1. nagfile ako 189 65 points tapos lumabas sa EA na education ko 10 points.
2. nag amend ako ng EOI 189-60 points.
3. nag appeal ako sa EA na gawing Bachelors degree aking education which they approved.
4. nag amend ako ulit ng EOI 189-65
so basically sa case ko ang aking original declared points is valid kasi ang unang declared points ko is the same sa final points ko....
i hope this answers ur concern....
how about you ano ang delimma mo?

1. Submitted EOI on November 1 based on an EA outcome October 14
2. May inupdate ako sa EA at may bagong outcome letter at ang date is November 4, so inupdate ko rin ang EOI ko base sa latest outcome letter ko..
May correspondence nman sa EOI regarding sa update and ang nakalagay na Date of Effect is yung latest submission date ko pero kanina, as mentioned above, I tried to click the "Apply Visa" button sa skillselect at I notice na yung EOI date of submission na naka-indicate is yung initial date pa which is November 1.. kaya parang conflicting diba..
