Wait ka lang. Yung iba dito samin more than a year naghintay ng invite. Maraming factors bago mainvite eh. Okay ka pa sa one month. Kelangan mo extra patience, pero pag maswerte ka maiinvite ka agad eh. Basa ka lang sa thread ng Waiting for Invites yata yun. Iba iba timeline namin dito. Goodluck

Hello, I'm new here and it's great to discover this page for Pinoys! I'm currently working in Singapore as a civil engineer and am looking to migrate to Australia, specifically to Perth. Can anyone advise whether I should apply for the V189 or V190 visa?

You can submit separate EOIs for both and see which one gets invited first.
