Hello everyone! I got an invitation for visa 491 NSW (Offshore) last May 12. I have a question, do I need to submit po bank statements and other billing infos? Yung nasa document checklist kasi ang nakalagay Residency in Australia, so kapag off shore no need na po ba to include? Thank you!

Hi po! I'm offshore and didn't send any bank statements/ billing info, just the other reqs that's not under Residency in Australia 🙂

Hello sir, ito po ba ung form after magreply ung RDA sa initial na application form?

Hi everyone. I just want to ask what is the difference in the process of visa 491 family sponsored vs state sponsored? I am targeting for Adelaide right now. Currently in their state sponsored, they require more than 8 yrs of experience for engineer and I currently have a little more than 5 yrs. Does this mean I'm not eligible for the family sponsorship as well?

Thanks everyone!

Family Sponsored -

depends on the occupation sa DHA, quota points

State Sponsored - depends on the occupation sa state, quotq points, additional requirements like superior pte, 8 years experience, onshore experience, depende kung ano hinihingi

Kung di pasok sa criteria, try sa ibang state, or 491 fs

For visa subclass 491 (Skilled Regional) holders, are there any technicalities re remote work? Say, you're living in a designated region/postcode but your employer is from a different postcode or even State?

Anyone?

Yes po, after you send your intro they'll email you a list of reqs to email back to them along with an application form that can be downloaded from their site 🙂

Hi everyone! I just want to ask how long will Far South Coast, NSW issue an IRN for visa 491? I requested last May 13 at their RDA site. I’m still hoping and waiting since all other NSW regions are not accepting applications anymore.

Hello, just want to know your advice and thoughts. We are a family of 3 in our early 30s. We are planning to move to AU as PR and it seems like SV is the most viable option because of the tough competition. I'm planning to get a postgrad degree and while I'm studying my master's, my husband will look for full time work. Our background is in the advertising field.

Will it be possible that while I'm studying, he can get a job and be sponsored for a work visa?

plan A:

I'm doing postgrad, my husband will find full time work and get sponsorship

PlanB:

After doing postgrad, I will apply for PR, and use my master's to gain addtl points

Hoping to get some insights... thank you! 🙂

I think it depends on what your points are at the moment & what you plan to study. If you or your husband have at least 8 years of work experience in advertising I suggest that you consider applying for state sponsorship from SA since open pa sya. When it closes for this FY, you can wait until July when all the states will have new sponsorship allocations & check if you meet the requirements of any state.

The risk with studying is that you don't know what the immigration rules will be by the time you graduate. Paiba-iba ang immigration rules ng Australia so it's really hard to predict what your chances will be once you graduate unless you plan to study for high demand jobs like nursing or some other allied health profession.

Another thing to note is that some occupations, such as Marketing Specialist which was my nominated occupation, are only eligible for short term work visas and there is no pathway to PR. They adjusted this recently for those who were here during the pandemic but you don't fall under that category. So if your husband gets an advertising job here he can use that to increase his points but one of you will still have to go through the EOI process if you want to stay here permanently. And again, we don't know what the rules will be a year or so from now.

It would be nice if things pan out as planned. The problem is nothing is guaranteed. All the answers to your questions only time will tell. A lot of education agencies will sell you the ideal picture unfortunately. Student pathway will get you there quicker but it doesn’t mean you’ll get the PR via that pathway. I was a product of this pathway although I was successful it’s not something I will recommend 100% to my clients.

Best to consult with an agent to guide you properly on your migration plans. Advertising specialist and advertising manager is on STSOL….why would you opt for a student visa? Only 189 and 491 (family stream) are subject to priority points. South Australia is open for both occupations (offshore) and they only require at least 65 points, proficient plus English and 8 years experience Tapos from July things are even looking more promising with regards to migration level. Why opt for student visa? That’s a long cut and most expensive way you’re looking at.

Thanks for all the advice. It gave a lot of clarity and put things into perspective. 190 seems to be the reasonable path for us, considering Im a mom of a 2 yr old. It will be hard to juggle master, take care kf a baby, and put a lot of money into tuition. Yes sv paints an express path but yes in the end, pr is not guaranteed 🙂
