5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Hello po!
Hingi lang po sana ako ng advise.
Magkaissue for ba paggrant ng visa is ang Job Title ko po sa Reference Letter? ay iba sa Job Title ko sa Employment Contract? Like for example for Assistant Site Engineer ang sa Employment Contract ko pero Site Engineer an? nasa Reference Letter ko? at Assistant Quantity Surveyor ang sa Employment Contract ko pero Quantity Surveyor ang nasa Reference Letter ko? TIA po.

@ysmnsl I don't think so. No one will check your current job title after you receive your visa.

Good day everyone! Medical Laboratory Scientist here.
Question lang po ulit sorry sobrang lost and confused po ako.
Is it okay po ba na nakalagay na agad sa EOI ko na selected visa ko is 491, 189 and 190? Yung tatlo po kasi sinelect ko in one EOI. Dapat po ba hiwa-hiwalay? Sinunod ko lang po kasi yung step by step guide. Nakalagay po kasi "You can select more than one visa type" pero naririnig ko po kasi sa iba na dapat daw gagawa ng another EOI for another visa.
Also, if you are aiming po ba for Visa 491 for example in NSW, should you put in your EOI po ba sa selected visa mo yung 491 or dapat po magsubmit muna ako ng ROI sa NSW and wait til I get invited before I put 491 sa EOI?
Hope someone can answer or help me po. Thank you so much!
God Bless you all

Hi! Based on my experience, and the other comments on multiple groups, applicants created different EOIs especially to those visa types that will choose states/ regional areas. Hindi ko lang sure kung okay na if: 190- NSW; 491- Regional area in NSW.
I did two EOIs- one for 189 and one for NSW 190. Received my invitation to apply last January 11, 2022 for 190 and still waiting for the grant.
Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Hi! Med lab scientist here po. Dun po sa skillselect, pag magfifill uo ng EOI, need po ba kasama yung middle name(mother’s maiden) sa field ng GIVEN NAME? Thank you po! Also, ininclude niyo pa po ba yung High school sa Education part or College nalang po ilalagay dun? Thanks sa reply po!

Hi, okay lang po ba magsubmit ng EOI for 190 NSW kahit hindi pa po sila nagaaccept ng offshore candidates na Med lab scientist? Hindi po ba marerefuse lang ako at magkakarecord na narefuse? ☹️ Thank you po sa sasagot 🙏🏼
