Ask ko lng po kung ano ang usual time frame na makakatangap ka ng invite? Lodged our EOI for visa 489 (state sponsored) for South Australia. Nominated occupation is Developer Programmer. And mas may chance bah na ma invite thru this path if short of points than visas 189 and 190?
Salamat po sa sasagot.
