Sorry, a bit nervous lang at impatience na din from our part ng GF ko kasi yung cost for the visa is malaki talaga.
Thank you po ulit.

Othes waited a year pa bago nagkagrant. If you follow the September thread, marami run mga early this year pa naglodge. Make yourselves busy para magulat nalang kayo pag nag-email na sila.

may naka-experience po ba dito na maglodge ng visa tapos yung mga documents na ni-submit ay may inconsistency sa name nila?
kasi yung sakin.. for example sa birth cert ko, yung "Jr." nasa tabi ng Last Name ko pero the rest ng IDs ko like passport nasa First Name na kasi yun yung format ng gov't.
tapos yung ACS assessment letter ko kasi walang tilde yung 'n' (ñ) ko sa Last Name. huhu. kasi di daw nila supported yung character na yun. huhu.
hirap magkaroon ng name na tulad ng sakin. haha.

Just want to know your experience... I have a B.S. ECE and I graduated from Mapua. Does this qualify me 15 points dun sa section for Education, specifically "A Bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or a Bachelor qualification, from another educational institution that is of a recognised standard.".
Or mag fafall lang ako under sa "An award or qualification recognised by the relevant assessing authority for your nominated skilled occupation." which is 10 points?
Maraming salamat!
