    Hello ask lang po regarding ANMAC.

    May experience po ako sa PH for 4yrs then sa SG sa Nursing Home for 2yrs and hospital na po ang current ko. Yung anzsco code ko magkaparehas ang PH and current experience ko dito sa SG.
    Okay lang po ba na di ko na isama yung sa Nursing home experience ko?
    Sabi po kasi ng iba na ibang application na daw po sa anmac yung NH kasi iba siya ng ANZSCO code.

    I don't think na chambahan ang Form 80. if DHA is asking you this, that means they want more information from you aside from the ones you already put in your immiaccount. I know some of the questions in the Form 80 are just repeats in your visa application, but they may also just want to double confirm your answers.

    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.

    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.
    Jan 12: PTE – Booked my wife’s PTE English Test for USD$ 291.60 (SGD$ 401.85). Her exam date was on Jan 20, 2023.
    Jan 20: PTE – It was my wife’s test day. The results came out on the same day. She got a Competent English result which is additional 5 points on my EOI for Partner’s Qualifications (English).
    Jan 21: EOI – I updated my NSW 190 EOI. I now have 75 points.

    Kung san po mas convenient ung location sa inyo. Pinili ko po sa Point medical, un xray nila ay sa lower floor radlink (2nd floor I think., I cannot remember exactly). No need appointment po,. After ng mga tests ay papadiretsuhin kayo sa lower floor then tapus n after nun.

    I can only speak for SATA AMK , ok naman mabilis din ako natapos, they will follow medicals required as per your health referral letter lang naman. Punta lang ng maaga prior to call time para makauna na sa pila.

    I can vouch for SATA AMK. Smooth ang process nila in terms of medical tests. Also, after 1 business day nareflect na sa immi yung result sakin. Maaga ka pumunta para in 1hr tapos ka na.

    Yung medical tests, depende sa nakalagay sa referral letter yata. Kasi yung ibang nagshare dito, di naman kami pare-parehas ng tests na ipinagawa. Mine required xray, egfr (kidney), hiv, visual acuity, and physical exam only.

    sa SATA AMK din kami. super smooth ang process lalo na kung maaga ka. andun narin mismo yung xray room nila. tip pala, if you go on a weekday, makakatipid ka ng 75sgd per head if i remember it correctly. pagweekends kasi meron silang surcharge. so for us family of 3, we went on a Monday.

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed.

    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 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.

    Maglodge ka muna ng appeal. Kelangan mo ng official letter of request from DHA:
    https://eservices.police.gov.sg/content/policehubhome/homepage/certificate-of-clearance-hub.html

    Pag approved na yang appeal mo, dun ka na sa step #2 - Apply foy Certificate of Clearance.

    Yung finger printing lang ang di ko sure kung paano pag offshore. Ipapa DHL mo yata pag ganyan. Nandyan na sa website buong guideline paano processing pag offshore.

    eGovPH is same as PhilSys ID? For PhilSys ID, need umuwi sa pinas for processing as per the SG embassy. FiN is not Phil Govt Issued Id daw.

    Hello, sa mga nag lodge na ng Visia ano po ginamit nyo for National Identity Card? Sabi nang agent hindi pwde UMID and EP (FIN).

    I used my PH National ID number (this one can be accessed in eGovPH app if you applied), and Foreign Ident No. in Singapore. Why naman hindi daw pwede ang FIN sa EP, e yun nga ang identity card na hinihingi lagi dito - yung din number ko sa driver's licence. So national identity siya... Yung mga kilala kong local, yung NRIC nila yun din reflected sa DL. Same lang dapat to us foreign workers.

    Thanks. Try ko yang eGovPH app. FIN di pwde for National ID but can be used as other identification poof.

    We used our FIN for that section in the visa application.

    That part is for any universal identification you may have from any country. FIN definitely qualifies as one of those. In the PH context, that is the National ID if you already got one. I believe, SSS and TIN may even qualify for that.

    Strange that your agent is not allowing FIN.

    eGovPH is same as PhilSys ID? For PhilSys ID, need umuwi sa pinas for processing as per the SG embassy. FiN is not Phil Govt Issued Id daw.

    Not sure about eGovPH. Di pa kami naka register dyan e.

    But yeah, definitely, because FIN is from another government, which is Singapore. And that section asks for all national IDs that you have globally.

    Anyway, just follow what your agent says. We're just sharing our own opinions, too. :D

    Ah before kasi, nag apply ako ng national ID talaga sa pinas. Naissue na sya last year (yung paper like haha). Ayaw ko naman isubmit yun sa DHA at ang panget. Bale eGovPH app is comparable sa Singpass dito. Andoon mga IDs mo. Kinuha ko lang sa eGovPH app yung screenshot ng ID ko with PCN# and hologram haha.

    Isubmit mo nalang UMID and FIN mo kung wala ka pang national ID. Unique naman yan. Medyo malabo agent mo. Hindi ko maunawaan bakit hindi pwede ang FIN ng singapore. Wala kasi talagang "Identity Card" per se dito sa SG unless citizen/pr ka di ba. Alam naman ng home affairs mga ganyan.

    That's right. Though, technically, yung identity card mo as a foreigner living in SG is your FIN na. NRIC lang tawag for citizen and PRs.

    @dvd17 Straightforward naman kasi yung section na yun sa visa application. Qualified ang SG FIN dun. Ang kaso mo ayaw ng agent mo. Dahil dyan, sabihin mo sa kanya ang isagot e "No", since wala ka pa rin naman yatang PhilSys ID.

    It's not even required to have one. The question is just implying "in case you got any identity card". Sundin mo na lang yung agent mo, kung hindi ka naman convinced, at ayaw mo rin naman sya i-convince. :D

    yung sakin ang nilagay ko is No. hindi ko nilagay yung FIN ko kasi nga Foreign Identity Number siya at di ko sure kung tatanggapin kasi nga di naman ako local. well yun lang naman ang personal interpretation ko. So ang nilagay ko lang are my birth certificate and driver's license numbers. wala naman naging issue.

    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.

    *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.

    Thanks sa lahat dito. Strongest National ID is yung PhilSys ID daw but wala ako so UMID will have to do. Ngayon issue naman sa blurred Birth Certificate. Then may PCC at medicals pa.
