    Congrats @contessa & @JCArenas !

    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. :)

    @clj2012 hello, nag attached ako recently ng ng BIR 2017 ko. I don't think related yung last upload ng document sa lodgement. I saw one situation na kakaupload pa lang nya ng pcc nya, the next day granted na. Talagang dapat complete docs ka, before mapickup yung application mo.

    @jazmyne18 tama, darating din Yung Kay Heprex..:) napaisip din kasi ako, from lodgement namin last Dec. 21, till now, nag attach pa kami, inihabol namin yung ITR, then nanghingi kami ng screenshots ng mga na upload ng agent, may kulang sa nai aattach si agent, ka frustrate lang kasi, from Dec. 22 pa namin nabigay yung lahat buti napansin namin, dalawa kulang, bank statement and other employment evidence. Pag nagtanong pa kami about sa status sa immiaccount, like medical ba namin is no action required ba status, ang sagot ba naman is case officer will contact daw if may needed pa, then sinabi ko na iniiwasan sana namin ma CO contact at base sa nakikita namin matagal uli balikan pag na CO contact, sagot uli di daw lahat ng nababasa namin is tama..nako, sobrang pilosopo, napakabait ng una, after namin ma fully paid, halos wala na paki..sobrang kumpleto mga details namin, pero sila pa nagkakamali pati pag fill up ng application namin, kulang kulang pa dati.. kaya minsan napapaisip kami tama ba na nag agent pa kami, kasi very limited lang help nila, di pa kami makakuha info agad agad..sensya na po, naghinga lang ng frustrations, para kasi wala silang sense of urgency..pati required documents matagal na namin hinihingi nung nag aantay pa lang ng invites, Sabi din we will let you know once ma invite kaya ayun, recently lang nakakuha ng ITR at bank statements, buti nalang nababasa namin dito na hinihingi yon as evidence of employment..Salamat uli, stressful talaga mag antay, :( Good luck to all

    @clj2012 siguro kasi sa pananaw nila, regardless if DG ka or ma-CO contact muna before grant as long as grant ka sa dulo. Kaya hinihintay nila kung ano ang sasabihin ng CO na mga dapat pang ipasa. Monitor mo nalang din mga pinaupload mo since sabi mo fully paid na kayo so parang no choice ka kundi tanggapin ung decision mo. Goodluck! :)

    mga sir/mam, question po, nainvite na po kasi bf ko for visa 190, 70 points po kasi bf ko. non pro rata ang occupation.
    kaso may bayad po pala ang visa 190 sa nsw na 300 aud. sa visa 189 po ba may bayad dn?
    di po alam ng bf ko if itutuloy nya ung 190 sa nsw or mghhntay nlng for visa 189 kaso wala naman kasiguraduhan
    na magiinvite na ang DIBP sa 189 this coming round. december pa po sya nagpasa ng EOI sa 189 at 190.
    any suggestions po?

    @anamarie yup may fee ang NSW majority naman yata ng state sponship may fee. Walang fee ang 189. Discretion nyo pa rin.. nag mamadali ba ang bf mo? I mean me instances ba na magpapababa ng points nya? Like magbibirthday (less 5 points). Kasi decent points ang 70 (although ambagal ng invites ngaun) so I reckon hindi man sya mainvite next round, maiinvite naman sya for sure before the new fiscal year (july 1, 2018). Pero kung nagmamadali sya. I'd rather grab the NSW 190 ITA..

    @clj2012 same observation based sa mga nakakausap ko na nag agent. disappointing at frustrating yun strategy nila na maghihintay ng CO contact. para ano pa ginagawa ng checklist ng documents na ipapasa? don't tell me it's their first time to lodge for a client. for me if yun case mo naman is straight forward at wala naman talagang magiging problema, i'd rather do the application on my own.

    @anamarie if your bf really want to wait for 189, pwede naman, although state invitations have an expiration, so aware lang kayo sa deadline ng pag file para sa state sponsorship.

    hello po. just like to ask baka may similar situation po sa amin.

    yung son ko po is currently undertaking TB meds until May. nagkapag lodge narin po kami ng visa and health docs last October. sa kanya nalang ang inaantay namin.

    Q1: CO contact po ba is pag naging *Completed* na yung health assessment nya? currently nakalagay is *Examinations in progress*
    Q2: Last email po namin is *IMMI Assessment Commence*. considered as CO contact napo ba yun? di po kasi namin alam kung magfall pa ba sya CO contact or DG.

    Salamat po :)

    @clj2012 Hi, kmi din nka agency pero ako nag control ng uploading, nung una sila since alam ko nman ang login at password sa immiaccount so ako na nag control para mkita ko din in detailed lahat. Tpos pag meron akong gustong idadag ako narin gumagawa kaysa ipasa ko sa kanila kc days pa aabutin nun bago ma frontload unless push mo tlga sila. Kaya ngayn hindi ko na sila storbo alam kong dami din silang client since alam ko nman panu gawin ako nlng gumagawa. Ang sister inlaw ko nga di sila nag agency na DG sila naisip ko tuloy madali lng pla sana di na kmi nag agency syang pa ang pera... anyways, nan dyan na yan try nyo nlng maging hands on kung puwede.Same tyo lahat dito iniiwasan ma CO contact kaya tlgang lahat ng puwedeng ipasa pinapasa. Ganyan din agent namin pag may tanong ako na baka need ito hindi na raw kailangan nun at mag request nman daw ang CO kung kailangan ipasa! kainis db bat need pang intayin ang ma CO kung obvious na impt un ilagay. Since then nag lodged kmi nung Dec 22 then after xmas ako na lahat nag patuloy ng frontloading. Atleast confident ka nakikita mi lahat at nan dun nman ang guide kung anong documents ang kailangan i-frontload. Good luck sa ating lahat!

    @kaidenMVH ganon yata sila talaga, di pa kasi namin alam pinoyau nung nag start kami sa agent.. then after mag positive sa skills assessment, pinag bayad na kami ng full kaya napilitan na kami na ituloy knowing na matutulungan nya kami, mas marami pa kami natutunan dito sa pinoyau, nagba back read kami ni husband dito. after ko mag IELTS which I got 10 points and total of 65pts for internal auditor di manlang kami sabihan na di pala na iinvite sa IA ang nasa 65, baka abutin ng taon, buti nakita namin dito na pataasin pts by taking PTE, then wala din suggestion about visa 190, 2 weeks daw ma invite na kami for 189 ayun inabot pa kami 4 months bago na invite..this is just my experience sa agent, I'm sure marami din na maayos at may malasakit sa mga clients nila, nataon lang sa amin medyo kulang ang good customer service/consultation skills..thanks
