Hi @bluezaido
Nabasa ko yung signature mo, pumasok kayo sa MEL under student visa, then nag apply ka ng 190 VIC with 60 pts and after a month may invite ka na. Naging advantage mo ba yung nandyan ka na sa MEL bago ka nag file ng EOI for 190? Nagbabalak din kasi ako mag student visa and habang nag aaral mag file din ng EOI.
Cheers,

Maraming benefits ang onshore applicants, need mo lang mag invest sa simula dahil mahal ang cost of living and school fees lalo na pag family. Pero pag nagkaron na ng job full time ang recommended makakabawi sa expenses + may savings pa (depende sa lifestyle)
