Kailan kaya next invitations, can we expect one from NSW this month?
I just lodged my 491 for NSW since nung umpisa ayoko muna and focus sa 190/189, but seeing the stricter trends in immigration and mostly mga nurses and teacher and ICT naiinvite ganun din naman, magiging PR din naman after 3 years sa 491.

You're making a wise decision by submitting EOIs for both 190 and 491 in all states where your skills are relevant. It's tough to predict when NSW will issue the next invitations, pero smart move yung nag-apply ka na for 491, especially with the current strict immigration trends.

Totoo po, I think lahat naman tayo dito gusto ng 189. Pero seeing the trend po na panay health, ICT and teachers naiinvite dapat lawakan natin yung net na icacast natin. Malay natin mas mauna padin yung 190. Haha

Question lng po newbie here, Is it ok na magsend ng EOI sa all states? What if po mabigyan ng invite and ma-approved for 491 pero hirap makahanap ng work sa sponsored state most especially kung regional areas ka napunta na konti lng ung jobs opportunity. Allowed po ba by law under visa 491 na lumipat sa ibat state na meron maraming job opportunity for your skills? Hindi po ba makaka-apekto sa PR application (visa 191) or later on sa citizenship application at ma-reject? Any cases po na alam nyo?

Ask ko lng po kung meron na po dito sa forum or even sa iba na nakita nyo na nanominate ni SA for high tech industry. Balak ko po kasi inominate is " ICT Security Specialist". However, I am now sure kung pasok e2 sa CyberSecurity Analyst. With regards to job roles almost the same sya maliban sa nde ako nag pepenetration testing. Mostly role ko is vulnerability assessment and security patching. Tanong ko po, pede ko kya gamitin ang " ICT Security Specialist" as nominated ANZSCO code? Or meron ba na ANZSCO code for CyberSecurity Analyst?

Hi, ICT Security Specialist here. Parang catch all ito ng cybersecurity so kung SOC ka most likely, pasok yan dito.

Hindi po ba makaka-apekto e2 sa visa 191 application mo later on since mostly all sponsoring states meron clause na nakalagay na you need to have commitment of at least 2 years to stay sa knila? And under the "Meet our character requirement" section ng visa 191 nde po ba magiging bad record e2 sa visa 491 holder na umalis sa sponsoring state nya?

+1 regional visas are in priority atm ,491 has its own glory , if your coming from city life and work is not an issue geographically ,this visa is gold as it promises stability knowing you have a country life to explore, focus on the premiums you can get from it as compared to holding to 190,189 dreams ,sometimes it is better getting it the long way , first it transitions you to 191 which is comparable to 189 , then it shortens your waiting time to be eligible for citizenship to 1 year after 191 grant (in case of offshore).

When your options gets exhausted ,when in doubt you can get a release letter from the state for peace of mind - this is in conjunction to your unique circumstances, you need to comply with the visa conditions , which is 8579 -continue staying in a designated regional area etc. which can still be complied even after you reside other than your nominating state's designated regional area.
Just take note the state have the right to withdraw their nomination even after visa grant so do it only when the situation permits.
