    Hindi ka nila hihingan ng proof upon lodging pero you have to be ready if ever na marandom ka ng CO at hingan ka ng proof of funds.

    Ung POF issubmit ko din po upon lodging ng EOI, tama po ba?

    Oks lang po ba kaya kung PHP ang currency?

    Pinakamahal yata sa NT which is 35k AUD. Okay lang din ba magsubmit sa ibang states kahit di nareached ung POF? Pang WA lang talaga yung sagad na keri ko. Huhu

    list mo lahat ng assets mo then yung value estimate conversion to AUD. ganun ginawa ko dati and sa lahat naman ng kilala ko hindi sila na random check for proof.

    @Hunter_08
    pano po ba proof of assets? kelangan po ba appraised or certified ng bank? or kelangan lang isubmit copy ng passbook then title ng land at condo title?

    sa akin wala akong sinubmit na mga ganyan.. dun sa form na sinagutan ko before ni list ko lang lahat ng assets ko then yun converted value nya. for example yung car/house/insurance tapos yung cash on hand na meron ka.. ganun lang sa akin.. walang certificate akong pinasa nung nag submit ako sa state.. alam ko need mo yan if na random ka na for proof

    not sure about this but for me hindi kasi liability nyo sya hindi sya asset dahil binabayaran nyo pa kasi sya e then yung title hindi pa nakapangalan sa inyo. I could be wrong pero yun lang yun akin...

    I agree. This one is still a liability. Kung fully paid siya, then u can u use it as assets.

    Hi Ms. @RheaMARN1171933 and @aicee :) Pardon me...I would like to jump in here to ask for your help/advice. For 491 Family Stream, would it be okay if my sponsor (eligible relative) is a retiree, living on his pension, and no other sources of income? Mag kakaroon po ba ng setbacks sa 491 FS application ko pag ganito yung status ng relative.

    He is willing naman po to assist me financially, to the extent necessary as stated in the Sponsor Statutory Declaration. Would the case officer be requiring him to provide any Proof of Financial Capacity?

    I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me some ideas or advice. Thank you very much in advance.

    Did you pursue this pathway? I don't think your sponsoring relative must show that he can support you. It was never stated on DHA website. During visa application, the only requirements from your sponsoring relatives are proof of residency in a regional area and a stat declaration stating that he will support you to the extent necessary. Heck with that visa, you could find a job and support yourself. It such a waste if you did not pursue this.

    Hello. Nainvite ako sa 491 FS visa last October. Offshore applicant ako under Critical Occupation. Nabaasa ko lang kasi na may mga offshore applicants for 491 visa who have been waiting for 2 years at hindi pa nagragrant. Ganito ba tlga ang 491 visa? Iniisip ko din kasi na I have to work for 3 years para maka apply for PR.

    I applied for 491 when I was invited last Feb 2020. The long wait times are para sa mga offshore ata, since I know my friends na nainvite din for 491 (nurses) got granted in 1 month, whereas I had to wait for my grant for 6 months kahit similar lang naman kami ng situation (single applicants, no work exp). Yung start naman ng count ng 5 yrs validity ng 491 is when you make your 1st entry here, not the date of grant if you're offshore (if I recall correctly). It's good na nagiinvite na pala sila ng offshore, pero this means more competition na naman since both onshore at offshore na ang hatian ng invites.

    ang pagkakaalam ko po yung 5yr visa for 491 ay mag start na once ma grant ka na. nakalagay din sa mismong visa letter yung validity ng visa.

    Hmm so hindi pala sya nagsstart once nakarating sa Aus? May mga friends kasi ako na under 476 visa e, yung iba sa kanila sinagad yung 2 yr validity ng grant, tas saka pumunta dito then dun nagstart yung 1.5 yrs nilang stay so I was thinking ganun din sa 491. Unfair pala pag ganyan, with the borders closed nauubos lang yung years na valid ang visa.

    @MLBS, sa date ng grant nag-start ang visa. November 9, 2020 ako granted, so just like you 1 year na rin ang nabawas. pero malamang naman may concession yan. need lang makalipad at makawork agad kapag nag-open na ang borders for TRs.
