I have received a NSW 190 pre-invite in June but I have not accepted it as I travelled offshore in December 2020 and forgot to change my country of residence to India.
Now I am travelling back to onshore in few weeks.
Can you please confirm if the same EOI will be valid for receiving another 190 invite or do I need to lodge a new one?
The EOI on which you receive a final invite will be locked for 60 days (As you need to lodge visa within that timeframe), If visa isn’t lodged in that time, the same EOI will be part of the invitation pool again after 60 days.
In case of pre-invite, you get 14 days to submit documents to the state for a final approval/rejection during which the EOI will be locked. If you do not file your documents, the pre-invite will expire after 14 days and the same EOI will be part of the pool again for next round of invitations.
