Hi everyone. Related sa Form 80, declaring travel history for the past 10 years. Hindi na mahanap yung old passports ko. So ang travel records ko lang is until 2016. I really hope na hindi ako hanapan ng Form 80 but just to be thorough, hahanap ako ng karamay lol.
Salamat sa magbibigay ng insights.

Stick to your assessment result. Kung wala yung current employment mo dun, then dont count it as relevant in the EOI.
Mas mahirap ang mag overclaim ng points.

190 is never bad haha.
Maganda yung planong sentesyahan before the ITA expiry. Kung mas gusto talaga ang NSW, go for it. Malay mo mainvite pa rin. Submit one EOI for 189 as well. Kasi we never know baka bigla sila mag invite before the FY ends.
Pero for 190 NSW, check with the others here, or do some research kung merong declaration na required ang NSW para sa previous invites received. Kasi kung meron, that means posibleng i-consider nila yan sa decision to not give you a final invitation in the end. So masasayang yung effort and time mo ng paghihintay na imbes nakapag lodge ka na ng visa with VIC at nag asikaso ng next steps like medical and PCC.

Thank you @whimpee.
May nabasa rin pala ako na after visa payment pala lalabas din yung Other Documents na section @d_b.
Question pala ulit guys, may isang part-time work ako na not relevant sa skills ko, hindi ko siya ininclude during skills assessment, wala rin sa EOI..Dapat ba isama ko siya sa pag-lodge kahit not relevant and sa Form 80? Baka lang kasi isipin ni CO na inconsistent, 10 years ago na rin kasi yung experience ko dun.

Since part-time work sya, self-employment/contractual ba yun or employee ka talaga? May ganyan din ako, part-time work pero self-employed ang setup. Wala akong official documents to back it up since through staffing agency ko yun nakuha. I did not include it sa work experience. If wala kang official documents, might be best to leave it out.

Oh ayan, baka nga hindi na need? Yung sakin kasi ganun and ang in-advise ng agent ko ay wag na ilagay since wala akong documents din. Di ko rin sya sinasa sa skills assessment dahil unrelated sya sa nominated occupation. Good luck!!

RE:skilled employment from assessment body, meron po ako covering until Dec2020.
So after Dec2020 until now, i have 2 add'l employers:
(1) Overseas employer na included sa last assessment
(2) New overseas employer
(3) Australian employer (current)
All 3 po, i claimed as relevant work experience in my EOIs
Need ko pa po bang ipa-update ung skilled employment assessment with my employer until date? Or can i just submit employer certificate, employer contract & payslips nung (2) and (3) without being certified? [baka sakaling maka-save sa cost]. Thanks

Basehan ng DHA ang skills assessment. You are putting yourself in a risk of overclaiming points kung ni-claim mo pati yung hindi kasama sa assessment.
Mas ok na mag submit ka ulit ng bagong skills assessment para siguardo kang claimable yung latter 2 or 3 career episodes mo.
I'm curious, ni-claim mo ba yan for VIC where you got an ITA? Kung oo, medyo risky yan kung itutuloy mo yung visa application later on kahit ni-approve ng state kasi DHA pa rin ang may final say dyan.

Hello Fellow 491 peeps.
Ask ko lang po baka meron na naka experienced sa inyo po na while in Visa 491, un work is hybrid which is for example yung project is based sa ibang state but allowed to work from home for example sa Adelaide SA. Magiging issue po ba yan pagdating sa application sa 191? Thanks po sa makakasagot.

Little to no chance na ng 189 round this FY, since yung currently lodged visas is more than enough na sa quota ng 189 for the year. Most likely next FY na yung 189 rounds (based din sa isang FB group). Yung 190 is most likely may rounds pa din every month. And yes, apply for NSW 190 too, mabilis din naman sila mag invite.

Based sa recent update ni Karl Konrad, parang half lang or something ng invites ang naging actual visa app lodgments for 189 (10:30 sa video). Figures say there should be another one but then again maski itong agent doesn't know for sure: So who knows!

Malaking number ng invites ang nasayang kasi expired ang docs ng mga tao last time. Wala kasing nakapredict na magiinvite sila ng ganun karami last year e, a good number ng mga EOIs na nainvite ay from 2020 pa. I think hindi basehan ang number of lodgements sa invite quotas, basta naabot na nila ung allocated number of invites yun na yun - regardless kung lahat naglodge o hindi.
