@batman Architectural Technician po

@chrisangel nice!

@chrisangel architectural technician is on the short term occupation list. Having a job offer gives you an advantage if you are applying for GSM visa route. Try to avoid work sponsorship if you can as this isn't a guaranteed pathway to PR. I would always advice my clients to still opt for GSM no matter what.

@batman What I will do to my payslip? Shall I request an affidavit explaining the reason why my name in my payslip was mispelled? or I will just show the bank statement with the same amount on the payslip? Thank you sir.

batman · May 2018

@Graff if only one letter difference I don't think its a big issue. in my opinion.

Graff · May 2018

@batman Ok sir. I will include my payslips as one of my employment evidence in VET assessment. Also, I will get bank statements showing the same amount received in the payslips.

Thank you sir.

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2018

@Graff @batman I agree

Graff · May 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 Thank you sir.

hi @RheaMARN1171933 good day po. I saw from your post in the forum that it is better to wait for the CO to ask for police clearance.

In my case po kasi I have staggered overseas assignment in Japan.
Year 2008 - 6months
Year 2010 – 11months and 2 weeks

Query 1 - am I required to submit a Japan police clearance? Kaso what I read was you have to be in a foreign country for 12mos. Not so sure lang ako pag considered ba kahit staggered? Or considered po ba na a must ung year 2010 stay ko sa Japan kasi 2 weeks nalang mag one year na ako dun?

Query 2 - better po ba to wait nalang if CO requires me to submit? Kaso po nabasa ko kasi it will take 2 months to get a Japan police clearance here in the Philippines so baka po magahol ako sa oras if I will wait CO to request this.

Kindly assist to enlighten me. Thank you po in advance!

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2018

@michtery_aus it has to be living more than 12 months. I don't think yours would be under this classification. Why don't you provide a cover letter when you submit your application explaining your case and to advice you if they require such clearance. They will let you know naman e. Usually they'll give you 25 days to provide documents. If you can't meet the deadline just submit another cover letter explaining why you're not able to meet the deadline. They will wait namin since it's beyond your control. The important thing is you expressed your intention to follow the requirements.

Cnu po dito may Sample ng Statuttory Dec po? Also pde po b magpasa n sa CPAA kahit d pa superior score abd retake nlng ulit after mkasubmit ng EOI. As far as I know po kasi allowed nmn po un db?

michtery_aus · May 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 noted po! Thank you very much for the information.

RheaMARN1171933 · May 2018

@michtery_aus no worries, to be honest, you won't need to submit any police clearance pero write the cover letter na rin para safe. All the best.

mamertz · May 2018

Please confirm naman po ang understanding ko.
Few years back po, na-observe ko na nirerequire ng Immigration na certified copies ang isa-submit.
Sa bagong nababasa ko from the website, parang tinanggal na nila itong requirement na ito. Instead, clear scanned copy of originals na lang.

Tama po ba unawa ko?

chrisangel · May 2018

@RheaMARN1171933 thank you. I've actually considered your advice at nag start na akong mag research about my visa options.

chrisangel · May 2018

hello.
I would like to ask some advice regarding skills assessment po. as I was doing my research, nakita ko po itong website na ito > www.vetassess.com.au Dito lang po ba sa website/authority na to puwedeng mag apply ng skills assessment? ang occupation ko po (architectural technician/draftsperson) ay under ng General Profession VETASSESS assessment.
thank you po

nicnac · May 2018

ask lang po regarding sa visa lodging..

do you need to put the Highest recognised qualification obtained ng spouse/de facto?

do you need to put din yung previous jobs kahit internship lang ng spouse/de facto sa ibang bansa sa application?

Dun sa previous countries of residence - Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence..
ilang months/years dapat bago masabi tumira ka dun? kasi for example, yung defacto ko nag-intern sya sa USA twice.. umuwi sya sa pinas kada 6 months. ilalagay ko pa yun?
Tapos nasa drop-down din pati ung non-migrating members ng family, yung sister ko kasi nasa singapore (PR sya dun), so need din sya ilagay dun? Kaso may start and end date na nakalagay, eh dun naman talaga sya naka-based. Or better wag ko nalang ilagay yung sakanya? Dahil usual country of residence nya naman yung Singapore? Or yung usual of country of residence nya is Pinas padin kahit more than 10 years na sya sa SG?

I hope someone can shed a light.. Thank you.

Guys,

Ano yung pinaka minimum na print quality (dpi) required for PDFs when it comes to attaching visa documents sa visa application?

Anyone?

chyrstheen · May 2018

hi @nicnac

de facto highest qualification - yes

non-migrating family members - dependent nyo po ba yung sister nyo? mukhang may work sya so di sya classified as "family member". you may read more here: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Migrationagents/Pages/member-of-family-unit.aspx

hingi lang ako ng advice sa inyo.. humingi ng additional docs ang vetassess for my former employment but i had to for go it kasi di aabot sa deadline and di nagrereply yugn dati kong boss. last week nareceive ko na yung results ko. positive with 10 points overseas employment.

ngayon lang nagreply yung dati kong boss and nareceive ko na yung addiotional docs. my question is pwede bang ipareassess yun? sayang kasi yung 5 points eh.. and how long yung reassessment?

thanks in advance!

aj.skywalker · May 2018

Hi po, naglodge po ako ng EOI kahapon, ask ko lang po what are the chances po na 65 points lang po kasi ako, hindi ko na po mataas kasi maximum na po english, sa experience naman po kulang pa po 1 year para sa plus 5 points? maiinvite pa po kaya ako?

deaddisco · May 2018

@aj.skywalker Well you can check the EOI invitation estimate. I think maiinvite ka pero sobrang tagal nga lang.

ykseihpos · May 2018

Ask ko lang po kung ano po ginawa niyo sa employment reference, di ba sa COE di naman nakaindicate dun yung job description?

ykseihpos · May 2018

...

chococrinkle · May 2018

@ceinau15 you may proceed with medicals prior to lodging, just get HAP ID from My health Declaration in your immi account.

NoelRubio · May 2018

Guys, I'm lodging my visa now.

May question dito:

Does the applicant have any members of their family unit NOT travelling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents?

Most probable answer dito is YES, kasi I have my parents and siblings na hindi naman pupuntang Australia.

But when you click YES, they will ask yung passport details nila lahat :-w

Heprex · May 2018

@NoelRubio Members of Family unit are Spouse and children lang, not parents nor siblings.

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Migrationagents/Pages/member-of-family-unit.aspx

A member of your family unit can be your:
partner – married or de facto (same or opposite sex)
or
dependent child, up to 23 years of age (there are some exceptions, see below under Eligible child below).

https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa/incl

so if may hindi ka isasama sa application mo na spouse or children, then saka mo sya i-yes.
