Hello sir @batman thank you po sa sagot niyo. Ok kang po ba na may account po sa agency tapos mag oopen ako at mag submit ng eoi? Pano po yung record ko ng 2020? Ibig po bang sabihin na pag nag submit po ako back to zero ulit?
Nako contact naman po sila kaso, ang tagal pong sumagot kasi yung naghahandle na ng papers/account ko eh nasa ibang bansa(oman) po siya naka assign, samantalang nasa uae po ako. Di ko rin po siya matawagan directly. Matagal po kasi sumagot sa email at kadalasan seen mode lang sa whatsap.
Di ko na po inisip yung sa bayad, nanghihinayang naman po ako dun. Pero mas importante po kasi sa akin ngayon eh umusad man lang kahit papano yung application ko. Parang idle po kasi sa agency eh. Ni hindi nga po ako sinasagot sa email ko pag may offshore na bukas at kung pwede mag submit ng ROI. What I mean parang di po sila interested na kumilos.
Marami din po kasing mga nag reklamo sa kanila, basi sa Review from the internet.

Hi guys, is it ok mag-create ng multiple EOIs for 190/491 (one EOI in each state)? I also have EOI for 189/190/491 (which has "Any States" as preferred location) and 190/491 for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, ACT & WA. I heard na mas prefer ng state na specific sa EOI yung state nila, I wonder kung may implication ba by doing this? I just want to expand my chances and aim to get invited max Q1 2023. Thank you

Hello to All, question lang po. I had three different employers in my entire career. Do I need to submit all the payslips from my past employers or only the payslip from my existing employer po? And ganun din ba sa COE, only from the existing employer lang? Thank you in advance.

Hi @haringkingking , sorry di ko na clarify pala. Tapos na ako sa EA assessment. Bale yung payslip at COE na iniisip ko na isusubmit is for succeeding processes after EA.. for example, for invitation and lodging ng Visa..

Sana kahit yung points benchmark mag ease ng kaunti. Ang hirap if you're sitting around 80-85 points kasi puro 90+ pointers ang nai-invite. Plus, the invitation rounds should be reverted to monthly. The new minister is showing compassion and concrete plans. Sana maging maganda ang pasok ng new financial year.
