22 Nov 2007 - Police report submitted

I went all the way to Putrajaya and submit the application form downloaded from Malaysian Consular website (www.kln.gov.my) for the police report application form (The form is named as Letter of Good Conduct, http://www.kln.gov.my/?m_id=8&c_id=103). Let see when we can get it back after submitting.

Different countries might be different for submitting the Police report. Please refer to the link below:

14 Nov 2007 - Woohoo, ITA!

I received a confirmation from the EOI officer that my appeal was successful after she escalated to her manager. My NZIS website applicaiton status changed to Selection Successful! Now, it is the time for the long journey for preparing the documents .... I think i should start with the medical and police report first.

8 Nov 2007 - Fighting for my honor! Charge!

First, I immediately tried to call the EOI officer and she is a very nice lady with sweet voice. She mentioned to me that my degree and master were not IT related and this caused some problem. Hey, I have worked in this industry more than 10 years and I rated myself pretty good in this field. I explained to her that US engineering degree trained student with programming skills for the design work. and I tried to collect all the relevant documents such as all my professional IT training certs, sun certified java programmer certs, my ex-bosses recommendation letters. I even tried to call my first company's mother company and managed to dig out some very old payslips (found 2!!) to prove that I was their employee. Send all these documents thru FedEx....

7 Nov 2007 - Finally a response from NZIS!

But it was not a good news. I was told that my EXPRESSION OF INTEREST – SELECTION CRITERIA NOT MET because my points wasn't enough 140. My IT jobs was excluded from the evaluation because my degree wasn't IT related (I am engineering graduate). Well, I am certainly going to appeal for this. 

OK, i need to prepare my argument points for this appeal. First, working exp started from my first company...oops, they are no longer exists ...so guys and gals, keep your first letter of offer and resignation acceptance letter for your life because you will never knows when you need it someday.
