May tanong po ako about sa settings ng EOI.
Nakapag submit na po ako ng ACS and favorable naman po yung result.
Meron po ako work dati na irrelevant sa nominated skill ko and hindi ko na cya diniclare sa ACS. Bali concurrent job ko po cya during that time.
Ask ko lang po, need ko po ba ideclare ito pag mag file na ko ng EOI and mark ko nalang as unclaimed? no issues po ba kung naka declare cya sa EOI pero di ko isinama sa ACS?
Easy way out po sana is di ko nalang cya ideclare. However, nung nag apply ako noon ng tourist Visa sa Australia, kasama cya sa sinend ko na COE, so, possible na may record sila nito.
So to summarize,
1. Need ko po ba ideclare sa EOI yung work ko na hindi ko dineclare sa ACS?
2. Wala po bang issue kung mapansin nila na wala sa ACS pero nasa EOI?
Tenchusomuch.
