sino hiningian ng ITR dito? humingi ng ITR CO ko from 2007-2009 as proof of overseas experience. Tinanong ko kung pwde na cert. of employment, sabi lang i-send ko lang ng proof ko pero I still require ITR.

Pwde ba humingi ng copy sa BIR?
Ako po hiningan din actually lahat hiningi, ITR, Payslips, COE and bank statement
binigay mo lahat? wala na ako bank statement ng 2007-2009.
Kami nagpaprint sa banko ng bank statement, it cost us almost php40k para mapaprint. Pinagawa na lang namin kse kailangan tlga. D nga lang namin sure if meron pa bang show money kse the last time sabi ng agent namin baka kailangan pa namin non. Cguro mga php1.5M daw show money
serioso ba itong 40K na ito? wow that is a huge sum of money!! :O

wow 40k? local bank ba to? kakahingi lang sakin recently ng bank statement showing yung payroll credits from 2009-2012..pero at least 4 per year lang daw ang kailangan. so nagrequest ako from bank pero hindi buong 2009-2012 kasi mahal aabutin (php100 - first 3 pages, php10 each succeeding page). nagspecify lang ako ng certain periods para mabuo ko yung 4 samples a year...in the end php170 lang yung na-charge sakin (10 pages).

whoa! sang banko yan? 40k pesos?

oo nga watdaheck.. baka naman 4k lang, baka nagkamali lang si @gerrymontano..
Tinatapon lng po ksi namin yun mga monthly statements namin kaya kelangan namin magrequest sa POSB bank. 20sgd per statement per month for last 12 months, 30 sgd per statement per month for 13th to 24th month and so on.. kaya po umabot ng ganun kamahal.. nagpa-assist na lng po kami sa isang staff na baka pde babaan so nababaan naman po ng konti..

yan problema ko rin, wala nko bank statement ng 2010, $30 per statement nga daw. Although may ITR ako at payslip, pki-usapan ko n lng yung CO ko.

gerrymontano · October 2012

@LittleBoyBlue yan den exactly sinabi namin sa agent namin, kase naipasa na namin yung payslips ko before. Sabi ng migration agent gusto daw makita ni CO na pumasok talaga yung amount sa payslips ko sa banko mismo.

263111 70 points (75 with Vic ss)
Invited August 14, lodged August 16 (GMT+10). Still no Acknowledgment Letter from DIAC (

@Metaform - you were the first to respond to this thread I start around 40 days ago... Look where you are now mate!

Again congratulation!!

TasBurrfoot · October 2012

New invites will be released in less than 36 hours... All the best to everyone especially those lining up with 60pts!

TasBurrfoot · October 2012

Anyone who got invites here?

A bloke from the other thread got 1 and his points was 60 lodged last 13th July...

eischied_21 · October 2012

May mga questions po ako while reading this thread.

1. If ever pala na wala na yun payslips nyo pwede magrequest ng bank certificate sa payroll bank ng company to certify the amount you receive monthly from your company?
2. Akala ko kaya kelangan ng ITR, payslip is to prove that you have worked in that company. Yun pala yun salary na nakalagay sa COE mo ang chinecheck. Papano kun ang salary na nakalagay sa COE mo is yun starting salary mo, hindi yun last salary mo? Ok lang kaya to?
3. Kelangan ba ng show money?

lock_code2004 · October 2012

@eischied_21

1. yes may mga gumawa na nyan dito..
2. pareho lang na pwede ITR and/or bank statement.. ako nagsubmit ng ITR at payslip.. pero hindi bank statement.. okay nmn.. so ang kailangan lang talga ng CO is other proof... kung may payslip ka at ITR okay na yun.. kung wala ka nmn payslip pero may ITR, pwede na rin as long as merong salary dun sa COE mo.. it just a matter of making your claim more believable about your salary and work..
3. some states will ask you to declare certain amount of money.. kasi nga pagdating mo dun wala ka pang social benefits.. so this is to make sure na may panggastos ka... declaring in the application form is different from showing proof ..
- nagtry ako magapply sa mga states dati.. nasa form nila yan, how much ang pera mo?
- pero pag na-approve na ang SS+visa mo, sabi ng iba dito...hindi naman sila nagchecheck or nanghihingi ng proof

faa317 · October 2012

saintluke · October 2012

Thanks @legato09!

