    Pwede mo i-change yung selected EOI from any to South Australia lang before submitting for state nomination. Madami din akong EOIs but isang state lang per EOI. I think yung ibig sabihin nila na multiple EOIs is yung mag submit ng madami to the same state.

    ok, thank you! i-change ko nalang from Any to SA.

    Follow up question po pala. If ever ituloy ko mag submit for state nomination subclass 491 sa SA, pwede pa ba ako mag apply sa other states habang wala pa ako sa actual process ng visa lodging?

    Kasi hoping pa rin ako na ma-invite na rekta 189 or 190 for software engineers, pero mukhang highly competitive lalo na at Offshore applicant. Ituloy ko na ba tong 491 sa SA kahit may another 3 years pa para maka apply for PR?

    I just got invited for state nomination South Australia Offshore (491). My skill assessment with ACS (Australian Computer Society) has expired since I applied last two years ago during covid.I have 14 Days to submit my documents. and this is the only thing missing. I submitted a new skill assessment ACS again and paid the same amount, it will take 8 -12 weeks according to the website.

    May iba po bang nainvite ulit pag hindi makasubmit ng 14 days?

    Yes. Yan yung ginawa ko actually since 14 days lang deadline sa 491 SA, nag apply na lang ako ng state nomination. Tapos nung na grant na ITA ko, hindi ako nag lodge agad ng visa kasi hinihintay ko pa na baka ma invite ako sa 190 Victoria. Pero may sinet ako na timeframe parang 2 rounds of invitation na kasi na hindi ako nakasama kaya nag decide na ako na ipursue na yung 491 kaya nag lodge na ako ng visa.

    Doable naman yung reqts para maging PR after 491. Stay ka lang ng 3 yrs at mag work with income > than $53900 which is kayang2x actually On the 4th year, pwede na rin mag apply ng citizenship same timeline lang ng 190 so carry na.

    Hindi ko to nagawa but may nabasa ako before na nagsubmit pa rin sya kahit expired na pero sinubmit nya rin receipt para sa bagong assessment tas minessage nya ata yung SA. D ko matandaan buong details pero meron ganyan dito before.

    ok, thank you @ina008. hindi pa rin ako maka apply kasi nirerequire ni SA na may salary details yung COEs. Eh yung pinasa ko sa ACS walang salary details kasi di naman required. yan tuloy. :D

    bale yung documents na pinasa mo sa SA nomination is same lang nung sa ACS no? wala nang notarized/certified documents? may nabasa kasi ako sa terms and conditions nila kaya medyo na confuse ako if sapat na ba yung scanned docs na pinasa ko sa ACS as documents for SA nomination application.

    I lodged mine last January 1.
    Automatically after payment, may email na sesend for medical and biometrics. then I only have 28 days to process those requirements.

    I don't know how long the visa processing is, I think case to case basis.. sana ma approve agad.

    Good Luck!

    oks, check ko ulit sa ImmiAccount ko. ilang beses ko na kasing binalikan, wala talagang section for Character Documents or Other Documents. kaya akala ko after payment pa ang pag attach ng Form 80.

    basta ang napansin ko parang may steps na nag jump. diba nasa 20 pages yung ImmiAccount, pero may ilan na nilaktawan. :)

    Hello po.
    Sa mga nag lodged po ng 491 SA, okay lang po ba na i-click na yung "I confirmed I have provided information requested" kahit pending pa yung medical? Or dapat lahat ng requirements (biometrics and medical) tapos na bago i-click yung button? As of this writing, naka initial assessment pa din un status ng sakin. Salamat po

    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)


    2020

    Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
    Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.


    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.
    Jul 17: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Jul 20: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 8.0 R: 9.0 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: EOI – I received a notice that my EOI is expiring on August 23, 2022, so I had to resubmit it.
    Aug 23: EOI – My Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect expired after 2 years.
    Aug 25: EOI – I submitted my new Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect.

    My points breakdown:
    Age: 25
    English Language Ability: 10
    Education: 15
    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.

    Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).

    Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.
    Dec19: – I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.
    Dec 30: PTE – I took the PTE Academic English Test. My test results came out the same day: L: 84 R:84 S: 90 W: 75. I didn’t get the scores that I needed to achieve Superior English.
    Dec 31: PTE – I booked another PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 361.28). My exam date was on Jan 09, 2023.

    Jan 09: PTE – It was my test day. The results came out on the same day: L: 90 R:85 S: 90 W: 80. I finally got the points that I needed to get Superior level of English.
    Jan 10: EOI – I lodged my EOI for NSW Visa 190 and was able to reach 70 points again to qualify for an invitation. By this time, the minimum points for all occupations were already removed by NSW.
    Jan 12: PTE – Booked my wife’s PTE English Test for USD$ 291.60 (SGD$ 401.85). Her exam date was on Jan 20, 2023.
    Jan 20: PTE – It was my wife’s test day. The results came out on the same day. She got a Competent English result which is additional 5 points on my EOI for Partner’s Qualifications (English).

    As far as I am aware, yung ROI is only for the Highly Skilled and Talented stream. If normal stream, they will just pick your EOI from your Skillassess submission.

    Just be mindful, if ever you get an invite to apply for state nomination from Victoria, you may have to disclose invite from SA > @ohnana said:

    Not anymore. It used to be but they changed it this financial year
