thanks.

    Thanks @aiwink! :)

    @olrac183, based sa website ng NSW, they only require 6points for each band, however, you have to check the minimum IELTS requirement of your skill assessing body. In your case, I think its ACS, kindly refer to this link: http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/a/analyst-programmer.htm

    Hope this helps :)

    you can have it notarized in malaysia if you want... maybe pinas, it doesn't matter as long as you have complied with the requirements of DIAC.

    S$15/page for CTC? That is too expensive...

    @Valerie_meh baka iba po ung notarized at CTC.
    Ask nyo po magkano magpa certify true copy, kasi nung nag inquire ako dati iba daw po yun kaya mas mahal ang notarize.

    @alexamae iba talaga sya. CTC lang ang hinihingi. notarize kse finafile pa talaga yun ng atty at may number. etc. yung CTC certification lang na copies sya from the orig documents. kaya mas mahal ang notaryo. usually legal documents ang notary. check mo above yung naresearch kong mga prices. :) pag umuwi ka pinas I suggest dun mo na ipaCTC lahat.

    sa SATA din kami nagmedical, 45SGD per head po yan at usually weekdays lang talaga ang binbigay nilang sked.. naghalf-day leave kami dahil lang d2.. it took us 2.5 hrs kasi mahaba din yung pila. btw, sa may woodlands SATA pala kami.

    i suggest book an appointment asap kasi baka maubusan ka ng slot na medyo pasok sayo. hope this helps

    2) Pano po magprocess ng NBI clearance from SG (7 yrs na po kmi sa SG)?

    3) Enough na po ba isubmit tax info from IRAS (fr 2007 til 2011) or need po kumuha copy
    ng ITR (para sa 2006 and below na work) as proof of employment
    (may mga COE naman po from prev employers ok na po ba iyon?)

    4) Need din po ba isubmit copy ng High School Diploma?

    Thank you po in advance.

    My thoughts:

    1) They should have an SG Birth Certificate right? If there is, why do you need an NSO copy?

    2) NBI Clearance, get your application and have your thumbmarks taken sa Phil Embassy. Once you have this document pwede mo (a) ipapadala ito sa kamag-anak mo sa Pinas or (b) ipadala mo diretso na sa NBI Office in Taft c/o Julie Macalit. There is a separate thread for this somewhere, hanapin mo nalang for further details. Google also, the process is in the website of the NBI including the address of Julie Macalit if you opt to process it this way.

    3) We did not submit na IRAS tax documents for our visa application. However it may be needed as certain documents are required by the case officers on case to case basis.

    4) High School Diploma, it was not needed in our case...

    Goodluck!!

    Need you urgent advise po. Here's our scenario:

    Just received the positive result of the skill assessment, we didn't expect na mare-receive nmin ung result this month kya di kame agad naka register sa ROM (registry of marriage), balak sana namen magpakasal ng 1st week of january. We're planning to apply na sana ung EOI & SS, worried kc kame sa occupation ceiling sa WA SS. We're thinking of the more practical way in dealing with our application. Shall I just put de-facto instead (since we are in genuine relationship for almost 10 years & we are living on the same hdb since we arrived here in SG), the only downside is we have to prepare for a lot of docs as a proof of our de facto relationship or shall we wait until January before we apply for EOI & SS? Nanghihinayang lang kc kame sa time na masasayang pag hinintay pa namen ung January.

    Anyone in the same boat? Your advise/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    If you have the documents on hand go for the de-facto na... Otherwise you may have to wait (which I don't recommend since waste of time lang yun eh, sayang 1 month din yan ha...)
