medyo matindi ung stress ko dito sa vet kasi diba ung additional doc ko is ung original pirma ko lang sa application form. at dahil dun nadrag ung application ko. lesson learned make sure 100x na tama lahat ng docs ultimo ung application form na pinaka madali gawin sa lahat dun pa ako nadali. God bless sa mga nag aantay ng results.

then on the same day, lodge nadin ako for SS ng ACT. (ACT nalang kc ang only chance ko for state nomination for 190) I currently have no plan B. a bit anxious about this.
question, pag nalodge ko na ba yung SS ko sa ACT, tapos nagclose yung occupation ko say 1 week after my lodging date, icoconsider padin ng ACT yung request ko?
thanks agian!

"You'll need to nominate an occupation as part of applying for Skills Assessment. Begin by nominating the occupation which is most relevant to your skills and qualifications.
Generally for a Skills Assessment application for ENS, GSM, RSMS and 457 visa purposes, we require a qualification which is at the required educational level in a highly relevant field to the nominated occupation as well as at least one year of highly relevant employment completed at the required skill level within the last five years. In some cases, additional years of highly relevant employment at the required skill level can compensate for lack of relevance of your qualification to the nominated occupation."
