    @NoelRubio medical clearance is time sensitive. It's valid for a year so if you do this too early it's possible that you may be asked to submit another one. You won't be affected by any policy changes once your visa application has been lodged.

    @jazmyne18 Hi! Yes I can access the link pero di ko makit yung info na shinare mo. Anyways, nasa Australia naman ako and having them certified is free so ipa-certify ko nalang.

    Ito naman yung nakita kong infor about it:
    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa/info

    'Every visa application requires various supporting documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, proof of identity etc.

    Unless asked to do otherwise, you should provide 'certified copies' of original documents, rather than the original documents.

    'Certified copies' have been authorised (or stamped) as being true copies of originals, by a person or agency recognised by the law of the country in which you live. All departmental offices outside Australia have a person who can certify or witness documents. You may have to pay for this service.

    Police certificates are the exception. You must provide original police certificates with your application.'

    @me.wanderer more or less po. It all boils down sa assessing authority nyo if ibibigay ang 15 points pero sa overseas work experience siya, hindi sa AU experience. :)

    Question lang para sa mga naglodge na ng visa. Nagupload na ko ng ITR and COE for proof of employment tapos for the payslip sa first company, 2 lang payslip meron ako. Yung unang unang payslip tska isang 2012 payslip. 2010-2013 ako sa first company. Enough na ba yun? Gusto ko din sana magupload ng SSS contributions pero may 2 months na 0 yung contributions nung 2012 ewan ko kung bakit so iniisip namin baka mas maging questionable pa imbes dagdag sa proof. Salamat sa mga makakasagot.

    @toAustraliaandbeyond Pwede naman po pero it is advisable na all documents are uploaded upfront to avoid CO contact. Ang CO contact kasi ang isa sa nagpapatagal sa process ng assessment for granting a visa. Based sa current trend inaabot ng 2-3 months ang pagitan ng CO contacts.

    @toAustraliaandbeyond Yes it is advisable to frontload all documents so your application is decision ready for faster visa approval. However if the documents are not yet ready before your ITA expires, then much better to lodge your visa kasi mas importante pa din ang ITA. Provided that when the time comes your CO asks for the documents, you already have them. Based on the current processing times, CO allocation is around 1 to 2 months after lodgement. Once the documents are asked, you will be given 28 days to comply.

    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.

    Add ko lang po sa discussion on docs for lodging na, with the trend ngayun na napakabagal ma CO review ng applicant, I think much better na dahan2x nalang sa docs lalo na sa Police clearance and medical baka kase ma abotan pa tayo ng expiration na 1 year. That is if tingin nyo na wala kayo issue with both like potential additional medical check, or baka mahirap talaga kumuha ng PCC sa countries nyo, Basta maka pag lodge at bayad na kayo ahead. Dami na rin kase cases ngayon na multiple CO contacts then eventually na umabot na to 1 year, yun tuloy hinahanapan ng another medical at PCC. Tayo pa ang may mali, tsk tsk tsk..

    @Heprex Hi! I am planning to start my Visa 189 application but I'm having a hard time requesting for my COE with Roles and Responsibilities from HP. I already got my previous manager's approval but when I sent it to the email address they mentioned, no one's responding. Was thinking of submitting A Statutory Declaration or Affidavit instead. Will you be aware of the format? Thanks! :)
