hello alexamae!... dito ko nagpa-CTC - K S LOO & CO 141 Cecil Street #10-03 Tung Ann Association Building Singapore 069541 Singapore, Raffles Place 069541 Tel: 62250311... call ka muna para siguradong andun yung lawyer/notary public, parang mas ok dyan kesa sa ibang natawagan ko before... sa iba kasi pag wala dun yung lawyer ipapaiwan yung docs then papabalikan sayo or set ka pa ng appointment. 5sgd and 1sgd succeeding page of the same document, yung may dry seal ata ang mas mahal 10sgd pero ndi naman na kailangan yung dry seal.

Pede ka din mag-search dito kung san mas malapit sayo http://www.sal.org.sg/content/LI_np_dir.aspx na pareho lang ang bayad.

cheers!

wow, salamat!! this is very helpful tlaga!! thank you po!

additional question @mimaahk, yung mga documents na pina notarize mo or ctc dito, is mga documents ba na nakuha mo sa SG? or pwede ring ung mga from pinas like TOR, NCO birthcert, diploma etc? Kasi may hinihintay pa akong files from Cebu isasabay ko na sana dito ung notary eh.. Thanks ulet! more power..

mimaahk · August 2011

Yeap majority galing Pinas... employment certs, passport, diploma, transcript, etc... yung original signature or stamp ang chinicheck ng notary public sa document para i-certify nya as original... birth cert NSO certified na dati kong pinakuha sa Pinas ang pinasa ko.

mimaahk · August 2011

i mean i-certify nya as true copy

alexamae · August 2011

Helo po. Sino po ang may sample or format ng statutory declaration? Yung previous Company ko kasi ayaw mag provide ng more detailed COE. Thank you in advance.

hi, nagRPL ako nung 2009 pa, im not sure if iba na ang RPL ngayon, pero i-explain mo lng ng maigi ung alm mo about IT sa CBOK. isulat mo un mga ginagawa mo day to day. at saka un mga natutuhan mo sa mga trainings.
san daw insufficent ung info? sa cbok or sa project report?
pm me ur email addy.

ylai · September 2011

hello peeps. tanong ko lng... how long does it take for the status of your application on the ACS website to change? Kasi ung akin, I completed payment on Sept 5 then allocated ung status ko then i sent the hard copies the same day. I received confirmation from ACS on Sept 8 that they already received the hard copies but the status is still allocated... anyone having similar experience?

a bit worried lng kasi im also following @katlin924's blog then ung sa kanya when nag confirm ung ACS na they have received the hard copies iba ung status nya agad, with assessor na... I've been checking my emails din everyday baka may kulang na docs... e wala naman akong natanggap

aolee · September 2011

@ylai dont worry its still too early to panic

sabi sa site nila "...timeframe is approximately 12 weeks from the receipt of the physical documentation."

baka hindi lang updated ung info portal ng acs.

mimaahk · September 2011

@ylai pag may kulang na documents the status is in stage3 yata... tama si aolee baka hindi palang updated yung portal... yung status ng application ko hindi ko na-monitor when napalitan... basta pagtingin ko stage4 na after few weeks na makareceive ako ng email from ACS... maa-update din yan... still waiting for the result... goocheers!

ylai · September 2011

@aolee and @mimaahk: Thanks for the encouragement guys

really appreciate it... patience and prayers lng talaga... i guess, na excited lng ako masyado

indaydiego · September 2011

hello po. tanong ko lang kung yung result letter ba ay sinend ng acs thru mail or email? kasi nakalagay sa status is finalised na pero till now wala pa din yung result letter. more than 12 weeks na kasi kaya kinakabahan na ko. thanks in advance sa magreply :-S

bonzi · September 2011

thru registered mail yan.

onesilvertwo · September 2011

Hello po, it used to be via registered mail pero I remember reading from the site na effective august 15 (or basta aug) by email na siya. Protected lang siya ng password.

bonzi · September 2011

oopps sorry, 2009 pa kasi ako nag ACS e

onesilvertwo · September 2011

@bonzi nito lang din nag change, napansin ko lang when I tried to review the new guide na inupload nila sa site. pati site nila may changes na din.

@indaydiego since nag change na to finalised ang case mo, may nareceive ka ba email saying that your case has been finalised? andun din details kung kelan mo "approx" marereceive ang result. in our case nung courier pa, they will give the item number (reg mail) for monitoring. 2 weeks from the date of their email, nareceive ko ang result letter.

