  ENgineering technologist ako e, nasa magic 6 sya, 65 minimum sa 189 to be invited, 65 talaga ako, after ko ni appeal sa EA ang kanilang previous outcome... d sya informal review, only verification sa EA tapos forward nila sa assessor for review...
  mabilis action ng EA, ang assessor lang nanindigan for 10 email threads na tama sya, at the end pasa sa EA one day approve request ko....

  @ClmOptimist I see, for 190 - invitation is not by schedule. Let's hope that you get invited on the succeeding rounds. Pray lang & patience.
  
  How about re-taking PTE and aim at least 79? (if cost is not an issue for you)

  Hello @periwinkle! Welcome to October batch. Hope maging okay din SG COC natin. Follow-up ka din on Monday like @Anino78 pag wala pa, para ma-expedite nila.
  
  @bogart okay na din ba SG coc nyo? I remember parang nabanggit mo before that you also have to process.

  thanks @jillpot yup, follow-up ko early next week. Hopefully ok na sa Monday. Pinas-based na kasi kami so after approval ng e-appeal need pa mag fingerprinting sa NBI and ipapa-DHL pa to SG so medyo mahaba pa yung processing time nung sa amin.

  @MikeYanbu - yes, you are required to lodge and pay visa fees within 60 days. It is also recommended to prepare and complete all applicable docs, para ma-frontload mo na upon lodging, and para mas mataas ang chances of Direct Grant.
