Walang indication ng expiry date sa EOI for the skills assessment.
What I would personally do if I were in a similar case, on the expiry date of the assessment, I will suspend my EOI; or not claim points for that until I get a new ACS reference number for my partner. Just to be on the safe side.
Iiwas ako sa komplikasyon hanggat kaya ko, and so ayokong ma-invite with any expired docs. Ok na yung mag hintay ng kaunti pa, basta confident akong valid lahat ng hawak kong dokumento.

Thanks sa advise! Kapag suspend ba mawawala kami sa list ng possible na mainvite, but will retain the original date ng EOI?
Im also thinking of just updating the eoi by not claiming partner assessment para nasa circulation parin..

Yes, mawawala ka sa pool for invitation, yun yung effect ng suspension. The creation date will be retained, and if there is no change to the total points, the Date of Effect as well.
Kung ito naman gagawin mo, change sa points yan, so your Date of Effect will be updated too.

Assessment was still valid if na complete po ng Aug 2021. 3 years po valid nya as per IMMI Homeaffairs:
Skills assessment validity periods are calculated as follows:
If no validity period is shown on a skills assessment, the assessment is valid for 3 years from date of issue,
If the validity period shown on a skills assessment is less than 3 years, the assessment is valid for the period stated on the assessment,
If the validity period shown on a skills assessment is more than 3 years, the assessment is valid for three years from date of assessment.

MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR
Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)
2020
Jan 20: Since Iโm DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
Feb 22: VETASSESS โ I started gathering all required documents.
Apr 25: VETASSESS โ I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
Apr 29: VETASSESS โ I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I donโt have payment evidence of it. I didnโt include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I donโt have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
Apr 30: VETASSESS โ I double-checked my documents for the last time.
May 01: VETASSESS โ 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 โ My application status was lodged.
Jul 12: VETASSESS โ 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 โ I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
Aug 16: IELTS โ It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
Aug 21: IELTS โ 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 โ 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. Iโm 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 governmentโs advice on when it will open again.
2022
Jul 5: IELTS โ 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 didnโt 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 โ It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
Jul 20: IELTS โ 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.

Aug 25: EOI โ 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. Itโs 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 โ After a long wait, NSWโs Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didnโt 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 โ 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: โ I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.
Dec 30: PTE โ I took the PTE Academic English Test. My test results came out the same day: L: 84 R:84 S: 90 W: 75. I didnโt get the scores that I needed to achieve Superior English.

Jan 12: PTE โ Booked my wifeโs PTE English Test for USD$ 291.60 (SGD$ 401.85). Her exam date was on Jan 20, 2023.
Jan 20: PTE โ It was my wifeโs 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 Partnerโs Qualifications (English).

If the validity period shown on a skills assessment is less than 3 years, the assessment is valid for the period stated on the assessment

Ok na yan, wala naman tanong na specific sa English test sa ROI ng VIC. Di ko lang alam for other states.
Though, stand by for news in the Live In Melbourne website (and other states as well) for the new FY. You'd know how to act thereafter.

Hindi pa. Nomination stage pa lang kasi yun. Once approved ng State and released na yung ITA ng DHA for you, dun pa lang mag reflect sa SkillSelect yun.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Anyone here na nakareceive na po ng invite na nag pa assess without RSEA and the work experience is not closely related sa Engineer? Yung job title ko po kasi is Data Analyst. Gusto ko po kasi malaman kung ma-credit ung work experience. Thanks po sa sasagot.

Good day po!
Ask ko po kung ok lang ba mag lodge ng separate EOI for each state from SC190?
For example, I will lodge 5 EOI under SC190.
Thank you!

Yep possible and completely okay to do. Okay din yan since you increase your chances of getting invited by multiple states, if gusto mo pumili.
