It is an indication that the CO has seen your application... if no other requests for document is made then perhaps a result is in the works.

Is anyone here able to confirm if one can be exempted to take IELTS when applying for ENS 186 Temporary Residence Transition Stream if they were exempted to take IELTS when they were granted the 457 visa?

Opo, pag nagbakasyon kayo hahanapin yun bago kayo lumabas ng Pinas. No need naman na to attend the seminar pag naka-stay na kayo ng Au for at least 2 months. Just register for a PDOS but come to their office anytime for payment and attachment of the sticker. Bring along the visa grant and other proof of residence (drivers license, etc.)

Hello @cucci
Yung CFO ba hahanapin if almost 3 years ka na nakastay sa AU? say, 2 yrs at 457 and then granted na ang PR tapos uuwi ng pinas?

@abegail0024 457 din ako before tapos after naging 186. Nung umuwi kami sa Pinas, nagpaschedule n kami sa CFO para makuha yung sticker. Di na kami nagseminar. nagbayad na lang. Nagworry kasi ako na baka harangin pa kami sa immigration kapag wala kami CFO sticker. Nagsigurado lang.

Yes po... by law, all emigrating Filipinos exiting Philippine ports are required to be registered with CFO. The seminar/PDOS may be waived if the individual has stayed in the emigrating country for at least 2 months. Kaya pag nagbakasyon kayo sa Pinas, hahanapin ang CFO sticker on your exit.
Wala naman pong hassle sa process ng registration, except the traffic going to CFO office specially in Manila. There are also satellite offices in Clark, Cebu and Davao. Just register online to schedule a PDOS but you do not need to attend the seminar. You can visit the office where you scheduled the PDOS at any time to present your documents and pay the 400 peso registration fee. Mabilis naman po ang process... sa flow char nila 6 mins lang...

Hirap maging Pilipino no? May OEC tapos may CFO sticker. Wala naman sila tinulong sa paghahanap ng work at pag process ng papers.
