Hi para po sa mga tiga SG, pwede po ba ung IRAS na mini-mail yearly para sa evidence of employment? Sa IRAS po kc wala ung employer name. Thank you😊

Hi po . Magtatanong lang po kung may na approved na EOI na 65 points lng at kung gaano po katagal. Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

Captain_A · October 2019

@kayeramos sorry to say but currently 65 pts is not possible for invite until Nov 2020 according to iscah estimates. try mo reach 85 if possible.

Question lng po mga guys, my friend informed me that need dw po PSO ang nakalagay sa birth certificate, ndi po ba pdeng NSO nkalagay since it was the former? Hope for your enlightenment po kc nso yun inupload nmin. Maraming salamata dn po.

Hi po sa lahat.
Ask ko lang po sana, ako po mag-aapply as principal, then my wife will be dependent. I also learned na pwede pala magkapoints if makaskills assessment sya but the problem is wala po sa Skills List ang occupation nya. Nagtatrabaho sya sa NSO na PSA na ngaun as Request Service Officer. May equivalent ba yun na occupation sa Skills List? AB Economics po natapos nya. If meron, ano po accessing body?
Salamat po in advance.

cucci · October 2019

@kamoteuglz_07 Afaik, NSO-issued birth certificate is still accepted.

kamoteuglz_07 · October 2019

@cucci ayun maraming salamats po sa pg sagot. Kc mejo bka mahirapan na dn po kmi kun kkuha pa kmi ng birth cert ulit.

pede mo din iaccess ang account mo online to get the last 5 years record or pag beyond nyan you can call IRAS and they will print at a cost (30cents per year of assessment)

No choice tayo na SG based, IRAS ang isa sa reference natin kahit walang company name

skimberlou · October 2019

@ms_ane hi thank you for the reply. Kumpleto po ako ng iras copy since 2012 un nga lang walang employer name. Nagpasa ka rin po ba ng IRAS as employment evidence?

Hello po. Just lodged my 189 yesterday and now nagprepare na ako for the docs. Question, ano po other documents to prove your employment aside from 2316, bank statement at payslip? (hindi ko na makuha yang mga documents na yan). Balak ko kasi e claim lahat ng work experience ko na hindi ni credit ni ACS.

EOI lodged ba kapatid? to clarify lang din

usually yung mga na mention mo e yun lang ang main reference, sss contribution summary is pwede din.

During EOI you can only claim work experiences na na credit ng ACS, unless you’re a risk taker to get an ITA for experiences na di na credit - you must be 100% sure about this and have all the valid/major supporting documents to back you up, otherwise you are risking to commit over claiming of points that will lead to visa rejection. Most of us will not recommend that pero in the end ikaw pa din naman masusunod, I think worthwhile lang din na you are informed about this.

Hi @ms_ane , yes EOI pa po. and thank you. Aware po ako sa risk, actually yung ni credit ng ACS na work experience is half ng working experience ko sa previous company, bali yung working experience ko dapat sa isang company is more than 1year, pero credit lang ng ACS is less than 1year, since same company lang at same job details, I think I can claim the entire working experience for that company. Sayang din po kasi sa points, if I don't claim it i'll be less than 80 which sa time ngayun, matatagalan yung invite.

Helo po. Sad to say ung company ko ayaw nila ung sample format na ginawa ko Basic standard ng COE lang tlaga ang maibibigay nila Sino po ang may sample or format ng statutory declaration? Yung previous Company ko kasi ayaw mag provide ng more detailed COE. Thank you in advance.

Hi same here, but what I did is I still use the COe from the HR. Which usually gives your salary details and work time hours. Then I ask my supervisor to make another coe which includes my job description. All in all dalawa coe ko sa isang company. As long as lahat ng info na hinihingi andun. Both letters should be in company letter head para no need na ng stat dec.

kapatid, ACS has a reason why they minus certain years of work experiences - I suggest na you check it first it could be due to your school section, etc.

You can accumulate points moving forward under the same company that has been assessed by ACS as you gain experience - but not from prior years kung saan ACS has already decided na hindi sya claimable.
Anyway - please read more lalo na if DIY ka, kasi if you have an agent I am sure di ka nila iaallow sa iyong gagawin. We know na the points system now is very high, but taking risks such as this is not worthwhile (time and money wise)

Pero anyway, to answer your questions, provide as many evidence as you can, sss, pag ibig contributions, BIR 2316 (you can request sa BIR), payslip.

Try acquiring points sa ibang way din. Goodluck

Hi @ms_ane , yung SSS po ba pwde galing directly from SSS like website screenshot or document? Or need talaga galing from the company as Certificate of Remittance?

This is noted @ms_ane . Question dun sa you can request sa BIR. You mean to say, you can request directly from BIR sa 2316 mo if hindi ma provide ng employer mo? If so, how po?

ms_ane · October 2019

@arianignacio may na ishare na ako how 2 weeks ago siguro, I’ll try to check again and share pero check mo din kasi madami din nagtatanong hehe.

extremestyleman · October 2019

Be very careful with claiming such experience not backed up by the skills assessing authority. You are at risk of your visa being refused if case officer finds you’ve over claimed points.

section3kid · October 2019

Hi po ms @RheaMARN1171933, question lang po medyo nalilito po ako heheheh.

Kaka-receive ko lang ng ACS results ko. Plano ko po mag lodge ng EOI today pero di po ako sure ano ilalagay sa Qualification nung course ko. Ang nasa ACS ang result is AQF Diploma with a Major in
computing. Ano po ba dapat ilagay sa qualification part sa EOI? Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Graduate diploma?

And also po, dapat po ba ilagay lahat ng course sa EOI? ang na assess po ni ACS sa akin is yung IT course ko. Pero may ibang course po din ako which is related din sa IT (2 year associate course)

Thanks po in advance!

Hello, my husband and I are planning to submit EOI under subclass VISA 190 (VIC) but to get more points we need to get Partner points.

Ask ko lang po kung makakakuha pa din po ba kami ng points if eto scenario namin?
Main applicant: Husband - 263111 (under Skilled Occupation List and nominated SOL of VIC)
Wife - 221111 (under Skilled Occupation List but not on nominated SOL of VIC)

Assuming na makakuha po ako ng competent English results, can we still claim for Partner points kahit na yung occupation ko as wife is not under VIC Nominated State Occupation List?
