  Sa pinas na work po ba yan or sa SG? if sa SG baka mahalungkat mo pa yung IRAS mo kasi wala naman copy yung HR nun. Worst case, try mo if makakapag-bigay yung bank mo ng history ng transactions mo showing yung credit ng income mo.

  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.

  My points breakdown:
  Age: 25
  English Language Ability: 10
  Education: 15

  *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.

  Sa Pinas po na work ito, na contact ko yung HR, di complete yung mabibigay niya sa akin na 2316, 3yrs out of 5yrs na lang na retrieved. Yung payslips naman, hindi na din talaga ma retrieved.

  Oh I see.. sa case ko kasi dto sa SG , may employer ako na nagclose na, wala din ako payslips at IRAs since ung sahod ko that time hindi taxable. Ang sinubmit ko ay Statutory Declaration, spass approval at cancellation letter pati na din bank statement ko (though by cash ko narereceived ang sahod), sinabi ko n lng na part ng salary ko ay dinedeposit ko sa account ko.

  I think for u pagawa ka n lng ng salary certificate from HR. may nababasa ako about dun sa fb group. Mostly indians at pakistan nakkita ko na nag ssubmit ng ganun.

  Good day po. Ask lang po ako ng advice tungkol sa situation po namin:

  1. Feb 18, 2023 - Nag-apply po kami (husband, wife, two daughters aged 15 and 11 noon) ng 491 visa.
  2. Feb 23, 2023 - Biometrics
  3. March 02, 2023 - Medical ko at ng dalawang bata. Si misis ay hindi po nakuhanan ng X-ray dahil buntis po pero yung ibang tests ay ginawa po. May letter po OB gyne na not advisable for chest X-tray hanggang ika 24th week
  4. March 13, 2023 - Nag-notify po ako thru immi account change of circumstances re: pregnant si misis
  5. June 7, 2023 - Natapos ang chest X-ray ni misis
  6. July 12, 2023 - request for more info
  7. Aug 11, 2023 - request for more info
  8. Sept 7, 2023 - gave birth, baby boy
  9. Sept 8, 2023 - Nag-notify po ako thru immi account change of circumstances re: di na pregnant si misis
  10. Nov 9, 2023 - nakakuha ng passport si baby boy at bago birth cert before nov 9

  Nakita ko po dito sa https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/change-in-situation/had-a-baby tungkol sa dapat gawin kung may unfinalized application. Eto po yang mga hindi ako sure:

  1. Ang status po ng application namin ay “Further Assessment”. Ibig sabihin din po ba nito ay “unfinalized” since wala pa pong decision?
  2. Mai a upload ko po ba yung nafill out na Form 1022 at scanned copies ng birth cert at passport ni baby?

  Salamat po.

  Hello, ang ibig sabihin po ng Further Assessment ay in-aassess na ng DHA yung mga info na sinubmit niyo or yung mga hiningi nila sa inyo. Ibig sabihin gumagalaw na yung application niyo at tinitignan na ng DHA.

  Pwede parin kayo mag-attach ng additional documents like Form 1022 dun sa tab na "Attach documents." Mas maige na mai-upload niyo na yan para di na kayo ma-s56. Isabay niyo narin yung Form 1229 which is yung child consent form kasi may iba na nakakakuha rin ng s56 at hinahanap yan.

  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.

  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.

  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.
