How true that we can claim points for employment in EOI according to our tenure if we have POSITIVE skill assessment? Does it mean that we can include the deducted 2 years as long as we got the positive assessment? PLEASE answer @everyone

Hi @gregormendel,

This is a bit lengthy post please spare some time to read it and suggest me what should I do. I am currently attached with SSA migration as a client and discussed this thing with Sandeep sir as well but still I have some doubts.

I received Subclass 491 invitation from Western Australia in the February round for the Construction Estimator occupation (EOI date: October 2024).

However, I also hold a valid skills assessment for the Construction Project Manager (CPM) occupation with an older EOI date (November 2024), yet I havenโ€™t received an invitation under this occupation in the February, March, or May rounds.

Based on my research and personal observations, hereโ€™s what Iโ€™ve concluded:

  1. Some of my friends with similar EOIs and 70โ€“75 points (without experience points) have received invitations for CPM, so I donโ€™t believe my lack of experience points is the issue.

  2. I initially thought that receiving a Subclass 491 invitation might disqualify me from receiving a Subclass 190 invitation in the same financial year. However, I know someone who received a 491 invitation in February and then a 190 invitation in Marchโ€”so this seems unlikely.

  3. I came across another individual who received a 491 invitation for Civil Engineering but was not invited for CPM later, despite having an older EOI date and 80 base points. This appears to mirror my situation closely.

From these observations, my conclusion is: If someone receives a 491 invitation under one occupation (Estimator in my case), they may not be considered for a 190 invitation under a different occupation (CPM in my case), even with a valid skills assessment and higher points.

What are your thoughts on this? Iโ€™d appreciate any insight you might have.

Following are my points breakdown for CPM: Age-30 English-20 NAATI-5 Bachelor Degree-15 Single-10

I heard NSW has stopped issuing final nomination/invitation for 190 visa. Is this the case with 491 too? @gregormendel
