@filsgoz sir, nagpa-assess po ako sa TRA as chef which is my trade course,and successful naman daw po yung assessment,they sent the certificate already. But i also claimed points for my bachelor's degree in saint louis university baguio. im just thinking about my application kung may points po yung SLU bachelor's ko against the AQF.
the waiting game for a grant is a killer haha *worried

@melgB nagclaim ka ng bachelor degree sa course na di mo pinaassess? anong stage ka na sa visa process?

Hunter_08 · August 2017

@dorbsdee oo pwede ka na mag draft ng visa application... ganun yung ginawa ko para pag ready na lahat ng reqs. submit na lang ako ng application.

nehalem · August 2017

@glennb una po siguro estimate nyo points nyo then choose nyo po skills occupation nyo doon nyo madedermine kung saan magpapaassess ng skills.

Hello! Question lang guys.

I recently transferred to a new company(relevant to applied occupation) this week. Nag EOI ako last May 31 pa (waiting for ITA). I believe this means i have to update my EOI with 2 things: 1. Set the end date for my previous company, 2. Include new company details. Needed ba talaga yung #2? Relevant occupation sya pero hindi pa ko nakaka 1 year.

Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot! >-

up ko lang po sana to, need your inputs po

Thank you!

@MissOZdreamer 2335 lng yata

melgB · August 2017

@engineer20 yes sir sa trades recognition australia po ako nagpa assess for my application as chef, may case officer na po sir and nagpa submit po sila ng documents which i submitted last month

engineer20 · August 2017

@melgB ok. kasi sa TRA di sila nagaassess kung bachelor degree equivalent ang course kaya yung iba nagpapaassess ng qualification sa vetassess para makapagclaim ng 15 points sa education.

cheesyfiona · August 2017

@chuckiebhoi #1 yes #2 I think it's in good faith to just disclose your new job, tas mark it na lang muna as not claiming points for it. Kasi if you will be using the new job din for additional points (para umabot sa 5 years, according sa timeline mo), make sure lang po na makaka request ka ng documents sa bagong company.

Heprex · August 2017

@melgB Hello, I agree with @engineer20 . Tingin ko skills lang ina-assess ni TRA. Nag-claim ka ng bachelors sa degree mo without Vetassess PTA?

chuckiebhoi · August 2017

@cheesyfiona thank you and congrats sa ITA ni fiance! nakita ko timeline mo at napaisip ako magPTE-A kasi naka-additional 10pts kayo dun (kaso walang PTE-A dito sa Qatar. huhu). based on my IELTS scores, mukang may chance pa ko madagdagan. Else, hintayin ko na lang na mainvite mga 60 pointers sa EOI.. hehehe..

cheesyfiona · August 2017

Hi everyone, hope someone can help us with a couple of questions...

1) Was checking the ImmiAccount questions kanina for lodging the visas (dependent po ako ng 189 applicant), hoping to get to the documents uploading section. Kaso umabot na sa "Submit Now," pero di pa rin nag uupload ng documents. My question is, when do you upload the docs, after payment? And if so, until when ka pwede mag add ng documents sa ImmiAccount? (Di ko pa click yung "Submit Now" kasi magpapamedical pa muna sana kami)

2) We got married last week and got the ITA on Aug 23rd, my passport's still in my maiden name, and hindi aabot sa 2 months deadline to lodge the visa kung magpapa update pa ko ng passport. (No thanks to super bagal na processing na NSO and DFA) Has anyone tried using the "Other names" to indicate your married name tas mag add na lang ng new passport later on?

Thanks in advance!

Heprex · August 2017

@cheesyfiona Hello, try ko masagot. Heheh kahit wala pa ako sa stage na yan, may mga nababasa ako dito.

1. Sa pag kakatanda ko, after payment ang upload ng mga documents. Eto mga nasa checklist ko:

Primary:

1. Birth Certificate
2. Passport Data Page
3. Work References (COE - Detailed)
4. TOR
5. Diploma
6. Marriage Certificate
7. PTE Academic Result/IELTS
8. Payslips (Try to provide at least 3 per year)
9. Tax Assessments (Latest)
10. NBI Clearance
11. SG Police Clearance -> if may SG exp
12. e-Medical sheet
13. Form 80
14. Form 1221
15. CV
16. Passport Size Photo ID
17. SSS Static Info and Contribution (If wala na payslip maipakita)
18. Bank Statement (Last 3 months, Optional)

Secondary:

1. Birth Certificate
2. Passport Data Page
3. Marriage Certificate
4. Certificate of English as Medium of Instruction (CEMI)
5. TOR
6. NBI Clearance
7. SG Police Clearance -> if may SG exp
8. e-Medical sheet
9. Form 80
10. Form 1221
11. CV
12. Passport Size Photo ID

---mga documents yan na ina-upload ng mga na Direct Grant, just make sure na yung PTE result nyo is sent sa DIBP via pearson website.

