solidjeff · January 2014

moonwitchbleu · January 2014

moonwitchbleu · January 2014

@raki03 ano ba occupation mo? mag SS ka nalang. ok lang naman ang SS eh, dont lose hope

lexxus · January 2014

@solidjeff tnx sa info atleast maliwanag na.

Another thing meron baka kayo marecommend na pede magpanotarize and ctc na hindi na kasama ung manager ko na pipirma ng affidavit?thanks, hirap talaga pag ayaw magbigay ng job desc ng prev company. Thanks

solidjeff · January 2014

@lexxus sa case ko, ngdraft ako ng affidavit tpos pina-sign ko sa team lead ko before then ngprovide din sya ng photocopy ng id nya.. pinanotaryo ko lng sa notary public.. ok nman sya..

solidjeff · January 2014

@lexxus sa gilid-gilid lng na notary public ako ngpanotaryo at ctc.. may discount pa nga kpg madami kc documents ka papa-CTC eh..

lexxus · January 2014

@solidjeff yeah ganun na lang din gagawin ko waiting na lang sa confirmation ng prev manager ko sana pumayag na magsign.Thanks again!

raki03 · January 2014

@moonwitchbleu software engineer. sa school ako nadali! AMA ako nag graduate. I also graduated as cum laude and batch valedictorian ng east rizal campus. Hindi rin umubra un hehehe

AQF diploma pa rin binigay and minus 5yrs working experience.

SS na lang pag asa ko!

moonwitchbleu · January 2014

ganun ba @raki03? akala ko if you're an achiever when you graduated automatic na Bachelor's. Ok lang yan may SS pa naman para madagdagan ang points mo. Ok din naman ang SS kasi once approved automatic invited ka na din. And more or less 5 weeks to wait for CO allocation. Lapit na yan

^@soma, iirc, one of the regular posters here had his docs CTC'd at a NP in front of the PRC office. You can also try the NP right beside McDonald's Mindanao/Tandang Sora.
I went at prc (near morayta) last 2 weeks ago. Marami nga np dun but are those np's are tested and accepted by ACS? Don't get me wrong kase parang hindi talaga cla law opis or legit. May iba nga dun na para lng side walk vendor at nag set up ng table with signage Notary Public. As per other discussions here, may instances kc na tinatawagan ung law opis or notary public for clarification ng mga nag aacess.
Thanks appledeuce, i'll try to visit these NP's if I don't find any luck with the NP's near our city hall.

@Abraham - I have the same doubts about going to such NP's which is why I initially opted to get certification from big corporate law offices. Unfortunately, none of them agreed to stamp each page, and no one has this kind of stamp in their possession.
@soma @Abraham, kung malapit kayo sa Quezon City Hall, may NP dun sa left wing ng main entrance, PNP office siya. Php100 per document. Mukhang legit naman:

Thanks sa info. nang galing na ako dun kanina at dun na nga ako nag pa CTC. Sana lang tanggapin ng ACS maski hindi nakalagay ung exact words na "Certified True Copy". Ang nakalagay kase is " The under signed Atty XYZ hereby certified that he have examined and compared the original photocopy and attest that the same is a faithful reproduction of the original".

I hope this is sufficient enough with ACS. Kulang ko nalang ung Statutory Declaration from my former manager. If everything goes well, hopefully I can submit my ACS assessment application on Monday (cross fingers). Good Luck sating lahat..... and happy new year.. God Bless.....

Abraham · January 2014

@lexxus sa case ko, ngdraft ako ng affidavit tpos pina-sign ko sa team lead ko before then ngprovide din sya ng photocopy ng id nya.. pinanotaryo ko lng sa notary public.. ok nman sya..

Sa declaration mo ba may contact number ng former team lead / manager mo? Tumawag daw ba ung ACS sa team lead mo?

solidjeff · January 2014

@Abraham whoever signed the affidavit must have the contact number in there. Wla nman nasabi sa akin kung tumawag ba yung ACS sa knya.

Abraham · January 2014

Thank you sir for the info.

raki03 · January 2014

@moonwitchbleu Thanks!

Gaano katagal bago ma approve ang SS (esp. Victoria)? Salamat!

iamfi · January 2014

hi, meron po ba dito graduate from UST? concern ko po is malabo ung transcript na pinoprovide nila..(ung sa husband ko, parang naka fast draft) so pag scan ko khit super high resolution na..malabo pa din..kc i have to print pa. so lumabo na tlga xa pero kung i-zoom xa at familiar ka sa subject kaya naman maintindihan but if ur not familiar sa mga subjects, mahirap basahin... marereject ba un?

billy_kw75 · January 2014

I'm not a graduate of UST, but I've been assessed by ACS before and very miticulous city so better readable talaga.

oauiii · January 2014

Pwd po magtanong ng opinion ninyo if mag apply pa ba ako fot skill assessment.

