@heisenberg_10 Sa akin nilagay ko lang yung mga drawings na included yung work ko. Even 3d perspectives. Presentation boards, Cad drawings, and even maps ng projects. Then naglagay na lang ako ng project descriptions and task and respo ko in certain drawings. Basta siguro ipalabas mo na "ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTSPERSON" ka sa pinapasukan mo.

If he will complete vetassess and pte (competent), additional 10pts yan sa claimable points ng main applicant. Aim for higher points talaga kung di naman ang issue ang funds. Same ba kayo ng anzsco?

Hello, thank you po sa mga response nyo. Scheduled na po kami ng hubby ko to take PTE on ngayong October. Need pa namin mag review ng maigi.
Kung ako po ang main applicant, need po ba mag vetassess ng husband ko, dun po kasi kami medyo na confuse. Mahal din po kasi ang assessment fee.

If ikaw po applicant. Para makakuha ng 10pts for partner. Kailangan nya ng positive skills assessment and at least competent PTE result din.

Depende ata kung kelan ka nagpasa. Sa husband ko january nagpasa. Pagkabalik ng vetassess galing holiday, after 2 weeks pa napansin yung application nya. pero dahil priority, 4 days lang may result narin pagkabayad ng priority.
Ako last week lang nagpasa(sep3,24), the same day "lodged" status na, tapos kinabukasan(sep4,24) payment ng process for priority. tapos kaninang umaga(sep8,24) nag notif sa email ko yung result.
Yung kakilala ko, last week ng december nagpasa tapos walang priority kasi sarado sila for holiday. 3 months bago lumabas yung result ng assessment nya around march.

kahit po hindi architectural firm yung company? kasi since outsourcing sila, parang nangangaylangan lang sila ng draftsman if may mga client silang magpapadraft., pero yung role is draftsman/architectural designer... as long as paid and makakauha ng COE saknila with task and responsibilities counted naman po?

Wala po tan sa type po company. Nagbabase sila sa job description mismo.
Btw is this a new company? Not sure if accepted sya once after sya ng vetassess outcome.
