ipink · June 2013

Wow thank you all for the tips.

I also always submit the form na typewritten. Editable naman kasi fields in PDF.

ipink · June 2013

@legato09 @jengrata @alexamae @nfronda

So I took your advice and is now going over form 80. Here are my clarifications so far

Do you currently have, or have you ever had, other passports/travel documents not already shown at Question 1? --> is your previous expired passport considered as such

Do you currently have, or have you ever had, any national identity
documents or numbers --> In the visa application I indicated this as none but going over form 80 now, do I put SSS and should have indicated yes in my visa application?

Details of proposed arrival in Australia --> Can this be left blank?

Thanks in advance for the replies

Answer: Yes, just put your old passport here..

Do you currently have, or have you ever had, any national identity
documents or numbers --> In the visa application I indicated this as none but going over form 80 now, do I put SSS and should have indicated yes in my visa application?

Answer: Hubby does have SSS number but we put NO on this question coz I don't think so SSS can be consider as national identity..(not really sure)

Details of proposed arrival in Australia --> Can this be left blank?

Answer: Yes leave it blank

wow, ang dami nang bago dito ah...awaiting ng CO...hello all!... advise ko sa inyo, double check, triple check, all your documents and upload everything habang wala pang CO...di nyo mamamalayan may CO na pala na hindi lang nagpaparamdam...

based on experience, my agent uploaded everything i gave him (puro certified copies lang nga yun eh except for my NBI Clearance)...then biglang naggiging RECEIVED and REQUIRED and ..ano pa yung isa?...naggiging ganun ang status ko without a CO yet ha... then after 10 days, nagparamdam na ang CO ko... so malamang may CO na hindi lang nagpapakilala at nagpaparamdam pa...magpaparamdam nalang kung may kulang sa documents nyo...kung kumpleto na, then magpaparamdam sya at the same time VISA GRANT ka na...may ibang forumners here who experienced such ... GOD bless to ALL!!

ipink · June 2013

In the visa application form, it is asked whether you have a national identity card. I already said no there. did you say no there and then included SSS still? :-/

the following day after I lodged visa and uploaded documents, naging received na status ng documents. yung mga bago ko upload, required pa din now. does that mean na meron tumingin sa visa application lodged that's why it changed status to received?

GoodLuckAU · June 2013

4 weeks na akong nag-aantay! Halfway na!!!

>-

In my experience, everytime I upload something - the next day Received na kaagad and that was approx 4wks ago na. Kung anjan na si CO, sana naman magparamdam na para maasikaso ko na ang SG PCC. 3 weeks na naman yun. :-S

Makapag-driving lessons na nga lang. :-?

ianne27 · June 2013

maybe may CO ka na @GoodLuckAU. Ganun saken - "required or recommended" lang nasa eVisa page. Then when I uploaded some items nag-change sa "received" others "requested" dun ko nafeel at nalaman na may CO.
All the best!

jengrata · June 2013

@ianne27 yes same thing happened to me. Either recommended or requested then theyve changed to received one after the other. Different dates din ang nakalagay. So @GoodLuckAU i strongly believe you already have CO who is updating your eVisa. You can also call DIAC to verify. They will tell you if you were already allocate or not.

jengrata · June 2013

@ipink

In the visa application form, it is asked whether you have a national identity card. I already said no there. did you say no there and then included SSS still?

I said yes at the first question. So i suggest you stick to your answer to avoid confusion.

GoodLuckAU · June 2013

@jengrata @ianne27 sana nga. kakaburyong lang maghintay. gustu ko na rin kumuha ng SG PCC - para naman may magawa. hay-hay.

thanks for the reassurance, much appreciated.

legato09 · June 2013

@GoodluckAu SG PCC ay 3 weeks na ang pagiintay ;-)

SSS is not a national ID card... As far as I am concerned, walang national identity card sa Pilipinas.

ipink · June 2013

ok thanks for the guidance @jengrata @TasBurrfoot

jengrata · June 2013

@TasBurrfoot you MAYBE right. But i already did write it on my form80 anyway and i got a visa grant now

On the other hand, you may not have written it and @nfronda didnt write it and you also got your visa grants!

So hey, no worries... Im am just sharing what i did. Just follow what you think is right for you @ipink

Peace po tayong lahat!

@jengrata - it doesn't matter what you or @nfonda wrote, the CO cannot determine which is correct anyway...

Yep, whether or not you include it or not will not matter a lot...

we did not include it as a national ID btw.

jengrata · June 2013

@ipink yw

goodluck on your application.

icebreaker1928 · June 2013

Share ko lang din...National id card, SSS din ginamit ko...pwede yun...
magsasabi naman si CO pag hindi nila tatangapin.. hindi naman grounds yun para madeny ka...

ok case close na... change topic hahaha...

sana magka CO na kayo... (para hindi OT)

GoodLuckAU · June 2013

@legato09 Yah, super aware about that fact. All the more na nakakainip - kasi alam kong pagkatapos kong magka-CO, 3wks naman to SG PCC. #-o

MJQ79 · June 2013

May nagemail sa amin na CO, unfortunately sabi nya mali daw ung naclaim namin na points sa EOI. Kc nagclaim daw ung hubby ko ng 5 pts under Australian education, parang nalito kme di namin maalala na nagclaim kme:( so dapat daw magbigay ng proof abt sa claim or iwithdraw ung application. Meron bang nakarxperience ng ganito sa inyo:(

@MJQ79 Wala ba kayong soft copy ng EOI? You can save kasi a softcopy after submitting, meron dun breakdown ng points and your answers sa mga questions. Not sure if you can still access your EOI I tried checking kaso down sila ngaun.

lock_code2004 · June 2013

@MJQ79 - calculate nyo ang alam nyong total EOI points nyo versus anu ba ang total points ng nasa Summary page ng EOI.. pag may difference, malamang may sagot kayo na hindi tama, or may na claim kayo na hindi dapat..

the common mistake is on the understanding of the assessment results
it states that our PH qualification is "equivalent" to Au qualification..
but that does not mean that you actually studied in Australia..

im guessing, you ticked yes on the Study in Australia qualification question...
mostly yan ang error ng mga applicants..
you should say "NO" to that question...

so please check your EOI..

MJQ79 · July 2013

@rguez06 @lock_code2004 thanks po sa reply, nakita ko ung copy ng EOI na sinubmit namin ; dapat po ba NO ung sagot sa "Does the client meet the Australian study requirements for the skilled migration points test?"
