    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.

    If you want to apply for 190, you have to withdraw your 491 before it will be granted. Then you will have to start the process and wait for 190 invite. Risky at magasto na move to but if you want to get a PR ASAP, you have to do this.
    To tell you the truth, wala masyadong pinagkaiba ang 491 visa sa PR. You will be eligible for medicare just thesame. Main difference lang is you have to stay on regional area on 491 visa. For immigration purposes, regional area is like 99% of the total land area of Australia. Its all areas except Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. So if you want to live in big cities you can still live in Perth, Newcastle, Adelaide, Hobart, Wollongong etc. I don't really see the point in withdrawing your 491 to try your luck on 190.
    I am on 491 btw living in the beautiful regional town of Port Macquarie.

    You dont have to withdraw your 491 lodgment (waiting for visa grant ka na) if you want to apply for a 190. You can apply for a 190 even if meron ka pending na 491 lodgment. If na invite ka sa 190 while pending pa grant ng 491 mo, you can lodge a 190 but gastos ka ulit.

    As long as no visa is granted, unli apply ka.

    Agree with this. Same situation po ako. Nainvite ako ng 489 SA, 3years ago around August. We lodge mga September 2019 (489). Then October 2019 nainvite kami sa 190 NSW. Pinag isipan naminh mabuti kasi malaking pera ung 7000Aud. But on the plus side, PR to so worth it kung magagrant. So after lodging visa190 on November 2019, withnithdraw namin 489 around Dec2019.

    Masakit lang sa bulsa... Hahha pero PR na kasi so hndi na kami nag dalawang isip e. Pag tinuloy namin 489, we need to work and stay 2years bago makaaply ng PR visa. Madaming nangyayari within 2years.

    okay yan boss. kaso sana di mo wnithdraw 491 para 2 chances of winning ka. you could have waited for either one of them to be granted before withdrawing the other one. that's what happened to me. 491 sa SA, 190 NSW, both lodged and waiting for grant. nung na-grant yung isa, withdraw agad yung kabila.

    Hello po. Pwede po pala na dalawa yung visa application mo?

    i'm not a migration agent but I got advise from good authority/agent that it's okay. you don't have to withdraw any application if meron ka dalawa pending. if you have a 491 and 190 visa application waiting for grant, no issues dapat. if ma-grant either one of the two, you should withdraw the other. take what you can get rather than wait for the visa type you want

    May instances kasi na unang na a approve ung PR. Then the 491 afterwrds. (kung sakaling maglaro lang naman ang tadhana) If u dint withdraw the 491 sayang ung PR kasi kung anu huling maaprove un ung mahohonor na visa. Just heard it from my agent nung time na sinabi ko about my PR invitation. Better to withdraw the 491 after u lodge the PR visa. Not before u lodge the 2nd visa.

    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.

    If you want to apply for 190, you have to withdraw your 491 before it will be granted. Then you will have to start the process and wait for 190 invite. Risky at magasto na move to but if you want to get a PR ASAP, you have to do this.
    To tell you the truth, wala masyadong pinagkaiba ang 491 visa sa PR. You will be eligible for medicare just thesame. Main difference lang is you have to stay on regional area on 491 visa. For immigration purposes, regional area is like 99% of the total land area of Australia. Its all areas except Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. So if you want to live in big cities you can still live in Perth, Newcastle, Adelaide, Hobart, Wollongong etc. I don't really see the point in withdrawing your 491 to try your luck on 190.
    I am on 491 btw living in the beautiful regional town of Port Macquarie.

    You dont have to withdraw your 491 lodgment (waiting for visa grant ka na) if you want to apply for a 190. You can apply for a 190 even if meron ka pending na 491 lodgment. If na invite ka sa 190 while pending pa grant ng 491 mo, you can lodge a 190 but gastos ka ulit.

    Agree with this. Same situation po ako. Nainvite ako ng 489 SA, 3years ago around August. We lodge mga September 2019 (489). Then October 2019 nainvite kami sa 190 NSW. Pinag isipan naminh mabuti kasi malaking pera ung 7000Aud. But on the plus side, PR to so worth it kung magagrant. So after lodging visa190 on November 2019, withnithdraw namin 489 around Dec2019.

    Masakit lang sa bulsa... Hahha pero PR na kasi so hndi na kami nag dalawang isip e. Pag tinuloy namin 489, we need to work and stay 2years bago makaaply ng PR visa. Madaming nangyayari within 2years.

    okay yan boss. kaso sana di mo wnithdraw 491 para 2 chances of winning ka. you could have waited for either one of them to be granted before withdrawing the other one. that's what happened to me. 491 sa SA, 190 NSW, both lodged and waiting for grant. nung na-grant yung isa, withdraw agad yung kabila.

    Hello po. Pwede po pala na dalawa yung visa application mo?

    i'm not a migration agent but I got advise from good authority/agent that it's okay. you don't have to withdraw any application if meron ka dalawa pending. if you have a 491 and 190 visa application waiting for grant, no issues dapat. if ma-grant either one of the two, you should withdraw the other. take what you can get rather than wait for the visa type you want

    May instances kasi na unang na a approve ung PR. Then the 491 afterwrds. (kung sakaling maglaro lang naman ang tadhana) If u dint withdraw the 491 sayang ung PR kasi kung anu huling maaprove un ung mahohonor na visa. Just heard it from my agent nung time na sinabi ko about my PR invitation. Better to withdraw the 491 after u lodge the PR visa. Not before u lodge the 2nd visa.

    understand where you're coming from pero if that's the case, wouldn't that be better kasi at least if you have 2 lodgments, if either one of them gets approved, you have your visa na? PR or not? rather than just one lodgment lang. i guess more lodgments, more chances of getting a visa approved is my thinking

    Its up to you naman, no problem about. Just sharing my insights. If u want to accept or not oki lng naman. Im just sharing the knowledge that i got from my agent. All good 😊

    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.

