Hi Ozmaniac I hope you are well. i am still fretting about my 189 visa, and was hoping you could advise, further. once the 60 days has lapsed and I withdraw my application until I resubmit.? i am in the opinion of the 189 being superior if you like over the sponsored visa? Would you happen to agree? I ask this because I was going to opt out of the other visas and just check the 189 box and wait to get an invite for this one only. I also wondered if it's definitely going to happen, I.e me definitely getting another invite! they aren't going to hold my lack of189 application initially against me are they? furthermore I am struggling to prove my de facto relationship. Myself and my fiancé opened a joint bank account in August 2014 and have holiday confirmation dating back to 2011 however we don't have a rent book as such as we are currently living at my parents house to save money? Will they take jet2 flight confirmation seriously or laugh me out of the door?! I suppose my parents would sign a rent book because we do pay our way but we don't currently have one. no worries if you can't answer me, I'm sure I'll get some feedback somewhere! take care

Will do, think I'll be spending a lot of time on here! Thanks for your advice [emoji106]

Ok thanks. I will play the waiting game! Thanks for all your advice! Much appreciated! Gonna get in touch with an agent I think? Possibly the ones you have mentioned and in the mean time get as much evidence together to prove my relationship with my fiancé. I know I'll struggle as I don't have a tenancy agreement, just a joint bank account and some holiday confirmation? We are insured to drive the same car so hopefully that will be viewed as evidence also! Gonna get looking on some threads! X

I've tried to take a picture of the options available to me on my skills select EOI I hope it makes sense

Hi again! Yeah you're right! I think I may have cried if I got it declined over silly mistakes! I can't seem to "withdraw" my application though? It doesn't give me an option?

Hi Ozmaniac! It looks like my EOI is a comedy of errors! Gonna get this sorted then hopefully with 65 points I will get an additional invite? Do you know what happens in the 60th day? Do I have to log on and withdraw my EOI or will this automatically happen? Thanks

Hi guys! Yeah I know where you are coming from! It just seemed that after waiting the dreaded 12 weeks to get my skills assessment back, I was getting somewhere quicker! 3 hours in comparison to 12 week to getting feedback was a shock to the system! I landed the IELTS: L9, R8.0, W8.5, S8.5 29/01/15 so averaged 8.5 which was a bonus! I'll try to attach a breakdown of my points, damn those extra 5 points which in theory I don't think I need! I genuinely wasn't trying to bump up my score and did submit my student placement as evidence for my Vetasses, however since looking at my outcome letter it's not even mentioned although I submitted it ! It was just the seasonal consultancy work that threw me, but obviously I'm going down the wrong track this first time, I'll put it down to experience? Does anyone know what happens after the 60 days? Do I have to log on at midnight to prevent being invited again or do I have to resubmit my EOI on the 61st day? Please see my EOI and outcome letter. I hope that works! I've used the phone app to upload some pictures? Thanks

I appreciate that, thanks! Which is why I'm fretting now because I'm such a numpty and messed my EOI will I get a second chance under the 189? I genuinely thought any experience is good experience And in the UK my time as a student EHO and enforcement officer put me in a decent position to apply for the EHO job as the experience is relevant? What a mess I've made [emoji20] I'm in two minds I want to apply and fight my corner but can't afford to lose the money. The VETASSES looked into all my experience and from receiving a positive result thought it would go hand in hand with the EOI! It was only Thursday so these next 57 days are going to be hell?!

Hi everyone thanks again for your support and advice! I feel so silly?! [emoji15] I think I was on a high from getting my VETASSES back as positive all by myself I just jumped straight in! Let this be a lesson learnt I suppose! I never really realised that I would get those extra 5 points to be completely honest I was just trying to portray my struggle in getting where I have today I suppose with the current graduate jobs climate! What a dope I am [emoji17] I'm going to let this one go and go through my EOI once I can in the 50 odd days. Because I submitted the exact same work experience info with my VETASSES evidence I guess I ran with that? With regards to evidence of myself and fiancé being together for 12 months although we have been together for over 5 years on paper there isn't a great deal to prove this- we live at my parents, although paying board as my mum calls it, we don't have any contract in place? It's catch 22 we are trying to save so don't have any legal paper work to evidence our relationship! We have a joint bank account however this hasn't been opened for 12 months! I'm getting a little disheartened and I'm thinking I'm going to hold back until Sept until I resubmit again? That way I think we will be in a better position. J19jjr although my fiancé does work it's possible he could join me on my 189 visa (if we prove our relationship) thus having more security for our future in Oz I understand, anyone correct me if I'm wrong! I'll get there but I probably underestimated the in depth process! Thanks for everything. It's not worth the risk and although I can't wait to start a future in Oz it's going to be a while yet! I'm not going to give up! Good things come to those who wait apparently [emoji4] x

