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 for the OT [-O<

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
