    Mga kabayan, encourage ko lang kayo na magandang decision itong pag-move sa Australia. Nung June last year ako nag-apply at thankfully, na-approve nung September, then lipad agad ako rito at nakahanap rin ng work one month after.

    Go lang ng go! :)
    Nice one! =)

    Maraming salamat sa forum na ito.
    Mabuhay ang Pinoy-AU =)

    @ChidoRodgers - Nabawasan ako ng 5 points dahil hindi nag-match ang number of years of professional experience ko sa ACS at sa dine-clare ko sa EOI.

    Nung nag-apply kasi ako ng ACS, almost 7 years na ang work experience ko. I've been working since Sept 2007. Nung lumabas ang ACS result ko, na-consider nila ang work experience ko from Sept 2007 to April 2014, so almost 7 years, kaya nag-claim ako ng 10 points sa EOI.

    Kaso, kahit na-consider ng ACS yung experience ko from Sept 2007, ang starting count nila ay from Sept 2009. So dibale, nabawasan ako ng 2 years. Hindi ko alam kung bakit binawasan ng ACS even though related naman sa field ko yung work ko nung 2007-2009.

    Eto ang dahilan bakit ako nabawasan ng 5 points dahil dapat raw, 5 points lang ang ni-lodge ko sa EOI instead of 10 points dahil less than 5 years na yung na-consider sa experience ko.

    Anyway, na-approve-an naman ang visa. Sinabihan rin ako na marami rin raw na nagkakamali about this.

    thanks! :) sa Melbourne plan ko... sa Vic ako nagpa SS.
    Naku @chichan padating na grant mo haha... Kung ala naman problema sa docs at declaration I think sureball na. Sa akin dami pako worries kasi di ko sure kung ok na ba documents sinubmit ko para kay mother kasi di kami magkasama sa bahay for years na..nasa sg ako while sya nasa pinas.

    Nagpa request pa ako ng brgy clearance proof na dun kmi both nakatira but temporary nagreside ako sa sg for work, added support kung baga. Di ko na na submit kasi nagbigay na sila grant agad. So if sayo oks naman mga docs sure na iyan :)
