2nd question, wla kc ako makita sa DIAC site regarding re-apply option. Say, na refuse ang 189/190, pde pa ba re-apply ulit? either 189/190 ulit or another visa type like 489? Ang nabasa ko e, sa decision letter i-inform ung applicant ng further options (like review, appeal..re-apply?)

What confuses me though is that the table posted in DIAC's website indicates 487 as one of the visas that has health waiver option. 487 is a Regional Sponsored Temporary Visa lodged onshore. I can't find any information if the 489 allows for health waiver regardless if it is lodged onshore or offshore. And if the health waiver option is available to new applicants.
Thank you po.
Moving on...

- pag 190, once approved na ang SS application mo (additional step ito), automatic na ang EOI invitation for visa processing
Nope, hindi sasabihin ng assessment kung saan ka qualified. It is your responsibility to know what visa type to apply.. if you dont know the difference between 189 and 190, and why one should choose 189 or 190... please check the first post on the "how do i start my application" thread..

For sharing na din, I found someone from Australia who clarified something about Visa 489. PIC 4005 applies to it and no health waiver option is available. Ito ay ayun po sa nakausap ko lamang.
