    Hi, I just realized na 5 EOIs ko (out of 8) were invited for Subclass 189. When is the perfect time para i-withdraw yung mga invited EOIs na di magagamit?

    After visa lodgement? I am currently gathering funds for the visa.

    Kung pwede lang transferrable yung invitation. Huhu. :'(

    Why do you have 5 EOIs for one subclass? Anong pinagkaiba-iba nila?

    Also, can someone confirm if withdrawn/unused invitations are being carried over? Ang daming nagsasabi kasi na hindi na daw siya naccarry-over, so ang meaning nagiging wasted invitations na talaga sila.

    They are wasted and still counted into the invitation ceiling for the FY. :)

    May collective report ba somewhere showing ilan na ang na-fill sa allocation per subclass/how many left?

    di ko lang sure... meron yata pag nag request ka through FOI.

    sobrang sayang lang talaga. pati yung mga may invites pero expired ang docs. those slots could have been given to the qualified. :)

    Hi po sa lahat and congrats sa lahat ng na-invite!!

    Tanong ko lang po pano mag lodge ng multiple EOIs? Nabasa ko kasi dito sa thread na meron naka pag submit ng marami pero dun sa Skill Select once lang ako allowed mag create ng EOI though meron options for Visa 190 and 491.
    Nag select po ako ng 190 for VIC,WA,NSW and 491 (Family in WA). Ibig sabihin po ba nun may 5 EOIs ako kasama ung 189?

    Hi, I just realized na 5 EOIs ko (out of 8) were invited for Subclass 189. When is the perfect time para i-withdraw yung mga invited EOIs na di magagamit?

    After visa lodgement? I am currently gathering funds for the visa.

    Kung pwede lang transferrable yung invitation. Huhu. :'(

    Why do you have 5 EOIs for one subclass? Anong pinagkaiba-iba nila?

    Also, can someone confirm if withdrawn/unused invitations are being carried over? Ang daming nagsasabi kasi na hindi na daw siya naccarry-over, so ang meaning nagiging wasted invitations na talaga sila.

    Baka po sa bawat eoi 190/491 submitted ay may kasamang 189 din siya dun kaya nung naginvi rounds sa 189 lahat ng eoi niya na may 189 nainvite sya.

    Sinabihan ko ung isa kong kakilala na gumawa ng ganun na iseparate niya ung 189 eoi niya at wag idagdag un sa mga 190/491 submissions

    Yes. This is what I did. It was an honest mistake. If it's true that these are wasted slots, may this be a lesson for everyone not to tick 189 for every EOI submissions.

    GV lang. Hoping the best for everyone as we decipher the workings of this endeavor. 😊✌

    They are wasted and still counted into the invitation ceiling for the FY. :)

    Totoo ba? Kung ganun, sobrang sayang naman, napunta nalang sana sa iba.

    Ang panget kasi sa sistema nila, hindi based sa name yung EOI, kung di based sa EOI number. Paano nalang kung nurse ka kunwari tapos 100 points ka, tapos trip mo gumawa ng 20 EOIs for 189, so ibig sabihin 19 dun yung masasayang?

    Sobrang bulok naman ng sistema nila, if that's really the case.

    Ang weird, nilalagay naman natin yung date details ng skills assessment and English sa EOI, pero bakit hindi nila tinitignan yun? Dapat part yun ng selection criteria nila, na dapat up-to-date ang mga docs na yun, para hindi nasasayang.

    Sobrang gulo kasi ng sistema ng AU. Sa skills assessment palang, lilituhin ka na. Yung points mo, "opinion" lang daw yun ng assessing body and nakadepende pa din daw siya sa immig. Pero yung immig, they strongly prefer yung sasabihin ng assessing body. Bakit hindi nalang nila sabihin na "we're only going to accept the opinion of your assessing body regarding your points claim"???

