@johanncedrick yes nakakakaba talaga. dasal lang tayo

hindi pa ako bro nagsusubmit ng EOI. wait natin sagot ni @raspberry0707 kasi mas maalam siya sa EOI. pwede kasi isave mo lang sa website yung details na nilagay mo sa EOI pero huwag muna submit. from what I understand, kung ano ang kailangan sa points system sa immigration yun din ang kailangan sa EOI like IELTS, kung anong claim mo na work experience etc ...please take note na once sinubmit mo ang EOI at naapprove, you have 60 days to lodge the visa so by that time dapat may letter na sa AIMS na nakapasa ka na ng exam. i think safer to wait for the results of your exam first.

@raspberry0707 what do you think?

johanncedrick · May 2015

Thanks po....sana nga po magreply kagad si @raspberry0707 para mlaman natin kung ano tama gawin...buti pa po kau alam nu n result...nhirapan po kac ako..huhu...ilang araw po b nggrant ang visa? my idea po kau? e yung sa eoi gano po katgal bago mainvite?exact 60 pts po b kau?

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Tama si @ophthaqueen.. safer to wait for the AIMS letter bago magsubmit ng EOI. Pwede ka na magfill up ng EOI tapos save mo muna..wag mo munang isubmit. Since tapos na ung first round of selection this month (May 8), ang aabangan nio na lang is ung 2nd round, which is May 22. Before May 22, cguro nmn nakuha na natin ung results.

For my case, may hinahabol kse ako na date. Nasa Thailand ako ng May 19 para sa wedding anniv namin ng hubby ko. Isasabay ko ung pagkuha ng Police Clearance sa Thailand. So late na kung May 22 ung intayin ko na invitation. So nakiusap ako sa AIMS via email na kung pwedeng makuha yung new reference number at assessment date on the letter. Hindi nila sinabi kung pasado ako or hindi kse d daw pwede sabihin via email. Pero they are considerate enough to give me the reference no. and assessment date (April 29). Sabi ko kse mgpapasa na ko ng EOI before May 8.

Nagsubmit ako ng EOI nang May 5.. May 7 ng gabi (May 8 na to ng midnight sa Asutralia) may email na ko from DIBP, inviting me to apply for the visa 189.

I just took a risk submitting my EOI without seeing the letter. Ang importante yung assessment date (April 29) is before the effectivity of the EOI (May 5) at tama ang reference number from AIMS. Magkakaproblema ako kung bagsak ako sa exam or mali yung info na binigay ng AIMS. My option to correct this is to wait na ma-expired ung ITA ko (60 days from tm

My option to correct this is to wait na ma-expired ung ITA ko (60 days from time of invitation), submit a new EOI with the correct details on the letter. Or kung bagsak, retake ng exam on Sept then new EOI.

Sa ngaun hindi ko pa kini-click ung 'Apply' button sa Skill Select account ko. Any discrepancy sa EOI at sa letter will result sa refusal of visa at pwede din magka-problem sa future visa applications ko. So risky tlaga ung ginawa ko. Wait na lang kau para safe.

Good luck sa ating lahat.

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Kung makaka-apply tau ngaung May at walang delay sa pagpasa ng requirements, byJuly meron na taung visa.

Wag kayong mgworry kunf maiinvite kau o hindi.. sureball kahit 60 points mainvite.. wag lang mabago ang cut off points sa July 2015. Kse nglalabas sila ng bagong rules at nguupdate ng SOL every July.

Ang quota for Med Lab Scientist ay 1092.. up to date 77 pa lang ngaapply.. kaya ang dami dami pa nating slots. Di kau mauubusan. Matumal ang application sa profession natin kse may exam at twice a year lang ang exam.

Balitaan ko kayo sa takbo ng application namin.

ophthaqueen · May 2015

@sey yup qualification is bachelor degree. kung nag Masteral degree ka din or other higher studies like PhD isama mo din as qualification. pwede hihingin din nila PRC board certificate mo. Yung drug test analyst is a job so professional work experience siya sis.
yes yun na yun ang COE is you are providing evidence of your work experience. yung supervisor o employer siya ung referee mo o reference. dapat mafollow niya ang format na eto at may contact number siya sa signature niya. Pwedeng HR din ang nasa reference letter mo as long as they follow this format:
certified proof of your claimed work experience (a reference letter from your employer/past employer stating your job title, hours of work, duties required and the dates of employment and if possible a copy of your employment contracts.)

johanncedrick · May 2015

@raspberry0707 Thank u very very much po...so informative po.last question n po for the record if di po ako nka 7 sa laht ng category sa ielts pero 60 pts n rin ako, mainvite p rin po b ako db?or mbaba chance n mainvite? wat do u think po?..another thing sa spouse ko po dapt po kumuha pa cya ng ielts or kumuha n lang ng certification from college school niya n english ang medium n ginagamit niya college years is ok na?,,,Thank u po ulit.....

