    @mespedido yup. Lodged sep 25. CO contact nov 10.

    Ang weird ng process nila. After you lodge, you have to wait 40-50 days for a response. If they ask more documents from you, then you have to wait another 90-120 days? Shouldn’t it be mas mabilis na since they’ve already opened up your file. Weird lang hehe

    @mistykring sakin naman nahingi ng information ni gf although hnd ko naman sya sinama na dependent ko. Sabi ko nga eh pano kung di pa rin kami magkatuluyan? Haha. Nagreply na lang kami sa CO na hindi ko naman sya kasama mag migrate kung sakali eh so there’s no need for her information.

    Hi guys!

    I would like to please seek for any advice regarding my case.

    Just a background, I have lodged my Expression of Interest (EOI) in Skill Select last 05 May 2017.
    This is for my Skilled - Independent (subclass 189) (Permanent Resident) application to Australia.
    I was able to meet the points test pass mark at 65 total points (60 points is the baseline score).

    Age: 30 points
    English Language Ability: 10 points
    Education: 15 Points
    Work Experience: 10 points
    Total: 65 points

    Unfortunately, I don’t think this is enough for me to be invited to apply for a visa given the highly competitive domain for my field (Professional Engineers).
    Actually, Australia’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection already tagged my occupation for pro-rata arrangements due to increasing levels of demand.

    Please see my scores both in IELTS and PTE that only qualified me for Proficient English (10 points).

    Test: IELTS General Training (Thru British Council)
    Date: November 3, 2016
    Listening: 8.0
    Reading: 8.5
    Writing: 7.0
    Speaking: 9.0

    Test: PTE Academic
    Date: September 11, 2017
    Listening: 75
    Reading: 87
    Writing: 83
    Speaking: 90

    Given the tough competition, I believe the only way for me to secure the invite to apply for visa is to increase my over-all points.
    As all other parameters in the eligibility points are more or less fixed in my case for the time period (e.g. age, education, work experience, etc.), I can only enhance my score by improving my level of English proficiency from Proficient to Superior and gain 20 maximum points.

    When I realized that the scores being invited to apply for a visa are already ranging from 70 to 75 points, I took the PTE Academic exam to boost my over-all score as I just read in an online forum that it is supposedly easier to get higher scores in PTE against IELTS.

    As you can see from my detailed scores above, I almost reached the superior mark except for a single module in both tests (for IELTS at 7.0 for Writing and for PTE at 75 for Listening).
    Given the demands of my work, I had almost none to barely minimum preparation and review for both tests.
    I remember that I wasn’t able to finish my writing test for IELTS due to miscalculations in time management.
    As for PTE, I’m actually more comfortable with traditional pen and paper-based exam vs computer-based exam.
    I was actually bit distracted with the arrangement and set-up of PTE exam.

    With all the aforementioned details,
    1) Would you recommend that I consider taking IELTS or PTE for my next attempt to get superior score?
    2) Will there be a significant difference if I take my IELTS exam under IDP vs British Council? What do you recommend?

    I will appreciate it if you can give me any other advice so as to secure my invitation to apply for permanent resident visa to Australia.

    Thank you guys!!!
