1. Base on experience is it guaranteed to get an invitation if I achieve 65 points upon applying for visa 189 under 2335 Occupation?
2. How many months should I wait again to get an invite if ever I apply for this visa with 65points? and how long to get an invite under 190 if I had 70 points?
3. Is it possible to apply for tWo separate EOI account one for 189 and one for 190?
4. How do I monitor if malapit n akong mainvite sa either of the two visa? possible po b itong mamonitor?

1. Base on experience is it guaranteed to get an invitation if I achieve 65 points upon applying for visa 189 under 2335 Occupation?
- Your unit group 2335 is subject to Occupational Ceiling as per https://border.gov.au/Busi/Empl/skillselect#tab-content-3
- It already has met the Occupation Ceiling Value for 2016-2017
- However the Occupation ceilings do not apply to State or Territory Nominated 190. So pwede po kayo apply under 190 if there are states that are open to your occupation.
2. How many months should I wait again to get an invite if ever I apply for this visa with 65points? and how long to get an invite under 190 if I had 70 points?
- It depends on a lot of factors. Some applicants took more than several weeks to a 1 month and half and others just 1 to several business days. I got mine in 1 business day after submitting it on a weekend.
- Priority processing is also being given to 190 because of state/territory nomination but you will need to check on each state if they are open to your 2335 occupation and if they have additional requirements.
3. Is it possible to apply for tWo separate EOI account one for 189 and one for 190?
- It is possible however when applying under 190, some states will discourage you to apply on other states and if you have other open applications. However, if you are invited for both 189 and 190, you can withdraw the other invite and proceed with the other which is better for you but it will be a hassle but doable.
4. How do I monitor if malapit n akong mainvite sa either of the two visa? possible po b itong mamonitor?
- You can monitor it using https://border.gov.au/Busi/Empl/skillselect#tab-content-2 for 189.
- For 190, you have to wait as they are not affected by these invitations rounds as they have their own. As long as you meet and exceed the points required and the occupation is open, you are good to go.
