    Hello everyone,

    Sharing some positive news to keep you all going.

    For Visa 491 South Australia,
    Submitted ROI: 02 Oct
    State Nom: 26 Nov
    ITA: 20 Dec

    Occupation: Statistician
    Location: Offshore (SG)

    Magsasubmit pa lang kami ng agent ko ng visa application bukas. Natagalan kasi may sinort-out pa dahil sa updated marital status ko.

    Sana tuluy-tuloy lang mabilis lang yung grant, so hope we can all pray together!

    Keep safe y’all! And don’t lose hope! Papansinin din nila tayo!

    Congrats!!!! Pa-fishball ka naman! :) hahaha! Fighting!

    Good day mga ma'am and sir.

    If ever ba mag send ako ng ROI for NSW eh dapat palitan ko ung EOI ko para NSW lang din ang nakalagay na "preferred location"? Currently kasi eh halos nilagay ko lahat ng locations sa EOI ko.

    Hoping to get some inputs.

    Thank you. Ingaaaat!

    Hello po. I heard some states prefer that you choose their state sa EOI mo. Kaya po yung iba, merong multiple EOI, depende sa state. I am not really sure kung totoo, but when I got my invitation sa NSW, yung EOI ko is for NSW lang.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi, tanong lang po. I got nominated for visa 491, pero biglang hindi na pwede yung employer ko sa state na yun. Now I got a job offer pero sa different state na, okay lang ba to apply for nomination sa another state? This time employer sponsored 186 na?

    491 is state nominated, walang kinalaman ung employer dun. If may nahanap kang employer na willing to sponsor you for 186, go mo na. 186 is is PR na.

    hello. just curious, if you got an invite for a 190 in NSW but you have a pending 491 application in SA (where you paid fees and submitted requirements already), can you still push through with the invite for 190 in NSW?
    Can the visa fees in paid for 491 in SA be refunded?

    Yes, you can still lodge for 190 NSW but you have to cancel your ongoing 491 SA visa application. And no, you cannot refund any visa application fee.

    hello sir. where does it say specifically that we have to cancel pending visa application? I did get a warning, see below. But I was able to push through with the 190 application, no errors or warning.

    Talked to several agents, it seems that as long as the 491 is not yet granted, the 190 can be lodged - which is what happened. if in case the 491 is granted, the 190 can still be granted as well as the most beneficial visa that will be honored. the 190 will just override the 491.

    Yes, you can still lodge for 190 NSW but you have to cancel your ongoing 491 SA visa application. And no, you cannot refund any visa application fee.

    hello sir. where does it say specifically that we have to cancel pending visa application? I did get a warning, see below. But I was able to push through with the 190 application, no errors or warning.

    Talked to several agents, it seems that as long as the 491 is not yet granted, the 190 can be lodged - which is what happened. if in case the 491 is granted, the 190 can still be granted as well as the most beneficial visa that will be honored. the 190 will just override the 491.

    If I am not mistaken, you cannot apply for other visas that are part of the General Skilled Migration program if you're already a 491 visa holder, unless it is 191 (PR pathway of 491 holders).

    hello. just curious, if you got an invite for a 190 in NSW but you have a pending 491 application in SA (where you paid fees and submitted requirements already), can you still push through with the invite for 190 in NSW?
    Can the visa fees in paid for 491 in SA be refunded?

    Yes, you can still lodge for 190 NSW but you have to cancel your ongoing 491 SA visa application. And no, you cannot refund any visa application fee.

    not yet a visa holder. the 491 is still in received status when the 190 was lodged. you're right, i won't be able to lodge a 190 **IF **i have a 491 already but since i don't, the system allowed to lodge a 190.

    Hi. I have submitted an ROI last January 2022. Do I need to resubmit an ROI for March?

    Hello! As mentioned on below screencap from the website:

    ONE ROI should only be submitted PER SUBMISSION WINDOW.

    I also did submitted an ROI last January 2022, but as to my understanding submission of ROI per window is okay.

    Sending your ROI more than once per window is NOT allowed (ei. twice for January window).

    This is my personal understanding but If I'm wrong, I think I am also in trouble.

    Thanks!
