    @sicntyrd Thank you for your response. Sa skillselect EOI ko kasi walang mali, sa SA nomination EOI ako nagkamali ng overallband, dapat 7.5 hindi 7. Tapos yung sa isang work experience ko, dapat "not in the nominated occupation and not closely related" kaso napindot ko "not in the nominated occupation but is closely related". Pwede ba itong form 1023?

    I checked it and sabi doon:

    Several provisions of the Migration Act 1958 require you to inform the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (the department) of any incorrect information that you may have given:
    • in your visa application; in response to a notice given to you by the department inviting you to comment on possible non-compliance with an obligation to correct incorrect information.


    **Kailangan ko bang antayin muna yung sabihin ng SA or amend ko na changes? Thank you! God bless!

    @nikki19

    Form 1023 won't work since you were actually referring to your state nomination application errors. I'm afraid you can't do anything about it, unless somebody here confirms they were able to update their details after paying the nomination fee.

    This is in Immigration SA's Terms and Conditions during nomination application:
    After submitting your application by selecting the 'submit' button, your application will be locked and you will not be able to make any further changes
    to your application.
    Changes may only be made to the application before selecting the 'submit' button. Requests to 'unlock' a submitted application will be refused.
    I think you should try to contact SA Immigration. Kaso wala akong email address nila. Meron silang "submit enquiry" tab don sa Skilled Migrant page mo, but tbh I'm not even sure if it works. I did submit an enquiry before but have gotten no response. They do have a phone line though T: +61 (8) 8303 2420.

    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.

    @King Tim I only have one employment for the last 15 years, thus, I was confused on what date to reflect as my start date, whether ny actual start date or the inclusive dates only of the last 10 years covered. In my skills assessment though, only the last 10 years was included, and only this period have points.

    @sicntyrd binuksan nila yung application ko agad, in a span of 3 days I got an answer from a case officer. Legit daw na 70 points ako pero since pumasok sa High Points yung work ko and it required 80, withdraw ko daw muna then resubmit nalang kesa "refusal" ang makuha ko for now. God is at work! :) Answered prayer in a different light :)

    @nikki19 I was gonna suggest that last time, kaso medyo drastic at sayang yung 200 AUD. But glad, it all worked out for you. Mas okay nang magbayad ulit, kaysa magka-record ka ng isang refused application. Like what @Drickster said, around July yung bagong fiscal year. And perhaps, there will be more states available for your occupation. Good luck!

    @Delsette depende yan e. State or relative sponsored ba? Some states basta pasok sa cutoff naiinvite. Pag family sponsored naman kailangan mataas ang score. To give you a perspective may 489 family sponsored ako na eoi. Sept 2017 ko sinubmit pero wala pa rin invite. 70 pts ako nun with sponsorship na

    @Delsette 65 pointer po ako 1 year ago (dec2017) including SP points but never received an invite ang tough ng competition for 489, laging 8opoints lang ang kinukuha, last month nagrecalculate ung overall pts ko due to 8yrs work experience 70points na ako pero wala pa rin invite...

    Magtatake ako PTE by jan23, hopefully mahit ko ang 10pts para maging 80pts ako. All the best po :)

    @Delsette Iba-iba yung sponsorship process and requirements ng bawat state. Check mo muna kung sa aling states pa open yung occupation mo and kung mamemeet mo yung requirements ng mga states na yun. From there mas matatantya mo yung chances mo.
