    Meron dati dito sa forum na RN whose visa application was rejected. Marami kasing ANZSCO codes for RNs. Nainvite sya for a different code kesa yung nasa skills assessment nya. Sa refusal yun yung nakaindicate na reason, mismatched ang skills assessment with the occupation in her locked EOI. Maybe you can check with a migration agent para sigurado. Malaki din yung visa fee and magkakaroon ka ng history of visa refusal, which is not good.

    I got a 491 invite from SA yesterday. Yung nilagay ko sa EOI is 262112 (ICT Security Specialist). Can I still change the occupation for the state nomination to 262111 (Database administrator) since closely related occupations naman sila?

    Nainvite ka dahil yung dineclare mo dun and you can support your claims with paper work.
    Kung ano ginamit mo sa EOI, and nainvite ka as ganun, di mo na palitan.
    Afterall visa grant nalang inaantay mo, di mo rin masabi if you will practice yung nominated
    occupation mo pagnandito ka na.

    Why change occupations? Dahil ba mali yung ICT Sec Specialist and yung tama is Database Admin, or just because? If just because, keep as-is na lang kasi wala namang bearing ang nominated occupation mo sa magiging work mo doon. But if iibahin mo dahil mali, I think you'd need to lodge a new EOI with the correct occupation.

    Nagsubmit kasi ako ng multiple EOIs for ICT sec specialist and database admin, pero yung ICT skills assessment ko is for database admin talaga.

    "Your skills have been assessed to be suitable for migration under ANZSCO Code 262111 (Database
    Administrator)"

    I thought before na I can still use this skills assessment given that closely related occupation naman sila.

    Sayang ang invite. All submissions must be based on written evidences not presumptions.

    Kasi may occupations na ganitong points ang iniinvite nila.
    Example Code 1 is 90 pts and above, Code 2 ay 75 pts lang. Kung iba ang inattach mo na assessment, pero nainvite ka. Do not proceed na maglodge kasi sayang lang.
    Unless meron ka ng assessment for both and hindi nagexpire. If nagexpire, parenew ulit

    pasok ata sya sa condition #1 from
    immi website:
    Closely-related occupations must be:
    1 in the same ANZSCO Unit Group or
    2. consistent with a career advancement pathway or
    3. recognised by an assessing authority that it is closely related to your nominated occupation, as part of your skills assessment

    I think it's the other way around, that if your experience/occupation is closely related to ICT Sec Specialist, dapat ICT Sec Specialist yung pina assess mo. general rule of thumb is consistent yung application mo sa documents mo.

    I could be wrong, not an agent, but I haven't seen anyone na iba yung occupation sa EOI compare sa assessment.

    @RheaMARN1171933 is a registered agent, she can give her insights to this.

    That’s the biggest mistake one can ever do. Use the occupation you got assessed for.

    I don't think invitation rounds for any visas come announced, so I believe nobody really knows exactly when but of course there are speculations based on the trend e.g. VIC rounds go 'monthly'.

    I think the more specific, the better since you are trying to convince them that they should nominate you.

    Hello. I received an email from South Australia to apply for State Nomination.. Ito ba ay one step closer na or sinesend lang din nila ito sa lahat?

    did you get Invited to apply for nomination? or di you apply for nomination sa NSW website mismo? Thanks!

    PS. I'm asking because I received an email from SA to apply for nomination. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na each state pala inaapply pa to get nominated, then nakita ko meron din NSW. Now thinking if ituloy ko ba mag apply for nomination sa SA (since sila nag email sakin) or try ko NSW (kahit wala sila email sakin).. Limited budget for fees. :)

    Kailangan ba maghintay ng invitation to apply for state nomination na email? May natanggap ako invitation to apply from 491 SA pero kung may choice mas gusto ko sana NSW. Kung isa lang ang kaya ng budget, should I go for SA?

    Yung sa NSW, pre-invite palang pala yun, not ITA hehe. Although hindi ako nag submit ng Registration of Interest to qualify for pre-invite. Bale nag create lang ako ng EOI na NSW lang ang selected state then naka receive na ako pre-invite. Hindi ko tinuloy yung NSW kasi may ITA na ako from VIC. Pero if tinuloy ko yung NSW, I would have to pay AUD330 then submit my docs to their portal for their verification. Once approved, saka lang ako makaka receive ng ITA.

