Gwatson Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I am a registered nurse nec. I lodged an EOI for visa 190 to NSW with 65+5 points but heard nothing for months. If you lodge more than one EOI for state sponsorship, does it decrease your chance of an invite? I was told states wont send you an invite if you don't apply solely and directly to work in their state alone. Is this true? I have no way of increasing my pointsso Im desperately trying to find a way around it before I lose all hope! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenki75 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 A few people have created a second EOI and have been successful. You will just have to prove your loyalty to the state that chooses to sponsor you. I started out with NSW and didn't get anywhere, so I decided to change completely and go for South Australia. Someone else on here went with Victoria and was successful. We were both RN's with 65+5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

States can see if you have lodged multiple EOIs, But they they won't like when someone select"any" in their preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean travelling to Australia within 3 months to finalise the registration process before startinb the visa process? I see thatd what you've done? South Australia was our first option but then my occupation was moved to special conditions and we had to start again with NSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenki75 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Yes, that is what I did. I can see on the Victoria list of skilled occupations for nomination, it says you need registration or reg in principle, which means AHPRA first. South Australia currently has special conditions, but when they reset in June/July this last time, those conditions went away for a few months at least.

I'll give it a few more months then may be draw a line under it. Maybe it's just not meant to be! Thanks again for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
