Di ba po ang seal and details at sign nung nag CTC Dapat nasa front page?
Medyo di ako happy kasi nagulat ako dun sa pinag CTC ko ng documents ko pag bigay sa akin nag print sila ng details sa likod ng each document. Asa likod lahat ng Dry seal, sign nila at stamp na photo copy of the original. Lahat ng front page ng documents ko walang nakalagay. Lahat sa likod. I am not sure if tatanggapin yun ng ACS kasi I need to scan it back to back for every page? Medyo dodgy lang for me. 250 per document sya sa Ortigas and Law Office pa naman din.
Sabe ko pagka receive, dapat po ata sa front page. Reply sa akin kasi ganito talaga kami mag notaryo. Saka hindi kasya yung details tignan mo ( yung details almost half page ng document kasi print nila sa likod)
May naka experience na po ba ng ganito?

Not Suitable kapag, ganito.. tiningnan ko yung CTC ng nagnotaryo sa akin sa Toa Payoh parang hindi papasa sa rules nila ngayon kasi hindi nasunod yung asa baba.
Stamp and signature of Notary Public doesn’t state that the referee’s signature is witnessed
Signature of Notary Public only states “Attested Copy”.

Need your advise about Statutory Declaration, meron po ba kayong sample format that I could follow? My previous employers kasi don't provide job description due to their policy.
As I'm currently working in Singapore, pde ko ba ipa-notaryo dito (sa SG) yung Statutory Declaration na galing pinas?
Thanks in advance!

Hello sa lahat,
I got my ACS result and graduate ako ng BS Computer science (4 years) and got the result of AQF Associate Degree. They took 5 years less with my working experience although it says that suitable for migration.
AQF Associate Degree = 10 lang points po di ba?
For work experience naman I have remaining 3 years+ kaya = 5 points lang
Ang pinagtataka ko lang I have a classmate na kasabay ko graduate at nag submit din ng assessment sa ACS but got a AQF Bachelor Degree. Di rin nagkakalayo grades namin. Magkaiba lang kami ng Assessor (based sa e-mail name na nagbigay ng result).
Nag reply ako dun sa e-mail na nagbigay sa akin ng result kung bakit ganun.
Wait ko pa reply nila.
If di po sila nag reply, maganda po ba mag review or appeal?
Nanghihinayang ako sa 10 points na nawala sa akin

Yung nga yung e-mail ko ngayon sa nag assess sa akin sa ACS, kasi classmate ko nakakuha ng AQF Bachelor Degree tapos ako AQF Associate Degree. Grades namin di nagkakalayo.
Iniisip ko nga baka depende rin talaga sa nag aassess.
Di ko rin alam if review or appeal tapos ang reason ko kasi unfair?
Or dapat mag move-on n ako at mag focus sa IELTS to get 20 points
Sana may mag advise po sa akin dito, thank you po

Yung Date Competed ba ay yung month and year na nasa Diploma?
Graduated kase ako May 2006 pero completed ko yung course May 2002 to Dec 2005.
Dapat ba na ilagay ko sa 'Date Completed' ay May 2005
At doon naman under 'Time Taken' ay 3.5 years? O mas safe na 4 years pareho ang ilagay ko?

Matanong ko lang. Anong anzsco code mo? Am sure magkaiba ang JD nyo ng classmate mo. That would matter din kasi po.

Yes po magkaiba kami. Yung appeal ko naman is regarding sa Degree. Pero naisip na di namin ng classmate ko yan, baka dahi iba kami ng code. Nevertheless nag-appeal na lang ako para masagot yung katanungan namin. Dahil Associate Degree ang assessment sa akin, na-apektuhan din yung ni-less na work experience ko. Hirap din kasi pag may "what if's" di ba po? Update po ako dito feeling ko today labas result. If hindi po na grant at least malinawan tayo. Tapos move on na for IELTS
