    Hello Everyone,

    Need help nman po! Nasa process na po ako ng verification for State Nomination sa ACT, may portion po sa requirements nila na..

    "Personal research into recent advertised positions relevant to the nominated occupation (a minimum of 5 vacancies and not more than 8).
    You must provide:
    • copy of the full advertisement. It is essential that the date of the advertisement as well as the location where the job is offered is displayed. Web links alone are not acceptable and, if provided, could result in the criterion not being met; and

    • an employment statement.You must explain how your qualifications, knowledge, and experience relate to and meet the requirements of each of the job advertisements. "

    Ang question ko lang po eh ano ba yang employment statement na yan? essay type ba yan na parang cover letter ang dating?

    Any help is highly appreciated po, thank you!

    @ako_na_ang_bida mukhang bagong requirement yan, as far as I can remember that was not a requirement before for SS. In my opinion, essay type lang yan which is similar to the commitment statement that you also need to submit if you are applying for a state sponsored visa.

    All the best!

    Hi, Question sa mga nakatapos na po, naglodge ako ng application ko for Visa last Nov 6 pero hindi pa ko nagpapamedical. I'm thinking kasi na baka maglapse yung validity ng medical bago komabigyan ng CO. Should I undergo med test na or wait for CO? And how long should I wait for a CO to be assigned? Mag 1 month na kong waiting e. Thanks.

    Good day! Plano ko po mag-try ng state nomination sa ACT dahil nakita ko may ANZSCO 263311 (Telecommunications Engineer) dito. Kaso napansin ko na "Limited" ang status nito.

    Ang explanation ay :"Nomination places are limited. Occupations must be verified before the application for nomination is lodged."

    Does this mean na dapat may job offer dapat yung mga mag-aapply for "Limited" nominated occupations sa ACT Occupation List? O not necessarily meron job offer?

    Thanks!

    No need for a job offer. You just need to get your nominated occupation verified with ACT then that is the only time you can apply for state nomination.

    It is like a pre-screening process. Once you get the go ahead from verification then applying for state nomination will be easy as it is basically the same documents that you will be sending them.
