    I read somewhere na next financial year nadaw ulit mag invite sa mga occupations na yan,not sure kasi medyo conflicting yung info sa website nila. Please go through below link.

    http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil

    @Electrical_Engr_CDR Si hubby ang main applicant, his skill is in SOL... kaso we need extra 5 points so we are exploring on getting partner points. We will apply for visa 190. Kaso ang confusing part is the partner's skill (which is my skill) is not in SOL but it is there in CSOL.

    So not sure kung pwede ba yun to qualify for partner points na 5points for visa 190.

    Others who have the same experience po can share din :) salamat.

    @iriscidiscent kung 190 ang aaplayan nyo dapat nasa csol yung skills ng hubby mo. ibig sabihin parehas kayo nasa csol diba. so pwede yung partner skills. make sure lang na nasa sponsored list ng state ang both skills nyo.

    Hello.. Im a newbie here..just want to ask your opinion as we are about to start our application for EOI..
    First, ask ko lang po sana if san classified ang work namin ni hubby...
    We are both technicians from electronics (semiconductor) company. And both graduate po kami ng electronics eng'g technology.
    Si hubby, graduate na po now ng BSECE, and ako po is BSIE (Industrial Eng'g), pero wala pa po kami experience sa eng'g positions so we are still applying technicians.
    Any insights po? Thanks!!!
