Ask ko lng po:
1. About payslips na as evidence of paid employment, is it necessary na yung first and last month of employment ang i-attach? Yung last month ko kasi nagleave without pay na ako to comply my papers sa next employment ko, do I need to secure another certification from the HR about it?
2. In my EOI, 4 yung employments ko, 1 is not related, do I need to provide payslips dun sa not related?
3. In my assessment, may 2 employments pa ako (na 12-13 years ago na, di ko na nilagay sa EOI kasi in the past 10 years lng ang nkaindicate), do I also need to provide evidence of paid employment?
Maraming salamat po, may God reward your good heart.
...and all the time, God is good!

Visa Wait Times to Increase Following DIBP Staff Cuts
The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has confirmed that wait times for Australian visas and citizenship applications are only going to worsen, thanks to hundreds of staff cuts, a massive spike in the number of lodgements being made, and the ongoing shift to greater automation.

So confirm ko lang, magProvide ako ng evidence as lahat ng na-include sa ACS assessment ko except dun sa not related. Yung EOI ko kasi yung last 10 years lang ang na-include ko, but in my ACS assessment may actual 13 yrs na na-include (so yung 2 employments ko na almost 3 yrs, since more than 10 yrs in the past na, di ko na nilagay sa EOI).
Copy. Many thanks. Positive lang tayo lahat!!!
Salamat po sa info. May the Good Lord reward your good heart

im in no position to tell how dibp assess, hmm..
pero as i've read here, you only provide evidence if your claiming points for that.. and since yung 10yrs lang yung nasa EOI mo,, i think your case should be fine.. icocross check lang naman nila sa acs assessment kung related talaga yung dineclare mo sa EOI .. its just a matter of making your claim stronger by giving them more evidence..
just make sure na lahat ng kineclaim mong points may evidence ka.. to avoid overclaim.. good luck..
a year from now, you will wish you had started today

They upload directly to DIBP. In my case, pumunta ako on the fourth day and asked for a copy of the results. Binigyan nmn ako results ng urine and blood test.

Here are my suggestions:
Melbourne
Great ocean road/12 apostles - 1 day. You can book pagdating na dun sa mga travel agency. Madami along flinder's street
Melbourne zoo - half day
City tour via City circle tram (free) - half day
St kilda beach (optional)
Where to stay: Along Flinder's street
Sydney
Opera house & Harbour bridge - half day
Botanic garden - half day
Sea life aquarium - half day
City tour - half day
Blue mountains - 1 day
Bondi beach (optional)
Where to stay: Potts Point
Suggested route:
SG to Melbourne via Jetstar (direct flight) or AirAsia (1 stop)
Melbourne to Sydney via Tigerair (1.5hrs) or Jetstar (1.5hrs)
Sydney to SG via scoot (direct flight) or airasia (1 stop)
Hindi naman lahat ng resto sa sydney mahal. Meron mga resto sa chinatown malapit sa CBD na mura lang ang food. If you want mas makamura pa may food din sa supermarket like Coles and Woolsworth. Pede dun bumili ng bread, spread, fruits, cereals etc for breakast. Meron din silang roast chicken so pedeng ganun na lang bilhin for dinner tas ung rice bili na lang sa 7-11.hehe
Mura lang ang flights within states of Oz. Ung Melb to Syd less than php3k lang one way. Ung cbd sa sydney pede lakarin papuntang harbour bridge and opera house pero mejo malayo kaya dapat comfy ung shoes meron mga maps available sa airport. Kuha lang kyo sa stand.
From melbourne airport, pede mag mrt. From sydney airport, meron mga shuttle na mas mura ung bayad kesa taxi. Sa melbourne meron free tram around the city unlimited ride. Sa sydney meron mga bus and train pero mejo confusing ang train nila. Hindi ko gets ung train system nila.hehe
God bless sa inyo
