Tama lang po ba na ganito yung sagot pag nag lodge ng 190 visa?
Background: Worked for the company for 3 years, but since ACS deducted 2 years of experience,
Created a separate entry for those 2 years and answered 'No' sa questions if I am claiming points and is it relevant to the current occupation.
Then added a separate entry dun sa 1 year experience na deemed skilled ng ACS, and answered 'Yes' sa questions if I am claiming points and is it relevant to the current occupation.

ACS deduction is for the eligibility to be considered that you are working at the skill level required, if work is related then answer as yes ,and you are not claiming due to ACS not counting the experience - answer as no

Thank you for this document. Very informative, however, follow up question lng po. How about po ung pinirmahan or nag-agree sa statement ng state sponsor na need to stay a min of 2 years kapag nabigyan ng normination. Bale nde pedeng maging valid or nde pede na i-ristrict tayo ng state kasi mas strong ung evidence to support e2ng document po na binigay nyo under 8579 condition?

The document only supports working for a company not based in a DRA, but it doesn't necessarily say whether you can transfer out from your sponsor State. It's an entirely separate discussion.

THank you po. Some say na it just a moral obligation lng daw po but not law obligated. Hopefully meron pong makapag-bigay ng official document that moving to a different state will not penalize you for your PR applicaiton.

May nakagawa naman na yan at may anecdotal evidence at na PR naman, but that document i think will be counter -productive to every state who is issuing the nomination , but again , if you move- that is on your own accord when the options are exhausted, just get a clearance from the state dahil state obligation sya, in doing that they may release you.

Im applying for Visa 491 po sa SA, kaya lang they required job contract. Normally po kasi sa Pinas, wala naman job contract when you are hired here. What document can I upload as aternative? Will COE ( Ceritificate of Employment ) do? Thank you.

Hello, ask ko lang if meron dito na nagpa-assess sa 2 occupation sa ACS.
Question lang - did you use same documents to submit?
I submitted for Business Analyst and im planning to submit for Software Engineer. Wondering if constraint na sa documents na pinasa for Business Analyst? For my case kasi madali lang magpa-approve ng roles and responsibilities for COE.
Hope someone can share experience.
Thank you 🙏🏻

@renan1980 fit for release na ☝️it is a possible breach of human rights convention laws that Australia has signed internationally to restrict a visa holder into one state or regional area , it is stated in the explanatory notes of the legislation , by right you don’t need permission at all to move from state/ territory haha

Hi, I recently had to change my EOI because I have a new position in the same company. I was wondering if I need to also change the details in my ROI for SA? Kasi walang edito dun, withdraw lang ang nakalagay and status is lodged. I know na mahirap din naman mainvite sa SA, pero nagbabakasakali since pasok ako sa Highly Skilled nila since may experience ako sa renewables.

In the ROI for SA do you specifically provide details of employment just like when you make an EOI or SA will refer to the EOI itself?

hello Guys,
I was recently granted my 491 for Northern Territory.
arrive by 06 February 2025
Must not arrive after 06 February 2029
For first entry, arrive by 06 February 2025
Does it mean that I really need to enter by 06 February 2025 or this is just the start date validity of my entry?
Must not arrive after 06 February 2029
My understanding is, I don't really have to arrive on the 6th of Feb, I can enter anytime between 06 February 2025 to 06 February 2029.
I am also concerned about the availability of Jobs for Network Engineers in Darwin.
Thank you in advance for your insights.

AFAIK your first entry should be made before Feb 2025. It doesn't have to be a long stay initially.
