Lulu78 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Does anyone know if I can make changes once I submit my EOI? I recently received WA SS and before I returned it, I just realised that I had an extra 5 points for work experience. I have asked if I need to reapply for SS but am wondering if I should withdraw my EOI and start over? Any advice? So disheartened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I would speak to DIAC before you do anything and ask their advice. They are the ones who ultimately make the decision on the amount of points that you have. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 You are welcome. I should have said though that you can make changes to your EOI at any time, but as you say SS has been granted, so I am not sure if this is still allowed as SS would have been granted on the basis of what you stated in your EOI etc. Good Luck and let us know what their response was.

DyLeB Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Having extra points for 190 visa is no help? Unless its the 489 you applied for and now eligible for 190? If you meet the 60 pass mark there is no reason to change EOI or withdraw unless there is a mistake. Many people under claim for work experiance for 190 if meet pass mark less chance of CO not accepting work experience for points. If you meet pass mark and have points claimed no point in doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu78 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I just got an email from WA re. SS saying that I need to reapply for SS with the new pints which is 65 and will only be 75 when they give me the SS. Is that correct? Skillselect gave me a total of 80 points. I counted 65 plus 10 for state sponsorship. DyleB, It appears that they counted 8 yrs work experience instead of 5 post qualification and also counted SS before I got it. I'm sure I only ticked required SS. I might just withdraw EOI to be on the safe side and start a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu78 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Does anyone have a number for DIAC? I can only get the High Commission in London and they weren't very helpful the last time I spoke to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulu78 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Ok, so I have been instructed to reapply for WA SS, another $200 but my own fault, I suppose. I also made changes to to my EOI by entering my work experience differently. I was in the same job for 8.5 years but only 3 of that was post qualification, so entered it under 2 different posts held, so one post spanned the period pre and the other post qualification. I said that the pre qualification work experience was not relevant/related or whatever term it uses. This way the correct points were calculated. I am due to have a chat with an agent in the morning to run this by them and hopefully I will be back in the game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lulu78 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I am applying for 190, I calculated all of my work experience pre and post qual. I changed work exp details on my EOI as DIAC told me to and spoke to WA and they told me to reapply for SS with 70 which apparently includes 5 points for SS that hasn't been approved but they said this was how it was done. DyLeB: I don't know where I got the 10 for SS. so back to where I was a fortnight ago alas a little wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
