Yes. Upload mo na lahat para pag binalikan ka nila ay with ITA na rather then irequest nila at maprolong lang yung pagwait mo sa ITA

Salamat po for confirming! Since offshore po ako and no spouse, ano po yung mga iuupload? I assume yung English and Skills Assessment? Anything else pa po ba?

@wenwerwu
Hi po, naka receive din po ako ng VIC Invitation ngayon, tanong ko lang po kung ang pinasa nyo lang na documents ay:
A copy of the bio page of your passport.
If applicable, a current and valid English test result.
If applicable, a current and valid Skills Assessment in your nominated occupation as stated in your SkillSelect EOI.
If you have claimed earnings in your ROI, evidence of your employment in Victoria (current employment contract, position description, payslips for the most recent 4 weeks and your most recent superannuation statement showing transaction history).
Tnx

Yes. Yan lang. Saka ipasa mo na lahat. Ako nun kasi may ITA ng SA so nagask pa sila ng proof na icancel ko. 2 weeks ago pa yun pero hanggang ngayon wala silang response/approval. Buti na lang nainvite ako sa 189. Nailodge ko na at lahat ang 189, wala pa rin outcome yung Vic190 ๐ ๐ ๐

Tagal din nila mag approve pala! Sige po salamat for the info! Nagupload na ako haha naexcite eh! Buti nagka-189 kayo, better option yan!

So may unique question po ako haha!
Sa Skills Assessment ko kasi, yung most recent employment ko during that time sinama ko sa assessment kasi gusto ko magclaim ng points for it.
During that time and after receiving the outcome, ang naassess lang is 3 months, since 3 months palang ako sa work by the time I submitted my application. Pero nagstay pa ako dun sa work na yun until maka 1 year para makaabot sa 3 year bracket for 5 points.
Would this cause confusion sa Victoria Nomination? Like hahanapan kaya ako ng proof since yung nasa Skills Assessment ko is 3 months pero yung nasa EOI ko is 1 year? Thank you!

Hindi nila yan ikakalito. Kasi alam naman nila proseso ng skills assessment that your current job included in the assessment is only assessable up to the same day you submitted the assessment.
Also, any proof of career episodes is only needed at the visa lodgment stage not on the nomination stage unless requested by them.
Two scenarios once you are in the visa lodgment stage already:
1. If you are still with the same employer up to present, it's better to ask for a new employment reference with job description signed and timestamped more recently before lodging your visa, as solid proof that you never left the employer.
2. Otherwise, if you are no longer with the employer, you still need to ask for a new employment reference, but it has to state the end date of your tenure with them.

Sa mga offshore po na approved na yung nomination application with Victoria, aside sa passport, English, and Skills Assessment, may hiningi pa ba sila na other documents?
And in terms of duration, gaano katagal bago niyo nareceive yung approval?

Thanks po for confirming! Bale tama po ba -- inadd niyo as additional documents yung English and Skills Assessment dun sa application niyo, then after 14 days, approved na? And hindi po ba sila nag reach out at all for additional inquiries?
Also din po pala, after approval, gaano po katagal bago niyo nareceive yung ITA from DHA?

Yes po, additional documents yung English at Skills assessment kasi nagsskip talaga sa part na yun during submission. After 14 days approved na po, no additional inquiries.
After approval, nareceive din agad yung ITA from DHA, 1 min. lang pagitan ng dalawang emails na yun.

Upload them. Dont wait for VIC to contact you. Sige ka, baka mag contact nga yan sayo pero rejection letter na, dahil hindi mo inupload evidence of partner points you are claiming for.

If I were you, I upload it. There's no harm in uploading it in advance, at the same time they are required to support your claimed points. Remember, CO is not obliged to ask for supporting documents and may decide immediately after reviewing your docs.

Interestingly, nag tanong ako sa FB groups about their nomination approval experiences; ang dami sa kanila na passport lang ang inupload AT WALA NG IBA.
Mukhang ganun yung situation kung offshore (no claims for earnings) + single ka (no partner evidence).
