Sorry pero naguguluhan pa din ako mga mam sir. I know may mga specifics per state and unfortunately hindi ko pa sia narerereview. wala naman ako specific state na gusto ok sakin kahit saan. Tama po ba to.

189 - 1 EOI (no question)

VIC
190 OR 491. Need to choose 1 which means only 1 EOI need to submit.

QLD
190 OR 491. Need to choose 1 which means only 1 EOI need to submit.

TAS, WA, NSW, SA
Separate EOI (190 & 491) which means I need 8 EOI's.

Pasensya na hilo lang tlga.

Meron din NT and ACT

Some states also needs ROI that will generally link your EOI .

To know more about that- check the particular state website , more than the forum sharing , you need to do a back up research against sa latest info para you have a solid foundation. GOOD LUCK 🤞🏼

Ano po ung ROI? return of investment kasi naiisip ko nasure akong mali hahaha

HAHAHA! Registration of Interest. Online form ito na iffill out mo per State (na meron).
Tapos ililink mo dun EOI number mo from Skillselect.

Based sa ROI sila nag-iinvite (again yung mga states na meron).

Share ko lang I have 10+ EOIs din nung time na waiting ako for an invite. It will help kung may tracker ka.
Ako may excel file talaga andoon details and all. May label ano yung expiring at ano yung prio/non-priority EOI. Maeeffort lang magsubmit talaga ng EOI, pero wala ganon talaga lalo na if you choose to DIY.

Thank you po. andito ung list na need ng ROI.

Baka makatulong sa mga taong katulad ko na di din alam ung ROI hehe

based dito yung software engineer minimum scored is 100. but that is for 189. meron din bang similar requirements for 190?

if max score i could get for 190 is just 80. you think i will have chances of getting invited as software engineer?

starscream · August 7

follow up question. if ever a person is lucky enough to get an invite. what's the assurance na you'd be able to get a job similar sa work mo dito sa pinas? or mostly you stull have to study and get a job (underemoloyed) that is not in line with your current job?

190 invites are shown in the respective states. You can check them when they start doing invitation rounds.

If 80 ka lang sa 190 malabo yan mainvite at the moment. A lot of people 90+ na pero wala pa rin invite. You can lodge an eoi but dont expect anything.

Once you get the visa, you have to find a job here. Of course that all depends on your skills and the job market. If you want to work on other jobs wala na problema dyan. Once you get your PR you’re not bound by any pts system so you can do whatever you want.

Dont worry about the job hunt at the moment. Matagal mo pa na problema yan and that will be an easier problem compared to getting a visa.

all the best!

Hi po. Ask lang ako regarding sa WA nominations. You'll need to have an EOI lang po ba (for both 190 and 491) para ma nominate ni WA? Wala na po bang other application like sa ibang state na need pa mag lodge ng parang ROI???

Thank you in advance po!

hello, checking if it's possible po bang makapag apply ng 491 family sponsored visa if my brother ako na 189-PR sa Australia pero not living in regional areas since he's currently in the city. thank you!

No. May listed suburb regions/post codes na eligible for 491. Ipapaindicate nila yun sa EOI yung postal code.

here you go URL: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list/regional-postcodes

as an example screenshot:

all the best!

God Bless!

Question po, and understanding ko po based sa DYOR, if residing un relative sa designated regional areas based sa post code list ng Category 2 and 3, pwede na po applyan, right? salamat po sa sagot!

Yes, I think pwede dapat. Adelaide and Perth for example are capital cities pero considered as Regional Area. Saan ba yung relatives mo?

6147 po un postcode nya sa WA, then currently handling 189 visa sya.

6147 postcode as per below screenshot:

is part of Cities and major regional centres for WA, so unfortunately, di pwede 491 family sponsored for it...

cheers!

all the best!