According sa website ng ACS. thru Email na ang result letter nila. Antayin mo lang.. baka andyan na yan. Yung akin nga ang tagal eh. Haayy.. Pero wala pa naman kseng 12weeks kaya oks lang.. No need to panic.

Good luck sa atin. Ang hirap mag-antay no? nakaka-kaba kung ano nag result na ibibigay nila.

mimaahk · September 2011

Hi guys! Just got my ACS assessment result today… unexpected, pang 7wks/5 days palang by today akala ko exactly 12wks yung result

… ang bilis! Section 2 din ang school ko nung college pero assessed under GroupA.

Yes, naka-attach sa email yung result in pdf format.

@katlin924 malamang magkasunod na tayo ng result… goodluck!

onesilvertwo · September 2011

@mimaahk wow! Congrats!!! I know how you are feeling now. Hahaha! It's a motivation for you to perform well in IELTS.

May part ng letter na sinasabi na "you have so far satisfied as of" then my date. Nasa 1st paragraph ata. Di ko marecall exact wording nasa bahay kasi letter ko. Though I've already asked it in ACS(wag daw pansinin). Diba yan ay yung version o publication ng PIM3? Parang sinasabi niya na under PIM3 published on that date na minention, nasatisfy mo ang criteria. This is nothing to do with the counting of your work experience diba? As long as enumerated ang work experience with corresponding period, ibig sabihin yun ung kinosider ng ACS diba?

Nawala antok ko sa good news mo. Haha!

@katlin924 malapit na yan. Makita mo magkakabatch pa tayo. Kelan mo plan mag lodge @mimaahk?

mimaahk · September 2011

@onesilvertwo... itong part ba? "For the purpose of your application you have as of August 2006 satisfied the requirements of the ACS as stated in the PIM 3 policy manual for Group A" ... oo ndi ko na din pinansin yung august 2006, I think publication nga yun.

Yung skilled employment experience detailed naman per employer naka-list sa baba ng letter, kung ilang years and months ang counted. Meron akong isang 'not assessable' buti 4mths lang ako dun sa company na yun, ndi na kasi ko nakahingi ng detailed COE pano nagsara na sa manila and ang kaisa-isang proof ko lang is yung certificate of employment na job title and length of service lang nakasulat.

Unfortunately sa husband ko tatlong previous employer ang 'not assessable' kahit ang dami na naming proofs na isinama sa statdec... payslips, employment contract, job offer, sss and pag-ibig... nagsara na kasi yung mga companies kaya hindi na kami nakahingi ng latest detailed employment cert... 3.5 yrs of work experience ang hindi na-consider. Importante siguro talaga na may personal reference... on the bright side, positive pa din naman result nya and in GroupA din kahit section2 ang school.

Sana by November makapag-lodge na din ako sa DIAC... sana nga maging magkaka-batch tayo, mag-dilang anghel ka ulit ha!

Cheers!

onesilvertwo · September 2011

@mimaahk, bakit yung akin as of Jan 2008? ano iniindicate nito. though sinabi ng ACS nung nakausap ko, nothing to do daw with the calculation of work experience. is it a period of time from the first employment? I started working year 2004 hanggang ngayon (5 companies na).. ikaw when did you start to work? lets just find out if it has a relationship on the date written on the result letter.

sa akin:

1. Work experience 1
June 2004 to Oct 2005 ( 1 Year, 4 months)

2. Work experience 2
Jan 2006 to Mar 2008 ( 2 Years, 2 months)

3. Work experience 3
Duration

4. Work experience 4
Duration

5. Work experience 5
Duration

Pag kinompute ko siya with reference sa minention niya na Jan 2008, parang 40 months from the date I started working... ikaw, what value did you get?

mmm... parang ang iniiindicate nya ay halimbawa ang required experience sa PIM3 to be qualified is at least 36 months(plus or minus), so parang as of Jan 2008, na gain or nasatisfy na (in your case, as of Aug 2006). what do you think? pakicompute mo naman yung sa iyo. hehe. para maconfirm natin.

then saka ulit ako tatawag sa ACS to double check...

magclaim ka pala ng partner skills. good for both of you... yes, nawa mag dilang anghel for all of us.

wisha · September 2011

@mimaahk Congrats! IELTS na lang, ok ka na.. Paano mo po nadiscuss ung detailed projects mo? Ilang projects? and ilang pages inabot? Yun na lang di ko kasi sure kung pano. TIA!
