    @Megger Hahaha Ako nga wala pang ITA almost complete na documents eh. Siyempre claim the blessing of God! Tiwala lang. :)

    Sabi ni sir @mav14 depends on your NBI or health clearance. Kunyari June 14 mo nakuha NBI mo tapos June 24 yung medical, dapat on or before June 14 mag IED ka na. Sa pagkakaintindi ko ganun.

    @KP yes i have redone my eoi using new email and u can even call immigration and verify if all good. My first eoi was May 19 lodged, invited May 25, then @engineer20 advised i re-lodge using new email ad, all good naman we lodged June 21 5pm then we got invited June 22, 12:05am! Try it! Worth it. Granted visa last 14 July praise God

    Thank you @engineer20 and @GabPhAu, there is a small glimpse of hope here.

    Honestly, I am inside Au already thru Visa 476. Engineers Australia rejected my Skilled Employment Work Assessment for 1 year inside Au as the assessor claims that I am paid 'very low' compared to what a casual professional industrial engineer should have. Masakit lang tanggapin na first job inside Au basta within my profession tatanggapin ko, tapos hindi tatanggapin ang assessment dahil mababa ang sahod? From getting 60, went down to 55. With your suggestion, I can pass 55 pts to Visa 190. Its a long shot I know, oh well..

    Nabasa ko po ito sa Expat Forums:
    "The situation of 2613* for 60 pointers is rather grim. According to DIBP, 17 February 2016 round was the last in which 60 pointers were invited and its backlog is rather huge by now. Currently it stands at 12 Dec 2015 unfortunately! A very close friend of mine submitted his EOI for Software Tester with 60 points on 23rd Dec 2015 and he is still waiting for invite.
    I am sure you will get an invite but I can't outline the time frame and expect no less than 5-6 months. If you are in hurry then you should think of some way to increase ur points from 60."

    @thisisme1 Lahat nung pinasa ko sa ACS yun na rin ipapasa ko sa visa lodging. Kulang na lang ITR and payslips pero madali na lang yun kasi print na lang yon kasi sinesend lang naman ng HR yon via email. Tapos NBI clearance meron na ako. Medical na lang talaga. :)

    question pala @chewychewbacca sa mga docs na iuupload pag may invite na. Kailangan ba lahat naka CTC katulad nung pinasa sa ACS? Example: Naka-CTC birth cert, marriage cert, etc.?

    parang may nabasa ko na kay @Captain_A hindi naka CTC. tama ba sir?

    @chehrd

    Reference letter - is a recommendation from a person whom you had worked with by stating his witness to you of a certain professional or trade expertise/skill. This is usually centered on you with a concerned co-employee attesting your competence.

    Certificate of Employment (COE) - is a legally statement document coming from HR to signify dates of legitimate employment period which covers number working hours per day, monthly salary, duties and responsibilities, employee information, etc.

    @jedh_g ... thanks howver in the immi.gov.au, it's said there that reference letter should indicate the exact period of employment (including whether permanent or temporary, full or part-time), position(s) held, the duties undertaken and the salary earned..

    that's why i got confused if it's the same with COE..

    I am not sure po if this is correct. Pero baka ganito

    COE - with company letterhead

    Reference Letter - In case na hindi nagbibigay yung company ng tailormade na COE. Minsan kasi generic lang binibigay nila.

    Anyway, if you have COE naman na you dont need to request for a reference letter.

    If you cannot get detailed COE from previous employers. Nagsubmit kmi ng statutory declaration. Under agent kasi ako so yun yung advise samin

    si DIBP ba nag check ng Eployment Reference ulet? Do they call the company to do background check? Or they live it na assessing group mo ung pag background check? Do they actually call the people who signed your COE?

    yes they do i have a friend who was refused because hindi nila makontak yung taong nakalagay sa reference letter niya. But I think yung pagtawag is by sampling lang