    Sino ba yung boss nila? Maturuan ko nga HAHAHA

    Sana yung ibang occupations naman sa susunod na rounds. Ang nangyayari kasi parang occupation-based na yung criteria, not points-based. There are over 600+ occupations sa list nila. If they're going to revolve around 10-20 occupations lang, paano naman yung iba?

    Nakakafrustrate lang isipin minsan, pero at the end of the day, wala naman akong magagawa about it. Nevertheless, congrats sa mga na-invite!!!

    mas frustrated mga kilala ko sa Oz. Isipin mo iba sa kanila nag masters na sa regional Aus, nag professional year, nagextend ng nag extend ng student visa para mapataas ang points to 90+. Yung iba 5 yrs na ginagawa to. Pero ininvite mga offshore na 65 pts lang. Saklap ng immi pero nothing we can do.

    tingin ko kahit naman lagyan nila ng checks yan sa EOI system, since user input ang mga dates na yun, hindi rin nila masisiguro yung pagiging "up to date" and truthful ng mga profiles. responsibilidad pa rin talaga ng mga applicants yun to ensure that. though, i agree that the backend system (the software) itself has more room to improve.

    nakakalito at isang napakalaging sugal talaga ang buong migration journey sa AU. walang duda. but oh well, nothing we can do... all for the promise and dream of a better place to call home, right?

    sabi nga nila, may ibang countries as options naman... pero i dont think perfect rin ang sistema ng mga yun. just pick your poison. :)

Bakit hindi nalang nila sabihin na "we're only going to accept the opinion of your assessing body regarding your points claim"???

    Sino ba yung boss nila? Maturuan ko nga HAHAHA

    tingin ko kahit naman lagyan nila ng checks yan sa EOI system, since user input ang mga dates na yun, hindi rin nila masisiguro yung pagiging "up to date" and truthful ng mga profiles. responsibilidad pa rin talaga ng mga applicants yun to ensure that.

    nakakalito at isang napakalaging sugal talaga ang buong migration journey sa AU. walang duda. but oh well, nothing we can do... all for the promise and dream of a better place to call home, right?

    sabi nga nila, may ibang countries as options naman... pero i dont think perfect rin ang sistema ng mga yun. just pick your poison. :)

    haha I remember when I was applying iniisip ko na nakakainis maghintay, unfair ng rules, laging may binabago etc pero of course, walang pilitan mag apply sa Aus hahaha. As one person said, visa is a privilege, not a right. Tiwala guys, limot nyo na lahat ng struggles pag na grant na yang visa hehe

    Sana yung ibang occupations naman sa susunod na rounds. Ang nangyayari kasi parang occupation-based na yung criteria, not points-based. There are over 600+ occupations sa list nila. If they're going to revolve around 10-20 occupations lang, paano naman yung iba?

    Nakakafrustrate lang isipin minsan, pero at the end of the day, wala naman akong magagawa about it. Nevertheless, congrats sa mga na-invite!!!

    mas frustrated mga kilala ko sa Oz. Isipin mo iba sa kanila nag masters na sa regional Aus, nag professional year, nagextend ng nag extend ng student visa para mapataas ang points to 90+. Yung iba 5 yrs na ginagawa to. Pero ininvite mga offshore na 65 pts lang. Saklap ng immi pero nothing we can do.

    Totoo. To raise your points, you need so much money, time, and effort. Tapos biglang makikita mo na mas favored nila yung mga offshore applicants with lower English and experience.

    I hope I'm not offending anyone, pero yun ang totoo eh. I'm an offshore applicant pero I truly believe and agree that onshore people should be more prioritized, at least for the PR visas. Gumawa nalang sana sila ng TR pathway for offshore people na hindi locked sa regional areas, kasi yun lang ang meron sila.

    Oo masaya rin naman kami for offshore with low points na nainvite. Pero masakit lang din na, I waited 3 years to increase my points to 85. Pero ngayon may CEs na 65 points lang okay na pala? I have a friend sa Oz na 95 points wala parin invite.

