  @mehawk28 pag hindi naman po physically nasa SG, may parang virtual office lang sila dito sa Manila, nandito yung development team nila. But yung company address na nakalagay sa COE was yung SG address. Through remittance yung salary po nila. Kelangan pa rin nya kumuha ng PCC?

  @ladymamba24 maybe no but im not sure pero if you can show a copy of her/his employment contract wherein details as her/his work conditions and workplace is clearly stipulated - i think it'll help.

  no need and u wont be able to obtain SG COC din since d k nmn nagstay sa SG. u can indicate sa form 80 both SG and PH address nung company to avoid confusion. kasi baka hingian ka pa ng case officer ng clearance or affidavit n wala sia talaga sa SG

  @Xiaomau82 @StarJhan sige ganun na lang, wala rin ata sa contract nya yung PH address. Maybe I can ask my husband to get certification from his employer na dito sa PH lang sila nag-work and not SG.

  Hi po. Medyo lito lang po.. kase po may nabasa ako na nag submit ng eoi for 55pts for visa 190. Kumbaga pwede na po talaga magpasa for 55 points at mag antay na may mag nominate para ma reach ang 60 points?
  
  Saka po kung mag claim ng points for the partner, ano po ba ibig sabihin nito "had nominated an occupation on the same skilled occupation list as your nominated occupation". Ibig po ba sabihin dapat pareho kame ni hubby ng degree?
  
  Thanks po

  AFAIK hindi po kailangan. Ibig sabihin niyan is pareho kayong nasa SOL or nasa CSOL. Hindi pwede ang SOL (you) and CSOL si Hubby.

  Hi @butterfly thanks po sa info. Pa follow up question na din po ano po kaya ang dapat na inominate na occupation? Tama po ba na ang inominate nya ay yung experience nya at hindi yung qualification nya since hindi nya po napractoce ang degree nya? Salamat po

  @Grifter you should consider the criteria for that occupation on how to get a positive skill assessment. Kasi if you nominate the degree you can not have positive skill assessment kasi wala sya skilled employment related doon. Kung yung experience naman ang I nominate mo. make sure sa assessment the skilled employment nya kong required ba na ang bachelor degree studied to get positive skill assessment for that particular occupation needs to be the same field. Kasi may occupation na okay lang kahit hindi preho ang undergrad at and line of work as long bachelor degree.

  Hello Guys,
  
  I already got my ACS result. I asked for assessment for Systems Analyst pero according to result, hindi daw closely related. However, they recommended that my skill is suitable to group code 1351XX (ICT Project Manager, ICT Managers NEC, Chief Information Officer) which is nasa under ng CSOL (for nominated and sponsorship applicants). Any advise on how to proceed? I was actually eyeing Skilled independent application for systems analyst kaso hindi lumusot.
  
  Thanks in advance!
