naginvite sila last year nung biglaang naginvite ang immi ng offshore candidates. Though once lang nangyari yun kasi back to both offshore/onshore sila after that invite - 85 pts na uli minimum. August ata nangyari ung 65 pts invite.

FINALLY GOT MY GRANT! (SUBCLASS 189 - PERMANENT)
OCTOBER 6 INVITEE
NO AGENT - OFFSHORE

From planning, dreaming, english exam reviews, sitting in the PTE Room at Trident Tower in makati, gathering of docs and submission for skills assessment. To NBI Appointments, medical in NHS to waiting game! It’s a 4-year journey (including planning)!

Thank you po sa forum na ito. Na naging tambayan for the last couple of years. Journey to BM and Citizenship naman! See you on the next threads!

Few Tips!

I FRONTLOADED all requirements after lodging. Gaya ng mga nababasa ko dito sa forum. Hehe. Meaning, I uploaded all pertinent documents even without C.O. requesting them. These include NBI Clearance and Medicals. After lodging, I immediately booked an application to NBI and had my Medical scheduled at NHS Makati (since my preferred date of medical is available in their clinic) (Other clinics where you can get your medicals done if you’re in Manila are IOM and St. Lukes). I understood that these are time-sensitive docs that will expire in a year. But, as for me, at least for me, I don’t mind renewing my NBI again nor having my medicals again, before it actually expires. Costly, but incomparable with the benefits afterward. Anyway, this is for my own sake also, on the health side. In my experience, FRONTLOADING is effective. My application goes from “Received” to “Finalised”. NO Case Officer CONTACT, REQUEST, WHATSOEVER. But, guys, still.. do this at your own risk.

*I also submitted Form 80 and 1221. Even without CO asking for it. I submitted these, right after my lodgement/payment where the attachment prompt is shown. I uploaded these under ‘Other Documents’.

*Check all forms EOI, Immiaccount, 80, 1221, and others GAZILLION times before submitting. I remember myself checking all these every time and still finding something erroneous that I didn’t notice from the first checks. Have someone check it too, with fresh eyes.

*Always make your evidence/documentation like passports, and IDs at hand while filling up forms, always check and compare the numbers that are being asked. (e.g. Passport Nos, ID Nos, Addresses, etc)

*Always read the question marks icon for more information.

***Always include your MIDDLE NAME on your FIRST NAMES. **Every single time when you fill up something concerning applications in Au. Buti na lang nabasa ko agad to sa forum, nung may nagbrought up, at buti na lang nasa EOI stage pa lang ako ang waiting pa sa invitation kaya na-edit ko pa.

DIY IS SO SO SO DOABLE. Just equip yourself with knowledge about the visa and the processes. I’ve been reading all these since 2018 to date. I invested my time to study the flow and corners of these processes. It took me just a couple of months to get the job done. Submitted EOI September 11, 2022 and now, visa was granted at 11 April 2023. EXACTLY 7 months from my EOI submission to DHA. Slowlyyyyy but surely.

Experiences from other forum mates are very very very helpful as well. Thank you for sharing your journey and I am one of those who benefited from it. DIY is doable for those who have simple cases like me. For those who have complex cases, consult registered migration agents/lawyers.
