    @imeetr - yn nga plang BDO ATM card ko is also a debit card. so pwede ko plang gamitin yun? anybody here who already tried it? may extra charge ba aside from the Bank's currency conversion, since my savings account is in Php?
    @sherneb- I have the same question regarding extra fee kung BDO ATM (Savings Acct) na Mastercard Debit Card ang gagamitin. I saw from your timeline na nakapag lodge ka na visa application mo. When using credit card kase may 3.525% Visa or Mastercard fee pa kase for foreign currency transaction. Sayang din kung makakatipid dito palang. Will try calling my branch later pero will greatly appreciate if you can share your experience. Thank you in advance!

    @jcal149 Yes it's better to ask your bank for all the details. @ sherneb i saw your post regarding credit limit for your CC, If you have credit card and you're thinking for additional credit limit, the easiest way to do without signing new application is you just need to pay in excess to cover the amount you need, for example let's say you have an available credit limit of 200k and your visa application fee is amounting to 350k, pay 150k to cover up the 350k. It happened to my sister one time she overlooked her bill and unintentionally paid in excess of the total amount due, the CC company doesn't return the excess payment in cash, they just informed my sister to use the excess payment to her next purchase, but to make it sure please call your CC company first. :)

    Definitely... a lot of company shut down their operation in between the Christmas and New Year dates. Even if walang shutdown, there will be a lot of people taking their breaks on these dates hence you can surely expect a delay in visa processing...

    Usually kasi when you start applying na there should be a question which would be asking about your legal rights to work in australia...

    Sometimes I would indicate it in my cover letter...

    Hello po.. I hope someone can advise me with regards to my name change. Here's the scenario.. I got an annulment for my previous marriage, so I reverted back to my maiden name, then I remarried. During our visa lodgement, there was a question if I am currently, or have ever been known by other names? Do i need to specify my previous married name although it is not valid anymore? If so, how do i amend, kase we ticked no.

    Hope someone can advise me on this. Many thanks in advance.

    I was also contacted by Visas Simply. Pero for the same reason na nasa India ang mga agents nila, I decided against their services. at medyo makulit yung agent. kept talking about how there could be missed opportunities if I don't apply for a visa now. napaghahalataang may quota na kelangan ma meet e. Also, mahirap kasi maghabol kapag overseas ang migration agent. There's time differences and other factors to consider.

    Need any of your advise po. Nalilito lang ako and just want to make sure na din po.

    Dun po ba sa Education History portion ano po ba tamang ilalagay ko? Based on ACS assessment for my qualification po ba? or yung Bachelors Degree ko talaga?

    Salamat sa mga sasagot. :)
    hello po... yung nilagay ko po jan is kung ano yung educational assessment saken ng ACS... :) kac yun din ang magagamit nyo to prove the educational points you claim... :)
    Re po sa Education History (above concern), eto po ba yung sa question tungkol sa "highest recognised qualification"?? Nabasa ko po sa explanation link na "this is the highest recognised qualif that the applicant has undertaken and not the highest qualif relating to their nominated occupation".. Nalilito din po ako kung ilalagay ko po ba yung bachelor degree ko na not related sa nominated occupation or yung diploma as assessed by skills assessment body?? Sa EOI ang nilagay ko lang po yung diploma related sa nominated occupation.

    a) yung skills assessment mo is based sa skills+ relevant educ qualification - so kung anung na-assess syo na skills, ung related educ ang iassess nila.. (ex Cook, diploma in Culinary)

    b) now if you have another qualification (example Bachelor in IT), pero not related to your nominated occupation, definitely hindi yan i-assess ng assessing agency mo.. if you want to claim points for that, you need to have an additional educational qaulification to assess the equivalency of that degree (if that BS IT is equal to an Australian Bachelor Degree)

    you can request Educ Qualification Assessment sa "VETASSESS"...

    gets?

    Thanks po re reply @lock_code2004!

    Lately ko na lang po nalaman (after anmc skills assessment) na pwede ko ding ipa-assess yung non-related educ qualification ko sa vetassess (dito ko nabasa sa forum). Naghahabol po ako sa time dahil mababawasan yung age points ko (-10) pag inabutan ako ng birthday ko kaya di ko na pina-assess at di din ako sure kung bibigyan ako ng 'comparable' to oz bachelor degree yung sa Phils (nasa section 2 yung school). Kaya nag-go na ko sa EOI. Sa EOI, yung diploma lang ang inilagay ko. Sa visa application, na-encounter ko yung question re 'highest recognised qualif'.. Nalilito ako kung i-me-mention ko pa po ba yung bachelor or kahit hindi na, ilagay ko na lang yung diploma??

    @koalabearoz - you cannot put it in your EOI, kasi baka automatic pag lagay ng points sa Educ qual, tapos wala ka namang basis (Educ assessment) for claiming that points...

    anyway, kung nasatisfy mo nmn ang total 60pts sa EOI at mainvite ka na..
    that will be good..

    pero mas malaki ang chance sana kung mas mataas ang points mo...
    why not submit your EOI... then continue with vetassess educ qual..
    pag nauna ka nainvite.. disregard the vetassess...

    pag hindi ka nainvite at dumating ang vetassess result... edit your eoi to reflect the changes para tumaas ang points... (that is kung AU degree ang equivalent).. atleast you tried..

    goodluck..

    @lock_code2004

    Hindi ko po nilagay yung bachelor sa EOI. Though 10pts na-claim ko sa educ for diploma, umabot naman ng 60pts. Got SS approval at naka-receive na po ako ng invitation to apply for visa. Inumpisahan ko na po sagutan yung visa online. Dun po ako may concern sa pagsagot sa visa question.. better po ba na mag-stick na lang ako sa diploma without mentioning the bachelor??

    Salamat ulet sa reply.. =)

    ayun nmn pala.. di mo sinabi agad.. nagpakihrap pa akong i-explain.. lol..
    pwede mo na ilagay yang bs degree mo sa visa application..
    makikita nmn ng CO mo na hindi mo yan claim sa EOI...

    at kung sakaling gusto ka nyang bigyan ng points dyan sa degree mo, eh nasa decision na yan..
    basta ang importante, yung mga claimed points mo ay kayang suportahan ng docs na i-upload mo..

    goodluck..