God Bless!

pa-correct po, when i clicked the list of postcodes na available and applies to 491, meaning eligible un category 2 and 3 as long as mentioned sya sa list per state.

lahat ng nakalista sa designated postcode page is eligible for 491 family. Wag nyo isipin yung category 2 or category 3 pag 491 FS, it's all the same na pag dyan nakatira ang relative, pwede sila magsponsor ng 491 for you.
Another check na mangyayari dyan is if you enter a postcode in your EOI that is not regional, di magpproceed. So pag nagproceed yan meaning pwede ang postcode.

The entire state of WA is considered a regional area. I held a 491 Family and my sponsor is my uncle here in WA. Take it from my experience.

Good Day po Sir/Ma'am. I'm also applying po for WA Visa 491, ask ko lang sana po ano ung ni-require from your sponsor when you were invited? Would just like to be prepared if ever. Thank you!

May form lang na iaaccomplish yung relative, also proof na magkamag anak kayo. I submitted my uncle's passport, birth cert to show na tito ko sya (mom's brother) and also bills like internet/energy showing na regional address sya. Madali nalang to, don't worry about this. Getting the invite is the bigger problem. Cheers!

Hi po! Is the form needed to be secured before the invite? Or wag muna i process kung wala pang invite?

Hello po @Ozdrims, @mathilde9,

Pwede na po ba mag-lodge ng EOIs 190/491 sa NSW kahit closed pa ang State? Sabi ko kasi sa Agent, maglodge na this week, e parang gusto nya hintayin muna magbukas ang States para sa announcement, kung eligible ako. Please advise po, thanks

Yes pwede na mag submit ng EOI even wala pang advisory from State na open na sila. You just need to update your EOI as necessary. Ano bang profile / points breakdown mo?

Hi everyone, question lang. Do you think it's better for me to go after SC 491 instead of SC 190 in states where they don't allow multiple ROIs? Ok lang naman kasi sakin hindi PR agad as long as merong pathway. Although nakita ko na fewer yung allocations for the 491 compared sa 190. 261312 Developer Programmer yung occupation ko.

Points breakdown:
Age: 30
English: 20
Education: 15
Partner Points: 10
Work experience for NSW and ACT (assessment deemed skilled date): 5
Work experience for other states: 10

Total for 190 (+5): 85/90

Total for 491 (+15): 95/100

I'm planning to take the CCL pero ang mahal kasi and right now I don't have the time to study kasi I'm working 2-3 jobs on weekdays.

Baka may alam din kayong agency who do consultations about these cases.

Thank you!!

caspersushi24 · August 16

Hello. Sana may makasagot.

Kakalodge lang ng SC 482 sakin ng agent and waiting ng visa grant.

Since meron akong hawak na full time contract from accredited employer sa WA, pwede ko na din ba iselect yung 190 sa EOI? Or need ba dalawang EOI separate for 190 and 491?

Personally, I would look at the invitation rounds and see if saan malapit yung points ko whether sa 190 or 491.

Hello. Question po for Western Australia SC190/491. Occupation ko po kasi is 261312 Developer Programmer under WASMOL Schedule 2. Tama po ba na 491 lang yung pwede ko applyan based sa Contract of Employment? Wala po kasi ako job offer or work experience sa WA. Salamat po sa makakasagot

zero · August 19

Hello, question po. If for example I got nominated today and my EOI will expire in a month, can that be a cause of nomination denial? Or wala na pong effect yung expiry date ng EOI as long as waiting na lang ng nomination result? Thanks as always!

Recommended to keep EOIs valid for the period of nomination process and get past through it and lodged the visa
-VIC openly requires at least 12 weeks for skills assessment and english test results to be valid after getting invited ,it means you need
EOI to be valid for that duration plus add another 2 months for ITA window to apply
-WA takes 4 months in some cases to assess your application after getting invited
1 month is too short in my opinion.
Give yourself some time to apply the visa after ITA is received to lessen mistakes.
After lodgement ,EOIs are locked, so wala na issue after this stage.
