Previous countries of residence
Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence?
Currently, nasa Malaysia ako so ayun ung usual country of residence ko. Then I added another one for our current residence in PH.
Question: shall I only indicate the current residence? Or all of my previous residence? Got confused on the statement "lived in a country other than"

Ano sa tingin nyo ang magandang gawin? Priority ko is 189 visa, so iniisip ko na for EOI, 189 lang muna ang itick. Then if di mainvite sa 189 (after 2 rounds siguro) saka ko i-edit ang EOI to include ang 190 visa. Pwede naman yun diba? Meron na akong 65pts sa ngayon.
Thanks.

I got 60 pts now, but closed pa ang job ko sa SOL. Can I submit EOI na ba (as adviced by the others para naka-que na daw) or should I wait for the re-opening on July?
|Nasa CSOL ung job ko sa South Adelaide, but SA site requires 80 points.
Any advice pls.
Another question. I only assumed 60pts, Vetasses only gave me 4.3 yrs of exp which means 5 pts.. (55pts all in all), they did not include the 2 yrs of exp (i asked them bout this but they dont reply. parang feeling ko they only want me to apply for an appeal para may fee or bayad ulit). I had all the docs to support that 2 yrs, so I assumed DIBP would give me 10pts for the exp.
Is it correct na despite Vetasses gave me 4.3 yrs of exp, DIPB can still consider that 2more yrs?

Yes DIBP will give the final points for your experience although they also consider the suggestions of the assessing body. However, they dont fully rely on it. So may chance na ma credit lahat ang experience mo.
If I were you, just do EOI for 190. Malay mo, e sponsor ka nila. Wala nman bayad ang EOI.
