    Hi sis @katlin924, tamang tama lang ang pag reply mo hehehe.
    Knina bumalik ako sa Bank.
    Nirequest ko to reprint sa paper nila with BPI header.
    Kasi as in sa plain paper lang nila pinrint yung bank statement sis.
    So buti pumayag yung Bank Manager at hindi na ako pinagbayad ulit.
    Inexplain ko kasi kailangan colored yung paper hehehe

    Ngayon, okay na sis ang Bank Statement namin. Alam na na galing sa BPI hehehe.

    Thanks sis :)

    70 points si hubby sis @katlin924.
    ang bilis nga sis. kaka EOI lang namin ng Friday (jan 18), tapos nasama agad kami sa next batch of invitation ng Monday (Jan 21).

    Pero may mas mabilis pa sis dito sa forum. parang 1 day lang after nya magEOI then na invite agad to apply. D ko lang matandaan yung name hehe

    pero ngayon sis, tumagal na ang allocation ng CO.

    kelan magEOI si bf mo sis?

    @solidjeff - if i may reply..
    - check the link above/header/banner "Accredited Schools"
    - based on experience, it somehow affects ang assessment ng education qualification mo.. (example: Philippine bachelor degree from section 2 or 3 schools, MIGHT be assessed as AU diploma level).. therefore you can only claim diploma points = 10 pts..
    - other factors in the assessment, course content, your grade, and professional registration/license (PRC)...

    I don't know what made you say, you feel a bit insecure BUT if you read the posts here and if you have calculated your total points - you will have an idea whether mabigyan ka ng invitation or not... :)

    hi po!
    bago lang ako dito sa forum, and nagtitingin ng informations..
    very helpful po itong site nyo..

    may tanong din po...
    we have been here in Australia for 2 years via 176 visa..
    tanong ko lang po, may nagsabi (friend) kasi na initially, temporary resident lang kami..tama po ba?
    kasi ang alam ko kapag 176 is Permanent resident na, kaso di ko po sure..
    so ang iniisip namin, may kailangan ba kaming gawin after 2 years stay dito?
    or ok na kami, and just have to wait for 4 years to get the citizenship..

    @Mackoy1012 - i am very sure na visa 176 is a PR visa..
    so who ever said that it is not.. dont believe them.. hahah

    http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/176/

    Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) Visa (Subclass 176)
    What does this visa let me do?

    This visa allows you and any secondary applicants included in your visa application to live as permanent residents in Australia.

    @lock_code2004

    thanks for that po..
    yun nga ang alam ko, pero ewan ko ba kng bakit nabanggit nung kakilala ko un.
    so meaning ba, maghihintay na lang kami ng 2 more years (di ba 4 years ang citizenship) for teh citizenship? wala na ba ako dapat i-inform na agency dito (like DIAC)?

    Definitely yes... I am just not sure how rigid EA's standard is and what are their criteria for skills assessment.

    Just to give you an idea, when we submitted before sa CPA Australia - I heard previously there were a lot of people given negative assessment. Not just in Pinas but globally.

    I guess it is really up to you naman if you want to proceed or not at this point. And it is also up to you to assess as to how strong is your skills assessment application.

    goodluck!

    @pnoy_ano -
    - as of today the visa fee is 3060aud.. that is the standard application fee regardless how many are in the application (you, spouse and dependents).. same for visa 189 or 190

    - The accredited clinics in each country are listed in the website:

    http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/panel-doctors/

    - Price is different per country

    @lock_code2004
    Thanks Lock_code2004.

    you mean the $3060 charge is inclusion of spouse & child/ren? In the link that I've read, 1st installment is $3060, 2nd Installment with amount of $4250 for Dependents -> Any dependants (included in application) 18 yrs or over with less than functional English.

    Appreciate you & other replies that may enlighten my queries.

    Thanks :)

    yes.. 3060 is one time payment for the whole family included in the application..

    2nd installment is only if you cannot satisfy english requirements for dependent (18yrs old up)..there are many ways to satisfy that..one would be, providing cert of english as medium of instruction from their college.. or taking IELTS exam with score of 4.5..

    hello guys!

    I called DIAC several times with regards to my question "How would you classify if a work experience is closely related to your nominated occupation"? Unfortunately, nobody can give me a definite answer. I asked 2 different agents on different occasions. I also emailed DIAC about this, but I received no reply.

    But I do have a problem, binasa ko ulit yung assessment letter ng assessing body ng occupation ko. Although positive ang result for the skills and qualification, naka-indicate din sa letter na NO/NIL experience ako sa occupation na yun. Pero after that, may clause na last say pa rin ang DIAC kung ika-count nila ang job experience ko na nilagay ko when inassss nila ko. Now. I am totally confused kung itutuloy ko pa ang application kung madedeny lang din naman. Kailangan ko po kasi yung 5 points to meet the minimum.

    I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance.

    @honeybunny - how come hindi masagot ng DIAC ang question mo?

    this is what they have in their released guidelines before:

    "For the purpose of awarding points, the department considers skilled employment in the nominated occupation or a closely related occupation will comprise at least 20 hours employment per week. In determining whether an applicant’s skilled employment is closely related to their nominated occupation, the department will take into consideration the occupations within one unit group classified under Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO)."

    yan po ba ang hinahanap nyo?
    can you elaborate your details (nominated occupation at ano ang mga work exp nyo)?

    @honeybunny - nevermind my previous questions.. nabasa ko na ung history ng questions mo.. and i guess nasagot ko na rin with the same answer..

    here is my point, kung hindi nag-aassess ng kung ilan ang related/closely related work experience ang assessing body mo, then wala talagang choice but to give the decision to DIAC's CO..

    - if your work experience COE+ Job description is matching with the definition of ANSZCO, then walang issue.. you can check it by yourself..
    - if you have big doubts about your work exp versus the definition of ANSZCO, then that is really a big problem..

    hi lock code thank you for your prompt reply. I dont know kung bakit hindi nila nasagot. Maybe it's the way i structured my question? Pero nagbigay ako ng example. Bahala daw ung assessing body, yung assessing body tinanong ko din bahala daw ung DIAC :(

    Yes, that is precisely my point. They are under the same unit group of ANZSCO code which is pharmacist. Industrial pharmacist nga lang hindi retail but they are under the same group. Nadeduce ko na din na bahala na nga talaga ang CO na maghahandle ng case ko. Medyo apprehensive lang ako kasi it's my father who will pay for all of these. It's not my money.

    Here is another info from DIAC:

    "Generally, applicants will be able to request an opinion about their skilled employment claims from the relevant assessing authority when seeking their skills assessment. For further information about this process, applicants should contact the relevant assessing authority. See: www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm

    The decision to award points for skilled employment remains with of the departmental case officer."


    - For sure alam ng DIAC kung nagbibigay ba ng opinion ang assessing authority mo..
    - Kung may communication/record ka from them na nagsasabi na DIAC na ang bahala, you can provide that sa DIAC CO incase na magtanong sila..
    - just make sure na pulido ang mga docs mo COE+JD, other supporting docs payslip+ITR

    para hindi ka nmn masyadong mabahala, i'll give you an example: meron din mga ganyang case sa mga Accountants, hindi sila na-assessed ng work exp before, pero they claimed points based on what they believe is correct, nagka CO, wla nmn issues.. and visa grant na sila ngaun..
