Yes pwede. Just explain the reason of early application in your cover letter. I did that with mine - the new visa grant number overridden the previous in vevo.
Adding:
This was the warning message when I submitted a new application.
Nung sinearch ko sa vevo yung prev grant number while valid pa, nawala nga sya. Not found ganon. Tapos yung new visa grant number yung nag appear as valid.

Thank you po sa info! Nagpaplan na kasi ako magresign na sa work then magtourist visa para magapply ng subsequent entrant sa partner ko na currently nasa australia as Student. Kaso ang worry ko is baka harangin ako sa immigration dahil baka hanapan ako ng approved leave. Need your insights po. Thank you..

Kung hanggang august 27 ka pa magsstay, and sasabihin mo yun as return date sa immigration officer, di ka papayagan kasi hanggang June 20 lang validity ng current visa mo eh. Malamang mared flag ka pag ganon.
Pag nasa au ka na, mga 7days before June 20 pwede ka na mag file ng new tourist visa. Galingan mo lang magexplain sa cover letter.
Pero deliks din if di maapprove yung bago, kasi kelangan mo na agad agad as in umalis sa australia else, illegal ka nun yari. May option kasi di ba sa application kung onshore ka na ba or wala pa?
Kung maapprove naman good ka na nun. Pero dapat may stronger ties to PH ka since magreresign ka kamo.
Di ko maadvise yung resigned na eh tapos aalis sa pinas. Mahigpit kasi yata dyan, i mean madami pang tanong mabusisi. Pero pwede mo naman sabihin na mag time off ka sa employment at tour tour ganyan haha mental health break ganon.
If within 1month before June 20 makakapag file and maapprove subsequent entry application mo okay yun. Instead of tourist visa ulit. Pero hindi yata 1month lang timeline ng SE visa eh, longer.
Aralin mo given the timeline of your current visa's expiry date and subsequent entrant process. Risky yan for me personally. Wag ka mapressure sa malapit na maexpire na visa at wag mo madaliin.

Just adding some professional perspective - first of all, are you able to prove you and your partner are in a de facto relationship? Meaning, can satisfy the 4 pillars of co-dependence? Second, make sure your visa doesnβt have a no further stay condition otherwise you canβt apply any visa whilst in Australia. Best of luck.

Should I update now my EOIs (189, 190), changing from current defacto to married status while my name has not changed yet?

You can update your EOIs as and when a change in particulars arise ,EOIs are not applications itself , once you get invited you can attach documents at a later stage of the visa application.Once you get invited your points and info are locked in.
On a positive note -you can update your status while in the midst of lodgement or even after lodgement.
If youβre applying for 190 and that needs a nomination ,best to update it asap.

Hi po, ung mga previous employers ko po do not give COE with roles and responsibilities but my immediate supervisors (still in the company) can give me a referral letter stating my roles and responsibilities. Okay na ba un?
Bale I'll attach the standard COE to the reference letter given by my immediate supervisors.

If ACS is your assessing body, they have guidelines for this. You need to secure a statutory declaration: https://www.acs.org.au/msa/infohub/statutory-declarations-and-affidavits.html
Hindi enough yung reference letter lang.

Hello! Magiging issue po ba sa VETASSESS if yung Statement of Service ko sa current employer says, "This certification is being issued upon the request of...for Loan Application"? Ayoko kasi sabihin sa current employer na I'm applying for visa kaya sinabi ko na lang na for loan application. Anybody with the same experience? Thank you.

For any point-tested visa in the GSM pathway, there is visa condition 8515 that prevents you from marrying while waiting for grant.
So, you can notify DHA with the change of status. As long as you can provide further evidence of your marriage and it will not change any points claimed in the EOI before and after the invitation.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Not legal advice - I think it might be ok, but in my opinion, wag muna. Isipin mo nalang siguro how long mo hinintay yung grant. Why do anything to risk it?
Sabi nga sa hinaba-haba ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy. Malapit na rin bro baka before Christmas malay natin ma grant na haha

Absolutely, 100% agree with this! Wag gawing komplikado ang mga bagay bagay.
Sabi nga ni @mathilde9, makalusot man kayo ngayon, pero yung pagkakaron ng hanging cloud na baka mabuko nila later on, e gugustuhin mo ba kesa sa tahimik at smooth lang na migration journey. Ngayon pa lang, nagwowonder ka na e, kung gagawin mo ba o hindi.
@nicbag
At the end of the day, wala naman kasing pumipigil sa kasal nyo. Pero paghandaan nyo lang yung consequences nun. The least you can do is to inform DHA about it. Malinaw naman ang rules nila, pag may change sa circumstance, inform them.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!

Yes it's all up to you sa huli. I'm just leaning towards the risks of intending not to tell DHA this potential change in circumstance of yours. Sobrang risky baka until citizenship isipin ko pa yan araw-araw. Lamoyun? Bawasan natin ang problema.

The plan of not to tell or to tell upfront - at the end of the day it will still be your call, each has consequences.
