Hi, paano po i-update yun EOI for employment para ma increase ang points? Kasi naka 3 years na ako as RN Aged Care and may skills assessment narin. Automatic dagdag points ba?
Then chineck ko din ulit yun tanong sa EOI, meron dun nakalagay sa Education if nag study daw ba ako sa regional. Sa ngayon kasi considered na regional na yun Richmond. Nung nag study ako, hindi pa. I tick as yes ko po ba yun kahit na hindi naman ako sa regional area nakatira at that time?
Salamat in advance sa sasagot po! God bless!

hello po, good day sa lahat.. meron sana po akong e tanong tungkol sa skill points claim ni dependent.
i am thinking, need similar skills kayo ni primary applicant to get skill points as dependent.
Been thinking about this din po.. i appreciate all of your help!

What would be the best move? Do I need to study and pass the PTE exam first? or I should do the skills assessment thru Engr's Australia? ano pong dapat unahin na procedure?
Note: I believe I can claim a 10-year work experience for EA's assessment.

Hello po. Sa mga work experience na hindi nclaim (marked as irrelevant sa EOI) kailangan rin po ba magprovide ng proof? Or required lang ang proof kapag cnlaim yung work experience? Thank you.

Hi KDOKait, one of the requirements for Engineers Australia's assessment is language assessment (i.e. PTE, IELTS or TOEFL). So you need to go for PTE first. I suggest you go through the MSA booklet for all the requirements para clear sayo. https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/sites/default/files/resource-files/2021-05/MSA_Booklet_March2020.pdf

Question po pala, yung age requirement ba is tinitignan at time of lodging of EOI o at time of applying for Visa na? I am thinking kasi na if age is checked at time of Visa application and considering na matagal ng invitation sa ngayon dahil Pandemic, possible na bumaba pa points mo.
Joined: Jul 24, 2017
points for age is affected while waiting for the invite.
This happened to me. Nabawasan ako ng 5 points dahil nasa boundary na ang age ko nung naglodge ako ng EOI. you will get a notification that your EOI has been updated.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
It is considered at time of invite. Your points are locked in once you get the invitation to apply for a visa

For adults and kids less than 2yo tapos everything is okay naman usually the day after pagcheck mo ng immiaccount mo nakalagay na ‘Health clearance provided’. But if Friday ka nagpamedical, Monday na nila ma-upload. If you have child 2yo up na may TB test mga 3-5 days pa.

You have 28 days to respond to the request. If you can’t provide the documents with this time period, make sure you communicate with them within that timeframe the reason why you won’t be able to provide the documents within the given timeline. They will usually wait (if your reason is valid) so don’t panic.
