Different options for PR

[Seema22]

Hi

I currently have 75 points for 189 visa. I have my skills assessed positive for 261312 Developer Programmer but I have been working as an IT Support Analyst for 6 months and I do no have any other IT experience. 

I had lodged my EOI on 3rd of March 2019 but I updated to 75 on 11 July 2019. My date of effect has changed to 11th of July. 

I have 80 points for 190, however, new rules says we have to live and work in Australia for 1 year to be nominiated by NSW state. The only problem I see here is that I am working as IT Support Analyst but have Developer Programmer as my Skilled Occupation.

 

My question:

1. Should I start looking for regional options (489 or 491)? But many regional area do not require Developer Programmer. 

2. Should I get my skills assessed as ICT Support Engineer 263212 and wait till I complete 1 year to get experience point?  The problem here is - My visa is expiring on 8th of Feb. I will complete 1 year on 29th Jan 2020.

3. Is there any other IT Occupation which may increase my PR chances ? I do not mind going to regional as long as it gives me PR, but I also need to have relevant work experience which is in SOL as well. Any idea which would be best occupation for regional which is in SOL?

4. Should I create a separate EOI if I want to apply as ICT Support Engineer or other higher PR chances occupation so that my current EOI date of Effect remains unchanged for the occupation Developer Programmer?  Is it a good idea not to change DOE?

5. I will not have Dev prg work experience as I do not intend to work as that, so I guess any invitation that requires work experience will not be for me. So, should I get my skills assessed for another occupation which I intend to work? For eg, ICT Support Engineer, 261314 - Software Tester, 261112 - Systems Analysts
