Hi All-
I received an invitation to apply for 491 visa just this week. Ang question ko lang pag nagrant na ba ung visa ko need ba ng mga POEA documents pa? Eh kung wala ka pang work pag entry sa Australia.
Tapos madali lang ba mag apply ng work? At san ang magandang regional NSW? Kasi diba pag 491 hindi pede muna sa greater Sydney?

From what I've read, hindi pa kailangan since maghahanap pa lang ng work. Yung ideal region I guess would depend on your occupation. In my case, we are choosing between Newcastle and Wollongong.

Hindi naman ba mahirap ma meet ung salary quota para makapag apply ng 191? Feeling ko kasi hindi ako makakahanap ng work na inclined sa assessed skill ko. Software engr. Kasi ako. Eh feeling ko ung mga work ko nasa sydney mismo

From what I've seen, they are trying to market Wollongong as a hub for Tech startups, so hopefully there's opportunity for you there.

Based po dito yung Wollongong and New Castle daw ay hindi regional areas? Or mali po pagkakaintindi ko. Plan pa naman sana namin is Wollongong sa visa 491.

It only refers to their Economic plans. Both are excluded since they are major hubs already. By DHA definition both still fall under Regional.

Hello Sir makikisali po ako sa usapan
Medyo confuse din ako sa definition.
Ang visa 491 is pwede ba sa SYDNEY na regional meaning mga inner suburbs? ang bawal lang is sa Greater Sydney? tama po ba?

U can check maybe if legit ung medicals niyo. Since u have an agent i think wala kayung access sa Immiaccount niyo. Maybe if u check ur emedical, thats a sign na nakalodge tlaga kayu. Check it here :

Check the MARA number. There are a lot of agencies outside of Australia providing such services but they are not registered agents. Best to ask for their MARA number but then again there are also those agents who charge a fee so businesses can use and claim that they are working with a migration agent when in reality they don’t. Be careful…unfortunately Australian government does not have a way to address such issues with unscrupulous businesses operating outside of Australia.

There's 2 streams for 491 under NSW. One is that you apply directly with an RDA (most of them have already stopped receiving applications). The other one is that Investment NSW will invite you directly (depending if your occupation is in the list).

Kakareceive ko lang ng invitation just over a week ago; nagfill up ng Form 80 these past few days; kumuha ng COC kanina sa Cantonment; waiting for my fingerprinting sa embassy.
