Kung kelan available yung mga tao, if it will be free time for me and wifey pupunta kami...

Google mo Andrew Ee and company, this is where we had our papers notarized. I think they charge SGD5 page per 1st page of a doc and SGD2 per succeeding page of a doc. Ask for discounts if you have lots of documents. They are in Adelphi Building - just opposite Funan IT Mall.

Any insight po? Thanks in advance mga kababayan

based sa mga nabasa ko dito ng mga nag-skillselect...pwede gawin ng sabay ang pagapply ng state sponsorship and pagsubmit ng EOI. although, bago iapprove ang state sponsorship, hihingin nila yung EOI number nyo (if you didn't provide it initially) para mabigyan kayo ng invite for visa application. so normally (i think), mauuna ang EOI lodgement before application ng state sponsorship. magulo ba? hehe

carla_glam · September 2012

Hi @paris_hipon - congrats po sa approval ng VISA nyo

I hope you don't mind if I ask some queries regarding vetassess assessment. Architect draftsperson po kc ung ino-nominate namen na occupation, since impossible daw po na makakuha ng positive assessment if Architect ang nominated na occupation. My question is, ok lang po kya if most of work experiences are Project Architect & Executive designer (since the job scope includes drafting) ? Or need namen mag submit ng employment certificate na Draftsperson tlga ung work? which is highly relevant to our nominated nomination. Any advise po? Thanks in advance & God bless

paris_hipon · September 2012

Thanks @carla_glam kayu po cguro ung nagpm saken sa pinoysg hehe. Anyweis, I suggest that when you submit yer resume to vetasses, include in it that one of the major job scope in the occupation is archi draftsman. Pde ren hingi kayu letter from hr stating your job scope and archi draftsman should be included there. Basta dapat strong ung evidence mo na part ng job mo is arki draftsman . In my experience im an interior designer, I first tried applying archi draftsman for vetasses last July since I heard di strict and west aus regarding show money. But my assesment was negative, dapat daw kasi and degree mo and job related sa occupation na inaaply mo. I just tested it if makakalusot but turns out no. So after nun nag apply nalang ako kung sang state me sponsor for my occupation which is south australia after nun positive assesment na. But I did payed another $600 sgd additional for the change of occupation assesment.

Feeling ko naman papasa kayu dunsa assesment bsta archi dapat ung degree nio and me job na as archi drafstman ok na po un.

Goodluck! Sana by yearend you will get a positive response from VIC...

paris_hipon · September 2012

Ah kala ko ikaw un hehe. I think what is written below means that Vetasses is asking if you want them to give you points advice this has a fee of course. Or if you choose without points test advice it means you already know yerself thta you have the passing mark of 60 points. I just calculated my points myself so you can do that also no need to ask them for points advice.

you can check your points here:

http://www.acacia-au.com/skilled-migration-points-test.php

I think the first thing you need to do before applying at vetasses, check if you have 60 points, second archi draftsman is listed under west aus state sponsorship so you can claim an additional 5 points. 3rd know what visa type to apply. I think you should apply visa 190 (thats the state sponsored visa I think) since they have faster processing time than the visa 189 (1-3 months). 4th Recheck also your points if you need to claim 10 points on ielts you need to have 7 in all (acheivable for pinoys). If you need 20 points you need 8 in all which i think is quite hard unless English is your native language.

Happy to help anyone who has questions bsta post lang kayu dito.

carla_glam · September 2012

Super thanks po @paris_hipon, much appreciated

Yes, abot po ng 70points (provided namaka 7 sa IELTS), sa Oct palang ung sked ng IELTS

Initially dapat mag stu-student visa po ko para mkaalis na sana by February, unfortunately full na po ung quota dun sa campus na gusto ko sa Sydney na late po kc ung submission ko ng requirements & we've realized na super laking money ang kailangan namen shell out for my 2 years of study there. Kya we are considering to take 190 visa instead, pra mas tipid po, kahit we have to wait a bit longer. Saka na lang ulit po ako mag study pag granted na ung PR namen para mas mura. Nakakahinayang lang po ung few months I've wasted for my Student visa application, sana nung July pa kame naka pag start..di bale we can start all over again, bawal mag give up

Sis, I'll take this opportunity to ask na po ah..

1. When you nominated your occupation as Interior Designer lahat ng employment certificate mu naka lagay as Interior Designer? Or ok lang na iba ung Designation na nakalagay sa certificate mu but as long as detailed ung resume mu naka-indicate ung job scope mu?
2. All notarized documents has to send via courier tama po ba?
3. Sinabmit mu po lahat ng certificates mu like training sa autocad, revit, etc?
4. Ung photos na sinubmit mu pina-certified mu rin? Panu po un? tatatakan po nila ung photos?
5. All documents like transcript, dipoloma, etc..has to be photo-copied & let it certified by an authorized person tama po ba?
6. NBI clearance mu po sa Pinas san ka po nag apply? Umuwi ka pa po ba or nag request ka from Phil Embassy?

Pasencya na po ha masyado ako madaming tanong, just want to make sure na tama lahat para walang delay or problem sa application..balak ko na po kasing mag submit any day this week.

Thnaks sooo much sis & God bless you

paris_hipon · September 2012

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Went to phil embassy here then filled up the nbi form with the authorization letter then I sent it to my mom sa pinas. Then she was the one who applied for it sa pinas.

I thought also of applying a student visa pero parang ganun din kase magagstos mo. Mas mabilis nga lang pero if resident visa aaply mo e mas tatagal lang naman ng a couple of months from the student visa so better talaga resident visa nalang iapply.
