yung friend ko naexpired ung pte exam nya tapos nagexam ulit sya. tapos ung bagong pte result un ung snubmit nya bago sya maglodge nung nov24 kasi nainvite sya nung oct6. ngayon, nakareceive sya ng outcome letter from immigration na nirefuse dahil hnd daw nasatisfy ung exam na before lodgment date. e kaso nagexam nmn sya bago mag lodge kasi nga maeexpired ung luma nya ng pte.
then mali ung lodgment date na inindicate nung assessor. oct21 daw ung lodgment pero nov24 namn tlaga. oct21 kasi ung retake ng pte pero hnd un ung lodgment.
ano po bang magandang gawin dito? ang mahal kasi nung appeal nasa 3k plus aud.

onshore ba yung friend mo kaya pwede sya mag appeal sa visa outcome? anyhow, ang tricky naman kasi meron akong nababasa sa mga fb groups na successful kahit nag retake ng PTE after naexpire yung docs. better to consult a migration agent to proceed.

yes po nagretake sya pte after invitation. pano kaya un pag refuse na visa nya, mag lodge na lang ult sya?? hnd pala pede ung appeal sa offshore. then kung option nya magstudent, hnd ba may factor un kasi previously nareject na sya sa skilled?

pag narefuse visa nya, uulitin nya ulit yung process sa very beginning - lodge uli sya ng new EOI and wait to be invited. Kung mag apply sya ng any other visa, need nya imention na nagkaroon na sya ng record of refusal sa previous visa application. Rejections can affect subsequent visa applications.

Sa palagay ko hindi naman, kaya lang next time na maglolodge sya (in case student or anothee skilled migrant, kelangan nya na ideclare na may previous visa refusal sya and he/she may be asked for reason of visa refusal) pero i think ok naman magsubmit ulit another eoi or if kaya naman magstudent ay go for it po.

hnhanap dn ba itong result ng skill assessment pag mag aapply na sa australia? may effect ba sa sahod or sa employment status kung naassess ka ni EA as technologist or as PE?

As long as I understand, wala po bearing ang stage 1 assessment, pero pag NER ka or Chartered is another credential na makakatulong when for ur career. Isa pa may mga states like Victoria or Queensland na required na registered ka for theses state to practice engineering.

You can apply NER or Chartered inside or outside Australia kasi purely industry based experience sya and not necessarily na may local (Aus) experience

Medyo ganito po yung case ko. Pero still waiting for the visa outcome. PTE expired on Nov 2021. Got invited Dec 2022. Nagretake po ako ng PTE nung Jan 2023 na (dahil hindi po ako aware sa clause nung DHA) and lodged the visa after.
Ano pong mas okay na gawin? I-withdraw ko nalang po ba yung visa application? Or magnotify po ako sa kanila ng incorrect answer? Given na hindi na po refundable yung visa application fee.

IDEAL ANSWER: Best to consult with a migration lawyer, for a more qualified feedback and your own peace of mind.
PERSONAL ANSWER: If I were in your position, I'll just face the situation by withdrawing my application at kakalimutan ko na yung binayad ko for the visa, since hindi naman refundable. Lalo pa't meron na kong nabasang proof of the same situation na na-refuse yung visa. Dagdag mo pa yung awareness of the criteria na dapat at the time of invitation valid yung English test ko. Also, I dont think notifying them would turn this around.
Hard truth, honest mistake, and harsh reality lang talaga sya. Now, I'd rather choose to not have visa refusal in my records and think of ways to move forward from this.

For this case, ano dapat ginawa nya? Dapat po ba nagretake na sya ng PTE before Nov 2021? Tapos update yung application nya?
If winithdraw nya yung application nya, start sya uli sa umpisa? EOI?

Kung nainvite ng Dec 2022, dapat nagretake ng PTE kahit a day before ng invite kasi importante na valid ang docs BEFORE getting an invite. Of course wala naman makakaalam ng invite rounds so ideal na a month before expiry mag take na.
Pag nawithdraw ang application, from the very beginning uli - start sa EOI and hintay mainvite kung kelan man

Hello,

Kaya awareness is incredibly important, DIY or not. Dapat may tracker ka ng mga documents mo, para alam mo alin malapit na mag-expire. Responsibilidad natin as applicants yan.
Sobrang unfortunate lang nung ganyan situation.
Pero yeah, in the end, the best is to consult someone qualified like a migration lawyer para legitimate yung feedback na makuha. Personal opinions lang rin naman makukuha nya dito sa forum.

so magiging a rule is a rule po siya? kahit po yung previous PTE result ay hindi naman naka-affect sa points claimed compared sa latest PTE exam na niretake?
pagkapo kase ninotify sila of the "incorrect answer" sabihin lang nila na invalid yung application noh

Most probably.
Again, para may peace of mind ka, just consult someone qualified. All the best!
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

it all boils down to the validity of the documents upon invite. Maraming nangyari na ganyan last year - nainvite sila pero expired docs. A lot of them just gave up the invite. Better to think about withdrawing it na kasi as @_sebodemacho said, having a record of refusal can potentially be problematic on future visa applications