I hope naka receive na din yung iba. Hehe nakaka tense ang maghintay ng invite.

Maraming salamat sa forum na ito!

wisha · October 2012

Hi! I tried to submit my EOI this month because I read that they are giving invites to those who have 65 points. So now, I got my invite

eischied_21 · October 2012

@eischied_21

Hi lock_code2004, may follow up question po ako

2. pareho lang na pwede ITR and/or bank statement.. ako nagsubmit ng ITR at payslip.. pero hindi bank statement.. okay nmn.. so ang kailangan lang talga ng CO is other proof... kung may payslip ka at ITR okay na yun.. kung wala ka nmn payslip pero may ITR, pwede na rin as long as merong salary dun sa COE mo.. it just a matter of making your claim more believable about your salary and work..

*** Papano kaya yun sa salary sa COE ko, hindi nagmatch sa ITR ko. Hindi na rin kasi vinerify ng HR. Mukang nag-sign lang kagad dun sa draft na binigay ko. Pero sa mga susunod na COE na irerequest ko, ano po ba sa tingin nyo na kelangan ilagay dun sa salary, starting or before leaving the company? From my point of view, siguro mas gusto ko ilagay yun starting salary para in-reference na din sa employment contract kasi dba nakalagay yun salary mo dun. Plan ko kasi ibigay din yun employment contract as proof.

Sa 2nd and present company kasi, walang payslip na binibigay. Yun ITR itatanong ko pa kun makakakuha ako sa counterpart ng BIR nila dito.

3. some states will ask you to declare certain amount of money.. kasi nga pagdating mo dun wala ka pang social benefits.. so this is to make sure na may panggastos ka... declaring in the application form is different from showing proof ..
- nagtry ako magapply sa mga states dati.. nasa form nila yan, how much ang pera mo?
- pero pag na-approve na ang SS+visa mo, sabi ng iba dito...hindi naman sila nagchecheck or nanghihingi ng proof

*** Any estimate on how much kaya? More than 500K PHP kaya? Naku, sana hindi wala akong ganitong amount hehe

legato09 · October 2012

Hi! I tried to submit my EOI this month because I read that they are giving invites to those who have 65 points. So now, I got my invite

Congrats po!!!

They have considered your IELTS result po? IELTS 2nd take (L8 R9 S6.5 W7.5) this gives hope para dun sa mga 6.5 sa Speaking....

wisha · October 2012

@legato09 Thanks! Yes, I have 65 points even I did not get all 7 in IELTS. I just hoped to be invited that's why I submitted my EOI. Luckily, I got an invitation

killerbee · October 2012

base on your timeline you already have 65 points before July 2012 tama po ba? bakit po hinintay nyo pa po ang EOI implementation? you could have lodge directly to DIAC during those times already.

@legato09 Thanks! Yes, I have 65 points even I did not get all 7 in IELTS. I just hoped to be invited that's why I submitted my EOI. Luckily, I got an invitation

wisha · October 2012

Nagchange yung point system. 60 points lang ako dati. I was planning to apply for NSW State Sponsorship back then para mabilis makakuha ng visa (1 month lang daw kasi pag NWS SS) pero di ko maachieve yung all 7 sa IELTS. Naghibernate na lang muna AU dream ko for several months :P

hehehe, pardon me for being makulit...

as far as i know, DIAC did changed the minimum required points from 65 to 60 but the counting of points awarded are the same.. sabi nyo po dati 60 points lang kayo pero ngaun ay 65 na, pano po nangyari yun?

there are only 2 possibilities that i could think of - one is yung experience nyo po, it is possible that you reached 8 experience during this span time that's why you have additional 5 points awarded, the other is your IELTS but base on your timeline parang parehas lang naman po..

lock_code2004 · October 2012

@wisha congrats... your wisha is now granted...;)

ANS: mostly ang nilalagay sa salary cert is ung latest.. wag ka masyadong mag-freak out masyado..

relak lang.. alam naman nila na hindi mag match ang contract salary versus current salary dahil naturally eh may increment naman ( performance raise or na promote)

for 2nd company, kung walang payslip, kailangan may other proof ka if ever humingi ang CO.. ung nga ITR, or kung meron bank statements..

