Pagkabayad mo po ng visa fee, submit form, then saka po nila ask ung medical check up.

Hello! Medyo noob na question. Paano nagwowork yung sa state nomination? Kailangan ko ba maglodge ng EOI tapos kapag pasok ung points ko, automatic yung invitation? medyo vague yung pagkakaintindi ko. any info is appreciated po.

You have search a lot in google. Yan magiging kaibigan mo if you're doing DIY application.
Firstly, search if you occupation is included sa mga occupation na need sa bawat state. U can do this by visiting every website of all the states in Australia.
If its there, basahin mo kung anung requirements. Pag pasok ka pwede kana ng mag pasa ng EOI. Some states ask u to apply through their website. But NSW, they choose from the normal EOI pinasa. From there dun sila mamimili ng candidates. If you get the invited good. But if not u need to make your points higher. Making an Eoi does not gonna give u an invite. Grabe competition ngayun kasi maraming gusto mag apply tulad mo.
BTW... You can't create EOI kung wla ka ng mga ito:
English test results &
Skills assessment.
So if you feel u want to apply, gawin mo muna ang dalawang yan.

Hi everyone! Please sana po may makasagot.
Regarding sa Employment Verification Letter, during visa processing nyo po ba, cinontact parin ng DHA or any officer yung previous employers nyo to verify the job employment?
Meron din po ba dito na nagpasa ng additional employment experience na hindi nila originally sinama sa AIMS assessment? As in additional lang. If yes, cinontact po ba sila ng DHA for verification?
Big help po sana ma-answer. Thank you and god bless!!

hello good day po sa lahat.
inquiry lang po. nag create napo ako ng immiaccount, sa Employment in nominated occupation my ganitong question
"Has the applicant been employed in Australia in their nominated occupation or a closely related occupation at a skilled level, immediately before invitation to lodge this application?"
confuse ako if Yes or No ang iinput ko , kasi di pa naman ako nag start ng work. my employement offer ako pero wala pa ako COE stating sa start date. my visa grant lang, pero actual start work is hindi pa..
TIA po.
