    @toperthug nice! Hope u'll complete all your docs soon.

    Occupation: 233214 (Structural Engineer)

    POINTS BREAKDOWN:
    Educ: 15 (Degree)
    Work Experience: 10 (5+ yrs)
    Language Skills: 10 (PTE-Proficient)
    Age: 30 points
    Total: 65 Points

    APPLICATION TIMELINE:

    04/03/17 - IELTS R6.5 W6.5 S7.5 L8.5 Good enough for EA Assessment (>6 each category). Haha. Self-review and not much time to practice kaya mababa scores. Haha. (Cge justify!). I think ang mali ko is nagfocus ako magreview ng Speaking and Listening.
    Note: Hindi pa acceptable ang PTE sa EA at this moment.

    24/04/17 - Submitted my application to EA.

    25/05/17 - EA requested for additional evidence of employment. I initially submitted Income Tax Return from my 2 employers so supposed to be enough. But since they requested more I uploaded my payslips then.

    15/06/17 - Finally! Received positive outcome from EA. Yuhoo!

    (Since not enough pa din IELTS english points ko to get total points higher than 60 requirement for Visa, i took another exam from PTE. Sabi nila mas madali daw kesa IELTS. Eh di Go! Tsaka sayang din yung score ko sa IELTS-Speaking baka bumaba pa. Haha)

    03/07/17 - Took PTE Exam. Hindi Madali!!! Haha. Siguro kulang ulit sa practice. Lol. I wasn't expecting na makapasa kasi may part sa lecture na wala akong nasabi. Haha. Pero yun, naka-74 ave. pa din. I therefore conclude na lenient talaga sila magscore. Hahaha. PTE Scores: L73, R71, S78, W83 (Results are out the next day)

    05/07/17 - Submitted EOI 189. Start ng fiscal year so everyone's expecting ng buhos ng invitation. Tan-tanan! Haha.

    10/08/17 - Super tagal ng invitation! Daming bad news (nag-cut ng staff ang dibp, processing time updated from 3 months, na naging 7 months then naging 11 months) Sa inip nagpasa ng EOI 190 for NSW. Dito lang pwede structural engr mag-EOI na walang show money eh. Haha. Sana pala Civil Engineer na lang occupation na pinili ko.

    06/09/17 - I got invited this round! Since ang tagal nga di ako nag-eexpect na kasama ako. Pero yehey! So I scheduled immediately for COC-Eappeal here in sg. Nagsked na din for medical (SATA Online).

    11/09/17 - SPF notified me that my e-appeal was approved. So I set appointment for fingerprinting. Got my COC on 15-Sep.

    16/09/17 - I am expecting to have my health exam. But decided to call SATA (the clinic) first to confirm my booking. They said they do not accept booking thru online. #Haist. The next available weekend dates are on the week after.

    23/09/17 - Had my Health Exam at SATA Ang Mo Kio. Results came out after 1 working day only.

    25/09/17 - Finally I LODGED MY VISA!!! Yuhoo ulit. I submitted all docs na pwede i-submit hoping for DG, hehe. (Forms 80 and 1221 included) Iniisip ko pa actually ano pa pwede ko i-add. haha.

    30/09/17 - Habang nag-aantay ng grant, mag-analyze muna ako. hehe.

    As per myimmitracker, below are the nos. of grants (For 189 lang ha) for the past 3 months:

    July : 29 grants
    Aug: 86 grants
    Sep: 611 grants.
    Mabilis nag-escalate ang nos from aug-sep. So I think nagsisimula na sila magmadali starting Sep. So Oct will also be the same. May quota kasi sila need mainvite per occupation kaya dapat maghabol talaga sila. So I am expecting showers of grants for the month of Oct. "Expecting". haha.

    God bless sa mga kasama kong nag-eexpect ng grant! and sa mga
    waiting for ITA next week na ang invitation round. All the best sating lahat! Power!!

    10/11/17 - Finally! Praise God! While busy working i accidentally opened my email and saw the new message from border.gov.au. Nanginig akong bigla sa tuwa. haha. I was supposed not to tell it yet to my family para surprise but I cannot contain it. Overjoyed feeling once mareceive mo ang iyong grant.

    God bless to the rest na nag-aapply pa lang and sa lahat ng waiting ng grants nila. Darating din yan at God's appointed time. :)

    cacophony said:

    @dy3p thanks po. Pwede na po ba ako kumuha ng NBI while waiting for ITA? I believe yung medical should be done after ITA tama po ba?

    @cacophony Pwede naman ng kumuha NBI even before ka pa mag EOI. As long as its valid then there shouldn't be any problems. Medicals as well. Pwede rin ahead of time as long as valid talaga sila. Yung iba din, they wait for CO contacts before doing the medical. Yung medical namen was done last April. Thats before the EOI, ITA and visa lodgement.
    Noted po. I guess unahin ko muna yung NBI + Form 80. Medical after ITA. Question lang po, dun po sa english attachment sa Immi, yung PTE-A lang po ba i-attach ko? Yung IELTS na pinasa ko po kasi sa EA could not claim extra 10 points kasi may 6.5 po ako. Second, paano po makaka-affect sa IED yung early medical? Dahil po ba sa expiration na 1 year lang? How many months po usually yung IED prior to visa grant? Lastly, how long po naglalast yung invitation round? Say this coming October 3rd starts at 10 PM up until?

    @cacophony Kahit siguro yung NBI mejo idelay nyo ng konti. Actually, pwede naman na din ngayon. hehe Ganito po kasi sa pagkakaintindi ko. Yung initial entry date is determined by the validity left on your medicals/ police check. Whichever comes first. Both of which are only valid for 12 months if from PH (May mga PCC po kasi na 3 months or 6 months lang ang validity). So for example po, today the visa is granted and you did medicals 6 months ago and police checks 9 months ago you will have 3 months to enter as the police check will expire first. Pwede naman din mag enter lang sa Australia just to activate the visa, then labas ulit. Kahit same day lang. Then balik nalang ulit later on, within 5 years. About the invitations naman, I'm not so sure. However it is normally 12 midnight Sydney time. I got mines around 12:02 AM.

    @cacophony If you’re going to use your PTE-A to claim extra points, update your EOI. Don’t worry about your IELTS being submitted to EA.

    Invitation round happens every second Wednesday at 12am AEST (Tuesday, 10pm PH time). All invited are emailed/notified simultaneously, just give 30 minutes to ensure invitation round has been completed. Let’s say wait until 12.30am AEST.

    IED is usually determined by the earliest expiry of one of your PCCs. PCC is valid for 12 months according to DIBP.