Graduate ako 5 yrs na bs ece course sa university of st la salle bacolod.

Mag 2 yrs plng exp ko.
Tapos may certification ako ng ccnp.

Pwd ba ma consider ung course ko as ict major degree?

Salamat po.

lexxus · January 2014

Deleting my question regarding file size, maximum is 10mb per pdf. Scan na lang ako ng bago para mas malinaw

lexxus · January 2014

Mga sir dahil sa hindi makita sa scan ung letterhead ng company ko, I'm planning to attach a reference doc yung original scanned(not ctc) na visible ang letterhead just a reference dun sa certified one na malabo. Color silver kasi ung letterhead so hirap nung scan na, tanggapin kaya yun? Thanks, sana meron makapagfeedback.

lexxus · January 2014

Never mind my last comment, i raised the reso to the max. 7mb nga lang better than malabo.:)

Salamat po.

Your CCNP certification is equivalent to an AQF diploma (ICT major). Yung ECE degree mo I'm not so sure. Since 5 years siya, may chance na pwedeng ma-assess as bachelor degree equivalent.

iamfi · January 2014

@billy_kw75 hi..pano mo po nasabi na strict cla? kung sakali na malabo ung docs..hihingan ka lang ba nila ng mas malinaw? or failed na agad un? or rejected? thanks

Abraham · January 2014

Gano katagal usually dumadating ung email confirmation from ACS once nag submit online? Actually, hindi pa talaga fully submitted ung sakin. Nag ka problema daw ung Credit card ko after ko i click ung submit button. Then I received the following prompt on my web browser.

Thank you for registering your application which has not yet been submitted as your nominated credit card payment was rejected by the banking gateway (05,Do Not Honour). Please return to this site asap to complete the process. You can recall and update the details you have entered so far using the application – XXXXXX – and password provided in the acknowledgement email.

Please note that should this “saved” application be inactive for more than 30 days it will be removed from the ACS system!

Basically, my online submission is not yet successfully registered with ACS due to Credit card issue. I am planning to use another credit card as soon as possible but still no emails from ACS containing the password. Hinihabol ko pa naman ngaun na ako makapag pasa kase bukas Jan 15, 2014 na and may new application fee na naman. As per ACS website, $500 na raw starting bukas.

Skills Assessment Fees Update - Effective 15/1/2014

$475 Temporary Graduate – 485 Skills Assessment
$500 Post Australian Study Skills Assessment
$500 Skills (general application)
$550 Recognition Letter
$550 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
$395 Review Application
$395 Appeal Application

Naway ma receive ko ung email today din agad para try ko ulet mag bayad ng ibang credit card. Sayang ung additional $50.

Abraham · January 2014

Nakaka praning naman mag hintay ng email.... Na email ako narin nmn si ACS regarding sa issue ko pero for sure bukas pa sila mag rereply. hindi naman kase sila 24 hrs eh and usually within 24 to 48 hrs sila kung mag reply sa bawat inquiries ko date.

I guess kailangan ko nang tanggapin na hindi ako makakapag submit ngaun araw na to at may additional fees na starting bukas ;( . Ung isang previews company ko kase inabot ng mahigit isang buwan para lang sa COE ko tapos standard COE lang (walang job descriptions). Kaya humingi pa ako ng tulong sa date kung supervisor / manager for the statutory declaration.

Anyway, Good Luck sa ting lahat lalo na sa mga nag hihintay ng mga accessments results and Visa approval. With God's Help, magiging okay din ang lahat... ; ) Think positive parin dapat.....

billy_kw75 · January 2014

Grabe 'no nagtaas na pala sila. Noong panahon ko eh $350 lang. Mahal na mag process ng papeles for migration.

Abraham · January 2014

@billy_kw75 online k dn b nagpasa sa acs date? Gano ktgl magemail c asc ng password? More than 1 day n sakin, wala p dn clng email.... ;(

zoe_girl · January 2014

Abraham · January 2014

@zoe_girl pwede ka n cguro mag email sa kanila. Lagpas na ba dun sa time frame na stated sa site nila?

Ask ko nrin sau kung ilang araw mo na receive ung email from acs containing ng password? I have the application id na pero isisend daw nila ung password sa email ko. Lag pass 2 days na wala pa dn silang email eh. Di ba dapat automatic un? Thanks sa info...

iamfi · January 2014
