May pag-asa pa ba ako kung "not available" na yung nominated occupation ko sa WASMOL?
Isang state na lang ang pag-asa ko na puedeng mag nominate sa akin (nasa CSOL yun occupation ko) at puede rin bigla bigla alisin yun sa listahan tulad ng ginawa ng WA. Sa website ng SkillSelect malayo pa yung ceiling sa number of invitations issued, bakit inalis na nila ng wala man lang warning?

Bakit kasi hindi ako nagpa-assess kaagad. Haaaaaayyy.

@emmy ang bilis ha.... may response na a gad sila.

@rei_ya in my case, sa source of funds mo, i try to give all the possible sources like:
1. liquid funds mo in the form of cash, savings, bonds, etc.
2. try to include din yung investments nyo like real estate, car, etc then assuming na ibebenta mo yun, what will be the value after the sale kasi additional source din yun.
3. then in our case, here in UAE, when we resign, may gratuity pay kami parang service pay, computed based on the number of service. isinama ko din yun.

all in just add that up to strengthen your capacity to live in AU while looking for work.

jvframos · June 2013

@emmy true, nakakapanic talaga na baka hindi umabot.... thanks din sa support ng mga tags forum kasi we made this far na. sans magtuloy tuloy na to. sana mgkita pita tayo sa WA.

emmy · June 2013

Hi to @jvramos @GoTOWAOZ @wizz @lock_code2004 @rei_ya at sa iba pa, approved na yung WA SS ko after a few hours of emailing them the Breakdown of Funds. Salamat sa tulong nyo lahat dito.

Good luck to us all and may God bless our plans!

lock_code2004 · June 2013

emmy · June 2013

Thank you @lock_code2004 nasa office ako nun and buti na lang wala akong masyadong urgent na ginagawa and naka reply ako agad sa kanila. Whew!

lock_code2004 · June 2013

emmy · June 2013

Yes @lock_code2004 na email ko na din yung SS Agreement sa kanila. Thank you!!!

Big thanks din to @Aiwink and another friend sa tiyaga nila sumagot sa mga tanong ko.

lock_code2004 · June 2013

@emmy - would you know kung mag issue sila ng visa invitation sa mga newly approved SS?
or freeze muna, after jul 1 na?

jvframos · June 2013

@emmy congrats!!! so happy for you sis. how many days inabot young SS mo?

lock_code2004 · June 2013

@jvframos - ayun po sa time line nya... 1 day lang ang SS application ni @emmy...
haha.. so far sya ang record holder nyan..

emmy · June 2013

@emmy - would you know kung mag issue sila ng visa invitation sa mga newly approved SS?
or freeze muna, after jul 1 na?

Hi @lock_code2004 wala pa ako nabasa about that. Ang nabasa ko sa WA SS updates/news is yung pagtaas ng visa charges. I'll post the link later.

Haha ako ba record holder? Malay mo meron dyan within the day, haha. Actually @jvframos nag submit ako ng WA SS 3:50 am 27 July 2013. Then they replied the following day 28 July 2013 around 11 am. Sabi nga ng 2 na tumutulong sa akin ang bilis daw. Maybe patapos na ung buwan kaya inayos na din nila.

Ikaw na next nyan!

jvframos · June 2013

@emmy wow! madaling araw sa pinas? talagang pinagpuyatan :-)
yung sakin, mga 3:00pm UAE time, so around 9:00 na ng gabi sa Au yun. sana nga sis. yung sa amin na yung susunod. nakakakaba pala.

@lock_code2004 namomonitor mo talaga lahat ng progress.... baka nga di ka na kumakain nya sa sobrang support mo sa group. dapat pala next work mo is immigration law na. sobrang alam mo na mga ins and outs ng system nila

rei_ya · June 2013

@emmy congrats! record holder nga! sna kmi na nila @jvramos ang ksunod. ang hirap mg concentrate sa work pag gnitong stage na.. later kitakits sa CO allocation thread

rei_ya · June 2013

@jvframos sayang nga, nka submit na ko bago ko ngtanong about funds.. di bale, wait ko response nila about declared fund ko..

emmy · June 2013

Hi @rei_ya thank you! Nangyari lang naman yun dahil sa mga tulong at sagot nyo sa mga tanong ko. Thank you again.

