    Reply to @hotshot: yup, sayang naman yung count ng experience pag tinanggal ko. i think that i can get positive assessment with ACS naman since i have the client references, mostly are from australia din. i was curious lang kasi when it comes to DIAC who will request for proof of work experience. so i guess, ill follow your advice. yun din naman gusto ko gawin, need lang po ng confirmation. hehe. thanks sir for your input! :)

    Reply to @shapeshifter2012: sir, manual po talaga yung thumb mark sa clearance mismo. Yung fingerprints sa application card, for nbi's record yun. Hiram na lang kamo sya ng stamp pad sa opisina at thumb mark-an nya yung clearance yun na yon.

    hello mga kababayan...nag try po ako ng points system dito tapos ung total ko is 60pts lng...pero ung IELTS estimation ko is low lang like 10 pts (band 7). feeling ko kasi puwede ko pang makakuha ng higher than that kasi po english teacher po naman ako sa abroad sa hindi pagmamayabang. gusto ko lng naman po kasing masigurado na i can get 70 pts (kasi walang ibang choice to get 65 pts) ung sa band 8 nlng na 20pts...etutuloy ko pa po ba ung IELTS ko kahit na hindi ako sure na makakuha ng band 8 for 20pts para maging 70 pts and assessment ko? ...LORD, help....

    Reply to @R_Yell: only you can answer this question... kung gaano ka ka-confident..

    i assume nag rereview ka rin about sa mga tips for ielts... hindi rin kasi enough na magaling ka magenglish.. you should also know how to answer the questions, and the structure of the exam..

    also, have you considered state sponsorship sa points system?

    goodluck..

    Reply to @R_Yell:
    1) apply for skills assessment first, and of course your ielts
    2) submit your EOI-Skillselect,
    3) In your EOI, you can specify here if you want to be nominated and which state, from here, you state can select you kung gusto ka nila..
    4) Or pag meron ka ng EOI reference number, pwede ka mag apply ng sarili mo sa mga State, you just need to provide to them your docs (skills and ielts)... please check the other thread on how to apply for each state..

    pag na-approve ang state sponsorship mo, may additional points, and then they will nominate you sa skill select, at mas mapapabilis ang invitation mo to apply visa..

    regarding IELTS, i answered your question sa kabilang thread... pls check..

    Hi guys. Sa mga nag-upload ng payslips / bank statement as proof of salary, pinagsama-sama ninyo ba sa iisang pdf before uploading? Meron kasi akong halos 5 years worth of bank statements that I segregated according to year.

    Reply to @R_Yell: Not so fast, brotha! Na-invite sya with 60 points dahil meron syang State Sponsorship. That's right, research mo na ngayon yung tungkol sa state sponsorship dahil additional 5 points din yun at automatic skillselect invite. Go!

    Ako pinagsama-sama ko ang mga documents ko according to category para konti lang ang iuupload.. at para madali lang maintindihan ng CO...although sympre kailangan i consider mo ung max size ng attachment..

    I dont think required nman ang monthly payslip for 5 years.. masyado nmn yata marami un..

    Hello po sa lahat, susubukan po namin mag -apply without migrant agent.. kinukumpleto na namin yung mga documents para sa assessment ( teacher) and intay nalang sa result ng IELTS. May mga tanong din ako... need your advise.

    Kailangan pa rin ba ng elementary/High school diploma ?
    Kailangan na rin bang isama ang pay slip or tax return for employment evidence kahit may COE at ilang years po kung sakali at need din pa ctc yon?

    Sa ngayon, iyon lang po... salamat sa inyong magiging sagot.
