Just wanted to seek your advice on this matter -
I received last night 9:30PM ITA for 189. Then around 1PM today, I received an email from Victoria state that my application for SS has been granted. Now, I have 2 ITAs, my priority is 189. What should I do with 190? Shall I email Victoria state or let the ITA to be expired?
Thank you!

And could please someone clarify this? Copied from liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au
"If you have registered your EOI on SkillSelect and you are nominated by the Victorian Government, you will automatically receive an invitation to apply, subject to occupation ceilings."
Meaning pag meron na positive nomination, lodge lang ng EOI but sure na ma invite na?
Thanks sa sasagot.

1) Victoria State Nomination - either 190 or 489 - given to successful Victoria applicants. Meaning, before you get a nomination, you have to apply first. Instructions are in their website.
2) EOI - you can apply the visa there. 479 190 atbp. Upon application in Vic, you have to lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) thru Skillselect.
3) As for Vic, they will email you that you are nominated. The invitation is automatic from SkillSelect. As for lodging the EOI, see #2.

Tingin ko isa sa mga reasons dahil 60 pts lang ako at pro rata na 2335 (mechanical).
Yung time na nareject ako was 70 pts. ang invitation for 189.
pwede naman ulet mag apply after 6 mos.