    At the end of the day, darating din siguro yung God's Perfect Time for everyone.

    well to be fair lahat naman nang mga nangyayari ay measures dahil sa pandemic. ok naman and walang issues pre-pandemic, expected mo na may 189 invites every 11th of the month, and based sa points nun mga naiinvite may idea ka if kelan ka maiinvite.

    Kaso eto na tayo ngayon, so the government is just doing what they think is best for the economy (I hope). Wala naman silang guidelines and procedures sa migration due to pandemic response so everything is on the fly lang. Might be unfair to some and advantageous to others, but it is what it is. Ngayon if meron silang proper guidelines in writing ng pandemic response nila, yun siguro pwede gawing grounds for any complaint.

    Eh wala, so just take it as what it is, improve your credentials, ensure na walang expired docs, and hope for the best. 🙃

    di ko lang sure... meron yata pag nag request ka through FOI.

    sobrang sayang lang talaga. pati yung mga may invites pero expired ang docs. those slots could have been given to the qualified. :)

    Ang weird, nilalagay naman natin yung date details ng skills assessment and English sa EOI, pero bakit hindi nila tinitignan yun? Dapat part yun ng selection criteria nila, na dapat up-to-date ang mga docs na yun, para hindi nasasayang.

    Sobrang gulo kasi ng sistema ng AU. Sa skills assessment palang, lilituhin ka na. Yung points mo, "opinion" lang daw yun ng assessing body and nakadepende pa din daw siya sa immig.

    haha I remember when I was applying iniisip ko na nakakainis maghintay, unfair ng rules, laging may binabago etc pero of course, walang pilitan mag apply sa Aus hahaha. As one person said, visa is a privilege, not a right. Tiwala guys, limot nyo na lahat ng struggles pag na grant na yang visa hehe

    Haha actually isa ako sa mga nagstruggle and nainis na naging hopeless.

    2017 palang nagstart na ako ng application, naumay na ako sa frustrations...

    Pero nung Oct 6 biglang nagbago ang pananaw ko sa lahat 😆😆😆😆

    Hello. Sa mga recently naglodge or kasabayan ko na maglalodge pa lang ganito din ba sagot niyo sa questions na to? Naniniguro lang po bago ko magsubmit next week. Salamat sa sasagot.


    Yes din po ang sagot ko dito. Since English naman po talaga gamit sa school except for Filipino Sub> @jomar011888 said:

    Hi, I just realized na 5 EOIs ko (out of 8) were invited for Subclass 189. When is the perfect time para i-withdraw yung mga invited EOIs na di magagamit?

    After visa lodgement? I am currently gathering funds for the visa.

    Kung pwede lang transferrable yung invitation. Huhu. :'(

    Why do you have 5 EOIs for one subclass? Anong pinagkaiba-iba nila?

    Also, can someone confirm if withdrawn/unused invitations are being carried over? Ang daming nagsasabi kasi na hindi na daw siya naccarry-over, so ang meaning nagiging wasted invitations na talaga sila.

    Baka po sa bawat eoi 190/491 submitted ay may kasamang 189 din siya dun kaya nung naginvi rounds sa 189 lahat ng eoi niya na may 189 nainvite sya.

    Sinabihan ko ung isa kong kakilala na gumawa ng ganun na iseparate niya ung 189 eoi niya at wag idagdag un sa mga 190/491 submissions

    Yes. This is what I did. It was an honest mistake. If it's true that these are wasted slots, may this be a lesson for everyone not to tick 189 for every EOI submissions.

    GV lang. Hoping the best for everyone as we decipher the workings of this endeavor. 😊✌

    Hehe opo oks lang po yun....go for the best po and congratz po sa inyo, invited din pala ako surprisingly 189 last Oct 6. Nalate ako ng pasok dahil ninamnam ko ang email 😆

    Congratulations pooo! 🎊 😊

    Sapamat po 🙂
