Hello, another question po. Dito po ba sa Bank statements, need rin na send yun credit card statement dahil nandun po ang everyday transactions namin?
Posts: 1,429Member, Moderator

With all that is in the dropdown , provide as much as possible po if meron lang naman , major is yung tax returns and latest 6 months full bank statements , for super annuation in PH is yung monthly contributions from Pag -ibig /SSS , in other countries naman is optional naman sya if OFW po
For bank statements yes you can provide a credit card statement , best is may residential address yung statements to show your offshore /onshore residence eligibility

Hello po, @Ozdrims baka rin po alam niyo. Nung nainvite kami, yung eoi namin yung previous job po na naka until current date. Which is yun din ang naassess sa acs. Kaso po few months ago lumipat ako ng company, pero di ko na inupdate yung eoi. Ano po bang ilalagay sa form ng ITA? Dapat ko po bang isama yung bagong work or fixed nalang sa dati?

If your not claiming points for the current work ,and is not included in the assessing body assessment , do not include it in the experience claims .
However you have to update NSW on the end date of your previous work and provide yung evidence of each claim.
Is better to under claim rather than the latter.
Is updating nung changes affect your EOI total points?
Also your EOI is frozen and cannot make changes at this point.

I think it will depend on the tests that were done for your 476. If it's the same as what is required for 190, then yes it can be considered.

Hello. Anong mode of payment po ang ginamit niyo sa pag-lodge ng visa? Ano po recommended? Debit card lang po kasi ang meron ako sa ngayon and hindi po abot ng BPI ko yun one-time transaction na babayaran. Ang mahal kasi ng visa fee. Thank you po.

Not mandatory unless it is listed in the required docs. Form 80 is normally required for onshore applicants. But if you want, you can upload it there is no issue. In both cases, it will not affect your application or fast-track its processing time.

Hi! Thank you. Magfront load na sana ako ng Form80 and then while answering item #17, nakasulat dun to include "places you resided for_ study_/work". Then it dawned on me na nung naglodge ako ng visa, hindi ko pala nalagay sa address history yun mga dorms na tinirhan ko nung college. Sobrang obob moment lang talaga. Yun permanent address and addresses lang while working ang nalagay ko.
Kailangan ko ba magupdate ng details and magnotify na merong incorrect answer (see image below)? Or hayaan ko na lang na hindi na-include yun address history ko nung nagcollege? Kasi weekly pa rin naman ako umuuwi nung sa permanent address ko

If I were you, I would keep it simple. Since you reside only in the Philippines, you should have only one official residential address, i.e. your "home". Moving from one place to another inside the country does not change your residential address (dorms address is not your registered address, right?).
Address history, then, consists of the places where you have officially resided. This is IMO.
Di po kasi ako nagsubmit ng Form 80, so if still in doubt, you can raise your concern in the other discussion topic here: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/890/form-80/p1

I agree. And the form is just asking for the last 10 yrs. Assuming your uni days would still be covered, I think it's fine not to declare the dorm address for simplicity.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

hi, happy new year to all
question po, kapag ongoing na assessment ng pre-invite for 491 NSW, possible pa rin bang ma-invite sa ibang state like VIC or WA for 190?
Kasi yun current job namin wala sa regional ng NSW, meron lang sa sydney, kaya nag-iisip kami ng better approach for this. Feel free po to give your insights and/or perspective, or advice

Yung PDOS is for PR only (189/190 visa) so no need. Yung OEC naman as far as I know, needed na if may work in AU.
