Usually kasi pag section 3 ang school, AQF Advanced Diploma yung assessment. Sa course naman, computer engineering rin ang course ko. Malaki rin nabawas na work experience sa akin. Yes. Susundin lagi ACS.

@karel19 for 65 pointers as per the current trend, nakikita ko na naiinvite sila after 2 weeks or a month. Unless dumami yung applicants na 70+ points or mapuno yung occupation ceiling for this fiscal year, i don't see any changes in that behaviour.

Pag nangyari yun, yung status ng EOI mo magpapalit from "Submitted" to "Invited." Pag naging "Invited" na yung status ng EOI mo, mag sesend ng email yung DIBP sayo na suspended na yung EOI mo since invited ka na.

@karel19 depende rin pala sa backlog ng ibang applicants with 65 points. Uunahin ng system i-invite yung applicants na naunang nag submit ng EOI.

Another question for anyone. If ever may visa 189 ako, pwede ba kong pumasok sa AU for work assignment sa current company ko for 3 months? After 3 months balik ako sa PH tapos magmove ako a month after.

Tanong lang mga sir. Any alternative gawin sa proof of experience kung wala ka COE (can't secure it) from previous employer years ago. Wala din ako ITR d ko na mahanap. What I have right now are my employment contract with them and all my payslip (nakalkal ko pa sa baul). I also can access SSS na may contribution ako na ung previous employer ko nagbayad. Panu po gawin tong reference mga sir? Thanks a lot- Sorry may ibang thread pala dito for this
