Unlikely to get any invite for offshore applicants in the current financial year. This is the time to exhaust options to increase points, double check documents are correct abs get in the EOI queue. If you’ve clicked 190 and491, I hope you’ve also applied for state/regional nominations when you lodged your EOI

@RheaMARN1171933 -thank you for your reply. Very much appreciated. I selected "Any" in state/regional nomination. I'm not sure if I should have instead hit a specific state to get invited or "any" is fine.

@baiken thanks for taking time to reply. I'm based offshore, currently have 75, 80, 90 for Subclass 189, 190, and 491 respectively. Should I work increasing my points or they seemed fine? Thanks in advance for your comments

@RheaMARN1171933 -Mas okay po ba na ung EOI, nka specify Kung anong region mismo isubmit ung interest or “any” is fine? Thank you po sa reply

Best to choose a specific state/region and you would need to check out the corresponding process for nomination application for that state/region you chose.
States don’t really like to see that there are other pending applications or you’ve expressed interest in other areas. They like to see that you really intend to stay in their state/region. choosing multiple states/regions wouldn’t be beneficial as it will give them doubts about your intention.

Hello
Can someone enlighten me on this. My school has 2 entry in School/section list. Yung isa section 1 ang nalagay na location is Munoz City, the other 1 is Neuva ecija (misspelled na nueva ecija). Munoz city is in the province of nueva ecija. As far as i know wala kaming ibang campus inside nueva ecija other than munoz.

Hello po, magandang araw sa lahat! Newbie po, and first time to post.
Question lamang po about Eligibility Criteria ng VETASSESS, dun sa Employment Evidence part.. If I can't produce any Payment Evidence ng aking employer dun sa period na yun (e.g. 2009-2013), and tanging evidence ko po ay copy ng signed employment contract & training records ng nasabing period...
Need ko pa ba ito ipa-affidavit (statutory declaration)? Or good as supplementary evidence by itself na po sila?

hello po. ask ko lang po. paano po if may visa ka na 489 pero due to border closures, di makapasok. pede pa rin kaya mag apply ng ibang visa like 189? ano po kaya ang risks or possible scenario? thanks po sa sasagot.

Thanks @JohnPatrick!
Yun po kasi ang suliranin ko now. I did request for records... pero hindi nag kee2p ng payslip over 1 year and company napasukan ko dati.... bank statement naman same din.. up to 7 years lang ang records ng bank ko, hindi na aabot ang 2009 to 2013.
Signed contract, training records, and COE na lamang po ang aking proof of existence sa ex-company ko.
Anyways, hoping for similar situation na makaka-advise po.

ang ginawa ko ksi nag pa Skill Assessment Support muna ako then they will call you kung ano mga dapat mung i prepare if may mga ganyang cases then saka ako nag submit na ng Skill Assessment for General Occupations..so i would suggest mag pa skill assessment support ka muna if kaya naman ng budget mu. Ksi ang possible na pwede mung gawin is since na wala kang payslip which is yan talaga ang hahanapin nila yan ang gawan mu ng statutory declaration - stating kung magkno narereceived mu and then i stamp and sign na lang ng boss mu or company mu.

@kramkirtap Kung sa Philippines yung employer mo, magcreate ka ng account sa SSS website. Makikita mo yung list ng employers na nagbayad ng SSS contribution mo. Screenshot mo yung page na yun. Tinatanggap ng Vetassess yun as evidence of employment since it's from the government. Isubmit mo pa rin whatever other documents to have to support your claim.

You will have a chance for 491 if you have more than 110 points. Accountants have the highest point system in terms of invitation for more than 7 years I guess.
If you are onshore sana, pwede pa, you can increase your points like Australian study requirement, PhD,
Based lang po sa nababasa ko sa ibang forums, and immigration tracks...
All the best nalang po

Ang dami kasi nagaapply ng accountants sa au. Sobrang competitive

https://iscah.com/wp_files/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/July2020predictions.png
Itong prediction na ito hindi nangyari. Kasi wala pang nainvite na accountant this financial year
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect/occupation-ceilings
Next financial year, marami na nakapila na mataas na points around the world. Imposible naman mataas ang invitation agad agad. Gradual. Saka mageexpire na yung EOI ng karamihan kasi 2 years (tama ba) and yung mga english, assessmet, age, nageexpire o nababawasan rin.

hi question lang po.
Yung start date ng pagclaim ko ng work experience is Feb 14, 2013 as per ACS assessment last June 2019 and same pa din ang last company ko. Supposedly it will be 8yrs na yung work exp ko kahapon Feb 14, 2021.
Bakit hindi naupdate automatically yung points ko to 15? as I checked 10pts pa din yung nacount ni immi. Or ilang araw po ba bago magreflect yung updated points? Thanks!

Hindi kasama ang gaps between your employment sa count kahit ilang araw lang pagitan. Meron ba? Eksakto sa araw mag bilang ang EOI.
