@mehawk28 pahabol nnaquestionskilled kba o sponsor o sponsored ng employer..f not malaki ba nagstos nyo buong family..t seems na buong family kayo na lilipad to australia..TIA

Need someone's advise po. So I already have a positive assessment for ACS (AQF bachelor degree + 7yrs10mnths experience) and a band 8 IELTS result. I already prepared the necessary documents na for visa application. But since I will be bringing my wife to AU (we got married just last month), it seems we might be needing the NSO-certified marriage certificate. Di ko alam gano katagal kunin yun but we're trying to have the process expedited. Would it be safe to just file for an EOI now kahit di pa kumpleto requirements? Baka kasi pag maaga dumating yung invite tapos wala pa yung requirements namin. Thanks sa tulong po ninyo!

Hi po. Plan ko po kasi to migrate to Australia (along with my wife, who's also working + 1 kid), ask ko lang kung need ko pa ba ng migration agency, or kayang kaya naman po ba kung walang agent? Working po ako dito SG for 2 yrs na, but total working experience ko is 7 yrs na (5 yrs sa Phils). Lahat po ba ng nagpo-post dito eh self-application lang or may immigration agency pa? thanks po.

Hi Brent parang almost same tayo ng case. nauna lang ako ng 1yr sayo. pwede rin mag agency pag may extra kayo, medyo mahal rin kasi dito sa sg ang migration agent. i inquired at aims.com.sg before and they quoted me like 4kSGD. meron rin mga members dito na ng agency.

Thanks aolee for the tip. Actually may na-check na rin ako sa pinas na agency, mas mura pa rin pala ng konti pag galing pinas. Medyo inabot na nga lang ng July1 point system, pero sige go pa rin. Good luck sa'tin lahat.

hi po, anong agency po kaya yung na mention nyo dito?

@kingmaling, we just recently got married also at di ko sure kung available na yung NSO marriage cert namin. Pero kung hindi pa, ang plan ko isubmit is yung marriage cert from LCR. Di ko lang sure kung pwede yun pero sana oo. Yung pagexpedite ng NSO copy around 1month lang daw naman, kailangan lang talaga ng constant follow up.

@mehawk28 hindi pa naman, pero just in case madagdagan points pwede pa ba yun ma-update?

pwede iupdate yung eoi anytime bfore invitation to apply. pero if in case nainvite ka na tas nag increase ung points mo, pwede mo pa din ipasa ung ielts with higher score as long as indi mas mababa ung total points mo sa claim mo sa eoi, pwede.

kingmaling · November 2016

@tweety11 oh pareha pala tayo..congrats!!ehehe..so nkapagsubmit na po ba kayu ng EOI ngayon?

tweety11 · November 2016

@kingmaling congrats din hehe. di pa. waiting pa ko ng assessment results.

kingmaling · November 2016

@tweety11 oh ok..so after ng assessment results mo, submit ka na agad ng EOI??

tweety11 · November 2016

i beg to disagree on this statement. kasi kailangan ilagay kung kelan ka nakakuha ng skill assessment result at english test sa EOI at dapat mauna mong nakuha yun before ka mainvite. pag ang pinasa mong assessment or english test result ay dated after ng invitation date mo ay ground ito for rejection.

tweety11 · November 2016

agree with @engineer20. At saka invited ka naman na so no bearing na kahit tumaas pa yung ielts score mo.

obviously u need to do your skills assessment first. u have a point but i dont think it will be rejected. what are the chances na ung ielts date mo e after ng ITA? Why would u even waste your money and time to take the test kun nainvite ka na? anywy, for argument sake, pwede iupdte ang eoi anytime. kun nainvite ka na, then u dont have the option to update it, but u can always submit sa dibp ung higher points as long as hindi lower ung total points sa claimed points ok lang.

for your reference the initial question is - pwede pa po bang i-update and english score after ma-invite? and not about the skills assessment.

