tanong ko po, kasi nakalagay din doon sa requirement na any member of EA can certify your docs. my sister in law is already a member of EA although quite new pa siya, 1 -year member. pero concern lang ako kasi sister-in-law ko siya baka questionable pa docs ko.
ano kaya mas maganda pa-notarize ko na lng sa lawyer?

kailangan nyo pong ipanotarize ang lahat ng documents na isusubmit nyo sa EA, if you want to keep the original... kasi kailangan nyo ulit magsubmit sa State Sponsorship at sa DIAC...
so i suggest na ipaphotocopy and then notarize...
ofcourse hindi na kailangan ipanotarize ang CV at CDR, dahil ikaw nmn ang gumawa nyan..

bale PR na po ang sister in law ko, nka-move na po sila sa AUS at isang taon na sila doon ng younger brother ko.
kasi po ang balak ko dun na ako lodge ng submission sa EA thru my relatives, at since member na po ng EA ang sister-in-law ko pde na po siya mg-certify ng docs bago ipasa sa EA. Ang concern ko lng po ksi eh meron relasyon, baka ma-aberya pa ang application. meron din nmn kami kakilala din na mg-certify, one of the pillars of EA, ung manager ng SIL ko. eh kaso kasi ayoko mgkaroon ng utang na loob sa ibang lahi, baka meron kapalit. bakas mas mabilis kasi processing ng assessment kung member ng EA na ang ng-certify.
meron na po ba nka-experience dito ang ganung process?

hinahabol ko kasi ung "age" points kasi i am 32yo now and May next year 33yo na mg-iiba na ang points, sayang kasi. kaya ang target ko sana is to acquire the fastest assessment coming from EA and target the maximum points i can acquire so I can lodge EOI before May 2013.

Thanks sir! Im seriously thinking of taking my chances that they can provide results within a shorter period. I just found out that visa 885 is still open for applications til the end of the year, di kasi nagbabasa mabuti e. If I manage to organize all requirements and submit to EA next week, that will be about 14weeks til end of the year. Photo finish ito if ever, ang i will need tons of good fortune to pull this off! Hahaha.
Cheers!

885 is a gsm pr visa for onshore holders of temporary visas 476 and 485. I have the impression that it would be so much easier to apply for this rather than submit an eoi for 189 or 190 and wait for an invitation. At least I can directly lodge for a visa rather than be subjected to eoi rankings. But i would need a lot of things to go for me to beat the deadline, not to mention scoring 8 across the board on the ielts exam. I will definitely need your level of ielts exam prowess sir, haha!

did they sent you an email or mail talga? if they contacted you through email, maybe you can ask them if you can just send the requested documents thru email.. if not, then mag-mail ka nga ulit..
during my assessment, the officer emailed me asking for another copy of my documents, and they requested it to be sent thru mail again...

I have reviewed your Competency Demonstration Report application, and advise the following shortcoming in your submission:
* Career Episodes #2 and #3 which you have presented do not describe your work as a Chemical Engineer. At least one additional Career Episode is required which describes chemical engineering activities. You may refer to the definition of Chemical Engineer (ANZCO 233111) on www.abs.gov.au.
Engineers Australi will be pleased to assess your qualifications when the above issue has been addressed.
Hindi na po need mag-pay another 20k+ for the response d ba? if ever need ko nalng iprovide need nila?
Salamat ulit.

no need to pay the assessment fee again.. they are just asking for additional documents..
yup, make sure na ung career episode mo has elements of the duties/responsibilities of a Chem Eng as defined in the ANZCO code...
ang pagkaintindi ko sa reply syo, "atleast one additional is required", so parang hinihingan ka pa ng isa pa.. pero para sure.. 2 na po ang gawin nyo..

mostly their requirement is to have the stamp on the page itself and not the back.. you should request sa magnonotary na ganun.. kasi un ang requirement..
