Yes dapat same state...your nominated occupation must be in Primary Skilled Occupations List and must live in the same state as the sponsoring family.

What do you mean po? Wala naman documents na sinasubmit sa Skillselect. Mga information pa lang po yan ninyo about experience, language, age, education, partner, .

Hi! newbie lang sa forum, I’m trying visa 190, currently with positive educ skills assessment. Can I still push through visa 190 if suddenly si assessing authority hindi nagbigay ng positive outcome at all sa work experience ko? So meaning 0pts ako sa work experience pero ang magiging pts ko pa din overall is 70pts. Or need talaga may macredit na work experience para makapush sa pag apply ng visa? Hope may makapagclarify.

Dapat po positive skills assessment. Yan kasi ang basis ng state na magsponsor sayo since 190 ang gusto nyo. Pag negative ang outcome nyo po baka maling anzco code kayo nagpa assess. Pwde kayo pa assess ulit sa ibang job code naman, magastos lang. Ang aim is to have positive assessment po para sa points. Check nyo po anung assessing body nyo, always check their requirements at mga details na needed. Iba ibang assessing body, iba iba ang requirements na kelangan.
✨Anung industry po kayo? Pra ma direct po kayo sa tamang thread according sa occupation nyo.

Hello po sa lahat :-) Gusto ko lang po sana maka hingi ng advice regarding 491-Family Stream. My wife has an aunt & uncle living in Perth (Regional Area) who are both Australian Citizens and both retirees, living on their pensions. Wala na po silang ibang source of income. Pwede po ba silang maging Eligible Sponsor for our 491 Visa Application (Family Stream) kahit retired from employment na sila at wala ng ibang income?
I would appreciate it if you could give me some ideas po tungkol dito. Malaking tulong po para sa amin. Thank you very much :-)

3. assist my relatives financially, to the extent necessary, during the period of

@baiken Maraming salamat sa encouragement nakakabuhay ng loob at nakakapag bigay ng pag asa po talaga ang ganyang message Kasi 95 points na po ako sa 491 since July, pero until now wala pa po talaga.
Yung 189 & 190 ko parang gusto ko ng bumitaw, kasi parang hirap pag pro-rata occupation (ECE) para sa 189 with only 80 points. Tapos yung 190 for Electronics Engineer, need po na currently residing in Australia or may Job Offer.
Sa visa 491 nalang talaga ako kumukuha ng pag asa Dasal lang talaga.
