1. What type of docs ang hiningi na follow up senyo?
2. How long does it usually take na mag respond sila after providing the requested docs?
3. May cases ba na after nila humingi ng addtl docs then na provide mo na then may hihingin pa ult sila? Or one time big time na yun?
Thanks po sa sasagot! (Sorry makulit ako, ang weird lang kasi na hiningian ako ng docs for my girlfriend na hindi ko naman kasama na mag migrate)

POINTS BREAKDOWN:

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.

1. Dun sa question na "Highest recognised qualification obtained" for my husband who's my dependent, college undergrad kasi siya. Ano ba ilalagay ko? Yung possible choices kasi are: Diploma, Senior Secondary School Certificate, or Other?
2. Tapos for my husband pa din, para naman sa question na "Has the applicant completed, or is currently enrolled in, any studies at secondary level or above?". College undergrad ng BS Pharmacy, tapos currently nagtatake siya ng BA Psychology from a different university. So ang ilalagay ko ba sa elodgement form is HS and yung current course and school niya?
Thank you po sa mga sasagot.

I need your opinion on this situation:
1. My son is legally adopted. He has a different name before we legally adopted him. In filling out his details, I check YES on Other Names/Spelling (Is this family member currently, or have they ever been known by any other names?) then my reason is "NAME before LEGALLY ADOPTED"
I have his new birth certificate with his new name and my name as his father.
My concern is, do I need to support the adoption papers? Is there a possibility that it might slow down the processing?
2. For my wife. Is this applicant currently, or have they ever been known by any other names? I checked YES. I put her maiden name. What should be the proper reason? Marriage or I will click OTHER reason and I will enter "Name before marriage"?
Thanks in advance.

I am in a kind of similar situation kaya I've been researching for that as well. Saken kasi hiningian ako ng "evidence of income" for that (2008) year na hindi ko naman cinlaim for points. I mean, kaya nga hindi nag claim for points kasi hindi na kaya i prove. Saken, what I did was just gather kung anong makukuha, may ilang payslip for that year and SSS screenshot. Wala akong ITR dahil every 5 years daw, shinishred na nila ito after an employee resigns. And like you, can't get a hold of BIR. So inattach ko nalang kung anong kaya kong iattach at nag email ako dun sa generic na email and explained. Sa last part I mentioned na hindi ako nag claim ng points for that year.

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.
