Hello po! Nagsubmit na ko ng EOI for 190. But when I created an account and tried to apply for ROI, wala pong nakalagay na 190/491. Ano po kaya possible reason? Dahil po kaya tapos na yung 2022-23 program? Thank you!

Last day of submitting ROI for VIC this financial year was on May 5. You need to wait for it to be open again after July.

Hi! sorry, tanong lang. will it matter po ba if i got refused sa ROI? kasi may katangahan kaming nagawa (i know i should read it carefully before doing anything). I applied sa 491 ng south australia and got refused.
will this impact any future invitation or application?

ROI lang naman yan di ba? IDK if certain states do not let you reapply for another ROI for x amount of time (or if they even have that rule in the first place), pero when it comes to visa lodgements hindi yan issue I reckon. Kasi the only thing they ask sa visa lodging is if you had a visa application get rejected. So kung ROI lang not a problem.

Just for clarification, weโre you refused on the ROI stage or weโre you refused at state nomination application stage?
These 2 stages are different. ROI does not even involve an application and somehow confusing why it was rejected?
Joined: May 25, 2023
In ROI stage. I accidentally chose Working in SA stream.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Hmm, under what category are you supposed to choose? ROI only applies for highly skilled and talented streamโฆis that the stream youโre supposed to choose?
Joined: May 25, 2023
Yes po. And sa sobrang pagmamadali, sa 491 po ako nakapag-apply.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Sorry didnโt understand, so are you applying for highly skilled and talented stream? You mean you meet this criteria:
Be earning a high base salary threshold commensurate with the expectations of the Highly Skilled and Talented stream (at least $80,000 per annum) and working full time (at least 30 hours per week or 60 hours per fortnight)

No. This requirement will be implemented from July, in the new Migration year. If your was granted prior to the changes then it wonโt be applicable for you.

Thats good to know. Thank you, ms. Rhea. Another question po, sa mga clients nyo po na 491 visa holder, kayo pa din po naguupdate sa immi acct nila ng change of details (address, phone number, etc.) Or binibigay nyo na po yung acct kay client nyo po?
And if manghingi po si DHA ng evidence ng address, employer, etc., binibigay na lang po ba ni client sa inyo then kayo po magssubmit or si client na nagsesend directly kay DHA?

Ganun po ba. Pano po pag nanghingi ng update si DHA, sino po makakareceive nun? Kayo po o si visa holder? Then who will update changes/submit docs asked by DHA?
Joined: Nov 26, 2021
Yung agent po makakareceive ng notification if DHA asks for additional information/documents then sila rin po magsusubmit. Yung account po kasi ni agent yung gamit when they submitted your application so everything will go through the agent po
