Hello Question po for 190, and 491 to be nominated. Required ba na nominated muna ng state? so need pa gawin ung specific requirements per state na gusto mo applyan?

Yes
You need to fulfil the state's specific requirements, and for some states this starts sa EOI lodgement. When your 190/491 EOI gets selected, need mo dumaan sa state nomination application process. If approved, you'll get an ITA (invitation to apply) for the chosen visa.
Iba-iba ang state requirements, so read up on the state websites. Someone recently asked a similar question so this thread will help: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/398429/#Comment_398429, https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/398436/#Comment_398436

Question po, san po easiest or best state to get state nomination for 190, 491 as an Onshore applicant po?
Posts: 831Member
Joined: Oct 24, 2016
It's not a matter of which state is the easiest or the best. It's initially a matter of which state you qualify for nomination. If onshore, you should check which states are open to sponsoring applicants who live interstate. Some states don't sponsor interstate applicants, so you can cross them off your list & then check which of the remaining ones sponsor your occupation.

Hello! We submitted our EOI for 189 (80 pts) and 190 (85 pts, NSW) last week, and we saw as NSW that we should only submit an EOI to their state dapat (190). This is for software engineers (261313), offshore.
Questions:
1. How soon can we submit an EOI to other states if we don't get an invite for a particular time?
2. Do you have recommended state where we can also submit an EOI (190 or 491) given our current points and job code above?
Thank you!

La ka pang invite?
Later on pag may invite na, at the visa application stage, you'd have to declare the refusal in your Form 80 kung magsusubmit/hihingin sya sayo ng DHA.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Hi everyone!
Question po sa mga nag process and/or na grant ng Visa 189 na may dalang dependents (spouse and children), nag skills assessment and english test pa po ba yung spouse niyo? Required po ba or are they optional lang if you want to claim extra points? Salamat po sa sasagot. God bless!

Question po sa mga nakapag-fill out ng Form 80, tungkol po sa Employment. Ide-declare din po ba yung mga employment na walang proof gaya ng employment certificate at payslip dahil yun pong mga docs ay na-Ondoy? salamat po.

There is an instruction in the item itself.
Declare everything from date of birth. Even those you did not claim points for. You'd only need to provide evidence for those that you claimed based on the EOI that was invited.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Hi po! Mas ok po ba ang DIY for 189/190/491?
Currently nasa Skills Assessment stage ako for EA. My agent created the EA account for me and pangalan pa lang mali na. Ang mahal ng cost ng agent and I am thinking of continuing the application ng DIY. Kaya po ba?

I suggest DIY if uncomplicated naman yung case mo and may time ka to do it. Kaya yan! Will save you money pa.
I had the same experience where I already paid partially for their service and the agent had errors on the basic details/info which is non-nego for me, kasi kaya nga tayo nagbabayad eh. Wrong details about me una pa lang and some other clients' details were sent to me. Gahh that's violation of data privacy. Those are "typo" lang daw pa yung sagot - all the more reason I got afraid to let them handle my case. Kaya mong i-DIY. Ikaw din naman magpproduce mostly ng papers hindi sila.

Hello everyone! meron po ba dito may experience na dalawa ang tin number?
Yung tin number ko sa first employer ko, hindi makita ni BIR nung ngpalipat na ako ng RDO sa new employer which may possibly be accdg sa kanila ay dahil yung tin number ko na yun ay nagka error or hindi na transfer nung nag migrate na sa new system nila. Kaya ng recommend ang BIR new RDO to create a new tin number na lang dito sa 2nd employer ko. Ngayon may BIR form 2316 naman nabigay sa akin si first employer and meron din from 2nd employer pero magkaiba nga lang ng tin numbers.
ok lang kaya ito? hindi kaya ito ma question? or what additional document do I need?
