Nasa process po ako ngaun ng pagkolekta ng documents ko para ipasa online sa Vetassess. May mga tanong po sana ako regarding dito:
1. Sa mga documents po na required i-upload, tanong ko lang po kung kelangan ko po magpagawa sa abogado ng certified true copies ng lahat ng documents ko or pwde ko na iupload ung original documents ko basta colored sila. Sa mga documents ko po kc, colored ang aking passport, birth certificate, diploma, transcript of records, certificate of employment. ung ibang documents naman po ay black and white pero colored ung mga signatures (certificate of graduation, english copy ng diploma, payslips). Para po if ever, ang ipapagawa ko nlng sa abogado ay CTC ng aking passport size pictures saka ung statutory declaration na outside Australia ako at the time of application. (kung sakali po na kelangan talaga ng CTC para sa lahat ng documents ko, hingi na rin po sana ako ng tip kung saan mura magpagawa nito. nasa Manila area po ako.)
2. Regarding payslips po, nasa 2years po ako sa present employer ko sa ngayon, and naipon ko po ung payslips ko mula nung nagsimula ako. Iuupload ko po kaya lahat ito or ok lang na mga 5payslips lang ang iupload ko. Naisip ko po kasi na baka mapagastos especially kung magpapagawa po ako ng CTC nung lahat ng un, kung maaari rin naman po na iilan lang ang ipasa ko sa kanila.
3. Ung uploaded files ko po, ok lng po kaya na pictures galing sa digicam ung files instead of ipapascan ko po sila? magkasinlinaw lang din naman po kasi sila, mas mataas rin po ung file size ng scanned files.
4. Regarding po sa payment, wla po kc ako credit card. Ung sa money order po, pwde po kya un sa Western Union? If ever po ay itatanong ko na lang sa kanila ung process nun.
5. (out of topic question): Curious lang po ako, bkt po kya mas maraming nag aapply ng Independent at State/Relative Sponsored (189, 190, 489) kaysa sa ENS (186). Naisip ko lng po na mas madaling makapunta ng oz kung may employer na kgad na kkuha sau.
un lang po sa ngaun. pasensya po kung ang mga sagot sa tanong ko ay maki2ta rin sa ibang pages dito sa pinoyau, nagbabasa basa lang din po ako, pero kulang din sa oras. salamat po ng marami.

1. for assessment, normally kailangan CTC dapat.. unless nagbago na ang reqt ng vetassess.. any valid notary public lawyer, basta may address sila at pwede macontact in case mag verify ang vetassess
2. yup, hindi nmn buong taon kailangan.. normally yung last payslip for the year para may summary.. or pwde 2 payslips per year...
3. im not sure kung mababasa ba ang content pag picture ang file..
4. hiram ka credit card ng friend mo.. or baka pwede debit card..
5. mas madali kasing mag process ng independent kesa aasa pa sa employer.. although meron din nmn nag ssponsor, pero bihira lang... so kung walang employer,, mas feasible talga mag independent application na lang..

February 3 2014- Present: Awaiting case officer
I still have not heard anything from immi since day 1. I called them yesterday and they told me that the processing for subclass 190 is up to 6 months. They told me that I already have a case officer but I have not heard anything from them. My documents are complete and I already did my medicals back in December last year to get ahead.
Can someone share how long does it usually take to get the grant letter if all your documents are complete? This is for the 190 Visa. It's been taking ages and I currently work here in Sydney as a Regsitered Nurse.
Thank you.

As advised by your previous case officer, the department has put a hold on all Skilled Nominated visa applications. At this point we are awaiting the go ahead from the Minister, until then you will need to check the website daily for any changes to this direction.
I understand that the time taken to process your application may be causing concern to you and we hope to be able to process these visa applications in the near future.
