thinking positively, I might be nominated for state sponsorship, which usually takes 3 months to grant. however during the application for state sponsor ship, I am planning to take my ielts again hopefully ill pass I can get a total of 65 and be eligible for 189.
does applying for state sponsorship lessen my chances for 189 invite?
Would it be wise to create a new EOI for this?

Here is the story of the points that I can claim for 189 and 190?
189 visa - I can claim as much as 70 pts before my bday this July. Sa pagkakaintindi ko, yung pts for your age will be based on the time of your invitation to apply. Tama po ba?
190 visa - I can claim as much as 75 pts before my bday.
Should I just go for 190 route? Gaano po ba ka stiff ang competition sa 189? I intend to apply as Software Tester.
