Hello. I just received the pre-invitation from Victoria.
Tanong ko lang kung totoo bang notorious and Victoria sa pag-reject ng application sa pre-invite? For what reasons?
Joined: Aug 22, 2019
September daw po. The pre-invitation email should have a title of “You have been selected to Apply for Victorian Nomination..”

It's on the Victoria ROI page po.
"How do I submit a Registration of Interest for Victorian visa nomination?
1. Make or update an Expression of Interest (EOI) on the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system. You must create a new Expression of Interest if your existing one is expiring within the next 12 months."

There's a lot of architecture-related work being advertised in Melbourne. Have a look at LinkedIn, Seek, or Indeed. Although please note that "architect" jobs being advertised usually require you to be registered as an architect in Australia. AACA doesn't recognize automatically recognize PH registration/credentials here. I would suggest you look at architectural draftsperson or graduate architect roles when looking for work.

baka po siguro di pa pre-invite talaga yung natanggap natin and wala pa talaga sa system nila yun EOI natin kaya invalid.
kapag nakareceived napo tayo siguro ng ganto doon palang pwede mag apply for visa 190.
