meron sila format na isesend para sa authorization letter- print, sign and scan lang tapos email back sa kanila after. yung samin, 2 LTO Certificates, PhP3,000 kasama yung pa-LBC ng docs sa relative namin sa Pinas. may mga iba pa kasi ako ipina send na docs kaya hindi ko na pina-international, if international mailing daw it would cost us PhP4,800.
i think okay lang yung rate kasi para sa hassle (byahe, pila, etc) lalo na may covid ngayon..

Yup, it should be 10pts instead of having 15pts if they recognize it as Degree.
ComSci ako 4yrs Course kaso yung School ko ginagawa nila 1st 2yr course ko is associate then pwede mag proceed to Degree so i think they only recognize mine as diploma maybe because of this though i maybe wrong. =P

Need nang appointment sa phil embassy kaso nov pa latest date kaya kumuha kami form tapos sa cantonment kami nag pa finger printing. Tuesday and Thursday lang pwede 2-5pm no appointment 15 sgd ang bayad and need nila ang passport. Then dinala namin sa phil embassy kaso hassle nung una kasi need daw appointment sa submission pero sabi nang partner ko ano sense nang pagbabayad namin sa cantonment at sa phil embassy nang 42.50 if hihintay din pala appointment.

We received hubby's positive assessment from IEA since Oct 2017... kaso he only got 65 points so until now nasa waiting game pa rin kami. Since almost 3 years na, this is about to expire so I asked Engineers Australia regarding our case if he needs to submit another round of CDR and for them to do the assessment again. They told me that there is no need to resubmit the application.
A duplicate Skill Assessment outcome letter will suffice and will only require an administration fee of $121.00 (incl GST). This is good news. We are planning to shift to VISA 491 kasi parang malabo na to get an invite with 189 and 190. Problem now is our NBI clearance expired na (Oct 2018) - how to have this renewed? Will they still accept this kasi for the past 8 years andito lang kami sa SG?

Hi po. I just submitted by EOI yesterday.
When is the ideal time to get an NBI clearance? Kailan bang hintayin pa ang visa invitation before getting one?
May nabasa kasi ako na better get an NBI clearance daw once the invitation is received. Something to do with the Initial Entry Date daw as it should depend on the expiry of either medical or NBI clearance. (not sure if this is accurate)
Thanks po in advance.

Not advisable po na kumuha agad kasi maexpire lang. Antayin nyo pag meron na ITA.

Thanks for replying. Noted po.
Yung issue lang na naiisip ko is ung process nag pagkuha ng NBI clearance mismo. Affected ung pagpo process ko due to COVID. What if it will take more than 60 days ung pagkuha ng requirements for visa, pwede bang paikusapan ung Immig? Pwede bang ma extend?
Salamat ulit

yung time po namin is wala pang 1 week nakuha sis. If ever magtake siya ng 60 days. you can always attach a cover letter stating na nagtry kang kumuha ng NBI pero due to covid nagkaroon ng delay,pakita mo lang tlaga ung mga proof na kumuha ka ng NBI sa date after ng ITA.then mention there na You will attached the NBI once you obtain it as soon as possible. If you're really worried about the time frame,you can still get NBI naman. ang magiging problema lang is kung magka ITA ka ng 6-10 months after the NBI, panigurado hihingan ka parin ng CO ng panibagong NBI. so mas madedelay ung application mo.

Hi. Dapat po bago mo iterminate ang number na ginagamit sa bank, ichange mo muna sa new AU no., or unlink it. Pwde mo naman gamitin ang OTP card na bigay ng bank mo nun nag open ka..
