Yes pwede. I switched jobs twice while waiting for an invitation, got the invitation eventually and lodged the visa. The catch is, either you want to have this reassessed to add years of experience or not and don't claim points for it (depends if you will be crossing a 5 year or 8 year mark of experience, otherwise).

Hello po,
Newbie here!
We are a Filipino family based in Singapore. I just got positive skills assessment from VETASSESS for my occupations as Recruitment Consultant (healthcare specialist), listed sa STSOL and will lodge EOI soon.
Open po ba and NSW ngayon for Visa 190? and any idea of our chances?
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
Salamat po....

There is no need to do that. As long as tasks are the same, you can confirm claim

hello po, seeking answers po about sa EOI, hiwa hiwalay po ba sinubmit ninyo na eoi per state at per subclass for example interested po ako sa 5 states bale may 5 po kayo na sinubmit na eoi? meron po kayong 5 na EOI ID? and per subclass example sa NSW po 3 po bang account uli need para separate EOI sa 189, 190 at 491? parang magiging 15 EOI po? or pwede pagsamahin na icheck po lahat ung 189, 190 at 491 para 5 lang po ung submitted na EOI? Thank you so much po sa sasagot

Most States require that you only select them in your EOI, which is why applicants file multiple ones. From what I understand you can select both 190 and 491 in one EOI. 189 is separate if I'm not mistaken, since it's Independent visa it won't ask you to select a State.

Not all states would entertain EOI’s with 190 and 491 as preference. Need to be just one preference….be careful

Lodged visa application last Jun2023, EOI/ROI last March2023
Waiting for grant now. Once granted, then I will apply to another employer since I have my own visa na.
Never mentioned the 190 visa to my current employer ofc XD

Thank you for your advise sir. Will try this plan din po. Question how or what documents did you provide for proof of work employment for the next 12 months or even reason asking for COE from employer (for employment evidence). Di naman sila nagtaka haha

189 is by direct invitation, there's no nomination stage unlike 190.
Once you received the invite, there will be an Apply button from the EOI (SkillSelect) landing page. When clicked, that will redirect you to ImmiAccount for the visa application stage. This is where, in fact, you will be required to upload all the proof/documentation in relation to the claims that you indicated in the invited EOI.

1st thing is submit an EOI sa skillselect (189). No docs to upload yet however, need na lahat ng points na ikiclaim by the time na isubmit mo ung EOI ay supported with documents as of submission date (Valid PTE, Valid Skills Assessment, Work experience count, etc.). Document upload in ImmiAccount is only done when you have Invitation to Apply (ITA) from DHA.
For 190, may specific criteria and sometimes additional requirements/steps ang ibang states so need mo icheck ung State Websites nila for details.
Preferably separate EOI for 189, 190 by state.
Joined: Feb 08, 2023
For EOI account, possible to apply different visa type as long as illigible with the same EOI account right?
and for Visa 190 if nominated, what is the next process po.?
THank you
