Has anyone received their EOI today, especially those IT folks?
Havent received mine, guess that I am not invited and need to wait....  I am thinking to re-sit my IELTS, got average 6.5 in my last test. Can you guys recommend a few good ielts books? If you have IELTS books to throw away, kindly donate :0) Thanks! This post has been edited by jurlique08: Jul 1 2013, 11:18 AM |

QUOTE(jtsl9 @ Jul 1 2013, 11:30 AM) When did you submit your EOI? The EOI submission will last for about 2 years (depending on your IELTS certs and your profession certs) from the submission date. If you don't hear from them after than period of time, means you are unsuccessful. Submitted EOI in May. They should have refreshed their quota today and send out invitation.I am not too sure how soon after submitting EOI will they respond because I have yet to gone through that stage, still waiting for the respond from the organization assessing my qualification. You mentioned that your IELTS only got an average of 6.5, means you don't need the point from English test to meet the score requirement. As the minimum score should be 7 across all band in order to get 10 points from English test. Maybe they changed the English requirement because they tend to that.  Yea aiming to get 7 to get higher score... |

Dear All,
Finally receive my EOI yesterday. I am about to submit my visa application. I am not sure if I still need to attach all my employment verification letter to the skill migration portal or should I just attach ACS letter ? Points test and skills assessment □ Applicants who are required to meet the points test must provide evidence to support their claims against each relevant criterion. Evidence that the main applicant has, at the time of invitation, obtained a suitable skills assessment in their nominated occupation on the relevant Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Lastly, do I have to go thru the medical examination now or wait for the instruction from case manager? □ Form 26 Medical examination for an Australian visa. Two other forms provide background information: Form 1071i Health requirement for permanent entry to Australia Form 1163i Health requirement for temporary entry to Australia □ Form 160 Radiological report on chest x-ray of an applicant for an Australian visa. Please let me know if you have gone through the process. TQ.. This post has been edited by jurlique08: Jul 16 2013, 04:30 PM |

My union, APESMA, publishes a yearly tax guide for members on how to claim with easy to follow examples in a 30 page document. What kind of job? Yea.. economic is bad in au now. Hopefully it will turn better after election. Nevermind, if you need a job fishing logs and want good pay and are up in Queensland, just PM me. My old boss is looking for good people and he pays 25 dollars an hour after deducting everything. If you're good enough you can easily go up to 40 or 50. Sadly.. many of my friends will come back to MY soon after trying hard to find jobs for more than 6 mths. |

QUOTE(Nemesis1980 @ Aug 1 2013, 12:30 PM) I'm in construction industry specialised in Quantity Surveyor. As far i know, if you have no local experience, you have to start from zero. Come early or later, still start all over again. I took decision to come early for my children future education sake. Thumb up Nemasis. Do you have any fallback plan? If cant get any job, will you continue to stay and find odd jobs or will you return to MY?So far applied like 50 over application, 10 got rejected, 2 got interview. I think the market is damn slow. I know some angmoh who work as manager just at 25yo. 5 years exp and dunno shit. Salary hitting AUD90k/annum & above. I think malaysian got more capability than them. Getting the 1st job is a huge challenge. Take watever junior job. after 2-3 years the salary will shoot 40% up. Ozzie pretty glamour their local exp. and software. What you learn or work in malaysia might not really work here. So, be prepare my friend Do you hv friends there/Renting a place? What is ur strategy? I wish you all the best Nemesis |

QUOTE(Nemesis1980 @ Aug 15 2013, 11:54 AM) I go thru agents. If u got time, DIY also can. Hi NemasisI paid upfront at AUD2500 after the assessment. Before submission the whole application, paid another AUD3600. My case is pretty easy, no hiccups coz i get 65points. So i had it in 6 mths. I think they just want u to pay and commit with them. RM9K is not small amount How long does it take to assign case manager? It has been a month since I have submitted my application but the status in the DIAC portal is still showing 'In Progress'. Not sure what's next? Congratz for getting a job! You must be really outstanding. My friends cant even get any jobs (IT - the so called hot job SAP) after spending more than 6 mths looking. I wonder is it due to the factor of the salary that we request? Do you guys think that we should lower down 20-30% when the agent asks for the expected salary?? |