Saka sinabi mo pa! Ang hirap mag concentrate sa trabaho, lalo na nung na receive ko mga email nila nsa office ako blessing na lang na wala ako deadline or urgent na ginagawa.

jvframos · June 2013

@emmy @rei_ya sinabi nyo pa... ang hirap magconcentrate. parang may kaba palagi. sana nga tayo na @yei_ya ang kasunod pati na din yung iba pang humabol sa july 1 deadline.

@emmy san ka work ngayon? pareho tayo ng occupation yun lang nga visa 489 ako kasi mababa score ko sa age hehehe.

rei_ya · July 2013

@emmy , @jvramos , @lock_code2004 , help naman po..

nag email na cla.. generic cguro mga email nila bsta may problema sa funds.. un nga, that

"Applicants are expected to have sufficient funds to enable them to maintain a lifestyle for themselves and any family members for a period of at least three months or until you secure employment. The minimum amount of liquid funds required for settlement is:
· Single - $20,000
· Couple - $30,000
· $5,000 for every additional dependent.
Please specify the total amount of funds you have access to for resettlement." - fr: WA CO

Question:pano ba to.. kc nag declare na ako na may 19k ako sa bank savings.. how do i confirm that I indeed have 40k for my family. Do I simply say na i have 40k funds? bka kwestyunin na kaka declare ko lang na may 19k lang ako sa bank..

lock_code2004 · July 2013

@rei_ya - honestly yung friend ko, nag imbento lang sya..
sabi ko isama mo na kung sakaling ibenta nyo mga properties (house, car, jewelry)..

wait natin answer nila @emmy , @jvramos

rei_ya · July 2013

@lock_code2004 pde nman tlga imbento db.. kaso baka di ko na pde sabihin na savings kc nga declared na 19k lang savings ko. i need a source of fund other than savings, which I have nman (lot and house in my name).. pero pde kya yan, kc db "liquid fund" required..

Yoko na kc mgkamali bka malasin na hehe

emmy · July 2013

Ito ung content ng letter ko:

Breakdown of Funds for Resettlement
Funds available as of 28 June 2013, Friday

1. Any liquid asset y
2. My Bank Account Savings
AUD
3. My salary received this month
AUD

Total Funds Available as of 00/00/00 AUD 0000.00

emmy · July 2013

I called WA SS and they told me that what they needed from me was the Breakdown of Funds. Then I asked if I need to provide proof of the funds. The officer told me that I might be required to show proof of the funds later on but what I need to provide them now is the amount and breakdown of the funds.

So I thought it best just to declare any assets na pwede ako mag provide ng proof later on if kailangan.

Though from what I've been told by other people who have been through this, hindi naman daw hinihingan ng proof of funds. Ewan ko lang if they change their rules again in the future.

So there, I thought it best to play it safe and just list the funds that I know I can provide proof if ni require nila.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

rei_ya · July 2013

@emmy salamat po uli.. kaka reply ko lang sa inquiry ng WA.. sana ok na ung reply ko.. hay nkaka tuliro ..nkakakaba.. salamat sa mga tumutulong tlga sa forum..

jvframos · July 2013

@rei_ya wish you the best... maaapprove na yan like emmy. yung sa amin wala pa... wala pa din sila query, ano na kaya lagay ng application naming.

isama mo lang yung separation pay mo from the company, end of service pay ba.... additional source din yun. saka yung cash na makukuha mo upon liquidation of your real estate properties, car, jewelries, furnitures, etc.

emmy · July 2013

Hi @lock_code2004 I've been searching and searching sa DIAC website about sa schedule ng invitation, wala ako makita.

And sabi nga dito sa forum every 2 weeks ang round ng invites. Every 1st and 3rd monday daw. Alam nyo where ko ito mababasa?

State and territory nomination through SkillSelect
Q. If I get exactly 60 points for the Skilled Independent (subclass 189) visa, how long does it take for my Expression of Interested (EOI) to be approved (for invitation)?

A. Invitation rounds are currently held twice a month. If you have 60 points at the moment, then you stand a good chance of being invited in the next couple of rounds provided your occupation has not reached its yearly invitation ceiling.
