para sa assessment. kelangan mo mag pa assess kung mag apply ka ng 189(skilled independent) or 190 (skilled nominated) or 186 (employer nomination scheme-direct entry).
Sa 186 (ENS), pedeng Temporary Transition or Direct Entry.
Direct Entry, kelangan mo mag pa assess before ka makapag apply ng visa. Yung temporary transistion naman ay di na kelangan ng assessment dhil ang requirement naman nila ay 2years ka na working under 457visa.
yung sa part ko, 189 kasi ang i aapply ko kaya need ko mag pa assess.

pero syempre ndi yan conclusive kasi self claimed points lang yan kapg calculator.
yung pag lodge ng EOI (expression of interest) sa skill sellect at pag nareceive mo yung ITA mo, wala pa bayad yun.. yung payment ay sa mismong visa application.
take note lang na before ka may lodge ng EOI, tapos ka na sa Assessment. magkakaproblema ka kung ang EOI date mo ay December 25, 2016 pero ang assessment mo ay lumabas after that date. makikita nila na false claim of points yun.

Hindi na kami nag claim ng partner points kasi nakaya naman ng pts ni partner. nagkataon kasi 1 company lang sya tapos simula 2006 up to now dun sya nagwowork. so assumption namin ok na mag pakita ng recent payslip and ITR (2016) tapos nag add lang kami ng 2014-2015 kasi may copy pa naman sya sa bahay.. kaso ewan ko sa CO, duda ata. gsto pa proof ng dated 2011-2013.. kahit na nakaindicate naman sa COE na up to know under sya ng company nila. so ayun, hingi na lang ng ITR from previous years and pyslip record sa HR if meron pa sila copy.
