Hello po Ma'am @RheaMARN1171933
Hope you can help me with my query, or anyone who had same situation with me before here?
I have 491 visa (state sponsored - Victoria), I'm offshore since the visa was granted up to now. I'm applying for jobs several times but no luck (maybe because I'm still offshore). I can't get travel exemptions because I don't have job offer or contract to attach on my applications.
As of today, I've talk to an agency who deploys workers to Australia, I've been told that they've found an employer for me, but not in Victoria. The employer and the agency will file travel exemption for me to be able to move to Australia. My skill is in the list of critical skills. My question is, given the situations that we have, can I make my first entry to work/live to other state's Regional Areas but not in Victoria (who sponsored me)?.
I've tried to request for release/waiver from the state, but they told me that, they don't release or give waiver to nominees/visa holders.
Can anyone help me with my decision making?
Thank you and more power.
