  @marcbesy may nareceive din kami email just a day after lodging our
  Visa, they are asking us to submit Australian Federal Police(AFP) Check and of course Medical Exam. But we don’t know why they’re asking us to submit AFP check since we never lived nor visited Australia. Does anyone had experienced same?

  kindly recheck your application, baka kasi may nalagay/na-include kayo na you stayed in Aus. Ano po ba yung visa type na nilodge nyo? 189 or 190. Kasi sa 190, currently yung naka receive ng invite via 190 mga onshore hence they’re asked to provide AFP clearance.

  Sa akin, I just specified the state na gusto ko applyan. Pwede rin namang ilagay mo lang eh ANY, but I think mas okay kung specific sa state. Pwede ka naman gumawa ng multiple EOIs, so no problem Good luck!

  the ACT labour market and confirm that you are satisfied that you are employable in
  Canberra. Please note: you may not be eligible to apply for positions within the

  Hello po!!
  Meron na ako ITA for 190 NSW! Praise God!:) just want to ask about the application, kelangan ba every category meron ka i-upload ng supporting documents? Or pwede lang yung may asterisk? The important ones? Kasi meron dun phone bills and electricity bills but living under my parents pa ako so not under my name. Hehe

  Also, about yung english test (PTE) ko, nag expire na nung dec 2022, but i understand valid sya up to 3 yrs, so does that mean i have to put a tick dun sa check box where they ask “Are there any expired documents” or no need?

  Salamat for all your help!
