May ibang tanong rin po ako mga kapatid, under po dun sa 491 visa type dun sa EOI, okay lang po ba na I'll select both "State/Territory Nominated" and "Family Sponsored"? gusto ko lang po talagang maka siguro if wala bang possible issues pag ganito...
Kasi po di ako sure kung alin ba dito sa dalawa ang mas madali or may malaking chance na ma invite. I'm willing naman po to submit requirements for State nomination, tapos we have a relative din po na eligible to sponsor.
Thank you po sa advices nyo in advance :-)

Tanung ko na din po, may chance po kaya na ma nominate ka ng state, kahit di ka nag aaply sa mga Websites ng mga State? Kasi yung target occupation ko po is limited lang, nasa 3 states lang siya as of now, then medyo mahirap yung mga Requirements ng iba, this is for like:
South Australia, kelangan din ng up to 25kAUD, (I dont have that kind of money yet)
then sa NSW naman is kelangan if offshore ka, may immediate family ka? That is from what i've read
then sa Tasmania, kung wala naman daw sa HIGH DEMAND on the TSOL, you will not be assessed..
I'm about to give up na lng talaga....Sorry if I ask too many questions...pero salamat po sa mga responses niyo...sigh

Sad to say na if hindi open ang occupation mo sa isang state, hindi ka pwedeng mag apply. Try mong mag apply sa SA if it's open. Try lang naman. Saka mo problemahin yung pera. Kasi ung nsw and Tasmania mukhang malabo tlaga dahil may condition e. Sa SA money lang ang problema. Ive heard from a friend na hndi sila hinananap ng bank account sa SA. But its case to case basis ha. Hindi ko sinasabing ganun sa lahat. Good luck

Sir, it looks like you are really lost and confused based also on your other posts. I suggest you consult an agent kahit initially lang. I'm not an agent and not affiliated to any but they can help to at least orient you properly. Mahirap magsimula kung clueless ka, at least kung well informed ka na ng tamang info which you can get from a good agent, dun mo ma aassess sarili mo kung mag gigive up ka na ba or hindi.
This forum is very helpful as a basic guide if you already know your target and have a general idea of the process. This forum can also be your motivation and inspiration. But some people just have trouble in absorbing a lot of textual info lalo na kung galing sa iba't ibang contributors/sources because they have different ways of explaining it. So it might be better if you personally consult an expert first, just saying, as i see from your posts.

Di ko alam kung pano mo 'to na deduce at kung anong visa tinitignan mo. This is not true in all cases. Obviously, this is (only) true for a family sponsored visa route.

Yeah, that's right, there's way too much information out there and it is overwhelming, I'll juts probably get an agent or somethng. I tried before though, and this is for visa 189. Medyo alanganin nga daw at dahil ang course ko is different from my job experience, although it's 10 years, kaya di ko na lang din tinuloy. Ngayon eh nahanap ko ang pinaka malapit talaga and under siya ng visa 491, although it's an NEC type. Since you alrady mention po, do you know any other agents or agencies?mas okay kung kayo mag refer since subok na ng iba dito. besides from Respall po? anu na po ba ang agency ni mam rhea if you know her?
and about this forum, that's totally correct, this forum can be a guide, but this is more of a support group to inspire and encourage other pinoys to get their goals and have better opportunities in the land down under. Maraming Salamat po sa advice!

First, NSW 491 stream 2 (offshore) is currently closed. Only Stream 1 (onshore) has opened last week until June 26.
But let's say that applies now, it's easy to interpret what it says. You have to take note of the words "AND" and "OR" at the end of each item.
1 & 2 clearly says "AND" that means you have to satisfy both, then at number 2, it ends with "AND" and you are given 3 cases: a, b and c, each separated by "OR" so it means only one of them needs to be satisfied on top of 1 & 2 requirements to be eligible.
If you satisfy case 1, you are given again 2 conditions to meet indicated in the bullet points. But if you don't satisfy case 1, you proceed with the next options if you can satisfy one of them as indicated by "OR" in the last bullet point.
In summary, eligibility means satisfy 1 & 2 AND one of the 3 choices a, b, OR c.

Do I need to submit separate EOI to state's website apart from skill select EOI? Or only selected states? TIA. Stay safe.

Read up on each state's website if they require separate submission apart from SkillSelect. It also depends on visa subclass.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Matanung ko na din po, may certain months lang ba na pwede mag apply sa mga states? (for visa 491) or depende sa occupation and state hanggat di nagsasara pwede? kasi palagi ko nababasa yung financial year etc etc, tapos start palagi ng pag apply is june or july? for now siyempre may pandemya pa, di pa stable, by january kaya pwede pa? matagal tagal kasi yung vetasses baka di ako umabot this year, sayang yung time

Each state has its quota on how many to invite per occupation per year. The number of applicants nominating the same occupation affects whether it is still available the time you apply. Applications are evaluated based on date of submission so the quicker you sumbit, the higher chance it will be in front of the queue. Financial year in Australia starts July 1 and quota will reset at this time. If your nominated occupation is in demand, most likely many are waiting for it to open and when the quota is low, the quicker it will be filled and could close in just few days or weeks.

Hello po sa lahat, sa may mga agent po. Agent nyo po ba ang nag decide kung saan state ka for EOI? or bibigyan ba nila kayo ng list kung saan pwede based sa work background mo.

Deoende po sa agent.may agent na masipag may agent na hindi. Hehe may kilala akong applicant na yung agent niya is paisa isa lang na state ang inaaplyan. So yung pag decide ng state kung anung aaplyan, it depends kubg sang state open ang occupation mo. Kung madami you can ask kung pwedeng applyan lahat ng agent ung mga states na open. If not, you can apply by your sa ibang states then pag nainvite, i hand over mo sa agent mo. Ganun ginwa nung kakilala ko.
