if you have other work experience (other than those in your CDR), then you need to check if these are related to your nominated occupation (your JD versus ANZSCO definition)... it is a risk you need to take if you did not apply for addl assessment service..

It turns out yung IELTS TRF ko hindi nakarating sa kanila.
May nakakaalam po ba dito kung Gating Item ang IELTS TRF para simulan ng EA yung assessment ng CDR?
Iniisip ko kasi kung yung IELTS TRF na lang ang kulang ko or kung ni hindi pa nila sinisimulan yung review ng CDR ko.
Salamat po!

Hi Qadeer
As you'd be aware, EA requires all applicants who are required to sit an IELTS test to achieve a minimum score of 6.0 in each band.
Because of that EA needs to review an applicant's IELTS results before they start processing the application, in case the applicant doesn't achieve the required IELTS score.
Also, because of the large number of applications EA staff have to process, they are usually not able to start assessing applications as soon as they're received.
I've always found their quoted timeframes are a realistic guide to the processing time - even where applicants have submitted their IELTS results before their skills assessment applications are lodged.
Good luck with your application.
Best regards
Susan

Hi there, nope they won't reject. Rather they will file your application and then process it only after they receive the IELTS results.

you can make a reference letter from your supervisor.. have him to sign and attached his business card.. I did the same because my current company was not able to give me a COE according to EA's format.
you can also back read some threads in here.. to find what others have done regarding this issue..

1. As suggested by @madskie, get an employer reference from your supervisor and attach a copy of his name card
2. get a statutory declaration from your supervisor or
3.Hanap ka ng katrabaho mo dati na wala na sa company na pwedeng magbigay sayo ng employer reference at iprint sa company letterhead ng current company nia. Just indicate in the letter na wala na sia sa company na pinagtratrabahuan mo.

As of now, I have 60pts, zero points kasi ako sa IELTS S-6.5, L/R-7.5, W-7. Realistic pa ba na mkahabol ako sa 60pts knowing sa turn-around time na 13weeks sa EA? When kailanganin ang 60points sa EOI or sa Visa application?
By Feb2015 maging 15pts nlng ang age ko kasi mag 33y.o. and maging 55pts nlang ako which leaves two options for me. First, Retake IELTS para mka kuha ng additional 10pts and get 65pts. Second, go for state nomination para mka kuha ng additional 5 points. Any inputs is very much appreciated. Thank you.
