    Most likely hindi pa narereview ng CO ung medical results nyo kaya requested pa din ang status pero dont worry once na na-review na yan at all clear mag-iiba na status nyan from "requested" to "finalized".

    @Chubmoks normally it will be known when you'll get contacted by your Case Officer. 1st pass review nila ng mga credentials mo and uploaded documents will tell you if deficient ang score mo and if not, they will simply ask for additional documents to support yung application mo. For my case, I've got contacted by CO after a month and 4 days (to be exact) of lodging my visa application. All the best and Good luck to your application. Prayers can make wonders too.

    Thank you so much po sa thread na ito. I've learned a lot of tips that I can use to strategically arrange my timeline to begin this application journey.
    May tanung po ako, how do Engineers Australia assess yung work experience? or sila nga po ba ang mag assess nung work exp.? So it means kapag nakapasa sa assessment, engineer status ka na sa Aus? (sorry newbie)

    Meron po kasi ako 6 months work experience sa isang super maliit na local company sa Pinas and I dont know if existing pa yung company na yun. But I do have COE's on all my work exp just worried for their verification. Upon reading, I think I need that six months earn more points by the time I planned on lodging EOI. Please enlighten me.. ehehe

    Thank you po sa lahat.

    By the way, I'm planning to apply for 233311-Electrical Engineer, currently working in Singapore.

    @vencel2015 Dre, un requirement ng EA ay 3 career episodes lang. One career episode per company na napagtrabahoan mo, kung may apat ka, wag mo na consider un 6 months. Un isang career episode ko is 8 months lang, ok naman sya..

    Un COE dapat may scope of work and sahod.

    @Chubmoks.. Maraming salamat sir

    ah so you mean... iba ang assessment nang EA versus sa assessment Migration Points?
    I read that pag
    3to5yrs exp.=5pts,
    5+ to 8yrs=10pts
    and 8++years=15pts. So ibang bagay po ang mga ito?

    Also, need po ba talaga na naka indicate yung salary sa COE? panu po kung wala? how lah?

    Maraming Salamat ulit sa lahat.

    Sencia na po dami tanung... :)>-

    @vencel2015

    Yup iba po yan.
    Ung sa EA is para lang maconsider ung Studies mo as Engineer. Ksi 15 points din un degree mo as engineer sa pinas.

    May dalawang option sa form, standard and the other is isasama e assess un number of years na experience mo as _____Engineer.

    Kung gusto mo makasiguro na un experience mo as _____Engineer ka for certain years then kailangan mo un isang option kung saan e aassess un number of years of experience mo as _____Engineer.

    Kung sigurado ka naman same lang un experiences mo lahat then go for the standard.

    Magkaiba price nun dalawa, 620AUD ata un standard and 800AUD ata un isang option.

    Normally ang standard pag wala problem sa mga sinumbit mong docs, 3 to 4 months.

    May friend ako na Civil Engineer sa pinas but ung work nya is inline mostly sa Mechanical (15yrs), so sa mechanical sya nun inassess nun EA...

    @Chubmoks thanks sa mga inputs mo.. naku naku 3 to 4 months ang standard bago makuha result.. buti po nabanggit nyo yan.. important yan sa paglalatag nang timeline sa processing journey ko...

    So basically kung tapus nang engineering bachelor sa pinas & may substantial related work exp. & if ever na may PRC din... therefore I can apply as a Professional Engineer.

    ma isa-suggest nyo po ba na kumuha pa nang Optional Assessment Service on top of the Standard assessment? 180AUD din ang difference... Pero kung malaki maitutulong nung amount na yun sa assessment.. oks narin.. ehehehe

    Salamat po and godbless. :) :) :)

    Yup, actually 3 to 6 months sya. Sa akin dumating 3 months and 3 weeks.. mga kaibigan ko din na nauna lang ng months ganun din 3 to 4 months.. Un ha pag walang probs/kulang sa mga docs na sinumite mo.

    Yes, makakaaplly ka as pro. engr. sa EA.

    Regarding sa optional assessment, kakailanganin mo yan pag di ka sure na inline lahat ng experiences mo sa nominated field mo. Ilalagay ksi dun sa result ng EA assessment mo un total number of years under sa nominated skill mo.

    Yan un pinaprobs ko ngaun kasi alanganin un first work ko and clinaim ko 15 points sa experience. Lesson learned, kung d lang talaga nagmamadali, dapat grinab ko na ung optional assessment... tsk tsk tsk
