1. Submit your documents for skills assessment. If Vetassess ka, try to avail of their express service for an extra fee para mabilis.
2. If positive ung skills assessment mo then take your english test and gather all documents. Note: you can take the risk of sorting our your english test while waiting for the result of your assessment yun nga lang kpg negative ung assessment mo then baka msayang ung fee sa english test)
3. If positive ung step 1 and 2, gather all your documents to support the points you will claim. Note: ensure that you have all the supporting evidences kasi once na ma-invite ka you only have 60 days to lodge the visa application.
4. Kapag kumpleto na ung supporting documents mo then lodge ka ng EOI.
If your occupation is not one of those capped professions like IT or accountants, there is a possibility that once you lodged your EOI you may get invited quicker than what you expect so better be prepared as early as possible.

Just to clarify,there are different streams of visa 489. I'll explain the difference:
a. 489 (family/relative sponsored - subject to quota by immigration)
- to be eligible for family sponsorship, you have to have an occupation listed in the independent and family sponsored occupation list https://www.acacia-au.com/IFSOL.php
- if yung occupation mo wala sa list then your relative CANNOT sponsor you.
b. 489 (state sponsorship - not subject by immigration quotas but state may have their own limitations)
- to be eligible, you have to have an occupation listed in the State occupation list that will sponsor you
- if wala sa list ng state ung occupation mo then you CANNOT apply for 489 SS.
Which one of the above applies to you so I can give you a more direct answer?

You mentioned in your earlier posts that you wanted to apply for ACT SS? ACT usually closes its SS for overseas applicants quicker than other states (this time only 2 month since July).
I would suggest to keep an eye at the ACT SS website every now and then coz you'll never know if they will re-open again, otherwise, every July, each state refreshes their state nomination.

So if ung main applicant lang ung compulsory to comply with the 2yrs. stay, kaming dependents pede nalang sumunod sa kanya say like after few mons. or maybe a year later?
after mag IED, pede kami bumalik muna ng pinas? wait lang para mag.settle c hubby tas balik ulet sa Au in time for 887 application. Is this feasible?

If you can get PR visa via 189, then do that rather than 489.

489 has conditions and I think it can be renewed just in case it expires BUT you have to meet the 2 year live/1year work to be sure that there will be no issues. I believe immigration will conduct some checkings for people applying for RRV.
