Halos pareho din pala tayo ng pinagdaanan sa IELTS. If you don't mind me asking, bakit nga pala paper application kayo? Baka nagpost ka na din with regards to that sa ibang thread, hindi ko lang nabasa.

Ako since electronic ang payslip namin, print ko lang then submit ko sa DIAC. Although yun latest payslip ko lang ang in-attach ko. 1 lang. Hehe. Okay naman. Kailangan lang naman yan if ang COE mo walang salary information.

may tanong po ako tungkol sa Partner Skills.
You must provide evidence that your partner meets the requirements. This evidence must be:
documents that prove your partner is 50 years of age or younger
documents that prove your partner has at least competent English
a positive skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your partner’s nominated occupation (your partner’s nominated occupation must be on the same Skilled Occupation List as your nominated occupation).
ang ibig sabihin po ba nito ay yung partner ko kapareho kami ng nominated occupation?

Hi @bachuchay! Welcome to pinoyau! Try to check whether your occupation is on SOL or CSOL. Upon checking CSOL, may nakita kase akong ganito (though wala pa ako makitang Electronics Technician):
Electrical Engineering Draftsperson 312311 Engineers Australia
Electrical Engineering Technician 312312 TRA
Radio Communications Technician 313211 TRA
Telecommunications Field Engineer 313212 Engineers Australia
Telecommunications Network
Planner 313213 Engineers Australia
Telecommunications Technical
Officer or Technologist 313214 Engineers Australia
Automotive Electrician 321111 TRA
Motor Mechanic (General) 321211 TRA
Bka dapat check mo sa TRA if andon ung occupation mo and pde ka nila certify. Eto ung website nila:
http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Programs/SkillsAssess/TRA/Pages/default.aspx
Disclaimer lang, I'm not an expert in this area. hehhee Sana may iba pa makasagot ng tanong mo.

1) check kung nsa SOL or CSOL yung occupation mo
2) Check the points system and assess yourself
2) get the necessary accreditation / assessment depending on your occupation
3) take the IELTS
4) complete your requirements
pag may tanong or medyo complicated tanong mo dito sa forum or igoogle mo.
check www.immi.gov.au and other related links. sana po nakatulong..
Btw, naglodge po ako ng visa and hindi po ako nag-agent. sipag at tyaga lang. Hopefully, magrant din ang visa application ko..

Ang important po kasi is yung job description kung saan po nagfifit yung work experience niyo. They will be basing your qualification din po kasi sa certificate of employment na ipprovide nyo. I am not sure with TRA or Engineers Australia but with VETASSESS ang importante po is ung nominated occupation nyo is similar sa functions na nakadescribe sa kanila.
Example po is my profession, Environmental Planner po ako. Wala naman po kasi urban and regional planner dito sa pinas, sa PRC ang board exam is for environmental planner. Pero urban and regional planner po ung ninominate ko na occupation. Pinalagay ko lang sa cert of employment ko ung functions ng urban and regional planner based on ANZSCO and pumasa naman po sa VETASSESS.
Sana po naintindihan niyo ung point ko. hehe. magulo ata ako magpaliwanag?!

"You should check with DIAC before submitting an application to TRA to ensure that you have selected the appropriate skills assessment for the visa you are seeking, and that TRA is the correct assessing authority for your nominated occupation"...
pano po b i check s DIAC? need to email them or call them? may email add po b kyo?
pasensya n po confused lng tlg ko pano po first move n gawin since naghahabol din po ako ng oras..i'm 32 now and have to lodge before i turn 33..sayang din po kc yung points s age..
thanx in advance for ur kind heart..:))

Sa pagka-alam ko, hindi nmn magsasabi ang DIAC kung ano ang dapat mong inominate, kasi ikaw nmn nakaka-alam ng skills mo... pwde lang nila sabihin kung sino ang dapat mag-assess ng skill mo..

sa pagkakaintindi ko dyan sa info mo from TRA, there are two things:
1) ensure that you have selected the appropriate skills assessment for the visa you are seeking - may mga visa na para lang sa SOL schedule 1, or Schedule 2.. so they want to make sure nasa tamang SOL schedule ang skill mo para sa Visa sub-class na gusto mo..
2) "TRA is the correct assessing authority for your nominated occupation" - and kung tama ba ang assessing authority na ito para sa skill na gusto mong inominate..
