Hello po, sa mga nagpa-assess po may questions lang po ako:
1 - Kailangan po ba ipa apostille or certify yung docs for vetassess? Or enough na po yung colored scanned copy?
2 - If wala pong payslips, enough na po ba yung COE following the template of vetassess?
And san po pwede makakuha ng ITR? Need po ba ito kunin from company or pwede po ba to irequest directly from BIR (tama po ba?) Makakatulong po ba yung mga sss at pagibig contributions and enough na po ba yung screenshot from website?
4- if icclaim po namin yung partner points. Magpapassess po ba ako(dependent) ng separate application sa vetassess? Or dapat po ba within 1 assessment po kami ng main applicant?
5- paano po kaya yung employment history if freelance lang po. Freelancer po kasi ako while my husband(main applicant) has full time work.
3 - If magsasubmit na po ng visa applications, may mga documents po ba na needed for apostille? Para isang lakaran na lang po.
Pasensya na po, medyo marami yung tanong. Thank you po sa sasagot 🙏

Anyone who recently got an outcome from VETASSESS? Curious about processing times now that things have eased a bit.

Question lang para dun sa mga hindi makapagprovide ng COE with JD, may alternative ba? Nabasa ko yung statutory declaration pero hindi ko sure if applicable siya sa case ko. I can provide my other proof of employment like contract and payslips
Employed pa din ako sa current company ko pero ayaw ko sana ipaalam yung plans ko sa HR and manager ko. Yung dating manager ko okay sana and nasabi ko din plans ko pero nagresign na. Hindi ko masabi sa current manager and HR ngayon kasi I’m due for a promotion this year, baka ipahold if malaman yung plans ko.

QUESTION LANG PO!
B.S. Comp. Science po course ko, pero naging Graphic Design at Photo Retoucher/Editor ako for alamost 10 years na. At balak ko rin pong mag TESDA for House Keeping. Pwede kaya akong makapasa sa pagkuha ng Australian Visa 189 or iba pang working visa? Salamat sa sasagot.

Yes it’s possible. All depends on the relevance of your qualification and if it’s equivalent to an AQF bachelor degree.
Joined: Jun 14, 2022
Ano pong AQF bachelor degree? At saan ko po iyon mababasa? Salamat.

You will have to learn how to research things on Google. Just typing "VETASSESS" will lead you to the website, which has tons of info about skills assessment and pricing. Same process with looking into AQF and qualifications. Where you get your qualifications and experience assessed depends on your nominated occupation.

Tama si @athelene Google is your friend.
I suggest na check mo muna sa Skilled Occupation List kung aling occupation ang pwede mong i-nominate since you mentioned several occupations in your first post. Tapos punta ka sa website ng assessing body for your selected occupation to see kung ano ang requirements for a successful skills assessment. From there tignan mo kung pwede ka mag do-it-yourself na application or kung kailangan mo ng migration agent to guide you.
Ito yung link sa Skilled Occupation List https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Just be careful with Google. Not all information you get will be the most updated unless you refer to the assessing authority website or immigration website….although not all you can find on the website. We agents will still refer to our professional library to access the legislations and processes as that’s the most accurate source.

Ask ko lang po regarding EOIs. Nakapag-lodge ako ng EOIs nung December 2021 with a skills assessment with my first 2 employments. Nitong May 2022, may new employment na ako, bale 3rd employment.
Question -- do I need to include it sa EOI? I actually don't have any plans of claiming points for it, since sobrang malayo ako sa next bracket. Baka need siya in terms of formality? Or wala namang effect yun when I lodge my visa application or when I do my ROI?

Hello po. Processing requirements for Visa 189. Ask ko lang po, yung Statement of Service po ba na pina-sign niyo sa past employers, kayo na po nag lagay ng details/info and pina-sign niyo nalang po sa kanila? Or kung ano nalang po yung default template ng COE (Certificate of Employment) po nung company, yun na din po ang ipinasa niyo?

@pikpakboom Ako na naglagay ng info using the Statement of Service template, tapos pina-sign ko na lang sa HR/former manager. Note that there's a chance they'll refuse to sign your letter and instead just give you a company-approved COE (likely generic). Depends sa company policy talaga. But I suggest you offer your letter first, kasi that's easier for everyone. If 'di pumayag and kulang ang info sa binigay, you'll have to supplement your documents. This thread is useful for that scenario: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/319899#Comment_319899> Best of luck!

Thank you so much po! Gumawa na nga lang po ako ng template din kasi yung isa kong past employer, yung default COE format po ang binigay tapos nilagyan lang po ng “for visa application”. Tanong ko lang po baka alam niyo na rin or personal experience niyo, meron po ba kayong past employer na yung former manager niyo ay wala na sa doon sa company? Mag babasa basa rin po ako sa thread na binigay niyo. Thank you 😊

Good day po. Silent Reader po dito sa pinoyau
to give a background to my question ito po ang timeline ng aking work experience

I am planning to pursue Civil Engineering Draftsperson (312211), ma count parin po ba ang experience ko kung say in 2 years from now, tsaka palang ako makaka balik sa civil structural line of work? current job ko po kasi is primarily Architectural.
although hindi ko po isasama sa assesment ng VETASESS ung current Work ko, required parin po ba ako na i-submit ung COE from the said work?
Maraming salamat po and God bless.

Hi, I just want to hear your thoughts about this visa 500 post-track.
I have 3+ years of Structural Engineer experience in a multi-national projects here in PH.
I wanted to pursue a post-graduate diploma + adv. diploma course in CE/SE in AUS and hopefully would apply for a 485 visa (graduate work stream) 2 years after. Upon applying for 485, I must nominate an occupation on MLTSSL which both civil eng'g draftsperson and structural engineer are listed.
Question will be - which occupation should I push through for an EA assessment considering being practical and the job security in the next years?

Confusing yung degree mo. post grad dip then mag downgrade ka to adv diploma? Nakapackage ba to?
why not continue your postgrad dip to master's? You'll be eligible to apply for a 485 Post-Study Work stream, no need for skills assessment.

Hi everyone, asking for a friend:
Sa VETASSESS po ba, impossible to be assessed if you have education that is not relevant to your profession/occupation? For example if an Insurance Agent, and say malayo talaga yung bachelors degree. Is this like zero chance?
Sa ANZSCO description po kasi mayron minsan na "At least five years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualification" or something to this effect, pero does VETASSESS actually substitute years of experience sa formal education? Salamat po.
