@diannaC II've done this last Jan 2019.. 2 EOIs submitted on the same month, same state and same anzco.. Luckily, wala naman complications. When I got my ITA, I canceled the other one.. hope this helps!

My agent told me po iwiwithdraw na lang niya yung application done ng October 2019 and ikeep ung january 2020 pero hiningi nya muna approval ko. Hindi ba nakaqueue ang EOIs? Like mas mabilis mainvite ang earlier nagsubmit ng EOI? (Of course, consideration din ang points.)

Thanks po

At this point, the lodgement of date is irrelevant. You need to choose between lodging an EOI with lesser points or one with additional points. I could only assume that the discrepancies in your EOI have to do with the policy changes in November. You should discuss such matter to your agent. They’re the best to guide you since they know facts about your case. Any comments you get here will all be here hearsay/unofficial which means you will still have to verify it with your agent.

Thank you so much. I actually have the same points but yeah, the January EOI was made because of the changes last November. Application to 491 was added.

I’m not sure if I get the clear picture. I don’t understand why another EOI was made when 491 and partner’s occupation can just be added on the October EOI - that’s what I would have done on my clients’ EOI’s.

Actually thats my the same question. Why to make another EOI if pwede naman iadd yung sa october EOI. My agent cant answer me kasi she was not the one who did the October EOI. It was the other agent. Hay. Apparently, there is a miscommunication between them. And since paginupdate din naman ang EOI (adding 491 and my spouse qualification), magqqueue din naman na so mababalewala na din yung EOI date ko ng October. Im very disappointed na nasayang yung 6 months na queue ng application namin. Hay.

Hi. After mo ngsubmit ng EOI sa DHA did you send EOI sa site nun state? or ngwait ka lang ng pre-invite or ITA from DHA?

Thanks!

connex7287 · April 2020

Hi @RheaMARN1171933 need you best advice I submitted EOI sa DHA with 95 points last March 28 lang. Need pa ba magsubmit ng EOI sa site ng state or wait lang ako email from DHA for ITA or pre-invites?

Mag EOI ka sa Skillselect then apply sa site ng state na gusto mo. May mga state na need mo Mag apply
Sa site nila.. Antayin mo yung ItA ng state kasi may link dun na idirect ka. Such states are NSW, QLD, SA.

All depends. If 189 you applied for no if 190 or 491, you need to check the state and if direct application is required. All the best

Hello po! Question.

In completing the curriculum vitae/resume for NSW 190 pre-invite requirement, kailangan po ba yung related lang sa occupation niyo na experience or any experience will do? Thank you po.

Hello po. Halimbawa po mainvite to apply for visa 190 tapos hindi makumpleto yung docs within 60days, considered as visa refusal na ba yun? O may outcome na incomplete docs lang? Thank you po sa sasagot.

@jakibantiles 60 days is for you to lodge the visa application. pag inassess ng case officer at may kulang na docs, you will receive a notice about that lacking document at usually you will be given 28 days to submit or complete that.

Hi everyone!

Hope all is well. I am currently waiting for my skill assessment results. If positive po yung results, my partner and I plan to apply for visa 190 (Victoria) at 85 points. In line with this, I would like to kindly ask po sana below questions about the visa 190 procedure for victoria and the financial capacity requirement of 35K AUD for an offshore applicant (with 1 dependent) applying for subclass visa 190 nomination for victoria/ melbourne.

(1) if required po yung funds, how long po kaya dapat na nakasit sa bank yung 30KAUD na funds para di magmukhang suspicious sa bank statement?

(2) ideally dapat po ba naka ready na yung bank statement / certificate bago po ako magsubmit ng EOI?

(3) if selected and maka receive po ako ng invite to apply for Victorian visa nomination, then I will have to submit all the relevant documents and proof to support thr EOI points I claimed including the the proof of financial capacity ng 35KAUD (1 dependent applicant) i.e bank statement / certificate?

Thank you in advance for your time and we grealty appreciate if you can share your thoughts and experience about this.

MLBS · June 2020

Good day guys ask ko lang if may way ba mag follow up ng application? Lodged my 491 last april pa and based sa processing times 71 days daw ang 90% of applications. It's already 73 days for me and simple lang naman case ko since I dont have any work exp docs. I'm sure na covid caused this but any insights? Have no choice but to wait either way. Cheers!

erwayne · June 2020

Hi Guys,

I've been reading lots of discussions in this forum. Napaka informative po, lalo na sa mga baguhan about applying for visas. Although I can Google everything naman, I still have some few questions about visa 491. Eto po isa sa choice ko besides 482. I just want some tips and answers dito sa ating co pinoyauers since na dami niyo na experiences about applying:

1) How does the Skilled Work Regional Visa work in terms of Sponsorship? (Visa 491)Panu po ba ang best move para ma nominate? Should I just wait for the Immigration site or should I send applications state by state?

