  Hello, pwede niyo po i-attach ang Marriage Certificate.

  

  MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

  Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

  ---

  2020

  Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
  Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
  Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
  Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
  Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
  May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
  May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
  Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
  Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
  Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
  Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
  Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

  My points breakdown:
  Age: 25
  English Language Ability: 10
  Education: 15
  State Nomination: 5
  Years of Experience: 15
  Total: 70 points

  *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.

  2022

  Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.
  Jul 17: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
  Jul 20: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 8.0 R: 9.0 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
  Jul 25: EOI – I received a notice that my EOI is expiring on August 23, 2022, so I had to resubmit it.
  Aug 23: EOI – My Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect expired after 2 years.
  Aug 25: EOI – I submitted my new Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

  My points breakdown:
  Age: 25
  English Language Ability: 10
  Education: 15
  State Nomination: 5
  Years of Experience: 15
  Total: 70 points

  *Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.

  Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).

  Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.
  Dec19: – I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.
  Dec 30: PTE – I took the PTE Academic English Test. My test results came out the same day: L: 84 R:84 S: 90 W: 75. I didn’t get the scores that I needed to achieve Superior English.
  Dec 31: PTE – I booked another PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 361.28). My exam date was on Jan 09, 2023.

  Jan 10: EOI – I lodged my EOI for NSW Visa 190 and was able to reach 70 points again to qualify for an invitation. By this time, the minimum points for all occupations were already removed by NSW.

  hello po. possible ba ma refuse ang visa kapag 95 points nasa EOI pero 90 lang pala dapat.

  For example sa software engineer hindi pala dapat counted first 2 years na work exp pero nalagay sa EOI so baka incorrect yung extra 5 points.

  Pwede pa bang ma-correct yan kahit naka lodge na ang Visa?

  Samedt. Pero, kaka lodge lang ng EOI at nakita ko kinalculate ni agent na dapat 2 years deduction sa ACS. Hopefully, may makakasagot here na naka experience dito.

  yes po, overclaiming of points is grounds for refusal. ndi na din po maeedit pag nainvite na.

  Although depende po yan sa subclass na inaapply. I think ACS po ang assessing body ng software engineer ano, so if 190 NSW/ACT ang inapplyan usually nagdededuct cla ng points and magkacount lang experience after deemed skilled date. I'm not sure about other states' criteria. Pero sa 189, points are counted after ng degree provided equivalent sa AQF standard.
