No worries idol.

Anyway I just got my positive assessment yesterday. Who else got theirs? The letter was dated May 8 and it arrived May 17 in Manila. Probably the same turnaround times for others who live in Manila.

Thanks a lot to all who posted tips especially idol @lock_code2004. I will try to check this thread from time to time and will help in every way I can.

@rylynn

Maraming salamat po sa mga pagbati. We are halfway the battle so there's no turning back.

Kay idol @lock_code2004, maraming salamat at sa pagbabasa ko pa lang dito andami na mapupulot lalo na sa mga comments ng mga gurus like you. Habol habol na lang ng eoi at malapit na July. Baka pabayadan na si misis. haha!

@ipink, yep nagpa-assess na din po ako nung aking work experience. Dito ako kinabahan but luckily credited naman yung work so it's up to me to prove everything na lang din sa diac.

@rylynn, dadating na din po yan. Antay antay lang mukhang talagang matagal yung pag-aantay. Sana nga may option na ipapa-rush yung pagmail e. hehe!

Hi @lock_code2004 ! Historically ba, pag nagsubmit ng EOI, you will get invitation on the next round? Or usually you wait for a few rounds?

ipink · May 2013

@joestrummer what SOL are you applying for? Let us know when you get an EOI invite on June 3. Good luck!

lock_code2004 · May 2013

Hi @lock_code2004 ! Historically ba, pag nagsubmit ng EOI, you will get invitation on the next round? Or usually you wait for a few rounds?

for visa 189
- there are several factors to consider, your EOI score (ranking compared to other EOIs), effective date of EOI, your occupation, tapos may number for invitation per cycle (around 1000 invitations/cycle)
- so kung pasok ka sa lahat ng yan, definitely maiinvite ka..

for visa 190, automatic ang invitation, once ma-approved ang SS..

czha · May 2013

pa help nman po ng CDR kung meron sa inyo na nasa field ng PCB design thank you

ipink · May 2013

@lock_code2004 thanks for the quick reply as always. just further clarification

what is SS? hehe. also, I really have preference to be based on Sydney later on as I have family there. will the visa 190 still allow me that? or there is chance that I will not be placed in Sydney?

the reason im asking is because I want to be sure of what visa types to select when filing the EOI.

lock_code2004 · May 2013

@ipink - SS- State Sponsorship..

if your occupation is in CSOL Sched 2, you need to be sponsored by a State (visa 190).. therefore kailangan mong maghanap ng state na pwede magsponsor sayo (check each state's nomination list), of course kung saan state ka nagpa-sponsor, they have a requirement that you should live/work in that state for atleast 2 years..

kung nasa SOL naman, walang problema pwede ka mag apply ng visa 189.. then pwede ka tumira kahit saan sa AU.

hi! does anybody tried to pick-up a copy of EA assessment from Canberra and mailed to the Philippines? The original copy of my husband's assessment was not received and we need to request for a copy. EA already emailed us that it is available for pick-up thru DHL. However, DHL here in Davao does not have any idea on how to go about it. we emailed DHL Au to ask for the process but they did not reply up to this time. Help!

lock_code2004 · May 2013

@majal - if it can help at kung pwede, why dont you request for a colored scan copy thru email? para mas madali... hindi mo nmn kailangan ng original for visa application..

majal · May 2013

Hi lock_code2004! We already requested and was emailed with a copy of the assessment. But it has a print across the letter that the document is not valid for DIAC. We'll try to check with online booking thru DHL- Au. Thank you.

@majal - im not sure why can't EA send it directly to you, this is written in their website: Migration Skills Assessment FAQs:

If I have lost or not received a letter of recognition from Engineers Australia and require a letter for migration purposes, what should I do?

Applicants requiring a new letter of recognition must apply in writing using the Admin Fee form, requesting a letter for migration purposes. This is necessary for Engineers Australia to do a records check. With the completed form you must provide:

•A Statutory Declaration, witnessed by a Justice of the Peace or equivalent, describing why a new letter is required.
•Payment of the AU$110.00 administrative fee which has included the Goods and Service Tax (GST) and details of your current mailing address. Please note that if you are a resident outside Australia, the GST does NOT apply, the fee is AU$100.00
