Congrats po!
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 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.
