    hi guys... quick question... can i select the state sponsored and employer nominated visas sa EOI kahit wala ako sponsorship? just wondering... kac pag nagclick ako sa selections na to... meron ako natatanggap na points... baka kac hingan ako tapos wala naman ako... mamaya ma-deny pa...
    yes you can select as many visa options as you want..
    at the end of the EOI, you will get a summary kung anu ang mga points mo per visa type..
    example:
    Visa 189: 60 pts
    Visa 190: 60 + 5 SS pts = 65pts

    of course, make sure na may atleast 60 pts ka para mainvite..
    or atleast 55 pts + 5 pts for SS for the Visa 190...
    and then sympre, kung kailangan mo magapply ng SS, you will apply on the state website..

    @lock_code2004 Grabe naman yung sa Engineer's assessment! Bakit di pa kasali ang work experience dun sa una? Gastos :( Buti sa ACS meron dun ung AQF chorva tpos yung years of experience. So makita kagad ng DIAC yung educ + work experience.

    Good luck sa mga nag-apply. :)

    Hi good morning guys. I found this forum very helpful. I have a few questions with regarding my application.

    DIAC's definition of "closely related employment" to the nominated occupation. DIAC defines closely related employment as paid employment of at least 40 hours per fortnight in an occupation in the same Unit Group of ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) as the nominated occupation. This implies that the employment should be at the same skill level as the nominated occupation and should draw on a similar skill set and subject matter. Usually closely related employment is in the same industry. The employment must also match the lead statement in ANZSCO for the nominated occupation.

    nalilito talaga ako sa same unit group ng ANZSCO :(

    For example yung Pharmacist (yun ang unit group) may subsections siya (Retail, Hospital, Industrial) kung ang nominated occupation mo is Retail Pharmacist; automatic hindi ba nila ica-count ung experience mo sa Hospital or Industrial para makuha mo yung points sa GSM?

    Paano pag sinabi talaga ng assessing authority (Australian Pharmacy Council) na wala kang experience as Retail Pharmacist? Pero it's up to the DIAC pa rin to decide if bibigyan ka ng points (positive scripting lang ba un at wag ka na dapat umasa sa points?)

    Ayoko kasi magfile ng application tapos denied lang din ung visa tapos non-refundable pa ung 3060 AUD.

    At ano po ba ung number ng DIAC na pwede tawagan from the Philippines?

    Thank you in advance!!!

    @honeybunny - welcome po sa forum..

    tama po, kung anu man po ang work experience nyo as a Pharmacist, it will be considered in your total work experience...

    based on your submitted documents (COE and Job Descriptions), your assessing authority (APC) will be able to provide opinion kung reletad/closely related po ang work experience nyo sa unit group. it will be stated in the assessment result, which will be the basis of DIAC in awarding points..

    So example ang nominated mo ay Retail Pharmacist, most of your work experience should demonstrate this, tapos meron kayong ibang work exp sa Hospital and Industrial, at may proof naman kayo (COE+JD, payslip), then icoconsider po yan ng APC at DIAC..

    of course, make sure na ang mga documents nyo, especially ang COE+JD ay aligned sa definition ng nominated occupation nyo... for sure nabasa nyo na ang link below..

    UNIT GROUP 2515 PHARMACISTS
    Occupations:
    251511 Hospital Pharmacist
    251512 Industrial Pharmacist
    251513 Retail Pharmacist

    Ang problem po kasi; hindi naman nagbigay ng opinion ang APC kung related/closely related siya. Bahala na daw ang DIAC pag ganun. Paano po kaya yun?

    ah okay.. personal opinion po, clear nmn po ang definition ng ANZSCO kung ano ang Pharmacist.. if you believe na covered yun ng job description nyo, at pumasa kayo skills at educational qualification ng APC, then ma-credit lahat yan ng DIAC..

    when i say "clear naman ang definition ng Pharmacist", i mean wala naman kayong kaparehong job.. unlike ung mga IT, medyo overlapping ang mga defintion ng IT analysts...

    so i think, kung anu man ang experience nyo sa tatlong specialization ng Pharmacist yan, at nakalagay naman po sa DIAC kung anu ang definition nila ng related/closely related, then walang problema...

    guys, nagcchange po ba yung Status ng attachments nyo from Required to Received?
    nagtataka kasi ako, yung iba nagcchange to Received.
    yung iba remains at Required status.

    Hindi po ba talaga sabay sabay nagcchange yung status ng attachments?
    kahit sabay sabay nman sila (same date) inupload?

    ganun din po ba sa case nyo?

    @nalooka.. hopefully hindi ka pa nalooka.. ;)

    i guess ang question nyo is: if you select visa 190 (with SS) sa EOI, kahit hindi kayo direct mag-apply ng State Sponsorship, possible ba na ang State ang mag invite sa inyo?

    kung yan po ang question nyo.. the answer is "Yes"..
    that is why the system is called SkillSelect, even employers.. or states can view your EOI, and they can invite anyone...

    but still, this is NOT yet a visa invitation, it will be an invitiation for "POTENTIAL STATE SPONSORSHIP".. after nyo mag-reply sa knila, at masatisfy nyo ang mga requirements.. then they will give you the SS 5pts, and saka pa alng din kayo iinvite for VISA lodging..

    Yup @peach17, weird yung mga yon. Di ko lam bket eh. Ako kse non, nagpadala na ng BioPages ng passport pero hiningi pa din. Labo! hahaha. Binigay ko na lang ulit yung docs. Wala namang issue yon pag ganon. nakakapagtaka lang pero kung on-hand naman yung mga docs mo, send mo lang ulit. Pag may tanong ka naman, ang best gawin.. i-attach mo yung doc na hinihingi tapos sa body ng email mo, may clause na..

    "I've attached the document you've requested. I would like to know if there has been some problems with the previous document I've sent? If you could inform me of the reason so that I can understand it, that would be great."

    Hahahah! Parang ganyan lang. If you can think of a better way to ask, mas okay. Bsta bottom line, i-send mo pa rin yung gusto nilang doc tapos saka ka magtanong. :)

    P.S. make sure yung i-send mong doc eh tlagang tama ah..

    so ibig po ba sabihin, kahit nag attach na tyo ng mga documents sa visa application, possible pa rin na hingin ulit yun ng CO?
    So issend ulit natin sa CO via email?

    YES, it happened to me... I thought I managed to submit all (except my NBI clearance which was still in transit during that time) but when the CO contacted me, he asked again for some documents.

    I told him it was already sent and he acknowledged naman na there are some problems sa eVisa system, wherein some docs uploaded may not be viewed from their end.

    Bottomline is, don't lose sleep over it... Upload what you can and what you think is necessary. When the time comes that you will have an IO, they will ask naman the documents that they need in order to proceed in assessing your application.

    :)

    That is normal @peach17 - there came a point that I already gave up on the eVisa system and naghintay nalang sa CO. :)

    If you are OC about it, you can try to wake up very early in the morning and try uploading... As per experience, mas mabilis pag-ganun... :)
