    @jedh_g as far as I am di m kailangan driving record. although you can only use your PH license for 6 months upon initial entry sa AU dapat iconvert m n to AU license.

    Driving here is right hand driving di tulad sa pinas left hand...

    @tooties salamat if that is the case. My chosen state is at Perth. Kasi there's no harm naman in bringing it there at Australia as the payment to get this official document from LTO main office at Quezon City is less than 200 pesos only. Anyway, thanks for the input! God bless...I'm on my next step this coming April as I hit my target scores sa PTE exam just this week. Visa 189 na kami as we acquired 65 points overall. Thanks to GOD almighty!

    @cygnus0613 Hello :) DIY lang ako, walang pambayad ng agent.. haha. Tunulungan ako ni @elainedevera sa application naming plus maraming helpful forumers :)

    Ang una mong goal ay to get invited via Skillselect, that is, to get a minimum of 60 points. And don't worry kung 4.3 years pa lang experience mo kasi me ibang factors pa naman to be considered. Let's try to "assess" your situation by points dun sa areas na "fixed or uncontrolled", purely assumptions lang ito ha:

    Age at the time of Invitation (25-32 incl) - 30 points
    Skilled Employment Outside of Australia (At least 3 but less than 5 years) -5 points- needs assessment sa Engineers Australia for confirmation
    Education Qualification (At least Bachelor's degree) - 15 - needs assessment sa Engineers Australia
    Total: 50 points

    Now, I-add natin ung controllable factor:

    English Language Ability - YOU NEED TO GET ATLEAST 7 ACROSS ALL MODULES in IELTS - 10 points

    New Total: 60 points :)

    Just pm me kung may maitutulong pa ako sayo :) Good luck and God Bless!

    Hi guys,

    May katanungan lang po sana ako. Kc dun sa mali kong nilodged na separate visa 309 partner application dati for my De Facto, may required doc dun na "Form 1221" which we filled up that time. (Update on this) - Processing na nga pla po ung withdrawal nitong Visa 309 application namin and refund request was also submitted.

    Waiting na rin po kami sa COC ng partner ko to be release and yun na lang kulang nyang requirement to be frontloaded sa ongoing visa application nmin.

    Now, since successfully na-add na ng CO ung De Facto ko under my Visa 189 application, my question is - I wonder if it's okay to front load the "Form 1221" pa rin khit na hindi ito ksma sa checklist ng CO na sinend sa akin last time and wla rin ito sa requirement under her account.

    May nabasa kc ako na - no harm in uploading it sa partner ko if I want to be sure of "no delays" in processing our application - baka kc nakalimutan lang ng CO or maisipang manghingi nito sa next correspondence.

    However, ang worry ko is, kung I-upload ko ito for her na hindi naman hinihingi or required under her account, baka biglang hingan din ako ng CO for my account dahil sa pagka-bibo ko imbes na wla nmn originally hinihingi sa akin. hehehe =)


    Need your expert input lang po if "to upload or not to upload FORM 1221 (Adding Personal Particulars Information) even if hindi hinihingi or required under her account?" - that is the question.


    Thank you guys in advance!

    Cheers and stay positive Jan2016 batchmates!