vanessajoy · November 2016

vanessajoy · November 2016

Guys, I asked kasi baka mag-kaiba ang decision ng DIBP at EA sa relevant skills assessment, due to any reason (DIBP might ask for more evidence of employment). Pag nangyari yun then that will be 5 points lost and circumstances will change. But I am hoping na DIBP will agree with EA

@tweety11 ready for EOI submission na ako actually..pinoproblema ko lang ngayun naman talaga is ibang docs ng wife ko di pa ready like passport biopage kasi kailangan updated na yun with my last name na..not to mention NBI and police clearance..baka kasi mabilis dumating yung invite tapos di pa ready lahat ng docs..ehehe..pero kung OK lng naman pala at maihahabol na lahat within 2 months na validity ng invite then pwede na ako magsubmit ng EOI right now..

kayo po ba miss tweety (i'm assuming babae kasi tweety..hehe) na-process nyo na ba ibang required docs like NBI with your new last name??

@Xiaomau82 yes, i know that the question being asked is if ""pwede pa bang i-update ang english score after mainvite? The answer is NO. sa EOI pa lang ay nilalagay na ang details ng english test mo (date, reference number, scores), so kung ibang result ang ipapasa at hindi kung ano ang dineclare mo, the possibility of visa rejection is there.

Hi @vanessajoy, oo. Lagi ko nga chinecheck yung status haha. Ikaw ba nakapagsubmit na?

tweety11 · November 2016

@kingmaling yes babae ako haha. Di naman required na magpalit ng surname ang babae right away. Actually di naman required magpalit at all hehe. Maiden name pa din gagamitin ko sa lahat ng docs (pero idedeclare ko as married). Yung passport ko kasi maiden name pa din so yun ang susundin ko. Yung NBI kukunin ko pag may ITA na. Maiden name pa din gagamitin ko. Mahirap kasi pag nagpalita agad ako eh lahat ng docs/IDs ko nakamaiden name pa.

vanessajoy · November 2016

@tweety11 hay nako hindi pa, hindi ako pa ganon ka confident sa grammar ko e mag fa fast track naman ako..naging busy kasi yung teacher ko e kaya hindi masyado makapag check.pero pasa ko na ngaung november.Godbless you

kingmaling · November 2016

tweety11 · November 2016

@vanessajoy pasa na hehe. Yung akin di ko masyado chineck kasi excited na ko magpasa hehe. Sana positive.

tweety11 · November 2016

@kingmaling oo walang kaso yun. Plan ko magpalit ng name pagkaexpire na lang ng passport ko.

vanessajoy · November 2016

@tweety11 hahah oo yan we'll pray for that.hahha ako gusto ko sana one time bigtime kasi di biro ung fast track fee.masakit din sa bulsa kahit parents ko yung gagastos.inform you once na ma send ko na sa ea.

heavybane · November 2016

@tweety11 hayys.. nag-ask si EA ng additional docs today. hopefully ma submit ko din by tomorrow

oopss sorry admin, wrong thread.

auitdreamer · November 2016

Guys pa-help naman [-O<
1. I had assessment done for Developer Programmer. I worked for 2 years as a developer; Worked 5 years in an unrelated industry; and then worked for 5 years (til present) as a developer again. Do I need to declare the unrelated work experience in the EOI? and what documentation do I need to provide for the unrelated work experience when lodging the application?
2. I know that payslips and ITR are recommended as supporting evidence. Do I need to have both for each employer? Or is it sufficient if may ITR na ako for each employer? And kelangan din bang may ITR ako for ALL the years na employed ako or enough nang meron for each employer? Kasi kulang ako ng ITR para dun sa isang year.

tweety11 · November 2016

@vanessajoy, sabagay mahal din yung fees hehe. Balitaan mo kami pag nakapagsubmit ka na

there is question kung related ba sia sa nominated occupation u can select no. alternative, u can opt not to declare then upon visa lodgement, u have to enter all employment details within 10 years, just selct no sa question if its related.
