Hi ask ko lng po ilan average month para lumabas invitation?
I already had a positive assessment po and was able to submit my EOI last September 2023. I applied for 3 categories, 189 (65pts), 190(70pts) and Family sponsor(80pts) and until now wala pang e-mail na natatanggap. Thank you po!

Hi po, regarding employment section po sa visa lodgement. Nalipat po ako ng new work after receiving an invite last year. While lodging the visa, i-nadd ko na si new work ko sa employment history.

Okay lang po ba na i-No yung claiming points then Yes yung related to nominated position?

Need your insights po.
Thank you very much. 😊

what occupation? unfortunately, there is no average month for invitation. you wait, and wait, and wait... some people here have been waiting for almost a year.

what is the breakdown of your pts? while waiting for invitation, try to aim higher pts and max out every area. good luck po!

Thank you very much. 😊

afaik as long as you are still doing the same tasks from your previous work, you can continue claiming your current work. so yes - yes

schrodingers_cat · February 4

If not planning to claim points na po, would it be Safe to answer No-Yes (No to claiming points and Yes to related to nominated Occupation)?

Hi , can you share your points breakdown per criteria , or at least gain more points to increase chances of invitation. In this current settings ~85 to 90 will land you an invite plus hitting preferred attributes by each states you intend na applyan - High offshore experience ,superior english and or with skilled partner etc.

Hello po tanong lang po ulit kung paano niyo nirecord yung address history niyo, especially dun sa mga may permanent address sa province at the same time may nirerent sa city due to work/study? Medjo naguguluhan lang po lalo na sa dates na ilalagay.

Thanks po sa sasagot! 😊🙏🏻

Conboyboy · February 6

Bumagal ata grants recently? And so far mga march lang meron mga s56 /commencement emails. Hindi pa na hawakan ng IMMI yung april lodged visas. (Used to be 2-3 months before the expected grant meron na yan mga s56 and commencement).

Seems like theres a hard line on grants upto March 2024? Huhu

I think yung current address mo is where you currently reside, as in physically, or where you spend more of your time between the two addresses.

Okay po sir, pero much better po ba if yung consistent na address nalang sa NBI namin? In our case po yung permanent address sa province yung nakarecord sa latest na NBI namin e.

She/her po ako And I’m not sure, I try to keep to the rule na declare lahat ng documented so in this case I can’t say for certain. Pero as far as I know, the address history is for verification purposes lang naman, so I’m not sure if it matters na iba yung address sa NBI clearance and your current residence.

Hi po good morning! Sorry ma’am po pala hehe. Sensya po two more questions pa po sana.

Sa contact telephone details po ba need lagyan yung home phone at business phone? Mobile number lang po meron ako e.
Pag nakapaglodge na po ba and payment, pwede pa po ba mag-upload/attach ng documents? Currently, processing palang kami sa new NBI namin to match our current address for consistency.

Haha no worries.

Fill what you have. ‘Di naman required yung home phone and business number if wala ka ng mga yun.
As far as I know yes, dahil ang NBI clearance technically nirerequest yan ng case officer. You’re not necessarily required to provide it kaagad. My agent was also able to upload a new birth certificate for me after ng lodgement namin. So I would think allowed ng system na magattach ka pa rin kahit lodged na.

Better na may DIYer na mag-confirm na rin if gusto mo makasigurado

DIYer here. in our case, required attachment yung NBI kaya inattach namin lahat. pero may mga nabasa ako dito na later na nila sinubmit yung NBI. so either works naman, and if im not mistaken, may notes din sa immi regarding docs na di mo agad masasubmit