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Tingin ko may chance mainvite ang 60 points sa profession natin kse mababa ang competition for the available slots. Based din sa statistics from April 10 na invitation, karamihan ng na-invite ay 60 points.

http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/SkillSelect/results/10-april-2015.aspx

Makikita nio ung occupation ceilings for year 2014-2015 dito:
http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/SkillSelect/SkillSelect.aspx

Acceptable yung certificate of English as medium of Instruction from College or University na proof of functional English for dependents.

sey · May 2015

@opthaqueen and @raspberry0707 thank u so much..@raspberry0707 pati po ung husband ko need nya magtake ng ielts?thanks

ophthaqueen · May 2015

@sey if you want to have additional 5 points to claim partner points, yes magtake siya ng IELTS. Pero dapat massess din siya ng AIMS kung med lab scientist din siya.

Pero need talaga magtake din siya ng IELTS even if you are not claiming additional spouse points kasi kung hindi magbabayad ka uli sa second round of assessment sa immigration. Im not entirely sure kung ok na ung letter from his university na nagsasabi na medium of communication or subjects are in English instead of taking IELTS.

Alam ko namention ni @raspberry0707 need lang ng partner mo ng 4.5 sa band. Tayong mga main applicant ang dapat mataas ang IELTS: all 7 sa lahat ng sections to claim 10 points or all 8 sa lahat ng section to claim 20 points.

raspberry0707 · May 2015

@sey.. sis pakibasa yung post ko sa taas ng question mo.. then click the third link. Andun lahat ng options to prove na may functional English yung dependent.

Kung hindi ka mgk-claim ng points sa hubby mo, enough n ung certificate from University or College na English ang medium of Instruction.

Kelangan lang nia mag-IELTS kung mgk-claim ka ng 5 points from him. Pero kelangan me professional assessment cia kung ano man ang profession nia.

ophthaqueen · May 2015

hello kamusta na lahat?

nabasa ko kasi eto kagabi at im concerned dahil recommended ng department of employment ang Medical Laboratory Scientist for removal sa SOL in 2015-2016. im not entirely sure kung applicable ba eto this coming July 1, 2015 sa immig....para maging aware tayo. pakibasa na lang ang page 20,21 para sa reasons for possible removal ng nominated skill natin sa SOL. please also feel free to confirm the authenticity of this pdf ha. hindi ko din kasi alam kung sino ang tatanungin kung totoo eto.

ophthaqueen · May 2015

@rjohndeguzman all the best! isa ako sa nag PM sa yo at pinadala mo nga ang reviewers. salamatt at nakatulong ng malaki....nakapasa ako sa exam! Good luck and God bless sa US journey mo ha!

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Hi @rjohndeguzman,

Ang tagal mong nawala. Congrats sa new job mo sa US.

sayang d ka pala namin makakasama sa Aus.

Sa Bangkok ung gamit kong mailing address and wala pa din akong narereceive na letter from AIMS. Sana before Friday makuha ko na para makapag-lodge na ng visa.

Good luck sa journey mo sa US.

rjohndeguzman · May 2015

@opthaqueen

Hi there! Looks like the document is legitimate naman and the way I see it, it is the recommendation of the Dept of Employment sa Dept of Industry to remove MLS in the July 2015-2016 SOL. The following is taken from the document (with my emphasis):

"The Department recommends the following occupations be removed from the SOL but other health related occupations already on the SOL be retained:
 2346‐11 Medical Laboratory Scientist
 2523‐12 Dentist.
Training numbers have risen strongly for these professions and employment outcomes have weakened, with graduates now experiencing relatively poor employment outcomes"

For the reason: "Labour market conditions for medical laboratory scientists are weak"

I hope hindi tanggapin ang recommendation nila, sayang naman kung mawawala ang MLS sa SOL which is applicable sa maraming visa class

rjohn

rjohndeguzman · May 2015

@opthaqueen Thank you so much for the kind words and you're welcome! That is good to know, and sana tuloy tuloy na rin for AUS

@raspberry0707 Hello Mam, yes its been a while, nag complete ako ng requirements before leaving for the US kaya talaga nawala ako dito.. Umaasa din ako before the week ends matanggap ko na yung result! All the best, I heard you started EOI na

rjohn

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Nagstart na ako ng EOI.. may Invitation na din.. pero d pa ko ngaapply kse wala pa ung letter.. need ko pa iverify kung pumasa ako tsaka kung tama ung reference number na binigay ng AIMS.

Sana nga hindi tanggapin ung recommendations.. sayang yung mga mage-exam pa lang sa September.

ophthaqueen · May 2015

hellooo! nabasa ko sa ibang thread na ang inupload nila sa immigration is original scanned color copies ng documents, hindi na certified true copy. nagrant nman ang visa nila. pero that discussion was way back 2013 pa.
nakalagay naman sa DIAC website--certified true copies dapat.
kung scan ko ang documents in color, print, ipacertify true copy, scan again then upload.... ok lang ba eto? this is for attaching documents in lodging visa na. im preparing in advanced.
medyo confusing.

@rjohndeguzman
Firstly, happy kami sau rjohn at nakahanap ka ng work in US.kung san ka masaya, ssuportahan ka namin...kung saan maraming green at napakaraming pastures, go for it. After all, future natin ang pinag-uusapan natin dito.Go John!

Secondly, karereceived ko lang ng letter last night. Nang dumating ako from work, tinawag ako ng receptionist namin sa condo na pinagtirhan ko at sinabing may letter ako. Lo and behold, ung letter ang na pinagkahintay natin ang inabot at sobrang saya ko dahil pumasa ako. Ung letter was dated April 29 pero inemail sa akin via priority mail post last May 1 pa...Well, walang pagsisidlan ung tuwa ko...at least, it paid off ung mga pagsusunog ng ibat ibang parte ng katawan ko just to pass this exam...hehehe... I mean, kilay lang sinunog ko joke lang ung ibang parte ng katawan ko...and I am understanding it literally talaga kasi andun ung comedy if literal mong intindihin lahat...syempre, nagpapasalamt ako sa mga contributors ng thread na to kasi talagang luma-life coaching ang level ng pagcocoach nila...alam nyo na po ung king sino...and for that, u have all my deepest amd sincerest appreciation tlaga. Without ur help, mabigat kung papaano magsisimula.

Thridly, nakakalungkot isipin if ganoon nga ang mangyari...kontodo effort na tayo tapos biglang 'boom!' Nawala lahat...pero lets have to keep our fingers crossed...sabi nga nila, ageing ung population nila at sa sobrang dami nila, they will need us. On the brighter side, nangyari nato sa pinas...kesyo ganito lang pedeng ihire nila na kesyo one is to one lang ung hospital to medtech na hindi nanagyari...dumarami ung mga nagkasakit ngayon, and medical and diagnostic care ung booming kaya kapit lang guys, recommendation pa lang naman.

Fourthly, pray lang and look for other options.

Fifthly, parang fifty ung spelling o pati pagpronounce...hehehe..kidding aside, trust Him. He has all the plans greater than ours. He has His own ways better than our ways. Kaya guys, relax and have faith. Everything will be okay.

raspberry0707 · May 2015

Congrats @jED0916

San ka pala based? Dito ba sa Manila?

Kung tatanggapin ng Dept of Industry ang recommendation ng Department of Employment, mukhang tau ang last batch na makakalusot habang nasa SOL pa ang MLS. Basta pasa na agad kau ng EOI. Ang kelangan lang natin habulin ay yung Invitation to Apply. Dapat meron na tau before July 1. Pag may ITA na kahit wala pang visa, hindi affected ng new rules yung pending application mo.

rjohndeguzman · May 2015

@jED0196 Maraming salamat po for your kind words!

Just this morning I received my tests results... It was successful! It was one of the most happy moments in my life right now, and sa lahat ng pumasa, congratulations for this achievement..

@raspberry0707 Hi Mam, I hope you receive yours na rin! and prayerfully, wag na muna tanggalin sa SOL and MLS... I have some family and friends sa OZ, they say in demand pa din naman ang MLS, yun nga lang ang trend is sa mga "designated areas' of OZ, medyo madalang sa big cities.. Mostly mga diagnostic labs... I have a first cousin who is MLS sa Sydney, Royal Northsore Hospital.. Maayos ang work... Pero she is there for 3-4 years now.. So sana ganun pa din ang demand.. Just like you said, mas okay if mag submit na ngayon ng EOI.. the better maka receive invites before sana July 1..
