hi to all! i have pending visa lodge application for 491 already (1 month ago). and since open na yung 22-23 program for 190 offshore, i am planning to submit another eoi. if i received state 190 nomination, while my 491 visa lodge is still pending in immiaccount, what is the best option --- withdraw my 491 application and submit visa lodge application for 190? hoping for answer and suggestions.
@datch29 pre pareho kayo ng concern π
Ang 491 visa po kasi ay hindi PR visa, need po mag-comply under certain conditions for 3 years, then magiging eligible to apply for a 191 PR visa later on.
Ang 190 visa po ay PR visa na, so if straight-forward comparison with 491, mas better ang 190.
Ang factor to consider po for me is 'yung waiting time for visa grant. We'll never know gaano po talaga katagal or ano ang mas mabilis na maga-grant between 491 and 190, nasa kamay na po ito ng DHA.
At the end of day, it's your decision pa rin po talaga, patience-wise and money-wise. Good luck po!
And just to add po pala, 491 visa ang na-grant sakin last June. Happy naman po ako π