2) My cut off po ba ang applications for visa 491? Kasi may nabasa akong mga opening dates?

3) Should I just wait until next year para mag apply ? BTW I'm still gathering my documents, I just need an IELTS examination and funds.hehehe

4) Which state ang pinaka magandang i suggest niyo po in case of Visa 491?Depende po ba sa Job?

5) Do I need a job offer first for applying Visa 491? BTW offshore po ako, nasa pinas pa po

Salamat po makasasagot...At maraming salamat din po sa mga sumasagot palagi ng mga questions dito!
Gusto ko lang po mag ready habang naka Quarantine pa at kung anu muna ang pwede ma asikaso.

LovellaEllen · June 2020

@MLBS If it helps, I have a few friends who lodged early April din and wala pang approval so I guess daming backlogs ngayon

LovellaEllen · June 2020

@erwayne Check below:
1) How does the Skilled Work Regional Visa work in terms of Sponsorship? (Visa 491)Panu po ba ang best move para ma nominate? Should I just wait for the Immigration site or should I send applications state by state?
-Wala nmang best move, it just depends on your points and occupation tpos yung requirements and needed skills ng state. Go to their website, check their requirements especially sa points, Occupation lists, etc. Yes, application is per state. You could apply to multiple states though and depende nlang kung anong state mag grant ng sponsorship

2) My cut off po ba ang applications for visa 491? Kasi may nabasa akong mga opening dates?
-yes meron.. before you even apply, check their websites, maybe they are closed. You can only apply if applications are still open.

3) Should I just wait until next year para mag apply ? BTW I'm still gathering my documents, I just need an IELTS examination and funds.hehehe
-I suggest only apply once you have atleast the IELTS results.. And as mentioned, check their website constantly, their requirements might change..

4) Which state ang pinaka magandang i suggest niyo po in case of Visa 491?Depende po ba sa Job?
-ikaw lang makasagot nito.. do your research kung saan best based sa occupation/family mo.. lahat naman ng state maganda eh. If I were you, apply to 2 or 3 state at a time then if mag invite lahat, piliin mo lang gusto mo..

5) Do I need a job offer first for applying Visa 491? BTW offshore po ako, nasa pinas pa po
-Go to their website, some states, this is a requirement

so 1st step mo talaga is check their websites (just google them).. check their requirements esp sa points, occupation list and if needed a job offer ahead or not

Gusto ko lang po mag ready habang naka Quarantine pa at kung anu muna ang pwede ma asikaso.

Just gonna answer this in summary.

Before starting your application need mong ma determine kung anung occupation mo. Sa Anzsco pwede mong icheck kung anung occupation ka and anung assessing body ang mag assess ng occupation mo. DO this first kasi this takes a lot of time. Be cautious too kasi may validity lang ang skills assessment. so kung magpapa assess ka, dapat malapit ka narin mag apply.

you can do two things from here: 1. wait for the assessment to have a positive results or 2. Start acing your English exams while waiting for the skills results. Some people got Superior in 1st test but for others who dont speak English very often it needs lot of review and practice. so Again, timing and planning to.

if you have the skills assessment and English, ready kana mag lodge ng EOI. But of course you dont just lodge anyhow, search again sa Anzsco kung anung state ang open sa occupation mo at kung anung Visa ang inoofer nila. Some offer both 491 and 190 (much better ang 190 kasi PR). still need a lot of research.

Great take away here: invest a lot of time sa research.... kakampi mo si Google dito kasi halos lahat ng infos nasa net na. If you think you situation is a little bit more complicated, hire an agent that will help you. Still, research research research. Or look for the trusted agent here in pinoyau, her name is Ms.Rhea.

Goodluck!

Thank you sooooo much po for the advice! Deeply appreciated them! My nominated occupation po kasi, I mean my target occupation kasi is under Building and Engineering Technicians nec - ANZSCO 312999, which is Shipbuilding Draftsperson and halos pareho din po kasi ng Mechanical Draftsperson yung Job derscription, pero kasi Computer Science ako then ang experience ko is drafting , and mas madali siguro ang 491 kasi pag mechanical, sa EA ka magpapa asses. Baka mas mahirap. Anyway, Maraming Salamat po mam for taking some time on giving some tips! God Bless po!

Just be careful in choosing ur nominated occupation. Lalo na parang nagkapareho sila. Hehe i learned the hard way kasi sa 3rd time ko pa nalaman yung totoong occupation ko. Magkakapareho kasi e. So imagine, i spent AUD2k just for assessment. 😭 Kaya careful sa pag papaasess.

