@stynx di ako sure dyan kasi on-going parin ang processing ng assessment ko. pero share ko lang sayo pag.gather ko ng mga documents. Sa nabasa ko dito sa thread, dapat daw kasi mas mataas sayo ang position ng mag sign ng SD. Let's hope na sana may makapag contribute dito na similar sa case mo. pero i think mas madali kung kapalan mo na mukha mo papirma sa senior manager mo o sa HR. hanap ka lang magandang timing. mahirap naman talagang maghingi ng COE lalo na sa ganitong purpose. mas madali pa paghingi ng COE for credit card application. Good luck and God bless sa ating lahat.

Sa dating company ko sa pinas Accenture nde talaga sila namimigay ng job duties sa COE, so ang ginawa ko ay staturoy declaration (affidavit).
1. Senior Manager ko na nasa pinas pa pina gawa ko ng affidavit at pina notarized sa pinas din
1.a Kasama yung scanned copy ng current company id at may pirma nya
1.b Kasam yung scanned copy ng current company calling card at may pirma nya
2. Manager ko nasa Chicago na, pina gawa ko ng affidavit at pina notarized sa chicago
2.a Kasama yung scanned copy ng current company id at may pirma nya
2.b Kasama yung scanned copy ng current company calling card at may pirma nya
please pa backtrack nalang sa mga previous threads yung format ng affidavit

- COE from employers
- Stat Dec / Reference letter -> kailangan po ba detailed with projects, duration, roles etc? kasi right now naiisip ko lang is to include yung general roles and responsibilities. btw SAP ABAP developer po ako..
- TOR and Diploma -> need po ba notarized?
- CV
- NSO Birth Cert
any docs that I missed? maraming salamat po!

and about the notarization, if you'll follow ACS's checklist strictly, lahat ng documents kelangan naka-CTC except for the CV. pero parang may nabasa din kasi ako dito na nag-scan (colored) lang nung original documents at yun ang pinasa. pero kung sigurista ka, ipa-CTC mo na. hehehe
siguro basahin nyo na lang po maigi muna lahat nung provided nilang information about skills assessment here (lalong lalo na yung Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants) --> http://www.acs.org.au/migration-skills-assessment/information-for-applicants
good luck!
