regarding the Visa 489 - sponsored by a relative, required po ba ang occupation ko ay nasa Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or pede kahit nasa Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL)?
"If you are nominated by an Australian state or territory, your occupation must be on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
If you are sponsored by a relative, your occupation must be on the relevant list of eligible skilled occupations."
Confusing kasi ung list of "eligible skilled occupations" e.
Thank you.

Last 2009 nag apply po ako for VE SubClass 176 Skilled Sponsored Migrant via a migration agency kaya lang po last 2015 nagkaron ng Cap and Cease of Application and I was refunded the money for my visa application.
This year po I'm looking at lodging another application for Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) for the Invited pathway. Meron po akong cousin at uncle na matagal na pong citizen (sila rin yung nag sponsored po sa akin for the 176 visa)
Based po sa points calculator I got 75 points. I already took IELTS pero I'm thinking its expired na so I will need to take another one. Hopefully, I will get 7 band scores ulit.
My question po is regarding the VETASSESS, yun nominated ko pong occupation last time is Program or Project administrator and na assess po ako for that and I got a positive outcome. Pwede ko po bang gamitin ito once nag nominate ako ng bagong application for the "Organisation and Methods Analyst" which is listed now in the Migration (IMMI 17/072: Specification of Occupations and Assessing Authorities) Instrument 2017.
About lodging naman po the application, I understand I need to write first EOI via SkillSelect now. Is it advisable po ba to take IELTS and submit another assessment for the new occupation?
Any advise po and help will be appreciated.
Salamat po

Then may nabasa po ako about ACT closed na daw po for overseas applicants pero if you have close ties like family then you can still apply. Also, yun nominated po na job ko asa list sya pero when I check sa ACT closed na din po yun application. Ibig po bang sabihin hindi na ako pwede mag Apply ng visa?
Maraming salamat po ulit sa mga magrereply

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.

I believe nasa website din nila yung processing time for nomination at depende sa occupation, nakalagay din sometimes yung required points for specific occupation.
Paki-check mo na lang itong link,
