    Question for people who have spouses.. Plan kasi namin mag send ng form 80 and form 1221 each. Tama po ba ito? If yes, need pa ba ng form 47a para kay wife..?

    Also.. For employment history, what if currently employed? Ano yung ilalagay sa "date to" na field? Parang d akma na ilagay na "present."

    Thanks.. Sana may makasagot..

    @rich88 kung kaya mong gawin prepare mo na both Form 1221 at Form 80. Alam ko di na kailangan ang Form 47A.

    For employment date sa immi ilagay mo lang yung current date na isubmit mo Form 1393 mo.

    Hi :) . I first submitted my EOI on Sept 2015 with 60 points for visa 190 (NSW). But since I have not received any invitation, I decided to take PTE and was able to get additional 10 Points for English. I edited my EOI and applied for visa 189 instead with 65 points last Aug 3 2016. What is the possibility for me to get invitation this Aug? My worry is that next month my points will be deducted by 5 points due to age. Skill code is 261311.

    @pen_sonic you can apply 190 for 70 points also to increase your chances of getting an invite. From the last round of invitation (Aug 3) https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil/3-august-2016-round-results check mo if yung occupation mo is nakasama sa cut off.

    I have the same worry. kasi after 3 invitation round decrease na nang 5 points ako. kaya sana ma invite before the birthday.

    @SHERNOF Its always best to have all your documents ready prior to visa lodging parang kay @chewychewbacca. Para pag ready ka na to apply upload na ng sabay sabay. In that way, mas malaki chance mo sa Direct grant at mas maikli lang ang waiting time. Pag nakontak ka kasi ng CO tendency is dagdag uli ng 28 days. :)
