DG - Direct Grant = first CO contact requiring no other add'l doc/requirements, thus granting you a visa directly.
CO - Case Officer = the migration officer who's handling your case
BM - Big Move = target date for your permanent move in AU.
I hope this helps.

1. education - yung qualification ba dapat ang ilagay eh kung anon yung results mo sa ACS? kasi ako BSCS ako pero ni qualify lang nila as AQF diplome.
2. employment history - dapat bang ilagay ko lang yung ni assess ni ACS na pwdeng ma scoran? or dapat ba ilagay ko lahat ng employment history at sila nalang mag validate sa ACS neto?
sorry sobrang newbie sa EOI sana may makasagot... maraming salamat!
