  skills assessment is not a visa application. you have to be invited to apply for the visa. timeline for invitation is not guaranteed. some people get it, some don't.

  You can check here on EOI data from immigration.

  Or here on smartvisa database. Although dito kasi more on input ng mga tao lang.

  Ako, as Archidraft, na invite sa NSW(190) nung dec 2024, lodged eoi sept 2024 with 80pts. Updated Nov 2024 with 90 points. Tingin kong keypoints ng mabilis na pag invite sakin: superior english, skilled partner(same occupation), 6 years exp. Tapos nung time na yun puro SA at NSW ang nag iinvite ng offshore for the occupation. Not sure lang kung may other states na ngayon na nagiinvite offshore for archi draft.

  Suggestion ko lang, kung yung points nyo is pasok sa range ng mga naiinvite ng 190, wag na kayo mag eoi ng 491 kasi yun ang unang ibibigay kahit pa pasok sa 190 yung points mo.

  

  Nominated Skill: 312111
  Target Visa: Subclass 190-OFFSHORE
  Target State: VIC/WA/NSW(got NSW invite)
  2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
  2022 Started working in Singapore, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again.
  2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube video explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
  2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about making contact to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.
  2024 Jan 16: Husband's Vetassess Lodging
  2024 Feb 2: Husband's Vetassess Priority processing
  2024 Feb 6: Husband's Vetassess Positive Result
  2024 July 2: PTE exam (Husband-Competent, Mine-Proficient). Huge month gap because we got busy with office works and some other personal errands.
  2024 July 3: Husband Submitted EOI for Visa 190 VIC/NSW/WA (65)
  (Age:30; Qualifications:15; XP Offshore:10; English:0; Partner:5; State:5)
  2024 July : I delayed getting my Vetasses in the hopes of saving the fee if my husband got the invite even with low eoi score(who am I kidding?). Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner is a huge difference. Initially, I was looking to just submit with only 1 work experience cause my other companies are a bit hassle to deal with but thank God I went throught all the stress and collected them all(pokemon?)
  2024 Sep 3: Submitted My Vetassess
  2024 Sep 4: Vetassess Priority approval- then paid the same day.
  2024 Sep 8: Vetassess Positive Result-5.9 years (considered as high work experience)

  Hi. Yes we are aware na skills assessment is different from visa application. I was asking for both skills assessment and visa grant kung gaano katagal ang grant for each. Thanks for the info
