Also, pwede ka ba mag submit ng state sponsorship in multiple states at any given time? May iba kasi akong nabasa sa forum na ganun yung ginawa. Pero sa EOI kasi mamimili ka ng state eh. This is for 190 po.

Like in our case, husband is the primary applicant, lahat ng pamilya niya nsa australia na, kami nalng nandito sa pinas, one sister is in melbourne, yung isa sister is nsa adelaide together with their mom, since south australia yung state na pinili namin, kahit nakaspecial condition yung occupation we can still apply kahit 60pts lng kasi parang sponsored kmi ng sister in law ko na citizen na sa adelaide. Usually kse 85 points ang nkaspecial condition pra maaprove, husband ko kse is 60pts lng kaya ng-under chain migration kami pra makaaply pa dn kht di sya 85pts
