Can we submit two EOI at the same time

Dear friend,
I have submitted my EOI few months back. But certain things i have mentioned need to be corrected. Before editing the EOI, i have received the invitation. Now my question is can i submit a new EOI with correct information or should i wait 60 days to expire the invitation already received?
 
Hi,

It is possible to create a new EOI account and submit new EOI with correct information. I had a similar issue with incorrect details in my first EOI. I created the second EOI and received the invitation before expiry of first EOI invitation. Please check details below:

Nov 29 2015 - First EOI creation and submission(65 points) for 189 visa
Dec 04 2015 - Received invitation to apply for visa
Dec 14 2015 - Second EOI creation submission(65 points) for 189 visa
( Reason: First EOI was submitted with incorrect details)
Dec 18 2015 - Received invitation to apply for visa
Dec 19 2015 - Submitted Visa application
Dec 30 2015 - Health check up done
Jan 08 2016 - CO requested for additional documents: PCC and Form 80
Jan 24 2016 - Submitted additional documents requested by CO
Current status : Waiting

NOTE: Please ignore the first EOI invitation. It will expire after 60 days.

Hope this information helps. All the best with your application.

Do you submit both EOI on the same skillselect account and email address?
 
Hi,
The second EOI was submitted in a different skill select account. However, the email address for the second account was same.

Let me know if you have further questions.
I have submitted 489 EOI and waiting for invitation (not yet invited).
And soon, once i have enough points, i am planning to submit 189 EOI.

Do you think it is better to create new skillselect account when i want to submit 189 EOI?
Can I actually submit 2 separate EOI on the same skillselect account?

Sorry if i am asking too much.
I dont use any agent so i try to do research myself :)
 
Hi,
it is possible to submit 2 EOIs in the same skill select account for different subclass I.e 489 and 189 in your case.

My understanding is that if you get an invitation for one of the visa subclass, then you may not receive another invitation till the existing invitation expires.(normally 60 days from invitation date)

If I were you, I would create two skill select accounts with the same personal details/email, one each for 489 EOI and 189 EOI. This would help in case my 489 invite comes first, and I still hope to get 189 invite before the 60 days invitation expiry period.

I hope that helps:)

Hi iamavc,

Just wanted to ask how was your visa application. I am in the same boat as you. I did managed to submit a new one just wanted to know what was the outcome?
 
Hi friends,

I have seen that you had a similar case to mine before.

I got an invitation on 20th June with incorrect employment dates, with 60 points. (Materials Engineer, 2331).

I have started filling the pages in immiaccount but only at 7th page of 20. (status: incomplete, i filled to see the steps)

Since I can not change the dates as it is frozen and it is possible to create a second EOI, do you think it is ok to fill a second EOI and apply with it?

Actually, I want to go with a tourist visa ASAP, around August so I can have some interviews and meetings with possible job oppurtunities. Afterwards, I can apply to the second EOI. But I do not know when shall I apply tourist visa, when to create second EOI, etc...

If you were in my situation, what would you do? What would be your steps?


Note: I have stayed in Australia with 18 months visa, I have some good contacts. That is why I want to go and secure my job before doing the application.
 
Hi kubaza,

Congratulations on getting till the EOI part.

1. I got my first invite and started to fill the Immi account. That's when I realized my dates were not right for employment. Even though it did not change my points, I did not go ahead with the application.
(I have heard that if the points change after getting the invite, it is a direct reject). To be on safer side, I let this invite unsubmitted and it expired after 60 days. Delete it by then, else you will receive an invite on that again.

2. Immediately, I created a new Skill select account and submitted my second EOI. Note that I had to create a new skill select account. (It is not possible to submit a new EOI for same category i.e 189 in my case, while there is an active invitation)

I received my second invite in the next round and proceeded with my application.

Hope that answers the question on the EOI part.

Regarding the tourist visa, I may not be able to help as I have no experience dealing with it.
I am sure there will be others on the forum who have had a similar experience.

All the best with your interviews and application.

Cheers,
iamavc

Hi iamavc,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Did you apply to the second invitation while the first one is active?

I explained the situation to skill select techical staff and they replied that there is no problem to create an another EOI while invitation has not expired. But they didnt mention if I should wait for the expiry of the first one or not?
 
Hello N.Ali,

You can edit your submitted EOI prior to receiving an invite through SkillSelect.

But if you alter details that results in a change in your points score, then your effective date of submission of EOI would change to date when you made these changes

Even if you have already submitted an EOI for an 189 visa, you can still update your EOI to show your interest in applying for a 190 visa though State or Territory sponsorship.

While filling out EOI - you can opt for one or both of 189 and 190 in an EOI - but you cannot receive invite for both 189 and 190.

Both invite process work separately. SkillSelect automatically suspends access to an EOI when it sends an invitation.

Hi Iciriding

Refering to "

Once you receive an invitation from SkillSelect, you will then have 60 days to make a valid visa application online, before the invitation expires.

Until your invite expires, you cannot receive another invitation.

If you receive two invitations in SkillSelect but do not lodge a valid visa application as a result of these invitations, your EOI will be removed from the SkillSelect database and will have to be formally resubmitted to be considered for future invitation rounds. If you do not receive an invitation, your EOI will remain active in SkillSelect for 2 years.

189 invites are sent out on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month and are based on points that you have claimed - applicant with highest points are invited first. For applicants with equal number of points, EOIs with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.

190 invites through a State or territory Nomination by via SkillSelect means that you will be issued an invitation to apply for a visa as soon as you are nominated, rather than having to wait for a scheduled invitation round to take place.

Hope this helps...

All the best with your application. :)

Just check the 189 EOI
If it shows submitted, then all good.

Hi,

Is it possible to submit 2 EOIs ? One in which i am the primary applicant and my husband is the spouse( to claim his 5 points ). The other in which my husband is the primary applicant and I am the spouse ( to claim my 5 points). We both have the same Job code which is Business Analyst.

Absolutely no problems

In fact you can continue to lodge separate EOIs for each state nomination also in both your individual names, if you so desire

That's simple, your EOI freezes with an ITA (you are already invited either with 190 or sc189).

If you have two EOIs or more, than obviously, your EOI will not freeze.

Not sure about legality of having one EOI invited, while waiting for 2nd one (say of the same subclass?) to turn into invited... or having both as invited. However, this is a different set of questions.
