I lodged an EOI under ANZSCO 234111 Agricultural Consultant...
@amru (10H ago| Updated 10H ago)I lodged an EOI under ANZSCO 234111 Agricultural Consultant and selected 189, 190 and 491 (State/Territory nominated). My base score is 70.
A consultant told me that 491 is not really possible unless a state first nominates me, because only then the additional 15 points are granted. However, while filing the EOI, SkillSelect itself showed my 491 points as 85 automatically.
So I am confused about how the system actually works. Before nomination, is my EOI already considered in the pool at 85 points for 491 selection? Or does the EOI remain at 70 until a state decides to nominate, after which the 15 points and invitation come together? The consultant says-applicaiton would be lying there in the pool till state or family nominates- else there is no way for getting invitation at all. He says 491 is not practical or possible for me at all. I am totally confused
Would appreciate clarification from people familiar with the process.

you already have 15 pts in your eoi for 491, its auto added. check your eoi last page
So you mean to say, the state already nominates me by default while lodging EoI? Yes totally its shown me 85 points for 491. What he says is that the state has to nominate me else a family member has to nominate me, else there is no way of my application getting invited at all. I hope you understand what i mean. Every consultant would usualy say-491 is best suit for me due to my scores. However this is the one person who tells that its just a way to charge to get the profile into their hands and unless state nominates my EoI wont be invited.
@amru So you mean to say, the state already nominates me by default while lodging EoI? NO, the state nominates you when your nomination is approved after you are invited for nomination application. you need to do a bit of more research yourself.
