    if i did not follow up with them siguro baka matagalan pa ng konti, since i submitted the final doc (sg police clearance) last friday, i was expecting to get an update on the uploaded document the next monday. but until thursday no update whether the document i uploaded has been looked into (the status is still 'Required' instead of 'Met'). so i decided to email them friday ng madaling araw and around lunch time i got the result. it looks like the CO assigned to me is no longer with DIAC since a different CO granted my visa.

    Thanks guys. malaking tulong ang forum and the advice of people who post here. One last hurdle left, that is, to find work in australia. Sa mga naasign-an na ng CO dont hesitate to follow up baka kasi iba na pala naghandle ng application nyo like in my case. Im not sure if it is common practice or talagang wala na yung CO na naghandle ng case ko.

    Guys! I got "suitable" assessment from ACS just this morning! God is so good. :-) I was not expecting it this early. Since I've submitted, I have been checking the ACS website. hehehe But this is the first time that I've decided not to check it today and to just check my gmail. Lo and behold! That was fast, considering ACS has only acknowledged receiving my documents last March 5. :-) From "With Assessor" to "Case Finalised" :D

    Hello All,

    Bago lang po ako dito sa forums. ISystems/network administrator po ako dito sa Pinas. Ask ko lang po kung ano po ba ang 1st step to apply for a license to work sa Australia? Pwede po ba ako mag submit ng docs sa ACS para ma certify kahit na wala yung job description ko sa list 1 ng SOL?