2. I think no issues kahit maiden name mo ang gamitin, maraming akong nabasa dito na di nag palit ng surname, or maiden name parin ang passport pero OKAY naman silang lahat, mga nasa australia na, naiwan na ako (hugot). hahahah Sa marriage cert naman, tingin ko okay na yung Local civil registrar copy ata yun. ipa-CTC na lang para sure. Naka declare ba sa EOI nyo is married na bago kayo nainvite?

Or kung gusto nyo NSO copy na, punta kayo sa local registrar nyo, ipa-rush nyo, sa pag kaka-alala ko bibigyan kayo ng endorsement letter, para sa NSO.

hope this helps.

cheesyfiona · August 2017

@Heprex Thank you! Yikes oo nga nalimutan ko pala na baka hingian ako ng TOR as dependent, naisip ko lang kasi CEMI. Yes, nakapag update kami ng status to "married" a week before ITA so parang mas naging confusing for me ngayon kung pano gagawin sa name ko. Saaaad!

Iniisip ko kasi yung details ko, according to current passport (maiden), tas may option to indicate other names you are known by, with a dropdown ng 'reason' for alternate name. Meron namang about before/after marriage. Thanks though, will sort through some threads din :-)

Heprex · August 2017

@cheesyfiona sama mo na din pala pati Diploma.

maiii · August 2017

@cheesyfiona If I were you, gamitin mo muna ang maiden name mo. Then, pag may PR grant na, apply ka for new passport for name change. Kapag may new passport na, submit ka ng Form 929 sa DIBP para update mo yung name mo sa system nila. Wag mo muna iworry ang surname ng husband mo. As long as you declared that you are married and as long as it is supported by your marriage cert, you'll be safe.

cheesyfiona · August 2017

@maiii Thank you, I'm considering that too because of what I read here, ang worry ko lang is because nag adjust yung Global Processing Time sa website, parang if abutin kami ng 15mos before ma-grant, malamang sa maexpire na din yung passport ko. Right now naghahanap pa kami ng way to be expedited sa DFA appointment, but if hindi talaga ako maka renew, I'll take my chances na din siguro with maiden name passport until the end of its validity.

@Heprex Thanks! Umpisahan ko nang maghagilap or mag request ulit ng copy sa school

glennb · August 2017

Goodpm mga sirs..im an electrical engineer. Kunin ko po sanang job code is pang electrician lang or any other technician job. Pag ka ganyan po ba need ko pa rin ba gumawa ng career episodes?.

raquel13 · August 2017

Hi sir @glennb, if electrical engineering technician po ang ipapa-assess nyo i think no need n po ng career episodes. TRA po ang assessing body for electrical engineering tech. Just read n lng po sa TRA site for the requirements.

P.s. My brother-in-law had the same occupation and got his ITA within 2weeks with 60points. Hope this helps.

kubera · August 2017

@Heprex napansin ko walang employment contract sa list mo

dorbsdee · August 2017

@Heprex paano makakuha ng medical sheet? thanks

maiii · August 2017

Hi! If invited na po, pwede ba kumuha muna ng HAP ID tapos lodge agad ng PR kahit later pa yung schedule ng medical exam? Let's day a week after lodgement. Ok lang po ba yan basta naisaili yunh HAP ID sa application? Thanksz

MikeYanbu · August 2017

@cheesyfiona Thats what happened to my wife,

meron na kaming visa grant lately lang nagkaroon ng bagong passport na apelyido ko...

naipadala ko na ang form 929 at email na request palitan name sa visa, almost a monthwala pa reply... january pa naman ang big move namin....

anyway pag may update na message kita...

pero as early as now mas maige...

hanggang wala pang grant mas okay na mag fill up ka na ng form 929 para sa grant mo wala ng problema sa apelyido mo...

MikeYanbu · August 2017

@maiii kabayan saan dapat mag submit ng form 929 sa GSM o sa DIBP?

kasi sa GSM ako ng nagreply same email na nag request na mag fill up ako ng form 929..

TIA

cheesyfiona · August 2017

@MikeYanbu True, I would like yo eliminate yung uncertainty like that din sana. But anyhow I saw somewhere that the department will not respond to a 929 to confirm. Check yung VEVO daw sabi nung iba, to see if amended and associated na yung new passport with the visa? Na try mo na yun?

cheesyfiona · August 2017

Medical question sa mga nakapamedical na-- gaano ka-thorough ang exam? Which of these they do:

- Chest xray
- Ultrasounds
- Blood tests
- Urine tests for diseases, HIV, drugs?
- Physical exam/inspection
- Psych
- Any other tests?

TIA
