    Follow up question. What if na-approve na yun visa, and then hindi pa ako aalis agad ng Phil to go to OZ, and then inabutan ng expiry.. ano po ang pwede gawin? Nakadikit na po ba yun visa dun sa passport? I'm sure hindi po pwede ilipat yun sa bago passport. Thanks!

    @Bryann, they advise nga din na at least 2 years ang validity ng Passport mo. I read it somewhere in Booklet 6 eh. Kaya nagpa-renew na ako ng passport kahit sa 2013 pa ang expiry. Adik lang. Hahaha!

    Ang worry ko nga ngayon, pwede ko pa gamitin yung luma kong passport eh. Pero baka naman mahuli ako na may bagong issue na sa akin tapos gamit ko pa ung luma. Yari ako kung ganon. Di kse nila nabutasan nun kse may possibility na di malabas on time ung passport dun sa due date. Hehe.

    Hi sa lahat. Tanong ko lang po kung pano ung time limit sa medical, I mean, kapag sinabihan ka na ng CO na magpa medical, may maximum time b n dapat magawa un? Nag wo work kasi ako ngaun d2 sa Saudi kaya nasa employer ko ang passport ko. Original passport kasi keylangan sa medical, ayaw tanggapin ng hospital ang xerox. Hindi p nmn po ako nag lodge, pinepredict ko p lng kung anu mga possible difficulties.In case n ganto nga ang mangyari, pwede kayang sa Pinas na magpa medical after ng contract? Ano po sa tingin nyo, advise naman po jan. Thank u! =)

    @LkiJr hindi basta nade-decline ang application kung may constant communication kayo ng CO mo. Kapag na-delay, hingi ka ng extension, then kapag di pa kaya sa due date na binigay, hingi ka pa ulet, bibigyan ka pa nila. Lenient sila pagdating sa extensions. Ang mahirap lang kung may agent ka tapos hindi ka na-iinform kaagad. Maraming mga applicants dito na nagkaproblema sa migration agent dahil sa negligence.

    @methylester : during skills assessment, may mga occupation na kelangan ang IELTS upfront like accountant, engineer. etc. Sa ICT occupations, hindi pa kelangan ang IELTS sa skills assessment. Pero if I were you, mag-exam ka muna ng IELTS - yun kasi ang pinakamura yet pinakamahirap na stage, then ang validity pa ay 2 years, unlike sa skills assessment (ACS) na 1 year lang ang validity.

    ah depende pala sa occupation kung kaylangan n agad ang IELTS sa assessment p lng. hehe. cge po, baka mag IELTS na muna ko sa Jan, tapos apply na hopefully kung ok nmn ang makuhang score. Sana.. hehe. Pero ung sa assesssment po ba, ano mga need na documents dun (para maunti unti ko n pag prepare) saka mga gano katagal kaya un?

    Itanong ko na rin po ung sa police clearance, ang sabi kasi sa booklet 6, need daw ng police clearance from all countries na pinag stay-an mo ng at least 12 months. Mag tu 12 months nako on April d2 sa Saudi kaya balak ko sanang habulin na wag n ko hingan ng police clearance (alam nyo naman d2, mahirap kausap mga arabo..) Ung time kaya ng pag compute nila ng stay ko d2 e hanggang sa mai lodge ko ung application ko? So before April dapat, ganun ba? Kaya balak ko sana magpa assess na this December, para lumakad na ung papers tapos IELTS sa Jan. Ano po sa tingin nyo magandang gawin? Salamat po ng marami!

    Hi @issa, I think 5 points lang makuha mo.. Kasi dapat mag-total ng 5 years eh. Sample yung akin 4yrs 1month tapos 11months yung isang work ko. So sum nyan 5years. Yung sayo I doubt kung pwede ka mag-claim ng 10pts.

    Anyone, can someone help? Thanks! ^_^

    @jaero: thanks sa info =) so hintayin ko n lng muna na mag request ang CO ng police clearance bago ako mag request d2 sa Saudi police, tama b? hehe. upon request ba ng CO for police clearance, gano katagal ba dapat bago mo un mai submit? ang balita ko kasi matagal ang processing ng police clearaance d2 sa Saudi. anung advice mo?

    ung initial entry kamo is based sa police clearance at medical. so kung visa grant na, within anong period dapat ang first entry? (natanong ko lng, malayong malayo pa'ko sa stage na un hehe) tnx!

    @issa: based sa pagkakaintindi ko sa booklet 6 at sa mga nabasa ko sa forums, hnd po un ma round off. ganun din kasi sa case ko, sa april pa'ko makaka total of 3 years kaya pag nakapag lodge ako ng before that time, wala ko makukuhang 5 pts from work exp. hoping n lng na i consider ng CO kapag April na at processing pa rin ung papers. hehe

    question po.. I've recently lodged my application for GSM 175 visa but I'm a bit wary if it'll get approved.. Does DIAC assess your experience duration based on the ACS Skills Assessment Results or based on your experience duration on the day you lodged your visa application? Nung nagpa-assess kasi ako parang 4years lang kasi yung experience na ni-consider nila but since I've been continuously working, my work experience now more than meets the minimum requirements for me to obtain the points I need. Hope somebody could clarify things for me. Thanks! :)

    Although DIAC will look at the work experience reflected on your skills assessment, still your CO will rely on the COE/Reference letter you presented at the time you lodge your visa application.

    Example of how ACS computes Work eperience:
    Nominated Occupation: Business Analyst

    Jan 2002 - Jan 2008 Analyst Programmer = 50% (3 yrs)
    Jan 2008 - Jan 2011 Business Analyst = 3 yrs

    For ACS, your SOLID work experience to your nominated occupation is 6 yrs only.

    For DIAC, your overall work experience relevant to your nominated occupation is 9 yrs.

    ---------------

    source: Friend's skills assessment and his visa grant letter of the new point system. If he was not granted 9 yrs work experience he would've fallen short of 5 pts subject to visa refusal.

    Hi! Happy Sunday to everyone! I just want to ask if can have my skill assessment kahit wala pa akong IELTS scores?

    Thanks in advance.

    Follow your heart but trust your gut.

    @unanimous21 kahit anong states, 176/475. Once na-lodge mo ang application 3 days to 2 weeks my CO ka na. Then kapag may NBI ka na at mabilis ang ang processing ng medical mo, visa grant na.

    @gemini23 : it depends on your assessing authority. Visit their website, some of them require IELTS upfront.
