    I asked my agent kanina and sabi sa akin na "Furher Assessment" daw nakalagay sa status. Ganito ba talaga pag nagsubmit ng hinihingi nila (PTE evidence lang yung sa akin)? Baka raw matagalan pa. E mag 2 months na sila sa Dec 8 since CO contact.

    @batman nung October 8 na CO contact kami and on the same day narequest ko agad thru my PTE account yung PTE result. Ang gusto kasi nila yung document ay manggagaling mismo sa PTE account although I believe sinubmit namin yung pdf copy na meron ako.

    Tinanong ko agent ko and nung tinignan ang status daw is "further assessment". Lapit ng mag 2 months since CO contact.

Though dapat nun ni review ni agent yung application nyo dapat inadvise nya na I send sa immigration ang result before pa naka pag EOI.
