Hi @GoToWaOZ , napaisip lang ako, may advantage po ba kung mg submit na ng EOI kahit pending pa result ng skills assessment? I tried a bogus EOI account, pwede nman, but assumed lang ang skills assessment date and result. Hihintayin pa rin nila ang Vetassess advice tama po? Kse if it will expedite the process e mag ssubmit na po ako (atat mode) )

If you put a bogus date sa VETASSESS result, ang ibig sabihin nito you were not truthful in your EOI data... Remember, this can be a ground for disqualification.

@psychoboy , so kelangan tlga hintayin ko muna ang Vetasse result db? anyways asikasuhin ko meantime ang clearances from Qatar and UAE..mukhang madugo ang proseso #:-S

Hi @rei_ya I agree po with @pschoboy. I strongly discourage you to put anything bogus in any of your applications.

In my case, I submitted an EOI before my vetassess results came out but I indicated "NO" to the question, "Does the client have a suitable skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority?".

My objective in submitting an EOI earlier than my Vetassess result is to see what I need to prepare for...besides, di ko pa na discover ang mahusay na pagtutulungan at suporta ng mga taga pinoyau nung mga panahon na yun kaya feeling ko eh nalilito ako ng time na yun.

Info lang po, sa SG based na nag work dati sa Qatar at Dubai, here are the steps pra makakuha QA and UAE clearance (wla ito sa website anywhere, so i called them )

UAE
1. Fingerprints sa CID Singapore (SGD 15) (info on their website)
2. Bring fingerprints doc to Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Singapore for legalisation (SGD 10) (info on their website)
3. Bring legalised fingerprints to UAE embassy-Singapore for authentication (SGD 70)
4. Collect the authenticated fingerprints a day later. They will give further instruction daw on how and where to send all docs. (authenticated fingerprints is only one of them, at un lang yta papel ng UAE embassy-SG, then ikaw na bahala sa next steps)
5. Send authenticated fingerprints to UAE plus additional docs required by courier or posts (I need more info here). Processing time unknown

Qatar
1. Fingerprints sa CID Singapore (SGD 15) (info on their website)
2. Bring fingerprints doc to Ministry of Foreign Affairs-Singapore for legalisation (SGD 10) (info on their website)
3. Bring legalised fingerprints to Qatar embassy-SG ,plus orig and copy of passport with qatar visa stamp, orig and copy of recent passport, letter addressed to qatar embassy-SG (stating reason for request, period stayed in qatar, contact details). 4nos photos red or blue background size 4x6, pay fee SGD24.
4. Qatar Embassy-SG to do necessary logistics, wait 2+ months for release.

Wla pa ko experience jan, based yan sa sinabi ng embassies when i called them. Will update once I complete the process.

Parang ni-ready lang para pag may skills assess. result na, go na! at kaya nman pla same day nung Jan 31 ay go agad sa EOI! Might do the same, bka sa sobrang excitement pgka receive ng vetases ay mamali sa pag fill up..hehe..good luck, malapit ka na! ako praying for super fast vetasses result!

I was able to complete and submit the EOI (despite answering "no" to the skills assessment question) pero dahil wala pa ang vetassess result ko...sa RSMS (visa 187) at ENS (visa 186) lang lumabas na pwede ang EOI ko...parang naka park lang yung EOI ko..baka sakali na may maging interested na employer, hehe... Until such time na may result na ang vetassess ko at SS WA, then pwede na ako mag apply ng visa 190..yun yung update ko sa EOI ko ng January 2013

All the best sa application mo! You are like me, medyo paranoid sa processing, haha!

stabilo

hotshot

@stabilo : dati nagemail ako sa kanila kaso walang available na flight sa date na gusto ko kaya di na ko nagbook sa iom. nag-scoot na lang kami. hehe

@GoToWaOZ , i tried what u did, okey nga din noh.. Just in case may interested na employer. anyway 2 yrs nman valid ang EOI account. Pero sa SS WA kelnagn tlga may vetases na db, so u waited muna? Curious lang din, di ka pa nag lodge ng visa (per timeline mo)?

anyway ill submit EOI today, "park" lang din muna..para ready na pglabas ng vetases result..

GoToWaOZ

@rei_ya - For SS WA, required ang result ng Vetassess Next week ako mag-lodge, just waiting for a document from Pinas.

Ok yan nakaumpisa ka na, tumatakbo na ang araw sa processing ng vetassess mo, that's good!

vhoythoy

Ilang months exporation ng invite? Magbabayad ka nman ng 3060 for 189 after mo accept invite at maglodge tama ba? Thanks

hotshot

@vhoythoy : eto sabi sa skillselect website...

Applying for this visa

If you are invited to apply for this visa, you will then have 60 days in which to lodge your online application. Your invitation letter will explain the lodgment process you should follow. You can be in or outside Australia when you lodge your application.

Invitations are based on claims made in your Expression of Interest at the time you are invited to apply. Your application must reflect the information provided in your Expression of Interest, and be supported by relevant evidence.

If after receiving two invitations to apply for a visa you do not make a visa application your Expression of Interest will be removed from SkillSelect.


ang bayad nangyayari sa pag-lodge ng application.

vhoythoy

Ok so sa EOI wla pa talaga bayad kasi not sure pa kung mainvite ka or when ka mainvite. May time pa magipon hehe salamat

batobats

sa mga nagtanong po pano magpadala from SG ito ginawa ko
1. Open AU bank account
2. Verify Internet Banking account
3. Remit money thru Pay2home mas mataas rates compared sa SG banks

carrie

@carrie, pwede. inexplore ko din yan before at nakita ko sa Skillselect online procedure na pede mo i-tick pareho. try mo gumawa ng account sa Skillselect then explore.

salaamt tutik. explore ko pang options ko. mas mabilis kaya kung 189 kesa sa 190? any inputs ka-sg?

meehmooh

Anyone has used DBS debit card to pay the A$3060 visa?...

@carrie, nakita ko sa google spreadsheet thread na ung mga subclass 190 successful applicants inabot lang ng within 6months. ung iba nga 3-4months lang.

i realized na di pala ako pwede sa 189 kasi wala sa SOL nominated occupation ko kaya 190 lang talaga. pray lang na hwag mawala ung occupation sa list
