    My respect & salute to all who shared their time & idea & experience here. Congrats sa inyo na may grant na, especially those na DG.
    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!

    hi @AIR , im assuming you're in lodgement stage already. usually ang pinapasa nalang is kung ano yung pinasa nyo sa assessing body nung nagpaassess kayo. Now as additional, pwede rin magprovide ng sss contrib as proof kung hindi complete ang payslips.. i don't think dibp will assess those that aren't related to your nominated skill..

    a year from now, you will wish you had started today

    Re-posting. This might explain reason of processing delay.

    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.

    @eujin yes preparing for visa lodgement. Copy that.
    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 ;)

    @AIR , ah related parin sa nominated mo yung almost 3yrs as per ACS' assessment..?
    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

    @PMPdreamer Based on my experience, sa Nationwide Cebu, after 4 days nakuha namin print out ng result at the same time they updated MyHealthDeclaration of the result na directly updated na din sa ImmiAccount.

    Pag wala yatang bata na kasama mas maigsi ang waiting time ng result, kasi may Tubercullin Skin Test para sa mga bata na d applicable ang XRay...

    para sa printout, iniupload ko na din sya sa Immiaccount ko under Health Declaration.


    hope this helps.

    @PMPdreamer mine took 4 days.
    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.

    @BLOODYODIP hello. I suggest both sydney and melbourne esp if you're still undecided where you will settle down. at least meron kayaong idea san nyo mas feel. Mararamdaman nyo naman un pag andun na kyo sa place. Kaya ung both places in 1 week :)

    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 :)
