    Hi Guys,

    I am a Telecom engineer and already got favorable outcome from Engineers Australia last week. Currently I have 75 points. Planning to submit EOI before Aug. 22. I have questions po for your advice and comments...

    1. Okay lang ba magsubmit ng EOI for SC189 at SC190 at the same time?
    2. I am also planning to submit for 189 muna, then after 3 months pag wala pa ding invite, i will switch to SC190. What do you think?
    3. These days, pag 75 points yung applicant, mga ilang months kaya bago makatanggap ng Invite?
    4. Ang chance ko nalang to increase my points is NAATI? Can you share details po sa mga kumuha nito?

    Thanks in advance :)

    1. Yes.
    2. See #1.
    3. Slim to none. Aim for 90 points.
    4. It's one of the ways. There's also PTE, Australian Qualifications, etc.

    October daw lalabas ang budget. Abang kayo sa news. Hopefully earlier than 11th para maraming mainvite. Usually at the start of fiscal year, nasa 1200 per round hanggang Feb pero dahil sa coronavirus, syempre mejo maapektuhan. Prayers move mountains, kaya dasal lang po tayong lahat!

    Hello po. hindi ko alam kung saang specific topic ko post ang question ko. Pero I really need your help po.

    I have lodged my EOI for 189 Aug 2018. And another EOI which is Valid until Feb 2022. Still waiting for ITA. I am a pre primary school teacher (early childhood teacher) with english prof points (20points from my PTE Acad which is valid for au migration until Aug 2021).

    Since ang tagal po ng invitation for 189 and nasagad ko na yung points na pwede ko makuhanan - NAATI, Work exp, and closed ang QLD and other states for 190 invitation, nag apply na kame sa ibang countries for migration. Yung agent namin wants us to take IELTS General training asap.

    Ang concern ko lang po is, kelangan ko ba palitan sa EOI ko yung PTE test ko with IELTS? Or retain ko lang po yun since valid naman until next year? And yung IELTS kukunin po namin is General training not ACADEMIC.
    Naka encounter na po ba kayo ng ganitong situation?

    Please need help po.

    Thank you so much

    Guys good day, may way ba magfollow up ng lodged visa? Lodged na 491 ko since april 9 yet wala pa rin ako grant. Very straightforward application ko since no work exp ang pts and pinasa ko agad additional docs na hiningi saken ng CO. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Darating din yan bro. Marami talaga naka bridging ngayon at ang focus ng government talaga siguro ay covid. Naglabas na sila recently ng ceiling for 2020-2021 so good news yun ibig sabihin uusad na ang immigration ulit

    hopefully bro I guess wala na talaga ako magagawa kundi maghintay thanks!

    Good day!

    Kamusta po?

    Mag ask lang po sana ako if meron po ba dito nag try na imsg ung DHA para ma lift temporarily ung need for biometrics para makapag proceed ung pag pprocess ng visa?.

    Under po kasi kami ng 491 visa application ng wife ko, however, d po kami makapag proceed due to need for biometrics. Sarado pa din po kasi ung VFS.

    We are both nurses.

    Salamat po.
