    Ah pakita mo lang ung receipt na naiapply mo na ang FBI ng wife mo para makaabot ka sa 28th day ng deadline. Gnun ang ginawa nmin eh sinend lang ng agent nmin ung email ng phil embassy sa riyadh na nareceive na nila application ni hubby.

    Pero try mo rin ask ang stat declaration mas mabilis kc un less stress sa paghhintay :)

    siguro naman kung "Met" yung status ng Evidence of work experience, ay talagang met na, kung ilang years yung nilagay kung total experience? saktong 65 points lang kasi ako at saktong 5 years experience lang ni-claim ko, I mean siguro naman kung hindi ako umabot sa 65 points eh sinabihan na ako ng CO at hindi na ako hihingan pa ng meds at PCC.

    Sorry ang weird ng tanong ko, nakakaloka at nakakapraning ang mga araw na ito haha!

    sana nga sir pede...

    sa mga pips po na may multiple PCCs (from different countries),
    tanung ko lng po kung ung shortest validity date among your PCCs and Medical ang pinagbasihan?
    or ung PCC lng ng pinas (NBI) and your medicals lang pinagbasihan and ndi na pinansin ung validity ng PCC ng ibang bansa? meron po ba sa inyu na ganun ung case?

    Sorry long post po ito. Share ko lang timeline ko at mga natutunan ko

    2011.06.15 - Submitted for ACS assessment
    2011.08.08 - ACS requesting for additional details re: RPL
    2011.10.05 - ACS skills assessment successful
    2011.11.18 - IELTS results 1st attempt (L:8; R:8.5; W:7; S:6.5; OBS:7.5) sayang 0.5 na lang!
    2011.12.15 - IELTS results 2nd attempt (L:9; R:9; W:7; S:7; OBS:8.0) thank you Lord!
    2011.12.28 - Lodged VISA175
    2012.04.03 - Applied for NBI clearance
    2012.04.16 - NBI clearance release
    **Applied Overseas clearance in advance with projected CO allocation by May 1st-2nd week
    2012.04.22 - Applied for points test with Vetassess -> walang kwenta!!
    2012.05.12 - CO allocated
    2012.05.19 - Medical Exams SATA Woodlands
    2012.05.25 - Medical Received
    2012.05.28 - Medical Finalised wife
    2012.06.01 - Medical finalised (me)
    2012.06.01 - Visa Granted! Finish line! woohooo!!!

    Learning points along the way
    1. Request ng COE's and other docs sa former company,
    request na rin ng additional docs payslips, SSS, ITR, etc
    -> ang ginawa ko COE muna for Skills assessment tapos
    saka pa lang yung additional docs. pabalik-balik sayang sa oras,
    pagod, at load kakatawag

    2. Overseas PCC's
    -> since nabasa ko na sa forum na matagal nga NBI clearance
    sinabay ko na nung umuwi ako, tapos pina-claim na lang sa kamag-anak
    Swak yung estimated the time kung kelan possible na macontact ng CO,
    na-estimate ko po kung kelan ako magka-CO dahil sa forum na ito

    3. Qualifications:
    -> ilang araw ako na-praning dito, kasi walang AQF sa assessment letter ko
    so to be sure kumuha ko ng point advice test with Vetassess for my qualification
    Eventually sayang kasi hinde pala kelangan! Toinks! Sayang A$230+ ko :(
    Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin results si Vetassess, sayang talaga, tsk tsk
    Kung may Bachelor Degree & TOR po kayo, ok na daw po yun.

    4. Medicals
    -> hinde totoo yung 2-3 days! hahaha nakakapraning ito!
    sa wife ko finalised na agad 1 working day after mareceive
    pero ako 5 days after pa, napapaisip ako kung may sakit ba ko or kung ano man

    5. Pray and have patience :)

    anyways pasensya na mahaba, salamat din sa pagsagot ng mga tanong ko
    sana makatulong naman to sa inyo :)