Oh dear this isn't good! Thanks for everyone's advice, I think I may have to not take up the offer this time then! Will I have the chance to be invited again for the same visa? Once I edit my claim and resubmit? Thanks again guys!

Hi everyone I hope you are all well. I recently submitted my EOI and on the same day (3 hours later) I received an invited for the 189 Visa. This all being well, but I'm now starting to doubt my EOI!! Firstly on my EOI I gain 5 points for Years of experience in a Nominated Occupation - overseas within the last 10 years. I'm an Environmental Health Officer and as part of your training you are required to complete a year on placement, as this is related to the nominated occupation, I obviously put yes on my EOI, in addition to this, after graduating I struggled to get a job as an Environmental Health Officer, but was an Enforcement Officer for a couple of years which is related to the profession, (I investigated complaints as an EHO would under the relevant legislation, with a view to prosecute) but I'm not sure if this was the correct thing to put? I've also completed some odd consultancy work as an EHO for a few weeks here and there, which I again clicked, yes as relating to the nominated occupation but put from when I was initially employed, and although I left if you like I was reemployed on several occasions so I've put this as being on-going employment which may be incorrect?. I managed to get an EHO job in March 2013 so in theory they may look at my application as I have only had experience for just 2 years? Although in my opinion I've had more? Should I give it a miss with completing this visa? If I don't get those extra 5 I still manage to receive 70? So in theory does it really matter? Please see below a breakdown! Shop Assitant Related to nomination-N/a Student Environmental Health Officer Related to nomination-Y From 01/06/08-/01/06/09 Enforcement Officer Related to nomination-Y From 14/07/11- 07/03/13 Poll Clerk & Poll Counter Related to nomination-N/a Consultant Environmental Health Officer (Company A) Related to nomination-Y From19/06/11- 30/06/14 (although it was intermittent and not consecutive months) So I think this is where I may get penalised? Consultant Environmental Health Officer (Company B) Related to nomination Y- From 01/02/13-23/10/14 (although it was intermittent and not consecutive months) So I think this is where I may get penalised? Environmental Health Officer Related to nomination-Y From 07/03/13- to date Now that's just the first issue?! I'm also engaged and wishing to include my fiancé as part of my application. I never listed him as a dependant? But did highlight the fact I am engaged? Would it be incorrect to list him as a dependant on the application? He hasn't done the IELTS test and doesn't have a trade, he's a labourer who learns on the job. With no qualifications, if you like, although he does a great job in the restoration field. Therefore should I not include him? In everyones opinion should I knock this invitation on the head? Or shall I run with it? If I ignore this invite, would I ever get invited again for this visa? Or is it a one strike an you are out? Sorry for the layout guys, I hope someone can help me? Thanks in advance! Jade

Hi everyone, I hope you are well! This is my very first post on here and I am hoping I'm kind of in the right place for some help! I have a few questions and would love if anyone could advise?I uploaded my EOI and was invited to apply for the subclass 189 visa on Thursday and I'm a bit worried! Should I apply for the 189 visa now or wait 60 days to see if I get any other offers for other visas which could be cheaper or more suitable? Which I'm not sure which, maybe the sponsored visas? If I apply for the 189 would this hinder any other possible visas in offered? Further to this, and this is why I think it relates to this thread, although I have put that I am engaged on the EOI I didn't say that my fiancé was a dependent? Does this mean that he cannot be involved in this visa application? I am attempting this without an agent so any help is much appreciated!
