    Hi.

    Ask ko lang what if di ka pumasa sa assessment ng skills mo? Kase for my position as Sales manager, napaka complex nman ng duties and resposibilities na nakalagay. As in Senior Management position talaga. Meron ba may idea about this?

    @bertz hello, mandatory ang details for the employment certificate. try mo makakuha nito sa company mo pero kung talagang hindi pwede, kailngan mo magpagawa ng statutory declaration.
    Hi Jaero.

    Pano nga pala yang sa assessment eh need ng organizational chart, job detailed responsibilities kahit previous employer, eh yung dati ko na company na buy out na, kaya di na sya existing. San ako papagawa ng statutoru declaration for this?

    @jaero, wala ka bang naging close friend o friend man lang sa dating company na buy out na? pwede sya mag pirma ng stat. dec. mo. Mas magaling kung kasamahan mo sa work tapos mataas posisyon sayo.

    @jim, syempre dapat i-calculate mo na kung papasa ka o hindi read on nga pala rules in assessment ng assessing body mo muna bago ka magpa assess.

    hello everyone!

    I need your help kc prang wla yta sa nominated occupation ng SOL un present job ng husband ko, bale ECE grad. sya from PUP.

    Experience:
    Nov. 2007-present Broadcast Engineer (Middle East) 4 yrs.
    May 2003 – Nov. 2007 Telecommunications Engineer (Middle East) 4 ½ yrs.
    June 1997 – April 2003 Optical System Engineer (Phils.)
    Oct. 1992 – May 1997 Electronics & Communication Engineer II (Phils.) 4 yrs.& 7 mos.

    1. Ang nasa SOL Telecommunications Engineer - ANZSCO Code 263311, ok lng ba na yan ang ipa-assess nya sa IEA? Ang plano kc nmin visa 475 (State Sponsorship) ang ilolodged nmin sa DIAC pra khit sana mka band 7 sya sa IELTS kumpleto na ang 65 pts. nmin
    2. Tayo ba ang mag mag-aapply ng State Sponsorhip? Mhirap o mtagal ba mkakuha nito?
    3. Ilang months na ba ang processing if Visa 475 ang illodged nmin? Sbi kc ng agency nung nagpa-assess kmi IELTS muna then skill assessment, DIAC etc. total dw 1 yr. My nbasa kc aq sa site ng DIAC na bagong processing times 18 mos. na ba kc affected dw ng processing priorities. Mag-44 na kc husband ko sa Feb. e next month pa lng sya mage-exam ng IELTS, kung magiging successful sna ang IELTS nya pipilitin ko agad mkapag-skill assessment then lodged na ng application sa DIAC. Ang sbi kc ng agency dpat dw b4 sya mag-45 my visa na kmi. Kng totoong 18 mos. na nga ang processing, cguro back-out na kami kc aabutin na un bday ng husband ko sa 2013, medyo malaki-laki din kc ang ilalabas na pera sayang nman kung mapupunta lang din sa wala.

    Please tulong nman po, paki tulungan nyo nman aq magresearch tungkol d2.

    Thank you…………..

    assess ko ang points mo (mangingialam lang hehehe walang basagan ng trip)

    15 = age
    10 = IELTS (target 7 band)
    15 = Overseas Work Experience (8.5 yrs as telecom engr)
    15 = Overseas Work experience ( if PRC licensed engineer)
    10 = 475 State Sponsorship
    ====
    65

    Go ! advice ko mag-hire kayo ng Registered Migration aGent kung gusto nyo humabol ng before July 2012. Agent nyo na ang mag-assist sa inyo for IELTS, skills assessment, state sponsorship application at visa lodgment. Mahal ang gastos kung may migration agent pero yun lang last resort nyo para makahabol.

    Wag mong intindihin ang processing time. Basta nakapag-lodge na ang mister mo ng application sa Diac bago mag 46 yrs old. Safe na kayo. Mabilis lang ang 475. Meron nga dito less than an month lang visa grant na.

    Nung nbasa ko un timeframe ng mga ksama ntin d2 sa forum prang lumakas loob ko, majority yta “online assesstment” lng. Pero nung nbasa ko un 18 mos. na processing prang nadisappoint nko, nagwoworry kc aq bk wlang mangyari.

    Anyway, since bnigyan nyo nman aq ng go signal to continue, cge diretso kmi but we prefer to go sa online assesstment na lng. Basa2 na lng cguro and mangungulit na lng aq d2 sa forum from time to time kng anong next step, hehehe. Medyo mbigat kc sa pocket ang charge pag maghhire pa kmi ng migration agent, imagine agent pa lng P120k na tpos biglang abutan nung bagong 18 mos. na processing, whaaaaaaah nag-45 na dyowa ko! Pray, pray, pray na lng.

    Goodluck na lng sa ating lahat,


    45-49 zero point. hahaha grabe ka @heyits7me_mags wag nman 50 yrs. old my tungkod na asawa ko non eh. Grabeng band score din sa IELTS ang kailangan nya pg nagpa abot pa sya ng gnyang age, di na kya ng powers nya un, hehehe......

