Hi, I would say it really depends. Last year i submitted my eoi nasa 85pts ako but was not invited. 2 years ago i saw someone with 75pts hot invited.
Best advice is to max your points. Try reaching 90pts. Based lang ito sa observations ko.

Hi po, magandang umaga! Archi draftsperson(offshore) and received invite from SA. In progress na po yung paguupload ng mga docs ko. Under sa may assessment may question dun "Are there any licensing or registration requirements for the nominated occupations?". Sa mga nakapagproceed after pre-invite ano po isinagot niyo dito? Nagoogle search ako but cannot find na nakaindicate na merong required licensing/registration sa archi draftsperson. Isa pang question e if okay lang gamitin ulit yung old na SOS na ipinasa ko dati sa Vetassess? Balak kong isubmit yung old SOS then aattach na lang latest payslips. Thank you po sa sasagot😇

Is this exclusively for SA invitation? Didn’t see this in Vic Nomination Application.

Salamat po sa info! Ang hirap kasi i superior ang pte, pero next retake ako for superior para tumaas points ko, pero tingin nyo kaya may chance kaya ako sa 80 points for 491?

Kung kaya ma superior ang PTE mas better. Pero I believe there's always a chance basta ma meet ang minimum points. Hindi mo din malalaman kung hindi mo susubukan. Kaya gawa lang din ng EOIs, libre naman. Hehe

Pwede na yan. mag gawa ka na ng EOI, malay mo sakto yung profile mo sa kailangan nila. may mga nakikita ako na 70 yung points na naiinvite. Pero syempre mas lalakas yung chance kapag naka superior yung PTE.
kung offshore ka, mas malakas chance natin sa NSW at SA. yun palang yun mga state na nakikita kong nag invite this fy ng archi draftsperson offshore.

Gawa ka muna EOI for all available states. Then saka mo improve PTE score mo. If may budget ka, try looking into Naati din.

Yup tama po. Ganyan ginawa ko. After ko makuha result ng VETASSESS at PTE e agad akong naglodge ng EOI kahit hindi pa superior yung score ko and 75 points ako sa EOI that time. After that nagpabook ulit PTE then inupdate ko noong nakakuha na ng superior score and jump to 85.
@heisenberg kakakayanin yan ako nga nakalimang take sa PTE dahil sa mga unang take ko e minsan isa or dalawa na lang kulang bago makasuperior...inisip ko na lang na mas madaling makasuperior sa PTE kesa magkaroon ng skilled partner para madali akong iinvite ni VIC🤪

Omg thank you po sainyo! Mejo gumaan loob ko.
Yup magsstart na ako gumawa ng EOI ko then ipon ulit para sa retake pte for superior score.

Hello guysss! Kasalukuyan po akong nag aayos ng documents for Vetassess for 312111 visa 190. Malapit na tayong mag 33 meaning mawawalan ng another 5pts Kaya sobrang napepressure talaga me. Tanong ko lang po, from EOI, Base on your experience gaano katagal ang waiting time for invite?

Depende sa nominated occupation, profile at points mo ang invite. Depende rin sa mood ng DHA. Iba iba yung naging waiting time dito- may 6months, may almost 2years. Kung mababawasan ka ng 5pts sa age, bawiin mo sa naati or pte kung kaya pa.

Madaming factor eh. Sa kaso ko, onshore sa WA na invite ako ng 491. Waiting period ko mga 6-7 months siguro. Kinagat ko na since naka student kasi ako at napaka volatile ng visa na toh.

Hi @JCashew huwag po kayong mapressure na napunta kayo sa 33-39 age bracket. Focus lang po na masettle mga docs at maipasa agad ang eoi mo. Ako nga lagpas na ng 35 age but binawi ko po points sa PTE. Worry ko rin dati na di nila papansinin eoi ko dahil sa edad ko. Hindi naman super taas ng points ko compared sa iba but timing lang po talaga. This FY 2024-2025 isa sa need nila ay ang occupation natin so nawertehan na rin na nainvite ako 3 months after submission ko ng eoi. Pasa lang. Good luck!💪

Thank you po sa lahat ng insights! Gumaan yung loob ko regarding points. Speaking of timing, meron po ba kayong tracker ng EOI or ROI openings or daily monitoring sa SkillSelect lang?

Ang taas ng required score ng NSW for offshore applicants for Architectural Draftsperson. Parang 90 pts ata. Usually around that score ba talaga yung requirements ng NSW? Are there any state ba na not too particular with the score but more into the details (i.e. English Test, experience, etc.). Parang sa age ko di ko na maaabot yung 90. Granting that I have a Superior English and my wife will take her English test too, I can only muster 80 pts max.

Try mo po mag Naati para madagdagan ng 5 points. Kahit nung october nga 90 din yung minimum sa NSW. Or try sa 491 para 15 points additional. Yung South Australia nag iinvite sila ng offshore tapos 80-90 yung points ng na invite sa V190. Tingin ko mataas naman yung chance nyo kasi mejo natingin din sila sa Max work experience. Wala po talaga si wife chance mag Skill Assessment? Nung Una din kasi wala ako balak mag skill assessment, husband ko lang sana ang main applicant kasi max na yung expi nya, kaso nahihirapan sya sa english test kaya ako din nag asikaso na ng sakin, ayun, ako pa yung naka kuha ng Invite haha. Same kami Archi draftsperson.

Di po kami same industry eh kaya tingin ko wala din bearing or additional points if magpaskills assessment si wife. +5 lang talaga sa English test yung pwede nya macontribute. I will consider NAATI po kahit medyo expensive.

try to consult a migration agent. pa-advise kayo on what occupation suits your wife, so both of you could benefit. sayang din ang +10 pts for skilled partner. tapos pwede din sya magcreate ng EOI tapos dependent ka, more chances of winning
ano po pala breakdown ng pts nyo? how come 80 pts ang max?
