Thank you @RheaMARN1171933 and @jobxxx. I really appreciate the feedback. Ms @RheaMARN1171933 we posted at the same time and thanks for answering the validity of the documents.

These documents have 12 months validity so usually we wait for the case officer to request for these - s56 letter. You’ll be given 28 days to respond. In any case police check or medical can’t be provided within the timeline for some legit reason, you just need to respond within the given timeline. It’s not the end of the world if you can’t provide them with 28 days;as long as legit yung reason).

This is a provisional visa not just a pathway. It isn’t the same as student visa. Once you meet the residency and income criteria you’ll be eligible for PR visa na. You’ll be foolish to turn this down.

hi, everyone. received my ITA for NSW 491 last May 12, so I have 14 days to send my application to an NSW RDA.
ask ko lang po kung mag-eexpire na yung EOI ko sa June, kailangan ko pa ba gumawa ng bagong EOI while I have an ongoing application to an NSW RDA?

Hi po! Pwede po ba mag move from one designated regional area to another under visa 491? For example po mag initial entry pa lang po kami sa NSW, pero yung nag nominate sa amin ay Riverina.. pwede po kaya deretcho na kami mag live sa Illawara region kase dun kami nakahanap ng work? Like di na kami mag stay sa Riverina kahit sila yung nag grant ng nomination?
Will it affect po yung future application for PR?
Mahirap po kase pa lipat2 lalo na kung family. Family of 3 po kami at may baby.
Salamat po in advance!

ako magbabawas na points ko sa june, kapag magpasa kaya ako sa Illawara at wala pang final decision after my birthday, paano kaya un? For example, may preinvite ako nung May 12, tapos wala pa final invite to lodge the visa sa skillselect after mabawasan points - ano kaya gagamitin ko ung original na points nung May12 na preinvite pa lang o ung points na bawas na?

Ang locked na tinutukoy ko pagnainvite ka na, hindi na nila babaguhin ang points mo sa AGE..
pero pagnabago ang circumstances mo like naging defacto ka or married after invitation to apply. Marerefuse ang application mo. pagnakareceive ka ng invitation, up to visa grant, di dapat magbago unless single ka na nagpakasal sa isang Australian. 10 pts parin ang single and 10 points rin pag Australian ang pinakasal mo. Pero kung single ka, and nagmarry or nadefacto ka sa Non-Australian, from 10 pts, magiging zero points.

Hi! Sino po ang nakapag apply sa RDA Orana? Nainvite po ako ng NSW last May 12, pero ngayon palang po sana ako magpapasa sa RDA Illawarra pero closed na daw po. Ngayon, sa RDA Orana na po ang target namin. Tanong ko po kung may chance po kaya na ma-nominate kasi nakalagay po sa website nila low chance. 🥲 Med Lab Sci Visa 491 95pts. Thank you po sa mga sasagot!

thank you for answering, tigerlance.
question po. ang ROI ba which stage ng application siya dapat ginagawa? kasi ROI daw is needed for applying to an RDA but I received my pre-invite this May lang, which is past the submission window na for ROIs.
so I'm confused kung magpapasa ba ako ng application form sa RDA, but wala namang ROI. I hope anyone can shed a light on this.

Hi po! From my understanding, when you send an EOI for 491, since you can opt for different states it’s up to the discretion of the state if they want to invite/nominate you. While the ROI, since you actively sent an interest to a specific region you’re more likely to be noticed and given a pre-invite earlier. This is just from my understanding since I sent an EOI and ROI during March and got a pre-invite in April to specifically the RDA I chose.
I also got another NSW invite on May 12 so I was confused but realized that it required the same process it’s just that you’re free to look for any available RDA.
So in your case po, you don’t need to send an ROI since you already have a NSW nomination. Just contact nalang po an RDA ☺️

hello @clim , yan din actually ang naiisip ko. i'll take your advise to contact the RDA regarding this ROI requirement sa application nila kasi never pa ako gumawa nito eh.
hi @Ghabreal , actually itong screenshot ko from RDA FSC siya since yun yung target ko rin. lumabas yang message after I filled out their form for "Skill Availability" which will come with an IRN. so currently, I am at Step 6 and waiting for their response bago makapag-send ng application. not sure lang kung gaano katagal nila i-process ito.
for my question about ROI, i'll email na lang separately.
Joined: May 17, 2022
I don’t think kailangan natin ang ROI since nominated tayo with skillselect EOI. Nakasend na din ako ng skill availability pero wala pang reply. How long ka na ba naghihintay for an IRN? Worried ako kasi baka lapse ang invitation to apply since 14 days lang yun inallot.

@Ghabreal yeah, still thinking if need pa nga to reach out regarding ROI. baka nga hindi na kailangan. kailan ka nag-send sa Skill Availability? i just submitted yesterday lang, hanggang ngayon wala pa akong narereceive na IRN eh. i'll post in this thread kung may na-receive na ako.

ah i think yung 48 hours yung window where you need to submit the application. that's from the time they issue the IRN.