3. some states will ask you to declare certain amount of money.. kasi nga pagdating mo dun wala ka pang social benefits.. so this is to make sure na may panggastos ka... declaring in the application form is different from showing proof ..

*** Any estimate on how much kaya? More than 500K PHP kaya? Naku, sana hindi wala akong ganitong amount hehe

ANS: ang alam ko approx 25KAUD for the primary applicant and then additional 10KAUD for each secondary applicant. So kung kung ikaw+spouse+1kid = 45KAUD..

eischied_21 · October 2012

Yup, relak lang ako

. Ayoko na kasi humingi na naman ng bagong COE. Sobrang kinapalan ko na lang ng muka yun pagrequest talaga

Ang laki pala ng kelangan i-declare sa application form at wala pa sa 25KAUD ang savings ko. 500K PHP nga wala, 25AUD pa hehe

. Thanks for the heads up lock_code2004.

Metaform · October 2012

@wisha Impressive. And to think kailan mo lang sinubmit ang EOI mo. You got the invite on the same month. Good on you.

killerbee · October 2012

tanong naman po sa mga nakareceive na invitation at nakapag-lodged ng EOI Application after, base sa mga nabasa ko sa thread na to, eto ung mga documents na kailangan:

Required:
- Basic ID (passport, id picture, birth certificate)
- IELTS (Test Result Form)
- Skills Assessment Result (positive)
- Diploma with TOR
- COE for the past 10 years or so (must be detailed same as skill assessment?)

Additional documents (good to have immediately even without CO)
- proof of employment - 1 Payslip per year, ITR per year
- other proof of employment - Employment contracts

Questions:
1. Aside from these documents, did I missed anything?
2. Are these applicable only to the Main applicant or including dependent (i.e. spouse)?
3. In the skills assessment, I have submitted the documents as a CTC (softcopy and hardcopy), same rules apply for DIAC pero only softcopy na lang di po ba?

maraming salamat

Ayaw ko namang maging party-pooper, pero idagdag ko lang, yung isang common mistake sa EOI eh yung Australia Education Qualification, ang ibig sabihin kasi nung question na yun eh kung nakapag-aral ka sa Australia (different from qualification mo from PH).

Marami-rami nagkamali dun sa tanong na yun, nag-tataka din ako nun bakit ako bigla nagka-extra 5 pts (70 lang dapat naging 75) then buti nahanap namin nung kaibigan ko kung ano yung mali, which is yung tanong about Australia Education nga. (15 points if you have bachelors degree qualification plus 5 points more kung nakapag-aral ka sa AU).

LittleBoyBlue · October 2012

Ito yung tanong na marami nagkakamali - Does the client meet the Australian study requirements for the Skilled Migration points test? Kung di ka nag-aral sa AU, dapat 'No' sagot mo dyan.

actually, I have experienced the same thing.. nagtataka ako nung nagsubmit ako ng EOI bakit 65 points ako eh ang alam ko dapat 60 points lang.. so inupdate ko ule ung EOI at hinahanap ung mali at yun nga yung Australia Education Qualification.

this is the reason that i was asking din kasi may chance ka talaga magkamali sa pagsubmit ng EOI at once you received an invitation sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi na ito pwedeng mabago at whatever you declare in it, kailangan iprove mo lahat upon lodging sa DIAC. hope this is not the case sa ating kababayan.

Same tayo ng binigay, except yung payslip ang hiningi ng CO ko eh maximum 4 per year (just enough to have good sample for that year).

If you can prepare for police clearance early, mas maganda, inayos ko kagad NBI ko once naka-receive ako invite. Nag-hihintay na lang ako ng result ng police clearance ko dito sa SG.