    If you want to apply for 190, you have to withdraw your 491 before it will be granted. Then you will have to start the process and wait for 190 invite. Risky at magasto na move to but if you want to get a PR ASAP, you have to do this.
    To tell you the truth, wala masyadong pinagkaiba ang 491 visa sa PR. You will be eligible for medicare just thesame. Main difference lang is you have to stay on regional area on 491 visa. For immigration purposes, regional area is like 99% of the total land area of Australia. Its all areas except Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. So if you want to live in big cities you can still live in Perth, Newcastle, Adelaide, Hobart, Wollongong etc. I don't really see the point in withdrawing your 491 to try your luck on 190.
    I am on 491 btw living in the beautiful regional town of Port Macquarie.

    You dont have to withdraw your 491 lodgment (waiting for visa grant ka na) if you want to apply for a 190. You can apply for a 190 even if meron ka pending na 491 lodgment. If na invite ka sa 190 while pending pa grant ng 491 mo, you can lodge a 190 but gastos ka ulit.

    As long as no visa is granted, unli apply ka.

    Agree with this. Same situation po ako. Nainvite ako ng 489 SA, 3years ago around August. We lodge mga September 2019 (489). Then October 2019 nainvite kami sa 190 NSW. Pinag isipan naminh mabuti kasi malaking pera ung 7000Aud. But on the plus side, PR to so worth it kung magagrant. So after lodging visa190 on November 2019, withnithdraw namin 489 around Dec2019.

    Masakit lang sa bulsa... Hahha pero PR na kasi so hndi na kami nag dalawang isip e. Pag tinuloy namin 489, we need to work and stay 2years bago makaaply ng PR visa. Madaming nangyayari within 2years.

    okay yan boss. kaso sana di mo wnithdraw 491 para 2 chances of winning ka. you could have waited for either one of them to be granted before withdrawing the other one. that's what happened to me. 491 sa SA, 190 NSW, both lodged and waiting for grant. nung na-grant yung isa, withdraw agad yung kabila.

    hello. Just want to make sure na tama ang nilalagay ko sa EOI. Yun joining date ko sa company is july 25, 2010 pero sa assessment ko july 25, 2011 and deemed skilled for point test kasi july 25 2010 to july 24 2011 not included daw kasi qualifying period. So sa EOI po ba ang ilagay ko na date under employment is July 25 2011 hindi yung actual joining date ko na july 25, 2010 right? thanks sa sasagot.

    Question lang po regarding sa NBI Clearance ko. Bali yung NBI Clearance na inattach ko po sa ImmiAccount ko will expire on Oct 06, 2022. I left PH last Oct 18, 2021 and I'm currently in Qatar and nag attach na rin ako ng Police Clearance Cert from Qatar. Hihingan po kaya ako ng bagong copy ng NBI Clearance?

    If your clearance expires before they start processing it, you need to get a new one.

    Sa true. Nag-increase rin daw ng budget para makapag-hire ng workers to clear the backlog, kaya lang saan sila kukuha and ano na kaya rate ng processing? :D

    Natapos na ang Jobs and Skills Summit pero walang sinabi kung kelan macclear ang backlog. "The backlogs will be cleared" daw kaya lang baka sa 2025 pa.

    Sa true. Nag-increase rin daw ng budget para makapag-hire ng workers to clear the backlog, kaya lang saan sila kukuha and ano na kaya rate ng processing? :D

    First step may be to announce grants monthly like invitation rounds. Then include in the report how many were chopped off the backlog every round and how many were added every round. Siguro ako lang ang naiinip pero I don't hear much movement sa grants na hindi medicine related occupation.

    Hindi ka nag-iisa :D Sa dami ng backlogs, 'di ko rin alam if lahat ng allotments mapupunta sa backlogs or mai-include new applicants. Curious din ako kung nag-iinvite na ba talaga ng other occupations, including mga nasa STSOL. Rinig ko kasi nurses and engineers are spinecify nilang gusto nilang i-fill na shortage.

    Hopefully we'll see improvements in the months ahead.

    I'm hoping for more tangible result from that Summit like re-implementation of fortnightly invitation rounds, regular announcement of grants, or something na may timeline. Importante yung timeline dahil matagal nagsara sa migrants ang Australia. Time is of the essence.

    Hello po

    Question lang po regarding sa NBI Clearance ko. Bali yung NBI Clearance na inattach ko po sa ImmiAccount ko will expire on Oct 06, 2022. I left PH last Oct 18, 2021 and I'm currently in Qatar and nag attach na rin ako ng Police Clearance Cert from Qatar. Hihingan po kaya ako ng bagong copy ng NBI Clearance?

    Thank you.

    Better to renew your nbi clearance online now before it expires. Based on my experience, nbi clearance expiring within 2 months prompted a CO contact asking me to provide a new one. Upon submission, it took them 36 days to approve my visa.

    hello. Just want to make sure na tama ang nilalagay ko sa EOI. Yun joining date ko sa company is july 25, 2010 pero sa assessment ko july 25, 2011 and deemed skilled for point test kasi july 25 2010 to july 24 2011 not included daw kasi qualifying period. So sa EOI po ba ang ilagay ko na date under employment is July 25 2011 hindi yung actual joining date ko na july 25, 2010 right? thanks sa sasagot.
