Visa 190 and 491

@kurtzky said:
Pag 491 visa po ba need pa rin registered sa POEA/OWWA? Meaning mag apply pa rin tayo ng OEC if mangagaling sa Pinas? TIA

up! same question po, if ever mainvite for 491 hehe

Janellelbc

can i ask po. regarding sa eoi na family sponsored 491, sa eoi ba nakaindicate na kung sino ang sponsor agad or sa paglodge palang ng visa? `

milkthea

Hello po. Good evening. May questions lang po ako

1. Kamusta po yung rate of approvals for visa 491?
2. Napansin niyo po ba kung gaano usually kabilis yung processing ng visa 491?
3. Tingin niyo mas mahirap to na path to PR or mas ok diretso apply to PR? Kung may direct sibling na sponsor na PR/Citizen

Salamat po sa tulong

Janellelbc

How fast po yung average na pag grant ng 491 visa sa mga nabigyan na po ng grant? Esp sa mga 491 family sponsored.

Hello, meron po ba ditong eligible for 491 and 190/189, pero nag-decide na mag-lodge lang for PR? Pinagiisipan ko pa kasi kung better na put eggs in many baskets and take all the opportunities I can get. Haha! PR kasi sana talaga ang gusto ko, lalo na't may Medicare sya, which is gusto ko sana to help with health maintenance.

(Hope it doesn't come off as mapili, just trying to make an informed decision, 'wag niyo po ako awayin )

I'm only eligible for 491 and 190 but I opted out of 491 too since it's just like another work visa which is already my current status in Ireland with path to PR/citizenship too with the same duration of eligibility. So tinarget ko na lang talaga direct PR to Au.

Depende talaga sa priorities mo, like gusto mo na ba lumabas ng Ph no matter what? haha, then lodge 491 too, to increase your chances, but that's just me.

Thanks, Mam/Sir! Competitive po ba sa occupation mo? 85 pts din ako for 190, so your journey gives me hope! Haha, galing mo po!!

If you can get PR now go ahead. from 2017 til recently sobrang hirap mainvite. Ngayon lang naging maluwag ang Aus. So samantalahin nyo na now because baka mamaya pag gusto nyo na mag apply, closed na naman sila.

Ayun nga rin po ang iniisip ko. Lalo na't medyo mababa rin points ko compared sa iba. Salamat po! Sana nga makuha ang PR invite. 🙏🏼

Hello, not a nurse but I would say if you have the means, try it. No one can say for sure what your chances are. Ang dami ring naiinvite ngayon na 65-80 points, and I believe priority pa rin ang healthcare workers.

Best of luck with it!

You can try to apply in all san ka ma invite in my time 2018 thats what i did.... 491 has medicare ( interim) which i dont think has no difference to green medicare thingy ( difference is you can apply for something that you can use to lower your tax)....... 491/489 is different to working visa as what quoted by one who commented...... 489/491 you can work, live and study in designated post code while working visa not allowed ka mag work sa iba in 491 you have freedom to work kahit saan basta ma meet mo yung salary threshold needed to apply for PR.... yes ofcourse PR is good it has more pros like scholarship, mag aaral ka tuition mo is not domestic fee, you can apply for first home buyer scheme..... it comes medicare this is my personal experience and as nurse even may medicare ka still you have to pay especially if you cant find GP na bulk billed and some test, procedures may gap pay padin...and still advisable to have private insurance or ambulance service in which some states are not free....... whichever comes first na ma invite ka mahalga maka punta ka d2 and work..... good thing din naman sa 491 if single ka is like you have 3yrs tl save money for house downpayment and mas madami sya sakop na post code like newcaslte, wollongong na near sa sydney and its like nasa city kana di k mabobored.....

That's historical data. Nasama sa bilang yung mga naglodge pa ng 2020 at wala pang grant kaya ganyan yan katagal. 4-6 mos ang 491 grant sa onshore lately based sa friends ko na nag apply.

November 2022 ako nag create EOI ng NSW. kaso nga lang may bayad NSW nomination application $330 kaya dun nalang ako sa VIC if walang 189 na dumating.

Hi. 2 years na rin pala nakalipas simula nung nag asikaso ako to apply visa 190/491. Dumating kasi bigla si Covid kaya bigla nawala sa isip ko.
Nakapag asawa na ako at lumagpas na yung age ko sa maximum point bracket.
Kaya from 70 points naging 55 points ako( di pa kasama dito PTE proficient/superior at partner PTE points)

Ang tanong ko is,

1. Given na 55 points lng ako, need ko ba makuha muna yung minimum 65 points bago ako ma invite for visa 49?

2. As per Visa consort na nakusap ko dito. Kahit 55 points lang daw ako pwede daw maapplyan ko ung 491 ksi magbibigay naman daw ng 15 points pag na select ako. Gano katotoo?

3. Nag research din kaso ako. As per research, bago ka select for visa 491 o bago mo makuha 15 points from visa 491 is dapat meron ka muna minimum of 65 points. Tama po ba ito? Or Tama si Visa consort? See #2

1. yes kelangan mo makuha yung 65pts. minimum. pero if 55 ka na currently and nagapply ka ng 491, automatic may +15 ka when you lodge the EOI to apply for the visa, so makukuha mo pa rin yung minimum na 65.
2. totoo naman.
3. makukuha mo yung 15pts once maglodge ka ng EOI. makikita mo yun sa summary ng points mo. so tama pa din si visa consort.

in short, pwede ka magapply ng 491 kahit 55pts. and tama si visa consort.

Hi,
Salamat po sa pagsagot.
Ano po suggestion nyo, applyan ko 189, 190, at 491?
Kasi nagporepare naman ako ngayon ng todo para maka 80 sa PTE.
Much better ba sya?

1. Ano score na result sa PTE?
2. Kung yung occupation mo qualified sa 189, 190 or 491. Depende rin sa occupation. Hindi lahat pwede sa 189, iba rin ang occupation for 190 na bawat state, iba rin pag sa family sponsored na 491, iba rin pag state sponsored occupation list sa 491. Kaya you need to search it, isa rin advantage na may agency kasi ireresearch nila yan based sa given circumstances mo

Syempre ang best ay 189. Kasi walang restrictions. Magstay ka sa AU ng 4 years, citizen ka na from date of arrival.

I suggest na create po kayo ng EOI for each subclass . Update niyo nalang po once may atleast Competent English napo kayo (assuming na meron na din po kayo positive Skills Assessment). Then submit na din po kayo nun ROI for VIC if gusto niyo po sa VIC, para may chance din po kayo mainvite.
