makaka-receive ka ng TRN number upon clicking on apply for visa button. Kahit draft pa eto.. meron ka na... you will receive an email stating your TRN details... kahit d ka pa nagbayad... this is what I experienced. I believe you were not able to create your TRN yet as it is possible that you did not save it or encountered other technical errors. I suggest you go back to your EOI page... click on the visa subclass that you are applying for then lodge visa... it will then lead you to another page stating your personal details and the TRN number... there is a note there to copy and save it since you will be using this as reference of your application... you can opt to continue until payment or save a draft... you should receive an email from DIAC... kindly check again..

If you can still edit your EOI, please do the correction first. Kung naka-lock-in na po ang EOI dahil sa invitation, confirm with DIAC, otherwise, need to wait for the deadline para ma-edit then wait for another invitation.
dati po ganito ang pwedeng way but Not 100% sure whether it still works this way now...

i think PRC license will not affect the skills assessment (especially if you are practicing abroad)..
but, it might affect (based on people's experience) the assessment on your Education Qualification (whether it is equivalent to AU Degree or AU diploma)

1.) Can I still edit the information i declared sa pag fill-out ng forms during visa lodging?
2.) On question re "overseas employment", i understand this pertains to employment outside Australia. So ang answer ko dito YES with a duration of 8 yrs..." Tama?
3.) Do I need to state "intended state of residence"? I put in Victoria, intended lang naman pwede pa magbago.
4.) On question re "secondary level and above educ". Do I need to include pati yung secondary (high school) level ko? Hindi ko n nilagay to kase hindi ko naprepare yung mga highschool docs ko, baka kase hingan pa ako ng proof. Meron naman akong docs kaya lang hahalukayin ko pa sa baul or baka diko na makita. Ok lang ba wag na ilagay yung high school ko?
5.) "Date To" of current employment. Ayaw ma-save when i left it blank. So I just selected the current date. Ganun din ba ginawa nyo?
6.) On question re "outstanding debts on any public authority". I have pending housing loan application to pag-ibig waiting for processing and approval and I assume it will be approved soon, do i need to declare it? What I did, since hindi pa sya approve, i answered NO to this question. Pero sooner, do I need to inform my CO pag approve na loan ko? Worried ako baka makaapekto sa visa appln ko.
Thanks. I hope you can take time to answer my questions. God bless.

Regarding po sa subclass 190, last June 2013 ko pa po kc na submit yung EOI at up to now dpa pa po na seselect.
Yung mga SS application status ko is:

May chance parin po ba ma select yung application kung hahayaan ko nlang yung application ko dun sa Skillselect at dna mag apply ng diretso ng SS sa mga website ng states?

why dont you try na si Mrs ang primary, mag pa-assess sya as Structural or Civil Engr.. etc..

and based sa information nyo Victoria/ACT na lang ang available, but requires 7.0 IELTS in each module..
So i think your only option is to retake IELTS and get 7.0... then apply for SS Victoria/ACT..
kasi kung maghihintay kayo ngaun, hindi po talaga kayo maiinvite without SS approval..

You can claim 10 points po for your work experience, based on the result letter you indicated.
Your educational qualification po, based on the result letter, you can claim 10 points din po. Unless your school belongs to section 1, then safe to claim 15 points.
