    @iam_juju nasa timeline ko po, Mechanical Engineer (ANZSCO 233512).
    I am not really hoping po to get invite for the NSW SS, dahil na rin po sa trend ng invite with my nominated job. Experience lang po to submit EOI.
    Nagrereview po ako to take IELTS siguro next month. nagtry ako review ng PTE-A for 6 weeks pero not comfortable, kaya IELTS nalang. target is 7.0 pra plus 10...
    tapos 189 agad.. hopefully.

    @jrgongon agree kasi I was caught up with the visa points kaya need to resort to PTE. Struggle as weekend lang pwede mag focus on reviews. I am praying 1 take lang to save din on cost. Should I nail this one, I will update my EOI to go for 189. BTW, Kilala ko naman si iam_juju kasi sa kanya ko binili ang mock test ko sa PTE...but never seen her pa. Hopeful to see everyone possibly after the VISA grant this year! God bless

    @hopeful_mea hanga ako sa 'yo as an accountant...mataas ang visa points nyo sa OZ as my agent told me din dahil na rin competitive na rin sa ibang foreign applicants for DIBP. I am also praying for my PTE-A to be 1 take only. Effort and prayers are my stronghold factors. Go for OZ this 2016! Good luck and God bless too!

    Hi guys, should I update my EOI?
    I am not claiming points for work experience since ACS deducted 2years from my 4years and says that experience only after June 2013 is considered relevant.

    I initially placed start date June 2011 and left the end date blank while putting "NO" for the question "Is this employment related to the nominated occupation?",
    Now I want to correct it and place it as such:
    Tick NO for employment from June 2011 to June 2013. Tick YES for employment after June 2013. Leave the end date blank if currently working in that organization.

    My question is should I update my EOI to change this?
    Nakakatakot lang kasi baka mabago yung date of effect ng EOI ko kahit na wala namang change sa score.

    Thanks sa makakasagot. :)

    @emboon if you update your EOI and tick "Present" it will change yung date of submission mo.. you can leave it as is if you are confident that you could soon receive an invite with your current points. Otherwise, better update it as what you are planning to do since that's actually much better way to do it even at the beginning you created your eoi.. come June 2016, you will automatically receive an additional 5 points if you are still employed

    @hopeful_mea may question which puzzle me much is to when to start using the provided notebook and pen during the exam. Need ba na magsulat na agad ng memorized templates in your mind para di mag cram during describe image part? Same with listening from dictation part section? Share your actual exam experience kasi I wanted to write everything I reviewed para di masayang. Feeling ko kasi I could hit high on my score if ma capture ko in writing the templates in the notes. Good luck, kapit pa tayo!

    @jedh_g We're not allowed to write before the exam starts and the 'intro of yourself' i think is not a part of the test so technically, pwede lang tayo mgsulat ng script natin right after the first read aloud. What i did was ngsusulat ako ng mabilis every after read aloud. pg 'completed' na yung recording, saka ko click ang next.

    Tapos maliit ang isang page sa notebook so niliitan ko writing ko kasi we don't have the luxury of time na mg.flip ng page so pagkasyahin na dun ang scripts. Sa xp ko, nasulat ko lahat before ngstart ang repeat sentence. So pgdating ng repeat sentence, ready na ulit mgsulat ng initials.

    @hopeful_mea thanks. So it means we could write our script templates after "complete" appears on the screen on the 1st question on read aloud part. Mabilis pala talaga dapat gumana ang utak natin para save time and effortless and pag sagot sa kada questions.

    Is the pen a pentel pen type or fine one? I have read sa thread that sometimes the pen ink malfunctions. Sana naman matest ito sa test centres before starting. May factor ito I think sa write from dictation part ng test including repeat sentence.

    So nakatake ka na ng exam? Good luck and hoping you nail it to 20 pts!

    @hopeful_mea also tinatapos mo ba yung 40 seconds kahit tapos ka na magsalita or you click submit button immediately? Sa speaking part ba ok lang sagarin magsalita beyond the specified time kesa magkaron ng pause in spoken words prior the time allotted? Kindly share your experience. Ito kasi yung part na gusto ko makuha para smooth sa actual exams. Thanks very much!

    Hello guys, i need your advice. Yung wyf q me pending NSW nomination application , no visa 190 lodge yet. Apparently, may offer sya fr her employer in QLD for visa 457. Is it advicable for my wife to accept the Visa 457 before the NSW nomination result? Or need to wait muna sa result? If ever she accepts the 457 then later on positive yung outcome nung NSW nomination, can she lodge the visa 190 application while she is currently holding 457 iregardless of ilang buwan palang sya nagwowork sa company? Anyone po having the same experience? Hope to hear your thoughts and advice.

    Hello guys, i need your advice. Yung wyf q me pending NSW nomination application , no visa 190 lodge yet. Apparently, may offer sya fr her employer in QLD for visa 457. Is it advicable for my wife to accept the Visa 457 before the NSW nomination result? Or need to wait muna sa result? If ever she accepts the 457 then later on positive yung outcome nung NSW nomination, can she lodge the visa 190 application while she is currently holding 457 iregardless of ilang buwan palang sya nagwowork sa company? Anyone po having the same experience? Hope to hear your thoughts and advice.
    if you can wait for the NSW result, better do that. mas ok pa din ang pr status kesa sa 457. just make sure na indi maoverwrite nung 457 ung 190. you can tell the employer na may pending application kayo for PR, i think mas ok sa knila un kasi no need na din to process your visa sc 457 kung pr na kayo.

    @xteen091 marami na nag aapply ng PR while they are on 457.. it's all up to you naman.. whether you prefer to stay here in the Philippines while you are doing your PR application and let go of your 457.. or you can just go to Australia and work under 457 while your PR application is ongoing.. parang mga nakastudent visa lang yan tapos while holding their student visa, they are also applying for PR..
