VETASSESS reached out to me for more documents, does this mean po ba malapit na kaya ang results or? Hope anyone can share their experience.

I'm still waiting for them to give feedback on my application, which I lodged on Oct 12 Sa mga familiar, ask ko lang rin, from the time mag reach out sila for additional documentations needed, how long usually from the time you submit until the time you receive the assessment results?

After maisubmit ung requested documents, it took 5 mos. to received the outcome. Full skill assessment ito ha, kapag renewal or reassessment naman 6wks lang accdg. sa website nila.

Mine is also for renewal lang pero it took 14 weeks (3 months+) bago ko mareceive outcome. Kinulit ko pa sila sa email and calls. Marami din daw kasi backlogs vetassess kaya natatagalan process.

@keruchan sana sakin din abutin ng 2 weeks lang, nagpareassessed din kasi ako nitong Nov. 16 then nghingi naman sakin ng CV lang...
@Janry walang bayad gumawa ng Skillselect account. Eto yung link:
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect
Pero pag nainvite ka ng state saka ka lang magbabayad ng visa application 4200+ aud na yata ngayon... Syempre di lang yun, may mga requirements ka pa na kailangan isubmit like medicals, police clearance... Explore mo yang link na yan basa-basa ka lang....
May expiration yung skill assessment at english test, valid sya for up to 3yrs.

I already emailed them, and they’ve asked me to provide explanation note. Baka po meron ditong may format ng explanation note. They already give me deadline which is 15 days from today, dec 3. Meron pa kasing isang requirement about sa TOR. Thanks

May naktry na ba magsubmit ng COE na meron nakalagay na purpose? Sobrang nahihirapan ako dito kasi ayaw ko ipaalam sa HR and manager ng current company ko yung plans ko for migration since they will take it personally. They usually ask the purpose for request and if I say it’s for business loan/other reason, they will put it in the COE. Is that okay to use?
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Perhaps ask if they can just say - for any legal purpose and tell them you will going to use it for both loan and application for further studies so best to make it generic

You can follow standard format of an affidavit and just have it notarized.

Guys anu ba ibig sabihin nito nabasa ko lng kac sa fb group na Visa 494.
"Finally my turn for some good news!
I lodged my 494 regional employer sponsored visa on august 9th 2021 (about 14 months). Yesterday afternoon I got the approval email!!!
Retail manager, QLD, and ON SHORE! Hang in there everyone 💛"
Inaply nya sa immi na may visa sya? At naaprove? Tama ba? Di ko alam ang pasikot sikot sa Visa 494. Ang alam ko lng kailangan may employer na sponsor para makapunra dun.

It means nag-apply sya for a 494 visa sa Immi and na-approve yung application niya, in other words, na-grant siya ng visa. And yes, tama ka na ang 494 na officially called "Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional" ay need ng sponsorship ng employer sa regional na area ng Australia.
