Essential Skills Visa 2019

[nissde]

Hi Guys,

First time to post sa forum.

We self applied for my wife's ESV last April 20. Normally gano ba katagal approval may offer siya as an early childhood teacher sa Auckland Central. Hinahabol kasi namin ang June at may government assistance ang mga teacher until June lang.

Sinabay ko na din application ko as partner kasi nabasa ko sa forum pwede naman iprocess nga lang after maapprove ang main applicant.


Same time nakareceive na kami ITA so nagfinalize kami ng docs for SMV as i saw din sa forum na matagal SMV at karamihan ganito ang diskarte while waiting for SMV.

Salamat ng marami.

Update: Since April 20 pa yung application when we called NZ immigration, pending case officer pa din. They told us could reach 4 months also posted sa website. Sobrang tagal nga we got used to efficient process sa singapore for work permit pinakamatagal na 1 month.

No use yung letter from employer to expedite. This is for an early childhood teacher post po.

Hope we got the visa soon. Dasal dasal

nissde Sorry to hear that, baka sobrang dami lang nila backlog ngayon. Gumana saken yung letter from employer to expedite sa WTR visa ko dati. Darating din yan, good luck!

[nissde]

Thanks Sunny nagdilang anghel ka nga

Update: after the call to immig next day CO assigned the following day it was approved. Thank you Lord

Yung CO pala sa pinas na din manggaling kala ko from NZ. We got a request to send the passport again
good thing we asked if need pa kasi naverify na ng VFS we just had to send the receipt then following
day dumating na e-visa

Thanks sa group dami tips na nakuha no need for agency sa process all the information needed is available
sa website or dito sa group.

Waiting naman sa Partner Visa ko kitakits soon.

hello po, bago lang po ako sa forum.

sorry po if mali ung topic na napasukan ko. may tatanong lang po ako.

1. gaano katagal po ung processing and approval
2. how soon ko po makukuha ang family ko
3. pde po ba mag work ang husband ko once magka work visa na ako
4. and lastly, pde ko po ba sila isabay na lang s pag alis ko once makuha ko na work visa ko?

maraming salamat po sa sasagot.

leanne positive - There's a tool sa immigration website to determine the visa processing time as well as the fees. See Fees, decision times and where to apply

[atek]

positive - See related post here. Some members sabay-sabay ang pag submit ng visa. In my case, inantay ko muna makuha yung Essential Skills Visa ko then i applied for Partnership Work Visa for my husband so he can work, and Student Visas for my kids who were 3yrs and 1 yr old at the time. 

[leanne]

atek I've heard it takes months now. Sabi rin naman sa website within 3 months. Sa akin dati, within weeks lang approval. Hehe

[allune]

Grabe yung online application picture requirements... pinahirapan ako nang husto Tapos yung hindi pasok sa requirements nila (according to size) ang in-accept... T_T

[nissde]

positive after a few weeks ng pagsubmit sa wife ko nagsubmit na din ako as partner. It took us almost 3 months after maapprove sa wife ko next day approved na din saken.(Thank you Lord)

Graduate na sana for 3 years validity sa ESV. Move naman kami sa SMV submit na kami requirements ITA magexpire na kasi next month yung invite. Sinigurado muna namin maaprove ang ESV kasi with job offer pagclaim ng points.

Hope to see some of you guys soon. Move na si wife next month ako naman sa September

salamat po sa replies nu... tinawagan po ako ng immigration officer kanina. ako po ung nag apply for ESV. normal po ba un? approved na po kaya ung visa ko pag ganun?

[leanne]

allune Totoo! Parang namention ko yan before sa picture. Sumakit din ulo ko dyan kaka edit ng file size. Hahaha

[leanne]

positive You can check online (RealMe/Immigration Online) kung ano po status, if online application.

[allune]

leanne last I used Immigration Online (2016) wala pang ganung taga-check... nagulat lang ako.

@ LEANNE may LIA po ung employer ko for me pano ko po ma check?

pero normal lng po ba ung tinatawagan ng CO kc po nabasa ko na for ESV hindi n raw po tinatawagan eh.

[allune]

positive all your queries has to go through the LIA if you appointed one in your application (or he or she did your application) so unfortunately you can’t follow-up directly if your application has been made through an LIA...

[positive]

ok so you mean I can only make follow ups with the LIA?
I am just a bit worried and anxious re the phone interview with the immigration officer because they say it is uncommon that a CO conducts phone interview for an ESV application. is this true?

[allune]

positive sinong nagsabi na hindi normal ang interview for ESV? Forums? Yung experiences ng iba may not be your exact experience. If your CO warranted an interview for your application/situation the CO is within his rights to do so... Baka ganun ang style niya mag verify ng employment.

You should be asking your LIA for his or her opinion why this has happened kasi us here wouldn’t know... He or she knows your application best...

[positive]

nahiya ako tanungin ung LIA ko... kc ung employer ko kumuha nun.

opo sa mga forums ko nabasa... pero noted po na iba iba ung experience at handling.

last question na po wag po sana kayo makulitan, ung case officer lng po ba makakaalam if naging smooth ung interview skin?

so ibig ko po sbihin need ko lng talagang mag antay ng result? mga ilang araw po kaya?

salamat po sa inyo.

[allune]

If your application has been made with an LIA and kung online application ka... your LIA would have written his or her details sa contact details for this application sa B3... so all correspondence regarding your application will be between who you authorised to do so (LIA) and INZ. This includes B4 din (acting on your behalf)

That was our experience when we lodged a work visa application with an LIA before

[leanne]

positive Kung may LIA po through employer, follow up nyo na lang po sa employer nyo directly.

My CO didn't call for ESV. Ano po ba tinanong?

[positive]

opo mam. meron po ako kopya nyan. na worried lang ako sa interview kasi unexpected although nasagot ko naman siya ng maayos.

puro work related naman po.

in assess kung alam ko ung job tas ung mga test n ginagawa.

opo inemail ko ung employer ko na tinawagan ako ng immigration officer and sinabi ko rin na smooth naman ung interview.

sorry po nag worry lang talaga so naghahanap po ako similar case ko para ma at ease ako.

[leanne]

positive I think it's simply verification lang po na kayo talaga yung nasa application considering hindi kayo ang nag submit. Anyway, waiting game na lang po yan. All the best. 🙂