    Hi All,

    pwede pong magtanong about dito?

    ".the State and Territory SOL (schedule 1 and 2) – relevant only for GSM applicants who are nominated by a State or Territory government agency under a State Migration Plan.
    See: Skilled Occupation List (SOL) – Schedule 1 and 2 (201KB PDF"

    ung work po kase namin mag asawa dito sya nag fall sa SOL Schedule 2.
    di ko po ma gets anong ibig sabihin po..

    Understanding ko po, pwede ka lang magnominate ng skilled occupation under SOL 1 and SOL 2 kapag state or territory sponsored. Otherwise dun na sa bago ka dapat kukuha. Correct me guys if I'm wrong.

    Hi @Harlan! I second the motion. Go and apply! :)

    To tell you, the 18 months processing time of DIAC is an improved timeline already. As far as I remember, dati 24-36 months yan. And mind you, nowadays, mabilis magprocess ang DIAC so it means shorter than 18 months pa. Example, yung mga nag-lodge online ng Visa 175 nung April 2011 to June 2011, pinaprocess na ngayon or meron ng mga assigned COs. Parang average of 6-8 months lang. Tapos kung makakakuha pa kayo ng state sponsorship, mga 3-4 months lang or mas mabilis pa. Better check my posts sa Processing Updates thread. Naglalagay ako ng trends dun kapag may update na si DIAC ng allocation dates para makita ng mga aspiring and waiting applicants yung speed ng processing. To further encourage you to apply, here is an example for 175. :)

    175 Visa Application Updates:

    As of Dec. 09 - Apr. 30, 2011
    As of Dec. 02 - Apr. 28, 2011
    As of Nov. 21 - Mar. 22, 2011

    Just wondering, sa online application ng DIAC, nilagay nyo ba lahat ng family members niyo? Pati step brothers, sisters, or for example lang meron kayo step children? Just wondering. Kasi paano yun kailangan mo pa ilagay details nila, but hindi naman sila kasama sa pag-migrate mo? Curious lang. Nag-test run kasi ako kanina nun online application although hindi ko save.

    Hi @Bryann! Nilagay pa din ng husband ko, as principal applicant, kahit di sila kasama sa application yung immediate family members nya (parents and 2 brothers). Sa secondary applicant, which is ako, di ko maalala if pinalagay pa din family members ko. Pero parang sinulat ko din ata. :)

    @Bryann pag parents, siblings, place them as "other family members". Huwag mo sila ilagay sa "non-migrating dependents". Kasi pag sa "non-migrating dependents".. siya yung wife and kids mo. And they will require na i-medical din sila. Medyo nalito ko nun kasi akala ko kelangan pa imedical yung parents ko din kasi nalagay ko sila sa "non-migrating dependents" nga.. kaya nagtanong ako sa CO ko. Buti na lang mabaet yung CO ko.. sya na naglipat sa "other family members" at hindi na daw kelangan nga imedical parents ko.. same din sa siblings.

    Salamat po ng madami, hehe. At least nalinawan na ako. Mas maganda kasi sigurado sa mga isusulat. Hehe. Thanks,
    Napansin ko po visa 176 kyo, meron kasi ako uncle dun pro naisip ko 175 na lng na visa kunin kasi wala nman points or bearing kapag sponsored right? Or you think meron ba? Same dn nman na 65 points ang passing kasi. Tpos bka hassle pa sa kanya mag-fill up ng forms.

    @Bryann pasensya na hindi kita matulungan sa tanung mo na yan. I lodged my application march pa. Hinabol ko kasi talaga bago mag July 2011. Kaya lumang points system pa yung sakin at ang mas alam ko. 100points pa nung sakin ang required. I believe kasi mas madali sakin yun kesa yung bago nga ngayon na 65points passing.

    Ah oo nga tama ka, okay pala dati kasi mas mababa required points, kapag sponsored. Gusto ko din sana dati kaso hindi pa ako abot that time sa work experience required ng ACS. Sayang.

    @bryan,

    pwede ka pa rin ang relative-sponsored under new system PROVIDED:

    1. Your nominated occupation should be in SOL 1.
    2. Your uncle lives in REGIONAL area.
    3. Your visa class is 475. You will get 10 points for relative-sponsored-regional.

    Ah ganun, hindi sya nakatira sa regional area eh. Sa Sydney. I guess tuloy tuloy na, 175 na. Thanks for the info though.

    Mates, I need your opinion. I was assessed by ACS of having 6 years of working experience (Group A ). During that time, ung COE ko lang sa current company ko ang available kc out of the Phils ako and nahihirapan ako magrequest sa previous company ko ng COE given the fact na may special format un at medyo matagal na ako resign dun. After my result sa ACS sabay naman na nakakuha na ako ng COE sa dati kong company kce napalitan ng mabait na HR manager (hehehe). Very related po ang work ko from my prev. company sa nominated occupation ko, Do you think DIAC will still consider my working experience na hindi kasama during my ACS assessment???