Hi Guys,

I've been reading lots of discussions in this forum. Napaka informative po, lalo na sa mga baguhan about applying for visas. Although I can Google everything naman, I still have some few questions about visa 491. Eto po isa sa choice ko besides 482. I just want some tips and answers dito sa ating co pinoyauers since na dami niyo na experiences about applying:

1) How does the Skilled Work Regional Visa work in terms of Sponsorship? (Visa 491)Panu po ba ang best move para ma nominate? Should I just wait for the Immigration site or should I send applications state by state?

2) My cut off po ba ang applications for visa 491? Kasi may nabasa akong mga opening dates?

3) Should I just wait until next year para mag apply ? BTW I'm still gathering my documents, I just need an IELTS examination and funds.hehehe

4) Which state ang pinaka magandang i suggest niyo po in case of Visa 491?Depende po ba sa Job?

5) Do I need a job offer first for applying Visa 491? BTW offshore po ako, nasa pinas pa po

Salamat po makasasagot...At maraming salamat din po sa mga sumasagot palagi ng mga questions dito!
Gusto ko lang po mag ready habang naka Quarantine pa at kung anu muna ang pwede ma asikaso.

Just gonna answer this in summary.

Before starting your application need mong ma determine kung anung occupation mo. Sa Anzsco pwede mong icheck kung anung occupation ka and anung assessing body ang mag assess ng occupation mo. DO this first kasi this takes a lot of time. Be cautious too kasi may validity lang ang skills assessment. so kung magpapa assess ka, dapat malapit ka narin mag apply.

you can do two things from here: 1. wait for the assessment to have a positive results or 2. Start acing your English exams while waiting for the skills results. Some people got Superior in 1st test but for others who dont speak English very often it needs lot of review and practice. so Again, timing and planning to.

if you have the skills assessment and English, ready kana mag lodge ng EOI. But of course you dont just lodge anyhow, search again sa Anzsco kung anung state ang open sa occupation mo at kung anung Visa ang inoofer nila. Some offer both 491 and 190 (much better ang 190 kasi PR). still need a lot of research.

Great take away here: invest a lot of time sa research.... kakampi mo si Google dito kasi halos lahat ng infos nasa net na. If you think you situation is a little bit more complicated, hire an agent that will help you. Still, research research research. Or look for the trusted agent here in pinoyau, her name is Ms.Rhea.

Goodluck!

Thank you sooooo much po for the advice! Deeply appreciated them! My nominated occupation po kasi, I mean my target occupation kasi is under Building and Engineering Technicians nec - ANZSCO 312999, which is Shipbuilding Draftsperson and halos pareho din po kasi ng Mechanical Draftsperson yung Job derscription, pero kasi Computer Science ako then ang experience ko is drafting , and mas madali siguro ang 491 kasi pag mechanical, sa EA ka magpapa asses. Baka mas mahirap. Anyway, Maraming Salamat po mam for taking some time on giving some tips! God Bless po!

Just be careful in choosing ur nominated occupation. Lalo na parang nagkapareho sila. Hehe i learned the hard way kasi sa 3rd time ko pa nalaman yung totoong occupation ko. Magkakapareho kasi e. So imagine, i spent AUD2k just for assessment. 😭 Kaya careful sa pag papaasess.

Ay ganun ba, I was thinking, sa assesment, kung di match sa ininput mo eh mag su suggest sila ng pinaka malapit sa job description mo. Kung anu pala na input mo, yun na, uulit ka pala?! Yikesss

Haha oo. Siguro nng pangalawang negative outcome ko naawa na ung Vetassess, kaya sila na nag suggest. Hahha kaya sa pangatlong try, nakapositive na.

may 3 lives ka pala sa Vetasses haha kaya kelangan use wisely LOL ilagay ko na lang yung pinaka malapit talaga saka yung alam kong papasa

Hello po sa lahat :-) For 491 EOI, pwede po ba na yung e lalagay ko na state under _"In which State or Territory would the client be interested in seeking nomination from?" _ ay hindi kapareho dun sa state na tinitirahan ng eligible sponsor ko (relative) ?

For example po, yung e lalagay ko sa EOI na preferred location ko is South Australia, tapos yung eligible sponsor ko po ay nakatira sa Designated Regional Area ng WesterAustralia.

Wala po bang magiging issue pag ganito? Sana po may makatulong o maka sagot.... Maraming salamat sa inyo mga kapatid :-)

relaxhax · June 2020

hello po! Ask ko lang po anong feedback nyo about Visa 491 for Med Tech and a Programmer po? Kamusta naman po yung path to PR? May naririnig din po ba kayong feedback about Visa 491 from dun sa mga successfully nakakuha nito?

Thank you po in advance!

Good Day po,

Magtatanung lang po about sa VISA 491, hanggat wala pong opening na work dun sa State na target mo, di ka pwede ma nominate? or pwede ka ma nominate ng state, as long as you satisfied their criteria for future employment?

U have to visit the website of each states para malaman mo kung anu anu mga requirements nila. Not all states ask for job as a requirement.
