I just got my remarked writing results a couple of days ago. Writing was re-scored band 8.5 from 7.5. It only took 4weeks for it to come out. =)I suggest go for it!

@lock_code2004 Hello! yup, i just arrived here last tuesday. Jobhunting mode hehe. Marami na ang nandito on a 476 visa and yung iba ay nakapag PR na rin.

Hey guys! may mga tumawag rin sa akin maybe around 5 na headhunters in total nung nasa pinas pa ako pero hindi rin nag push thru kasi yung iba urgent na talaga kailangan, yung iba naman di ako fit sa kailangan ng client nila. Pero maganda na magapp…

@rbolante oo nga tama, you have an excellent point sir. Actually, I'll be buying my AUD from sanry's next week.

Pwede bumili ng AUD sa SANRYS money changer. May branch sila sa sm makati and alabang town center and greenhills yata. Pwede din through chinabank, may mga clients sila na money changers din tapos sila ang parang nagbbroker pero siyempre may additio…

Sad news indeed. So talagang binubuksan ba ang files sa laptop and external drives sa airport? I think i need to delete yung mga trial softwares ko baka mapagkamalan na pirated..

@iammaxwell1989 Yep you have almost a year to prepare. You should definitely try to apply for a job while you're still here. To be honest with you, it's quite hard to secure a position there while you are still here in the Philippines and I guess …

in Are You An Engineer? (Visa 476) Comment by vinpack September 2012
@iammaxwell1989 It took DIAC less than 3 months to process and approve my 476 visa. I just don't know about your case since you are including a de facto partner in your application, it might take longer. Usually you will be given at least 8-10 mo…

@lock_code2004 hahaha! nagtry nga ako sir kagabi mag fill up ng application for 885. Ayos itong mga tips na ito, salamat!! sana nga ay umabot kahit photo finish at dec 31 ng 11:59pm! haha.

in Engineers Australia Skills Assessment Comment by vinpack September 2012
@lock_code2004 Salamat sir!! Sayang at late ko narealize that I can lodge for this, but im hoping I'll get a quick turnaround for the skills assessment just like what happened to you.

in Engineers Australia Skills Assessment Comment by vinpack September 2012
@lock_code2004 Yes, im doing it in advance sir. Pagdating ko naman next month, eligible na ako to lodge an application for 885. If ever i get hold of the positive results of EA assessment by dec31, I can still qualify for this. Iwas eoi hehe..

in Engineers Australia Skills Assessment Comment by vinpack September 2012
@lock_code2004 885 is a gsm pr visa for onshore holders of temporary visas 476 and 485. I have the impression that it would be so much easier to apply for this rather than submit an eoi for 189 or 190 and wait for an invitation. At least I can dir…

in Engineers Australia Skills Assessment Comment by vinpack September 2012
@lock_code2004 Thanks sir! Im seriously thinking of taking my chances that they can provide results within a shorter period. I just found out that visa 885 is still open for applications til the end of the year, di kasi nagbabasa mabuti e. If I ma…

For visa 190, it is also important to take note of the specific requirements per state. For example, queensland would only sponsor civil engineers with 5 years experience and you also have to be registered to its board. Meanwhile, i believe WA and S…

Reply to @kenkoy: Hey there! yes it includes taxes airport fees already. i believe the standard 7kg hand carry is free but for checkin baggage, it depends on the weight.. if i remember it right, i paid about 2.2k for 30kg. cheers!
