    @ectomurf - hi.. welcome to the forum..

    1. It depends on your assessing authority.. for Engrs Australia, IELTS is a requirement.
    2. please refer to the thread about secondary applicant's English language requirement:

    http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/828/adding-secondary-applicants-marriedde-factoengaged/p1

    3. First check if you really need the Partner's skills (5pts), if you have more than 60pts (as primary), then you dont need Partner's skills assessment..

    @lock_code2004: Salamat po sa mabilis na reply. Most likely ako na lng ang magpapa-assess kasi mahal din ang assessment fee. I will keep you updated. For sure marami pa ko tanong in the future.

    Good day po! Bago lang po ako sa forum na ito. So far nagreresearch pa lng ako ng mga kailangan gawin para makapag-apply ng visa. Ano po ba ang complete requirement for EOI?
    So far ang alam ko is kailangan magpa-assess ng skills and kailangan ng IELTS. Pareho po kaming engineer ng wife ko and ako yung magiging main applicant. Eto po mga tanog ko:

    1. Kailangan po ba may IELTS result na bago magpa-assess ng skills?
    2. Dapat po ba mag-IELTS din ang wife ko?
    2. If ako yung main applicant, ako lng ba ang mgppa-assess ng skills or pati wife ko?

    Thanks in advance po sa help. We decided not to use an agent kaya medyo nalilito ako. :)
    1. Kailangan po ba may IELTS result na bago magpa-assess ng skills? - this depends on who is the relevant agency doing your skills assessment; double check on this as some agencies (like CPA Australia) that will need IELTS before you can do your skills assessment; others naman, pwede skills assessment then saka na ang IELTS. TAKE NOTE that some agencies (like CPA Australia again) may require a minimum score for your IELTS in order for you to be assessed.

    2. Dapat po ba mag-IELTS din ang wife ko? - pwede hindi as long as you can produce a document that states that the education of your partner was done in English

    3. If ako yung main applicant, ako lng ba ang mgppa-assess ng skills or pati wife ko? - no need to have your partner do a skills assessment (ako secondary applicant and I did not get any skills assessment) - however if you want to claim points from your partner then kailangan ng skills assessment ng secondary applicant. Check Booklet 6 for more details on this.

    Hope this helps! :)

    I did scan some documents while our IELTS, the Singapore PCC and NBI Clearance were just send via email without any CTC seal - these were all doc in full color.

    Thanks po @psychoboy. So hindi na rin po kayo nagpa CTC ng lahat ng documents?

    No need ipaphotocopy and ipa CTC? All we need is to scan all documents in color and ito na po ang iaattach namin sa visa application?

    PUT IT THIS WAY para di ka malito...

    If you can scan it in full color - no need to pay for CTC; if otherwise, no choice but to pay for CTC.

    Okey?! :)

    @psychoboy: Good day po! Thanks for the answers. For Engineers Australia, they are OK with either general or academic IELTS. Ano po ba ang mas madaling test? I wanted to take the easier one so I can get a high score para dagdag sa points. By the way I noticed you are also from SG. I think you can also help me where to get certain docs here in SG. Thanks again. :)

    hi @psychoboy good morning :)

    nicheck ko po mga documents namin, yung mga ITR hindi po kasi sya colored eh. naka black and white lang. pano po yun? need ko pa ipa CTC?

    hi.. i checked my ITR, and b&w talaga sya kasi un nmn ang copy na binibigay sa atin..
    but my signature is original and may original stamp din ng company namin.. so that makes it an original page.. kaya hindi ko na rin pina CTC..

    also, please keep in mind na ang ITR is not really a requirement.. normally hinihingi lang yan ng CO, to verify additional proof of employment lalo na kung wlang payslip.. so kung may COE w/ salary, tapos may payslip naman kayo.. okay na po yun..

    pero kung pwede nyo na rin isama ang ITR nyo.. para wala ng question ang CO..

    If you are having doubts @peach17, I would suggest you just have it CTC'ed - i guess it would not cost too much to do this compared to say "what if" magkaproblema ka sa visa application mo diba?

    My thoughts lang, lodging a visa cost a lot of money... Magka CTC will probably be Php150 at most - just invest on the Php150 for peace of mind I would say IF you are in doubts...

    For Visa 189/489: from the 3000 visa invitations last Dec 17 2012.. approx 1000 are with EOI 60 pts.

    For Visa 190: we all know that, once approved with SS, you will receive an automatic visa invitation.

    @katlin924 - to add to the above; it is safe to say that if you have 65pts and up, you will be given an invitation immediately on the next cycle for invitation. if you have 60pts naman, it will be a waiting game as to when you will get your invite.

    Hello po sa lahat!

    Newbie here, ito ang pinakaunang post ko :)

    I am currently in the process of preparing for my SkillSelect (Skilled Independent) application and balak ko na mag-take ng IELTS exam and magpa-assess sa Engineers Australia for Electronics Engineer.

    BSECE ako from PLM, >10 years work experience as Product/Test Engineer sa semicon...

    May tanong lang sana ako, nung nire-review ko yung SkillSelect Booklet6... yung section ng "Points for Educational Qualifications - bachelor qualification, awarded by an overseas educational institution of a recognised standard".

    Covered ba sya ng assessment ng Engineers Australia? Kapag ba na-assess ng EA na equivalent to Professional Engineer yung qualifications ko, considered na rin na "recognised standard" yung Bachelors degree ko from PLM, and pwede kong i-claim yung Points for Educational Qualifications?

    Salamat po sa sasagot and looking forward to meeting new friends here!

    @aussiestotle - if you are applying for EA, make sure to select the following:

    1) standard assessment for your qualification (600AUD), they will provide the result whether your PLM degree is comparable to AU Degree (which you can claim 15pts), or if it is comparable to AU diploma (which you can claim only 10pts). Only your result can tell wether it is degree or diploma level.. but you can ask someone from the same school with the same degree, kung anung result sa kanila.. please check "Engineers Corner" thread.

    2) Additional assessment for your work experience (250AUD) - they will provide opinion on how many years of your work experience are related to your nominated occupation.. which will also be the basis for claiming points for your work experience..
