Ako, hindi. Mostly yang part ng ACS ikaw din magpproduce ng documents. Follow mo lang ACS guideline kung straightforward lang case mo, you'll be fine. Para alam mo din yung mga pinagssubmit mong documents mismo. Walang sisihan for any aberya.
Pag may complexity, yan siguro mas maiging mag consult sa agent. Like paano magproceed kung hindi aligned ang educ with work experience etc.

Hello po ulit, malapit na kasi mag expire yung ACS ko and nag recheck lang ako ng previously submitted docs ko. Di naman ako nag change ng company so sa last assesment ko same pa din, kaso lang may sulat dun sa reference letter ko na "valid for one month from issuing date" magkaka issue po ba yun pag sinubmit ko yun ulit with recent bank statement + payslip?

Hello,
Nirerequire po ba talaga ni ACS yung contact info ng current at previous employers? Paano po kung di na mareach yung former superior via social media accounts?
Thanks,

Kelangan lang verifiable yung letter mo kaya need nila naka official letter head. Usually my contact details din ng signatory/dept dapat (email add ganyan). Sakin email add eh.
Sa stat dec, same. Need ng contact details nung nag attest.

Need your advice po, kung sakali po bang hanggang competent lang yung makuha kong scores ko sa PTE, mas ok po bang magtuloy na ako ng skilled visa application kaysa pilitin pang ireach yung superior score sa PTE? Thanks po.

Pwede ka na magsubmit ng EOI if you have at least competent pte result AND positive skills assessment for general skilled migration. Medyo babaan mo nga lang expectation mo siguro, kasi kahit yung ibang superior na yung score eh naghihintay pa rin ng months before mainvite. Kung may time ka din at resources, iimprove mo pa yung english for more chances of winning haha. Goodluck.

As long as you meet the minimum 65 points, you can always lodge your EOI and just update it if you have more points to claim. All the best

Hi everyone! 😊
Just wanted to ask if anyone here has completed their Master’s degree in Australia, but only had their Bachelor’s degree assessed for their skills assessment?
Did you still include both your Bachelor’s and Master’s in your EOI? And for the part that asks “Is the above Education history information correct?”, is it okay to tick Yes even if your skills assessment is based on your Bachelor’s?
Would really appreciate any insights or experience you could share. Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

It’s asking for the highest qualification so I would put masters and the bachelors as well. Basically both.

Thank you so much for the clarification!
I’ll include both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees as suggested. 😊

re: Statutory declarations and affidavits.
Wala na sa previous company ko yun manager noon and I doubt I entertain pa ako ng HR. Okay lang ba if ipa sign ko sa dating manager ko noon doon BUT no longer affiliated na din siya sa previous company namin?
Salamat!

Parang may nabasa ako dito na ganun yung ginawa pero kasi closed na yung company at may stat dec ata na kasama. Much better parin kung i-try mo kausapin yung hr nyo para pwede nakalagay sa company letterhead.
Nung una din nahihiya ako kausapin mga hr ng prev companies ko kasi parang abala ako, pero so far in-entertain naman nila ako, yung iba nga lang eh umabot ng mga 2 months pero di ako sumuko ng kaka follow up 2x a week haha

2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
2022 Started working in SG, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again. Working in SG was a huge factor for us pushing through because we are now confident that we can afford the cost of migration process.
---2023---
2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube videos 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 reaching out 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.

(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 with low EOI score. Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner would be a huge difference because of state preference. 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 cause now, I could also submit EOI as the main applicant.
2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess
2024 Sep 4: Vetassess Priority approval- then paid the same day.

Nag reach out na ako last time for COE kasi hindi rin sila nag provide noon 2021 - iisa lang yun HR since but mukhang allergic siya sa nag re resign if mag base ako sa mga email replies niya.

Yes, pwede to. As long as the signatory OF THE STATUTORY DECLARATION could provide his/her CoE and within that period may overlap yung stay nyo sa company.
Kasama sa trabaho ng HR yung magprovide ng documents for exiting employees and those who already left. Mag insist ka unless sabihin nilang hindi magpprovide talaga.

Mukhang mas feasible pa yata to just ask for a statutory declaration from my previous Manager hehe. Question ulit — Wala din na-provide na job description before (title lang na 'FULL STACK DEVELOPER' sa FB group posting), pwede ba akong gumawa na lang based on my actual work experience?
Try ko na mag draft stat dec then papirmahan nalang once makausap ko yun manager ko dati.
