Hello po ulit, tanong ko lang kung meron sa inyo na naka-experience ng "hit" sa nbi clearance... Ok na po yung NBI clearance ko, pero yung kay misis may "hit" daw. Pano po ba ang gagawin dito?

Reply to @OZdreamer:
Bossing gaano katagal ang validity nung PCC dyan sa UAE?

megawatts · July 2012

Reply to @langgam37:
Pre, ilang months ang validity nung PCC nyo sa UAE? At dun sa initial entry nyo saan kaya binase nung diac sa NBI kaya or sa PCC nyo sa UAE? Dito kasi sa Qatar 6months lang ang validity...

lock_code2004 · July 2012

Reply to @megawatts: oo nga magandang question ito.. ung PCC na nakuha namin sa UAE, valid for 3 months lang daw..

pero mukhang one year pa rin ang binigay para sa IED ni @langgam37

megawatts · July 2012

Mukhang nagbabase yung last entry going to Oz sa Pcc sa home country or medical validity which ever comes first... Sana nga.....

langgam37 · July 2012

Reply to @megawatts: 3 months po yung validity ng PCC ng UAE, tapos yung initial entry date namin ay naka-base sa NBI clearance.

to all pasali dito, im from dubai...@langgam37 @lock_code2004 kailangan ba tayong kumuha ulit ng Dubai Police Clearance before we depart... since maari pa muna tayong magtagal dito..

langgam37 · July 2012

Reply to @coolflame: sa pagkaka-alam ko di na po kailangan kumuha ulit. Kailan nyo po ba plan pumunta sa Oz? Which State po?

coolflame · July 2012

Reply to @langgam37: sana before this year end kasi school opening ata dun is january or feb para sa maga bata, by that time, medyo balanse ng konti ang financial situation ko, im still scouting job oppurtunities on different career website..pero initial target is melbourne.

lock_code2004 · July 2012

congrats @coolflame.. naglalagablab ang tagumpay mo ah..
alam ko hindi nmn kailangan kumuha ng bagong PCCs eh.. i guess, kaya nga merong Initial Entry Date... dahil they want you to be there within that period...

langgam37 · July 2012

Reply to @coolflame: Parehas po tayo na Melbourne ang initial target, pero baka early next year pa kami pumunta. My cousin arrived there last May and wala naman daw problema ipasok yung mga bata kahit nag-start na ang school year. They were able to enroll their kids 2 days after they arrived in Melbourne.

Bro nagpa stamp na ba kayo ng visa sa passport? magkano fee, ano requirements? And san sa bur dubai?

misteraussie · July 2012

@coolflame:
Free lang ang stamping as Dubai. You have to schedule an appointment with the consulate by sending an email to [email protected]. Provide the following info:
- Name (could be you or a representative--isa lang ang allowed sa consulate)
- Above's Passport#
- Mobile#
- How many passports to be stamped (no need to provide the passport#)
- Visa subclass
- Desired appointment date (note that appointment days are only on Mon/Tue/Wed)

Wait for VFS' confirmation email. On the appointment date, simply bring the passport/s, DIAC visa grant copy, and the confirmation email from VFS. The AUS consulate is located at Burjuman Tower beside the mall. Less than 30 minutes lang ang waiting time sa loob ng consulate.

Last step: Smile at namnamin ang pinaghirapan

@misteraussie, thanks mate!

very informative...makapunta na ng manamnam ng husto...

Nico_AU_Dream · July 2012

Kamusta na kayo kabayan? Salamat po sa very informative topics nyo dito. Bago lang po ako dito sa forum.
Manhihingi po sana ako ng payo sa inyong lahat. Dito po ako nakabased sa Ruwais Industrial Complex, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Industrial Engineer Grad po ako, now working as a Planning Engineer sa Engineering & Construction company dito. Sa SQL po they can assest me as Industrial/ Production/ Plant Engr based on my experiences.
Dahil po sa sobrang tight ng Schedule ko sa work mapipilitan po talaga ako kumuha ng agent, at nakakita naman po ako sa Abu Dhabi City, medyo my kamahalan po talaga, pero di pa naman ako nagsign ng contract sa kanila. Nagseself review na rin po ako para IELTS ko, possible po by Aug or Sept mgpasched po ako sa BritishCouncil Sa Abu Dhabi. Luckily naman po dala ko naman most ng Documents na possibleng kailanganin sa application, notarization nalang po kulang.
Di ko po alam ang chances ko sa application for Australia, hoping for positive results po sa lahat process at alam ko marami pa akong dadaanan na pagsubok at naway ipagkaloob ni Lord ang nais ko.
Itanong ko lang po, since na need ko po ang service ng agent, san po ang mas okey, yung sa Pinas po or ung nasa UAE? I mean po kung duration ang pagbabasihan at yung quality ng service nila?
At last question po regarding sa 'Skillselect' para sa mga nagsubmit ng EOI simula nung July1, meron na po bang sa inyo or sa mga kakilala nyo po na nareplayan ng employer?
Baka po may mga Tips at information pa po kayo na pwede pang ibigay sakin lubos ko pong tinatanggap at maraming salamat po.

-Nixz

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: welcome to PinoyAU..
here are my tips:

1. Check your points kung ilan ang makukuha mo.. and based on that you can plan your course of action.. kung ilan ang required score sa IELTS, plus if you would apply for independent, or you need sponsorship/nomination for additional points..
2. Concentrate on your IELTS review.. kailangan yan sa assessment sa EA.. and additional points sa Skillselect
3. Prepare your documents (COE with Job description and CDR), for assessment sa EA.
4. Submit EOI...
5. Apply Sponsorship/nomination if required..
6. Wait to be invited
7. Once invited, lodge visa application..

simple lang ang process.. and kung complete nmn ang docs mo.. kaya mo nang mag-apply mag isa.. lahat ng yan eh ikaw ang gagawa (may agent ka man or wala)...

online ang application.. so if you have internet, you can do it anywhere..
if you have questions.. balik ka lang dito and mrami ang tutulong sagutin ka..
goodluck..

