about dun sa mga tanong nyo sa taas:
60 points lang po yung cut-off, hindi 65. pero mas madali mainvite kapag mas mataas yung points.
as far as i know, pwede mauna dun kahit secondary applicant. kailangan lang maginitial entry yung all applicants sa australia para maactivate yung visa, usually a year after ma grant yung visa yung dead line, kahit hindi sabay sabay.
isa lang po makapasa sa assessment, damay na buong family as dependents.
pwede nyo po icheck yung mga job description sa anzsco occupation codes kung may match sa job nyo ngayon. try using google for searching po.
sa una po yung bayad ng visa. magrant o hindi. iba pa po yung bayad ng assessment.
ang simplified flow po ay IELTS>Assessment>EOI>Visa.
Godbless po sa application!

May queston ako sa Page 13 ng visa application. Dun sa Employment History. Paano nyo sinabi na currently employed pa dun sa company na yun? Kasi dun sa dates, kailangan mag specify na ng Date from and Date to nung employment. Current date na lang ba ilagay dun sa Date to? Ayaw naman pumayag na blank na lang yun to signify na currently employed pa.
Thanks in advance

Will I get a refund if I withdraw my visa application?
Your visa application charge will be refunded if:
your application was unnecessary at the time it was made
your application is made because of a mistake made by us
the applicant dies before a decision is made.
You might also be given a refund if your visa application is made by mistake, for example if you apply for the wrong type of visa. You should ask for a refund in your withdrawal letter.
You will not be given a refund if you:
change your mind about continuing the application
do not satisfy a criterion for visa grant
claim it was a mistake to have applied because your visa application was unsuccessful (that is, you state that you would never have applied for this visa had you known your application would not be successful)
believe after your visa application was unsuccessful that you applied for the wrong class of visa
