thank you for answering, tigerlance.
question po. ang ROI ba which stage ng application siya dapat ginagawa? kasi ROI daw is needed for applying to an RDA but I received my pre-invite this May lang, which is past the submission window na for ROIs.

so I'm confused kung magpapasa ba ako ng application form sa RDA, but wala namang ROI. I hope anyone can shed a light on this. 🙂
Hi po! From my understanding, when you send an EOI for 491, since you can opt for different states it’s up to the discretion of the state if they want to invite/nominate you. While the ROI, since you actively sent an interest to a specific region you’re more likely to be noticed and given a pre-invite earlier. This is just from my understanding since I sent an EOI and ROI during March and got a pre-invite in April to specifically the RDA I chose.
I also got another NSW invite on May 12 so I was confused but realized that it required the same process it’s just that you’re free to look for any available RDA.
So in your case po, you don’t need to send an ROI since you already have a NSW nomination. Just contact nalang po an RDA ☺️