Reply to @lock_code2004:
Sir yung Tip numbr 3. Prepare your documents (COE with Job description and CDR), for assessment sa EA. Complete po yung COE ko kaya lang po walang Job description. Ang nakalagay lang po dun yung position ko at yung common items po na nakalagay sa COE, pano po kaya yun? lalo napo sa dati po pang COE? Salamat po @lock_code2004.

lock_code2004 · July 2012

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: nadiscuss na ito sa ibang thread.. eto ang suggestions, arranged according to importance:

1. try to talk to HR again.. and see if you can get it because it is really required at dapat nasa company letterhead and signed by HR
2. if not, ask if your manager can sign it (sympre ung manager/supervisor who you reported to for this position)
3. if not possible again, look for a colleague who sign this document for you..

in essence, EA will really need a document and someone who can validate your claim about your job..

coolflame · July 2012

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: hi, if you re considering agent try mo voitin walker, ayos naman kukullitin mo lang minsan, regarding COE, ang sa akin the documents i rpovided were mostly certifcste only, minsan nga salary and service certificates lang, but what they want from it is it should be in the company letter head, complete contact and address with signature, --- wala ding job description ang mga sinubmit ko...

Marami dito na makatulong sa yo to process it in ur own, pero syempre may advantage din yung may agent malaki nga lang ang gastos...

Nico_AU_Dream · July 2012

Reply to @lock_code2004:

Wow . Marami pa pala talaga akong dadaanan pagsubok

Nico_AU_Dream · July 2012

Reply to @coolflame:

Salamat po. Sa case ko po kasi talagang need ng agent kasi po nasa gitna kami ng desyerto ngayon, nakakababa lang ako every friday sa Abu Dhabi City. Sa camp namin mabagal naman ang net. Dito naman sa Office tiempo lng ako pagwala Bossing sa paggamit ng internet. Wala po bang naging comments ang assessor sa Certificates nyo? Ano napo status application nyo ngayon?

Nico_AU_Dream · July 2012

Reply to @lock_code2004:
Sir same pala tayo ng course.

coolflame · July 2012

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: may visa na ako...i know theres a branch ng voitin walker sa abu dhabi ( inabot ng 10T aed ang fee) sa agency palang i dnt knw if may changes...

misteraussie · July 2012

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream:

Take one day at a time... darating ka din sa point na yung grant na lang ang hinihintay mo.

In the meantime, ayusin mo na yung COE & other required docs while reviewing for the IELTS. Basa-basa ka lang ng forum para makibalita kung ano ang ginawa ng post-June30 applicants. Good luck syo.

coolflame · July 2012

Reply to @misteraussie: thank u, i got our passports stamped or "stickered" na today....ang yabang ng dating ng passport ko hehehe

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: yup.. goodluck sa ielts at assessment...

sisa16 · July 2012

hi everybody. i need your help,guys. i am a newbie (thanks lock_code) here sa forum and newbie din sa pag-aapply sa aus.

I finished Civil ENgineering sa Pinas tapos po hindi ako consistent na nagwork sa Pinas and hindi ko nagamit ang course ko. then nakapagwork ako dito sa UAE sa construction sector pero administrative works. I had a QS stint pero very minimal work lang (interim payment application). Naabutan po ako ng skillselect at dun ako magstart. However, as a start,I need to have my skills assessed. As I understand, dapat po related or closely related ung work ko sa pinag-aralan ko. I took IELTS (Academic) and got an OB of 8. When I checked ANZSCO, ang code ko po eh 521211 which is Secretary (General). Marami pa po akong issues, to name a few:

1. I do not know which visa is suitable for me kasi may mga nakita ako na phased out na pero yun ang suitable sa akin.

2. I do not know kung kaninong assessing body ako pupunta: EA or VETASSESS.

3. I am not sure kung eligible ako sa Points Test. All along, I thought naka 50 points na ko but since hindi superior ang ENglish ko, it went down to 40 points na lang.

4. Basically, I do not know how to start.

Really appreciate if you can guide me. My brother, who is based in Perth, wants me to study na lang. Pero magastos yun saka po sabi sa IDP, since degree holder na ko, I should take MBA para maprove ko na GTE ako at hindi ako ideny ng immi. If I can find other ways, gagawin ko po wag lang magstudy (magastos kasi). Pls help me. Thanks.

lock_code2004 · July 2012

Reply to @sisa16: welcome to pinoyau forum..

a) let start with jobcode na nasa SOL, have you checked SOL and CSOL?
if hindi nyo fully nagamit ang CE degree, maybe may occupation/job code na pwede mas malapit like:
Architectural Draftsperson - 312111
Building Associate - 312112
Building Inspector - 312113
Construction Estimator - 312114
Building and Engineering Technicians nec - 312999
Surveying or Spatial Science Technician - 312116
Architectural, Building and Surveying Technicians nec - 312199

if you want to pursue Secretary (General), check mo din kung available ba sya for sponsorship nga mga states.. kung nasa state sponsorship occupation list sya ng state na gusto mo, then mas okay dahil makakuha ka ng sponsorship,

you can find the link ng bawat state sponsorship website here:
