Wala naman akong plan gumawa ng any trick para makalusot.
My point is sa Engineers Australia Assessment: Nakalagay doon na;
"Total work experience assessed: Jan 2006 to May 2013" (which is 8yrs na sa Jan2014) Sinama nila ung May2010-July2010 na gap between employment ko.
Pero sa EOI computation, 8yrs ay sa Apr2014 pa. (because of the gap between my employment record na May2010-July2010 hindi nila isinama)
Kaya ako naguguluhan kung pwede na ba ako sa Jan2014 or really need to wait Apr2014.
Just in case hindi ako magIELTS ulet.
I hope you get my point. thank you....

I got an invitation last year for SS489 in SA, but unfortunately was not able to apply in time ( 60days) ( expired)
Now I have retook ielts and was able to gain additional 10 pts.
Questions
Can I reuse my EOI to apply to another state and for a new type of visa? from 489 to 190
Will it not be taken against me if I have been invited before but not was able to lodge the visa application?
Please share if you had experience before. Thanks in advanced!

May confirmation ba ng final points sa EOI?
One more thing sa ACS ko nakalist yung lahat ng work ko from 2002-2013, pero sabi nila since June 2007 lang ang relevant, pag nag EOI ba ako i li list kong lahat from 2002 or from 2007 lang?
meron din bang issue kung wala akong work since mar 2014 (about 6 months) pag nag lodge ako ng EOI? ACS date approval is (Feb 2014).

Total Points lang yun, walang breakdown for each section (e.g. Age, Education, etc..)... Makikita mo lang yung Breakdown for each section kapag sinubmit mo na yung EOI. Pero at least may idea ka na kung ilan points mo before submission.
You can list all your work experience in the EOI, then may drop-down selection dun (Yes/No) kung relevant sa Nominated Occupation mo yung work experience. Wala ka bang work, or you mean continuously working ka pa rin with the same company?

Age - 30 pts (31 years old ako next month)
Bachelor Degree - 15 pts (based sa ACS assessment comparable daw sa AQF Bachelor Degree)
IELTS - 10 pts (min. 7 for each band)
Work - 5 pts (8 years overall, pero ang ni tag as skilled ng ACS 4 years lang)
ang question ko yun sa work experience, may part dun na iisaisahin yun experience, 3 yun nasa listahan ko..yun nilagay ko na una March 2010 - April 2011, kase sabi ni ACS March 2010 daw yun skilled, pero yun experience ko talaga is March 2006 - April 2011. Ok lang ba yun? or dapat March 2006 - April 2011 nilagay ko sa EOI? worry ko lang kase baka maisama sya sa claiming ng points, tapos mali pala...
wala ba magiging problema later on pag nireview ng DIAC nakalagay kase sa COE ko March 2006 - April 2011...tapos sa EOI nilagay ko March 2010 - April 2011.

1. would there be any issue/s if we allow our 189 EOI to expire? or need ba tong iwithdraw?
2. can we just use the same EOI? or do we need to submit another EOI for 190.
Thanks in advance!
