share ko lang experience ko para aware din ang mga nagaantay pa ng assessment..
dec 22 nagsubmit ako thru agent ng online cdr at skill employment assessment, by March 2nd week nagbago ung status nya to assessment in progress (di ko sure eksaktong nakalagay kasi si agent ang nagchecheck pero hindi na sya on queue) ganun nalang sya hanggang matapos ung ika 13th week wala pa din pagbabago, so nung ika 14th week, nagfollow up na kami para lang malaman na wala pa nagrereview ng papel ko. Sabi nung kausap ng agent namin, na naassign na sya mareview ng assessor pero dahil madami nakapila hindi pa daw napipick up ung application ko. To make the story short, nagrequest si agent namin na iexpedite kasi past the timeframe na tapos wala pa din result, so same day nireview at humingi pautay utay ng additional docs (as in 3x bumalik, hindi pa sinabi in one go) tapos wala na uli. Lumipas na naman ang araw, linggo di na naman nagparamdam. Hanggang kahapon tinawagan na ni agent ask ano pa ba kulang bakit wala pa din, humihingi na naman ng detailed employment cert sa past company ko, meron naman ako sinupply na employment cert na pirmado pero ang gusto ung detalyado ang work experience, plus signed ng manager (hindi ko mahagilap ang manager na yun mula pa last year ko sinusubukan kontakin at papirmahin) kung tutuusin di naman kailangan kasi as per migration booklet, kailangan mo lang naman magpresent ng detailed employment cert kung kasama sya sa career episode mo. Ung iba naman na work experience ko wala kaya sa inis sinabi na namin na wag nyo na isama sa skilled employment yon ok lang so after an hour sinend na ang positive assessment ko. Un lang di kinount ung experience ko dun pero ok lang dahil di naman naapektuhan ang points ko.
the end
sensya na sa haba, ang point ko lang talaga is, after 13th week of agonizing wait kng wala pa din kau balita, follow up na agad.
EOI lodged 10minutes after getting the positive assessment letter kahapon
Sana di din ganun katagal ang hintayin ko para mainvite

nga pala, alam nyo ba kng mga around ano oras naglalabas ng invite? pinas at australia time? saka may way ba na makita ko din lng nainvite ako, si agent kasi nagpasa. saka parang may nabasa ako na kapag nalodge na pwede din natin mamonitor ung progress ng application? pwede malaman pano? nanggawa nako ng immi account actually kasi nilink ko dun ung emedical namin. doon ko din ba pde macheck ang visa namin if ever?
at kapag 65 up ba ang points sa eoi madali lang mainvite o aabot pa ng ilang rounds bago mainvite? sensya na dami tanong.
salamat sa mga sasagot

Strictly required po ba ng EA ang detailed COE? with job responsibilities and all that stuff? Generic lang kasi usually and binibigay.
I understand sa visa application required ito, but at this stage sa EA pwede bang kahit hindi muna detailed?

may possibility na same ang naging case mo sakin, na hindi agad binuksan ng assessor ung apps mo. kaya inabot ng 15 weeks saka lang nagparamdam. pwede mo naman tawgan mismo ung assessor mo, kasi ganun ginawa ng agent ko. ask mo kng ok na lahat kng wala ka na kailangan pa ibigay. ang nangyari kasi sakin ilang beses may hiningi paisa isa hindi sabay sabay kaya lalo tumagal kaya talagang inaraw araw ang follow up hanggang one day, 30mins after magfollow up for the nth time, pinadala na ung positive assessment ko
goodluck!