    Sa SA naman naka receive din ako ITA. Bale after receiving the pre-invite (without me having to create any ROI sa portal nila beforehand), I paid AUD343 then uploaded my docs sa skilled migration portal ng SA.

    Among all the states, VIC lang ang walang application fee sa Nomination Application. You just have to submit your ROI first bago ka makatanggap ng pre-invite, then eventually, the actual ITA.

    QQ- When you say pre-invite, and difference nya sa ITA?

    yung email na na-receive ko galing sa SA, ganito ang Title-- "An Invitation to Apply for State Nomination in South Australia"
    ang text nya-- "Skilled & Business Migration have reviewed your EOI and would like to invite you to apply for State Nomination in South Australia through the Offshore stream."

    ITA na ba ito? And yes, pag tinuloy ko yan, kailangan na mag-bayad. kaya ako napa-research ulit muna. hehe

    Yung VIC since Sep 2022 pa ako pinag-ROI na libre, and monthly sinasabi na di pa daw ako napili.

    BTW, 491 lang yung pwde sa ANSCO code ko for SA (for offshore applicants).

    "Pre-invite" follows EOI submission. Meaning you met the state's initial criteria based sa information na prinovide mo sa EOI mo. Then once you submitted your documents to the inviting state, they will validate your documents against your EOI information and for which you will have to pay the application fee.

    "ITA" comes when the nominating state approved your application and referred you for visa lodging. This is when you will receive an email from SkillSelect with the subject line "You have received an invitation to apply for a visa in SkillSelect"

    To answer your question RE: SA, that's still in pre-invite stage. Need mo pa magpasa muna ng documents as instructed sa email body and pay the AUD343 application fee, which is by the way non-refundable, ma-invite ka man or hindi :)

    Received ITA to apply for NSW 190! Sunod sunod na sila. Sana 189 naman! :)

    did you get Invited to apply for nomination? or di you apply for nomination sa NSW website mismo? Thanks!

    PS. I'm asking because I received an email from SA to apply for nomination. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na each state pala inaapply pa to get nominated, then nakita ko meron din NSW. Now thinking if ituloy ko ba mag apply for nomination sa SA (since sila nag email sakin) or try ko NSW (kahit wala sila email sakin).. Limited budget for fees. :)

    Yung sa NSW, pre-invite palang pala yun, not ITA hehe. Although hindi ako nag submit ng Registration of Interest to qualify for pre-invite. Bale nag create lang ako ng EOI na NSW lang ang selected state then naka receive na ako pre-invite. Hindi ko tinuloy yung NSW kasi may ITA na ako from VIC. Pero if tinuloy ko yung NSW, I would have to pay AUD330 then submit my docs to their portal for their verification. Once approved, saka lang ako makaka receive ng ITA.

    Sa SA naman naka receive din ako ITA. Bale after receiving the pre-invite (without me having to create any ROI sa portal nila beforehand), I paid AUD343 then uploaded my docs sa skilled migration portal ng SA.

    Among all the states, VIC lang ang walang application fee sa Nomination Application. You just have to submit your ROI first bago ka makatanggap ng pre-invite, then eventually, the actual ITA.

    Salamat and pasensya na ngayon lang ako nakakapagbasa ng crucial infos mula dito. hehe
    QQ- When you say pre-invite, and difference nya sa ITA?

    yung email na na-receive ko galing sa SA, ganito ang Title-- "An Invitation to Apply for State Nomination in South Australia"
    ang text nya-- "Skilled & Business Migration have reviewed your EOI and would like to invite you to apply for State Nomination in South Australia through the Offshore stream."

    ITA na ba ito? And yes, pag tinuloy ko yan, kailangan na mag-bayad. kaya ako napa-research ulit muna. hehe

    Yung VIC since Sep 2022 pa ako pinag-ROI na libre, and monthly sinasabi na di pa daw ako napili.

    BTW, 491 lang yung pwde sa ANSCO code ko for SA (for offshore applicants).

