Hello, question lang po sa NSW nomination application, kailangan po ba ilagay na din yung De Facto evidences dun? o okay na po ba na certificate of relationship lang? cc @RheaMARN1171933 baka po may advise lang po kayo. Thank you po.

Hello! Kami nilagay na naman lahat ng evidences. Pag certificate of relationship lang baka makulangan yung CO. Kami nag include kami ng statement from friends and family, bank statement (joint account), travel photos & itinerary, etc.

Thank you @littlemissy . to confirm lang kahit sa NSW nomination application pa lang or Visa application na ba yung tinutukoy mo? another question din pwede pa rin ba iupdate yung EOI namin kahit na nakakakuha na kami invitation from NSW? may isang school end date kasi na di pa updated sa EOI pero hindi naman siya kasama sa claiming ng pts namin.

Ilagay mo nalang sis para sure. Baka kasi I refused ng NsW ng walang CO contact, sayang ang invite.

Ay sorry, nomination palang pala. Sa pagkaalala ko, wala pa kami nilagay niyan. High-level lang muna yung info na nilagay namin. Pero if you think makakahelp sa inyo, pwede naman kayo mag-add ng info pa.

Hi guys, I'm revisiting this thread that I created 10 years ago
I am helping a friend to apply for a visa, so I looked at the State Sponsorship of different states and they only accept onshore applicants.
Ganito ba talaga ngayon dahil covid? may chance ba na magbago to in the next fiscal year?
Just shock na unavailable ang state nomination offshore.
190 visa sana papakuha ko sa kanila, kaso kung walang state na mag nominate offshore, how to get this visa?
salamat sa mga sasagot

Dahil sa covid lang talaga ito. Hopefully next year babalik na sila sa normal migration

Hi guys, question po sa mga nakapag apply/grant na for visa 190. Nagprovide po ba kayo ng Character Statutory Declaration at Letter of good conduct from employer? Di ko kasi sure kung kailangan pa kasi yung sa checklist ng 190 parang police clearance at form 80 lang ang required. Thank you po sa makakasagot.
