    If you are waitng for SS, normally pag approved ng SS, within the same dAy mag iinvite na for visa application..

    Kung may active application na kayo for SS, why not contact the state and ask them if they can make the decision before your assessment expiration date..

    @malt and @ieya_oz, same problem with me. My vetassess will expire by April 3. My papers are currently awaiting SS, so no problem there. BUT....
    pag nag file na for immigrant visa (190), dun ako mabibitin.

    Have you gotten a reply for this question?

    I just sent an email to vetassess and will let you know what they say.

    According to the site:
    http://www.vetassess.com.au/migrate_to_australia/qa2_faq.cfm#38
    38. What should I do if my positive Skills Assessment is expired?
    Please contact our office via email to [email protected]. You are required to provide your reference number and we will advise you how you can get your Skills Assessment renewed accordingly.

    @malt and @ieya_oz, nagreply naman sila kaagad. sabi nila:
    Please fill out the attached SRG03 form to renew your result. The completed form can be returned via email.

    The expiry date will be removed from the reissue.
    Mga AU60 lang yung reissue fee. Buti na lang di kailangan yung buo hehe.

    @ieya_oz, ha? from Nov til now ang processing ng SS mo?
    Nako, I submitted mine Jan this year pero dapat within this month makuha ko na din. Bakit ang tagal ng iyo? Sang state ka?

    Sa akin, sinabi ng agent ko na ipa re-issue ko na para ma avoid yung delays pag nag process ako. 60 AU lang naman. Better na maaga ko maayos yung papers kesa ma delay ako sa pag intay ng re-issue. At least ngayon, habang intay ng SS, intay din ng re-issue.

    @lock_code2004, sorry, ngayon ko lang nakita sagot mo. Nasa ACT SS stage ako but I think I will get my ACT SS before the skills assessment expires. The dilemma is when I lodge for visa 190.

    @ieya_oz @bookworm pa help po. I have submitted renewal of my skills assessment since nag expire sya last june 2017. Yung employment period na pina assess ko that time was from may 2004 to april 2014. Nag submit ako ng renewal form srg09 with vetassess. Ang concern ko po anong employment period na yung ibibigay nila sa akin? Since we can only claim employment for the last 10 years, sa renewal ba they will indicate na from 2007 to 2017? Same job and employer pa rin ako wlang nagbago. Na confuse kasi ako sa sinasabi sa website nila na parang last 5 years lang ang iconsider? I also sent them an email pero wala pa silang sagot. Id like to ask ano po yung nilagay sa renewal ninyo. Hope you could help. Thanks :-)

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @RheaMARN1171933 pa advise na din please. If nagpa assess ako kay vetassess and I filled up SRG09 form lang yung statement ba nila na sa outcome letter ilalagay ang "revised employment period for the last 5 year", ano big sabihin?. Since sa orig assessment 2004 to 2014 yung sa outcome letter? Ano na yung ilalagay nila sa reneweal ma oitcome letter? Worried kasi ako if makakakuha pa din ako ng 15 points. Included din sa orig outcome letter ko yung points test advise. Thanks

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @chococrinkle i think they can only assess upto 10yrs of work experience. therefore from 2007 to 2017 ang mailalagay sa bago mong assessment letter. I might be wrong, but happy to know what will be the outcome.

    I question that thought process before in cases similar to yours. if same employer , same job, same task ang ginagawa then why they cant assess it from the actual years of employment.

    @heycoachputmein Thanks for the feedback. Im also hoping they will provide that on my renewed outcome letter. Though as per my sister (already PR in aus), based on some experience, pwede pa din dw ma satisfy ang 10 yrs exp ko when I submit my updated coe. Since same lang naman job and employer then dibp will still honor my 10 years claim with the updated coe, even if below 10 yrs yung assessed years sa skills assessment. I just hope ruling is still the same. Thanks

    @chococrinkle like I mentioned, they will most likely recognise the last 10 years from the time you apply since that's what DIBP will only consider. At the end of the day, there's no point worrying yourself about the outcome. You've submitted your docs, all you have to do is wait and see. Good luck!

    @RheaMARN1171933. hello po Id like to ask again. I already have my renewed skills assessment and have already prepared all needed docs for Visa 489 SA SS. Im with the same company with same job decsription for 14 years and last 2014 I was able to get a coe from them with complate details such as my job description, full time employment salary and manhours indicated. Now I was asking the same letter but hrd informed me they dont issue coe anymore with job description and manhours, they only issue a standard format indicating im a regular employee, position, and my annual salary. I asked my direct superior if I could request a certification from her but she refused as she is not authorized to issue. My question is, would it suffice if I only have the 2014 coe plus the recent one indicating only my position and salary. Also is the term regular employee understood as full time in australia? I hope you could enlighten me. Thanks

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.
