Oo, since mejo magkalapit lang ang date of EOI application namin and the draw date, sabi ni misis hintayin muna daw baka makuha kami sa 189. Otherwise, maglodge kami ng SS for NSW.
Another thing din kasi that prevented us from prematurely lodging an SS sa NSW was that love talaga ni misis ang Melbourne. Dahil sa bakasyon namin 3 months ago, it gave us this dream to apply hoping na we can eventually move on from life here in Singapore....

Unfortunately, hindi ko masigurado sa inyo kung pwde na ang certificate of employment or kung kailangan pa mag-submit ng COE secondary applicant. I think mga seniors dito makakasagot nyan. Ang thought process ko lang eh I need a document to prove yung nilagay ko sa form, hence ni-submit ko yung employment reference ni misis and following that logic a simple COE should be enough proof. In fact, hindi ko rin ma-confirm sa inyo kung enough na proof ko kasi wala pako CO, pag-may hininga pa iba documents, balitaan ko kayo.
On regards dun sa TOR, binigay ko lahat ng pages ng TOR and then 1 certificate of graduation galing sa school nya.
Balitaan ko kayo kung may hingin pa saking documents.
