For me and my husband, 2 weeks (after submission and payment) lang tas lumabas na assessment.
Yung sakin, may pinaupload na extra docs (SSS na screenshot).
Tas after 2 days, finalized na din yung status ko tas sinend na din ang outcome letter.
Fast Track pala yung samin.

For online payments, most banks allow you to change the limit. Better check (or call) your bank baka pwedeng iincrease yung payment limit via online.

Maximum time it will take them is 3 months. Once we submit applications for clients we don’t really pay much attention on the status but rather the length of time since we made submission. We always assume it will take as long as 3 months. If it comes early, happy days otherwise we wait until after 3 months to follow them up if no outcome has been provided.

Fast track of course isn’t the same timeline but we handle it the same way. We lodge, leave it alone and chase if it’s beyond the maximum timeline. Most often than not we don’t need to chase as outcome is usually out within the specified timeline EA provides.

Hello good day po.
Got some queries lang po before applying for EA MSA-RSEA.
I used my 1st job's project for 1 of my Career Episode, nag stay po ako sa company na yan for 9 months (2014). Now, regarding po sa requirement to prove my employment, meron na po ako Primary Document/s (Reference Letter, COE, and Project Clearance (Since 1 worked as project based)). For secondary documents meron lang po ako payslips, wala po ako mapoprovide na SSS/Philhealth/Pag-ibig since ndi po sila nag submit ng govt contribution. Ndi din po ako nabigyan ng BIR 2316 kasi ndi daw pasok ung salary ko sa taxable bracket that time..
My question is, can EA still use my CE to assess my skills and receive a positive outcome? If I don't give them enough secondary document/s, they may not count my 9 months as relevant experience,

Hello po! Pano po malalaman if positive yung naging outcome po? May nagemail kasi sakin and nagcongratulate. Baka po may sample kayo sa mga nakakuha ng positive outcome. Thank you!

Nag pasa ako ng CDR without requesting for relevant experience. Nagsubmit lang ako ng certificate of employment kasi binase ko yung ibang career episode ko sa project ko sa work, without the other documents required for the Relevant skilled employment assessment, COE lang. Di pa kasi ako naka 3 years work experience kaya di muna ako nagparequest ng Relevant skilled employment assessment.

Di ako mapakali kase matagal pa yun mag reply yung agent ko. Yung pangamba ko baka maghanap ng job description sa current work ko. Work procedure lng kasi binigay ko na may mga tasks namin sa company at hindi yun signed nga manager ko. Nahihiya kasi ako humingi ng job description kasi bago palang ako tapos ayaw kong malaman ng mga ka work ko na may plano ako umalis. Pwede po ba affidavit na may main duties ko tapos ipasign ko lng sa ka workmate ko?
