  Hello, everyone. I received an ITA today for 491 (Systems Analyst). (Yey!)

  My concern is, I have recently changed my employer but doing the same exact responsibilities.

  Do I need to get reassessed with ACS?
  Or shall I just update my EOI to add this new employer?

  Congrats!! No need na yan reassessment. Sa nomination and visa lodgment, mag attach ka nalang ng docs for that new employer.

  Napansin ko pala sa signature mo na may pre-invite ka na-receive before. Wala akong na-receive na pre-invite, but ITA siya. Okay lang ba yun? Required ba dapat na may pre-invite muna ako?

  Anong nag email sayo, (<[email protected]) or ([email protected])
  kapag yung una, pre-invite palang yun from the state
  tapos pag approved sa state, makaka receive ka ng email sa skillselect(country)

  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)

  Do you think it's worth it to take this 491, or wait for a possibility of 190 invitation? PR kasi ang priority ko sana. With 491, hindi siya agad PR so napapaisip din ako.

  how competitive is your profile to get invited for 190? kung di ka naman nagmamadali, you can wait for 190. however, think of the risks na lang din like, there could be new rules for migration next FY, ma-remove occupation mo, etc.
