Sino po dito ang nagpasa sa EA early January, may results na ba kayo?.
Nagpasa ako ng Jan 9, expected 15 days fast track kahapon. Pero wala pa sakin.
@austin_powers try asking for company letterhead from HR, tapos kaw na magprint ng COE with JD tsaka mo po papirma sa boss mo. Or kung ayaw magbigay ng HR nio ng blank letterhead, ask mo kung pwede sila na magprint nung ginawa mo.

(1) So first question -I have to take IELTS exam first before i apply for an assessment under CRD path?
(2) Do i have a similar profile here? Can anyone share their CPD and career episodes for my reference lang. Or if not, can someone guide me na lng with critical pointers in preparing the report?
(3) im in a defacto relationship- say i get invited, and unfortunately we dont have enough proof to backup our relationship - ano mangyayari - will the officer deduct the (5) points i initially claimed? or may iba pang consequence un sa application ko? We have a daughter that we will include in the application. Ano rin maging consequence nun for her and me?
(4) from what ive read so far, 60 min points to get invited - will my calculated 70 points (subclass189) or 75 points (subclass 190) be enough to get me an invitation or case to case basis sa nominated occupation?
Sobrang pagbaback read po ginagawa ko during my free time. sorry kung naulit itong question ko coz ive seen a lot already raised the same concerns. Thanks po.

(1) - Yes, IELTS is a must para makapag apply for assessment. Ang minimum score for assessment is at least 6 in all four modules. I guess nabasa mo na pero if not, read the MSA booklet. Lahat ng questions mo about EA assessment more or less masasagot neto:
https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/shado/About Us/Migration Skills Assessment/msa_booklet.pdf
(2) - I'm also working on a semicon company and I've had two roles na dineclare ko sa application ko. I was hired as an Equipment Engineer pero currently nasa Packaging ako, ang nominated skill ko is production or plant engineer since nacocover ng nominated skill na to yung job description ko for both roles. Ongoing pa assessment ko kaya di ko pa mashshare yung sakin, baka kasi sablay tas sa akin mo ipattern baka madamay pa kita hehe! Pero I can send you some of the samples na nakuha ko din dito sa forum, iba ibang professions nga lang pm mo ako with your email ad para masend ko sayo.
(3) - sorry pero no idea
(4) - Mataas ang 70 pts, sa pagkakaalam ko (sa kakastalk sa timeline ibang mga nandito din sa forum hehe) eh madali ka na makakakuha ng invite kapag ganun lalo na malayo pa sa occupation ceiling ang nominated skill mo. Pero then again, hindi ito guaranteed by the time na mag submit ka ng EOI mo

Hope this helps! All the best!
