    Hi po. Jake here ๐Ÿ‘‹ working dito sa SG sa construction industry. Pwede po ba na ang magsign sa statement of service ko ay not a supervisory or managerial position? Balak ko po na ipapirma sa coworker ko na halos parehas kami ng job task and position but ang pinagkaiba lang ay may "executive" na nakalagay sa job title ko at "senior" naman sa kanya. Mas mataas siya isang level sa akin. Paexpire na po kasi work pass ko next year and iniiwasan ko na malaman ng HR or boss ko sa project site na nagbabalak akong magapply PR sa ibang bansa. Nagwoworry ako na baka makaapekto ito sa renewal ng pass ko if sakaling madelay or malas ang application ko. Asking po dito sa thread baka may same experience and tinanggap ni Vetassess yung SOS. Maraming salamat po sa sasagot.

    Ang alam as long as nauna syang mahire sayo ayos lang, pero baka magfall to under Statutory Declaration magbabayad ka nga lang sa notary public kasi di naman sya ung manager mo. Better have a manager na kakilala mo na pwede magsign for you, else magstat dec ka na lang.

    Yung current employer ko i just asked for a simple Cert of employment with these info:
    1. Company name
    2. Full name of employee
    3. Working hours
    4. Position
    5. Salary

    What i remember ang wala lang is job desc kasi mahahalata na hehee. So sabi ko for tourist visa.

    Apart from that gumawa ako stat dec with complete info lalo na yung job description. I added postings from job ads ano JD ng position as attachment. (Indirectly saying ano JD ng hina hire nila with similar post).

    Hi @Conboyboy maraming salamat sa pagshare ng experience mo. Noted and baka try ko rin magrequest gaya ng ginawa mo. Tanong ko lang if ikaw ba mismo pumirma ng stat dec mo or nakiusap ka sa ibang supervisor/manager mo para pirmahan sa harap ng abogado? Nagbackread ako and may nabasa ako na sila raw nagprepare and nagsign na rin ng kanilang stat dec kaso di ko na nakita yung update nila if okay ba kay vetassess yun. Old na rin kasi yung thread kaya di ko na sinubukang imessage yung nagpost nun.

    Mine was done last year mga feb. For my current employer, i asked them to sign my COE as per my format without the Job description.

    I also made my own SD signed by myself and had it notarized in Ph. I attached other documents such as Job posrings from career future to show the job desc of my current position.

    SATA AMK mabilis and efficient. Yung tests na gagawin ay depende sa referral letter mo from dha. Usually xray, hiv, egfr (kidney), physical, and vision test for adults.

    Bring a printed copy of your covid vax cert. They asked for mine during my medical.

    Hindi ko sure sa pre-existing condition kung paano eh. Pero may interview with doctor sa huli, doon nya itatanong lahat and ideclare mo lang. Then magsasabi naman sila sayo if may action item sa end mo or wala na.

    We're just bored and a bit anxious waiting for our grants, at the same time would like to extend help to fellow aspiring migrants based on our personal experiences and own research about au migration. (Tips and guidance shared by members in this forum already in Australia helped a lot too.)

    Since you're already awaiting visa grant, I believe there will be lesser worries and research needed. You've passed the most tedious and crucial stages of migration (for me)--everything before visa lodgement. Super congrats! ๐Ÿ˜…

    Most concerns about moving to AU (logistics/paper works/house rental/job hunting, etc) are already posted in this forum, some may be outdated but we have helpful members here who share their most recent experiences. Just search and read a little bit. Goodluck!

    Hala sa telekinetic. ๐Ÿ˜… Palitan ko na nga sana ng peppa pig. New FY, new profile pic.

    We're just bored and a bit anxious waiting for our grants, at the same time would like to extend help to fellow aspiring migrants based on our personal experiences and own research about au migration. (Tips and guidance shared by members in this forum already in Australia helped a lot too.)

    Since you're already awaiting visa grant, I believe there will be lesser worries and research needed. You've passed the most tedious and crucial stages of migration (for me)--everything before visa lodgement. Super congrats! ๐Ÿ˜…

    Most concerns about moving to AU (logistics/paper works/house rental/job hunting, etc) are already posted in this forum, some may be outdated but we have helpful members here who share their most recent experiences. Just search and read a little bit. Goodluck!

    Thanks for the welcome @mathilde9 .

    Yes, indeed it is bit anxiety driving but have to keep it calm :) . I have been trying to keep myself busy with other stuff to cope with it - mostly reading about various neighbourhoods and places to live and work in NSW. Shall see how it goes.

    Yes good amount of stuff to digest here as well :) Thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences.

    Salamat everyone.

    Hi @bbsdgr8 if it helps - klook seem to have some airport transfer options too- but they seem very expensive for SYD to Wollongong route :( . And as far as I have researched, trains allow max 2 bags (within certain sizes) per passenger. Not sure if you can work around that and use it to your advantage.

    (or perhaps if it's cost-effective, consider storing your non important luggage at the airport and picking it up some other time)

    --> trains allow max 2 bags..

    Sorry it's not two- but just one large baggage (other hand carry) . (https://transportnsw.info/travel-info/using-public-transport/regional-booking-travel-information/luggage-on-nsw-trainlink)