    Hello po. Sa pagkakaalam ko po magkaiba po ang pre invite sa ITA. Iyong Pre invite po, iyon po iyong nainvite po kayo ng state para mag apply po sakanila for nomination. Not sure if same email po marereceive sa VIC since nag agency po kasi ako pero based po doon sa email na nareceive niyo from SA, pre invite pa lang po iyon. Then after maapprove po nomination niyo, you will get another email saying (not sure if same po ulit sa VIC) "Your application for Victorian Government visa nomination under the 190 - Skilled Nominated scheme is now approved."

    Then after po nyan minutes or next day po you will get another email para mag apply po ng visa, iyon po iyong ITA. Invitation to apply na po sa visa. Hope this helps po.

    "Pre-invite" follows EOI submission. Meaning you met the state's initial criteria based sa information na prinovide mo sa EOI mo. Then once you submitted your documents to the inviting state, they will validate your documents against your EOI information and for which you will have to pay the application fee.

    "ITA" comes when the nominating state approved your application and referred you for visa lodging. This is when you will receive an email from SkillSelect with the subject line "You have received an invitation to apply for a visa in SkillSelect"

    To answer your question RE: SA, that's still in pre-invite stage. Need mo pa magpasa muna ng documents as instructed sa email body and pay the AUD343 application fee, which is by the way non-refundable, ma-invite ka man or hindi :)

    any idea on the chances of being approved dito sa pre-invite?
    dilemma ko kung kahit papano ba meron na ako better chance dahil nabigyan ako ng pre-invite, or baka income-generating lang sa state na magpa-apply sa madaming tao.

    I think malaki naman ang chance ma-approve basta complete and compliant ang documents mo as per their requirements. Be careful lang kasi may specific requirements si SA especially sa Work Experience documents (refer to their checklist)

    Salamat ho sa lahat ng info na nabkuha ko dito.
    Siguro last na lang, at baka hindi applicable sa mga single, ako kasi Married na.
    Meron message sa SA nomination application form na-
    "Your partner must have a skills assessment for a relevant occupation and Competent English."

    Since freelance ang spouse ko, wala sya relevant occupation, pero Proficient naman ang PTE nya.
    Deal breaker kaya ito sa 491?

    @leerandyq, claim mo ba ung points ng occupation asawa mo? dapat 5 points lng ang ni claim mo sa spouse points since english lng meron xa.

    if ung english points lng niclaim, walang mggng issue.

    basta dapat lahat ng nclaim mong points dun sa EOI mo is ma prove mo, maaproved ung invitation mo. :)

    190 isn’t subject to priority points. It all depends on the selection criteria of the state. These days don’t worry about points. As long as you reach the minimum points, should be fine. It’s raining invites even on just 65 points. Just get yourself out there!

    Same lang ng health care ng permanent and 491

    Both will also purchase private health insurance na hindi covered ng medicare like ambulance cover and etc.

    Centerlink, under proposal palang sa 491.

    Free Tafe Courses ay hindi available for 491 Visa Holders staying at NSW and VIC. Sa ibang states allowed ang 491 to avail free. Check your eligibility. Permanent Visa Holders can avail kahit nasa NSW and VIC

    Some jobs require permanent visa and/or citizen status like working in government setting.

    Syempre yung visa conditions mo na hindi ka pwede live,work, study sa Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane. Pero you can visit Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.. (limited time lang ito)

    Same lang ng permanent, na you have 4 years stay in Australia (check the conditions of stay) then apply citizenship (3 years provisional + 1 permanent + follow the visa condition). sa 189 and 190 (4 years permanent)

    Overseas driver's licence pwedeng gamitin sa AU if 491 ka up to the validity of driver's licence and visa whichever comes first. Pag 189 and 190 ka, you have 6 months depending sa state to convert your driver's licence sa state licence upon passing the exams

    Feel free pakidagdagan or pakicorrect sa observations niyo)

    Hi everyone! Just wanna ask sa mga 491 visa holders. Need po ba iupdate yung region na naginvite sainyo na nakarating na kayo ng Australia?

    And also, I have updated my contact details and addresses kahit wala pa pong message to update details pero nakareceive pa rin po ako ng message requiring me to update my details. Need po ba iresend yun or hindi na?

    Thank you po sa makakasagot.
