Note: There can only be one invitation on an EOI at any time even if more than one visa subclass has been selected. For example if you have a current invitation to apply for a subclass 190 visa you cannot receive an invitation to apply for a subclass 189 visa.
Pero parang may mga nabasa ako sa mga thread na nainvite na ng 190 pero nagaantay pa ng 189?
I understand na usually inaapplyan both 189 and 190 for EOI, pero it means pala na if nainvite ka na for 190, go na un? Kasi wala nang chance for 189? Tama po ba?

Nagsend ako kaninang umaga ng followup email sa CO regarding the status. Then nagreply yung CO ko mga 2 hours after, sabi nya di pa sila satisfied sa proof of relationship na evidences namin ng de facto partner ko. Mejo magtatagal pa ng mga 3-5 days ang response ko kasi nagrequest pa kami ng further details sa bank, phone line saka additional statement from the owner of the place where we stay.
