Hello Everyone!
I'm a silent reader here since 2019 when I started to process my migration plans. To cut the story short, yesterday I submitted my EOI, finally.
I have a few questions though, and they are following:
1) Will my points be affected on EOI claims? If submission date was only yesterday with a positive skill assessment for 7 yrs with 10pts (Vetassess result April 2020) but on the EOI, I added my recent work experience and count result was more than 8yrs of experience so I got the maximum score of 15pts and I can provide supporting document for this, like COE if needed. They were not part of the Vetassess result at that time of assessment. I'm wondering if possibility will occur that the only counted work experience is the reflected years from the result of Vetassess?
2) I had a hard time getting the desired score for my English Proficiency (so I paused on continuing the process), but I submitted my EOI anyway under 491 with 0pt for english (will have my 3rd attempt in Jan-Feb 2022 and update EOI for 491 & to add 190). My question is, will there be a chance of getting an invite with current score of 70pts (0pt english) + 15pts (491) = 85pts? while I'm in the process of improving my english scores.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and any response/input/feedback/suggestion would really help me!!

Hello everyone!
Question po, anong documents inupload nyo to prove relationship sa relative na nagsponsor for 491visa?
Bale, kapatid po sya ng dad ko, tito.
Naisip ko po birth cert ko, ng dad ko at ng tito ko. Kailangan pa po ba ng family tree? And yung family tree po ba is kahit anong format lang tas papa notarize?

Yes birth certs are ok, ganyan din ginawa ko saken. No need for family tree, makikita naman sa birth certs yung surnames nyo so dun mapprove relationship.

Question: I will apply Subclass 491 but the family sponsored visa. Can my uncle which is my mother’s first cousin is eligible to sponsored me?
Joined: Apr 12, 2022
May chance din po kaya ma invite or nominate for subclass 190 or 491 ang mga teachers?
Joined: May 10, 2021
Question lang po, do we need to file for ROI if 190 po nilodge namin? Or ROI is just required for 491?
Also, if maglodge po ba ng 491 EOI need po ba muna mauna yung ROI or dapat approved po muna yung ROI?
Thank you po.

offshore po? ilang points po siya nung nainvite ng 190?
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
70 points but be mindful that 190 and 491 (not family sponsored) are not subject to priority points. It goes through the criteria of the nominating state/regional area once they approve the application, invite to apply will automatically be granted.
