491 Visa (Family Sponsored)

bartowski · April 2022

Hi Everyone,

I just would like to ask if meron pong naka-try na magsubmit ng application for 491 visa pero imbes na state nomination, family member sponsored po yung sponsorship.

Kung meron po, can you share your experience and process that you did po? Thanks po

Hi, I did the 491 FS sponsorship. It's essentially the same as 189 but with additional docs for the relative sponsorship part. Straightforward naman saken, I have the dates on my signature.

Uncle ko nagsponsor saken e. I submitted his birth cert, passport and cert of citizenship. Need din ng Statutory declaration na may pirma nya, nasa immi website yung template nun. Sa mom side ko naman (sibling ni uncle), I showed her birth cert as well to prove na related sila. Na CO-contact pa nga ako kasi initially marriage cert lang ng parents sinubmit ko, pero no issues naman til grant.

I feel I can answer this as well. Back then 4 na EOI meron ako (189,190, 491 for 2 different relatives of mine). Walang issue sa multiple EOIs. Just make one each for family and state sponsored.

AuroraAustralis · April 2022

aa okay po. so yung 491 niyo po is both family sponsored? okay lang po kaya na 491 state nomi yung isa then 491 family sponsored yung isa then same state po?

Yes pwede yan. Wala namang bearing ang EOI e, hindi naman chinecheck ang details dyan. Think of it as a raffle entry, walang weight until mabunot. Nagmamatter yan pag visa lodge na. So you can make as many EOIs as you need

okay po. thank you 🙂

Magpaassess si wife - 5 pts (50k pesos)
NAATI cert - 5 pts (25k pesos)
PTE - Superior add 10 pts (12k pesos)
4, Age - wala tayo magagawa dito.
Total - 90 pts + 15 pts (nomination), malaki ang chance makapasok

I was invited with 95 points total back in 2020. Dati sinasagad ko lahat ng points kasi wala ako work exp at all, so lahat ng exam tinake ko (PTE/NAATI). Go for superior pts!

Nagdagdag din ako ng utility bills ng uncle ko like electricity para mapakita ang proof na ang address nya ay regional. Otherwise that's it. Simple lang haha

thank you @MLBS @tigerlance. regarding sa postcode, yung specific suburb po ba ilalagay or okay na na yyng capital lang ng state?

AuroraAustralis · April 2022

@MLBS may additional payment po ba na babayadan ang relative na magsponsor? haha or show money? or babayadan sa gov’t? para maipaghanda na kunsakali hehe.

you will enter yung postcode ng suburb ng sponsor. If it's not a regional area, dun palang sa stage ng eoi madedeny ka na kasi it will show a warning from what I've read here. Wala din show money ang sponsor or anything na babayaran, just the visa lodging fee itself. No extras
