I'm pretty sure, manually nila chinecheck ang Listening exam kaya hindi sila magiging strikto sa formats maliban nga lang kung sobrang mali na ng spelling hehe

Who knows mas tumindi pa ang criteria since palapit na ang eleksyon, every new administration, madaming iniimplement na changes sa immigration laws sa US and usually pa-strict ng pa-strict kasi unlike AU and Canada, may oversupply sila ng skilled people dun..

Pagdating ng Nobyembre, mukhang mananalo si Tony Abbott bilang Prime Minister kaya malamang hihigpitan na naman nila yung immigration guidelines :-S

also, if you are applying online... you can start filling-up the online application form and just save it kung di ka pa man matapos.. then you can retrieve it after.. hindi mo pa kailangan ang mag attached ng documents while doing this..
after mo magbayad online.. they will send you confirmation email with your transaction number (TRN) and the same list of docs required... pag meron kana nito.. saka ka pa lang mag attach ng lahat ng mga required docs..
