  Please advise, newbie na mag D-DIY here.
  1. Ano po ba tips nyo sa paggawa ng statutory declaration?
  2. Dapat ba managerial or supervisory role un work colleague? Pano pag same lang kayo ng position?
  3. Required ba yung COE / leaving certificate ng colleague with the statutory declaration?
  3. Tatanggapin ba ng ACS if hindi ko nalagyan ng date sa taas un stat dec and ganito pagka notaryo --
  

  2. Nagsubmit ako and ang nag-attest for me is my colleague na same position ko.
  3. Notarized Stat dec, colleague's COE, colleague's 2 valid IDs with signature, my COE and my 2 valid IDs with signature. Yun po inattach ko sakin.
  4. My colleague ko kasi is nasa AU. Sya gumawa ng statutory declaration for me and the format he followed is based sa NSW (https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/nsw-statutory-declaration-forms). I gave him the details and he notarized it. ACS accepted it naman kahit same level kami.

  Alam ko po may format ng statutory declaration here https://pinoyau.info/discussion/383/statutory-declaration/p1

  Hello po... magask lang po ako... we have given 482 sponsored visa but we did not push through with the plan of migrating & we informed the employer... we thought they will cancel our visa but upon checking at immi it is still in effect... we want to apply for a sublass 600 tourist visa but we were confused because of the 482... will this supersede the 482 or we need to cancel first the 482 then apply for 600... will the employer need to cancel it or we can do it even if they are the one who applied for our 482 visa... salamat po sa sasagot...

  does anyone know if we can claim skilled partner points even if mag expire ang assessment? I watched a video from an agency saying that even if expired/old assessment pwede magclaim.. how true is that?

  Hello po,

  May 2 questions po ako..

  1. Required po ba na lahat ng documents na kailangan i scan ay dapat both sides ang iiscan? (front to back)
     halimbawa birth certificates, marriage certificate etc..

  meron na kasi kaming scanned copies halos lahat ng documents.. pero kung kailangan talaga, e di kailangan ulitin i scan ulit..

  2. Paano po ginawa nyo sa forms like 80 and 1221, pinrint nyo then scan din ng both sides?

  Maraming salamat po!

  Maraming salamat po!

  1. Front lang yung iniscan ko kahit sa mga birth cert etc. Yung birth cert from PSA, yung harap lang meron di ba? Front to back ba sya?

  2. Digital signature lang yung Form80 ko.

  Kahit ano between digital sign and wet signature then scan, okay lang yan.

  try mo check yung website.
  https://geospatialcouncil.org.au/

  Nominated Skill: 312111
  Target Visa: Subclass 190-OFFSHORE
  Target State: VIC/WA/NSW(got NSW invite)
  2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
  2022 Started working in Singapore, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again.
  2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube video explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
  2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about making contact to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.
  2024 Jan 16: Husband's Vetassess Lodging
  2024 Feb 2: Husband's Vetassess Priority processing
  2024 Feb 6: Husband's Vetassess Positive Result
  2024 July 2: PTE exam (Husband-Competent, Mine-Proficient). Huge month gap because we got busy with office works and some other personal errands.
  2024 July 3: Husband Submitted EOI for Visa 190 VIC/NSW/WA (65)
  (Age:30; Qualifications:15; XP Offshore:10; English:0; Partner:5; State:5)
  2024 July : I delayed getting my Vetasses in the hopes of saving the fee if my husband got the invite even with low eoi score(who am I kidding?). Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner is a huge difference. Initially, I was looking to just submit with only 1 work experience cause my other companies are a bit hassle to deal with but thank God I went throught all the stress and collected them all(pokemon?)
  2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess
  2024 Sep 4: Vetassess Priority approval- then paid the same day.
  2024 Sep 8: Vetassess Positive Result-5.9 years (considered as high work experience)

  (Age:30; Qualifications:15; XP Offshore:10; English:0; Partner:10; State:5)
  2024 Sep 8: Submitted My EOI for Visa 190 VIC/NSW/WA (80)

  2024 Dec 19: SPF COC Fingerprinting, 45 mins from Queueing to receiving COC
  2024 Dec 20: Submitted documents, Paid aud 7155+100(debit processing fee). Tried paying the night of dec 19 but the payment keep declining when using all our debit mastercard. Then we tried one of our visa card, it worked but its already past 12am so our lodge date became Dec 20. haha
  2024 Dec 20: Withdrawn other EOIs. No more budget if ever we get an invite from our 1st choice of State.
  2024 Dec 23: Received Skillselect email, eoi suspended, Lodged status.
  2025 Jan 4 : Medical at SATA Uttamram
  2025 Jan 6 : Medical clearance reflected
  2026 ___ __: Visa Grant (manifesting it on 1st qtr of 2026 para realistic at para maabutan ko pa yung cny bonus haha)
