For #1, based din po sa mga nababasa ko, always claim ONLY what you have (aka may proof kayo document-wise). So kung yung new company niyo po is hindi part ng VETASSESS result, pwede niyong ilagay pero don't claim points for it. DHA will invite you based on your points and if false po yung nilagay niyo dun, it could lead to refusal. Ang valid lang po is if you continued working in the same company after your assessment results, mag-rerecompute automatically yung points niyo. Again, based po ito sa mga nababasa ko. Inaantay ko din kasi pa yung results ng akin, then hopefully makapag-EOI na!
For #2, try niyo po ulit mag-take ng exam. Swerte nga po kayo, you can claim as much as 90 points (for 189) if Superior level kayo kasi current niyo is 70. In my case, highest ko na ang 70, given na Superior na yun, which I was able to achieve. Kaya i-take niyo po ulit! For 491, mapapabilis po kayo kasi aabot kayo ng 105 points with Superior English.

Hi. Anyone here po na married status pero not yet legally separated? Anong status nilagay nyo sa EOI - married or permanently separated?
When I choose married kasi, it asks for my spouse's details which I am not planning to include in the application if ever.
Thank you.

Hello!
Salamat sa mga sinabi mo. Honestly, kinabahan ako bigla but keeping my hopes up for this!
Anong code ka po? kase depende sa demand skill code ang pag invite malay mo mas mauna ka pa sakin kasi in deman po pala yung job mo.
For #2 yes, planning to retake talaga ako and hopefully this will be the final and best score!

Welcome po! Kinakabahan po saan, sa assessment? Kaya po yan! Ako din for 3 months ang dami kong anxiety attacks pero worth it lahat.
Code ko po is Statistician 224113. Di po ganoong ka in-demand pero maganda na walang competition kasi mababa po points ko. Dati kasi pwede ako sa ICT Business Analyst kaso nakita ko grabe pala labanan ng points dun. Kayo po anong code niyo?
Sa PTE niyo po good luck! Dun sa "PTE Academic" na thread may guide po ako dun if you want po tignan niyo po

Hello another question po about EOI.
Bale nagsubmit na po ako ng EOI for both 189 and 190. Bale yung two visa types na yun, under one EOI ID lang.
May difference po ba kung magsubmit ako ng separate EOI for 189 and another separate EOI for 190? Bale magkaiba sila ng EOI IDs, pero same email address.

As far as I remember (been a while since I lodged my EOIs), kapag multiple visas ang nakatick sa isang EOI, if you get invited in one subclass, locked ka na dun and you won't receive invites sa other visas. Mas preferred na may multiple EOIs ka for different visa subclasses for flexibility of options. Make sure lang na pag nainvite ka na sa isang EOI, cancel mo na yung iba to leave slots for others.
You can make multiple EOIs under the same address. When I applied before, at one time 4 na EOI ang meron ako lol

hello everyone ,
my inquiry lang po ako about sa EOI. i have found an employer na willing mag sponsor sakin ng visa 482. Pina-process na nila ang for nomination. at the same time i have existing EOI's sa SkillSelect for 189, 190 & 491 na na create ko last year palang 2020 with all the necessary requirements like PTE, CCL & skills assessment. Question ko is by the time mag apply na kami ng visa 482 ko, do I need to withdraw all those EOI's? If di ko xa iwithdraw, anu kaya consequences?
salamat sa sasagot and advance merry christmas to all.

Moral consequence lang yung hindi pag withdraw ng EOI kasi the invitations you could get could've gone to someone else. So once na granted na 482 it would be best to withdraw all others.

I think that should be fine, do not withdraw as you still want the permanent resident visa vs the temporary resident visa like 482, it is okay if you still have open EOIs.

Hello po. Ask ko lang, I received ITA for VIC 190 as Chef. But im currently working as Cook which is a closely related occupation. My skills assessment and 1 year experience is as Chef. Binanggit ko din sa ROI ko na Cook ako sa aged care. Na grant naman un Nomination ko. Will there be a problema once i lodged my 190? Thanks in advance.

For #1, I'm not sure if it applies to all assessing body. Sa AIMS (Med Lab Scientist) kasi, you can claim post assessment experience from a different employer as long as makaprovide ka ng proof of work (COE, Job description etc).
Nag lodge ako ng visa last month and I claimed points for my experience from different company na di na assess ng AIMS. I asked my agent about this and sabi nya it should be fine. Pero I'm not sure kung same lang sa other assessing bodies. I'm still waiting for grant by the way.

hello everyone,
i have a question. is there a negative impact for duplicate EOIs? I have a 189/190 Eoi for all the states that I created last September 2020
and last January 2021, I created a 491-NSW Eoi bcoz if you remembered last yr NSW 491 was going to open for offshore but did not continue because of the threat of the Delta variant and this week I added 190 in the 491 NSW I created last year but I still did not delete NSW from the first EOI created. my skill code(312211) is also in the NSW skilled occupation list and they could be starting the invitations esp. for 190 by next week. I just want some advice or comments on what to do with my duplicate EOIs.
thanks in advance for the reply and Happy New Year to all 🙂

You can create as much EOI as you want but its your moral obligation to delete your other EOIs if you are invited to give chance to others.
