    @chewychewbacca Congrats. mas ok ba na asikasuhin na yung mga requirements habang naghihintay ng invite?
    if yes, san ko ba makikita complete list ng mga requirements na kelangan? nitry ko hanapin eh pero diko makita.

    Yes, advice ko talaga yan. Asikasuhin mo na lahat ng requirements mo habang nag aantay ng invite. :) Tapos yung medical mo try mo rough estimate kapag feeling mo malapit ka na mainvite. Makikita mo naman sa backlog yon ng occupation mo. Pero keep in mind yung NBI at Medicals mo yung magiging basis ng IED mo. Kung ano mauna sa dalawa. :) Single applicant ka ba?

    Hi Guys,

    I just finished TB test and everything went out as negative. Ni send na ng panel clinic yung results. However, after looking my immi account today, ang status is "Examinations assessed but further information required" , then when I checked e-medical ang status e "604 Chest clinic investigation about radiological abnormality"

    Does anyone have the same experience with me? I appreciate if you can share some of your experience. I hope nothing serious here kasi mag e expire na yung ACS ko this coming December.

    Hi guys, may concern lang ako sa employment history part ng form 80 at 1221. Hinihingi kasi pati internship at jobs na hindi related sa occupation mo.

    2009 pa yung internship ko. then in 2010, i worked as a real estate broker for 3 months. Wala naman ako evidences for these experiences (aside sa grade ko sa practicum nung college)

    My question is, need pa ba i-declare ang mga ito? Worry ko is baka manghingi sila ng proof i.e. CoE, payslips, etc.

    Please enlighten me...

    Timeline
    01-Apr-16 - PTE-A Exam Result
    08-Jul-16 - ACS Result + EOI submission (65 @ 189, 70 @ 190)
    29-July-16 - Received invitation to apply for NSW SS
    10-Aug-16 - ITA received
    25-Aug-16 - Lodged Visa 190 (all applicable documents uploaded)
    20-Sep-16 - Visa Grant (Thank you Lord...)

    @aug88 I don't recommend using your husband's last name sa NBI clearance mo. Kung ano ang nakalagay sa passport mo, yun ang sundin mo sa lahat ng forms mo.

    hi @ATaj, just saw your comment. Yes, planning to use my maiden name pa din. but dun sa NBI form, may space kasi for husband's last name. Did you write your husband's last name or did you just leave it blank?

    @mimic Yes, na submit na namin lahat ng documents aside sa proof of employment kasi hindi ako nag claim points for that.But I'm just a bit worried that they might ask.

    Same case tayo. @jinkai onshore din kami same visa with hubby. NaCO contact ako. Nagparevise lang ng AFP so I think no need ang employment proof if hindi nagclaim ng points. Hindi nAman ako nagclaim and hindi naman nagrequest.
