Visa 491 State Nomination or Family Sponsored

ARO_Bernardo · April 12

Which is better and with faster approval?

Ozdrims · April 13

Both are same regional visas , it just boils down to processing timelines 491 SNR is by far faster than 491 family sponsored visas -which are also very limited in numbers thus difficult to obtain
You can check the processing timelines in DoHA.
Below is a snapshot for GSM visas processing timelines

Yes ,as long as you are eligible you can submit an EOI , also preferable to send separate EOIs for each state that you're eligible.
Also apply for 189 and 190 as well if you're eligible

It depends on your occupation as well. Not all occupations that are eligible for State nominated 491 are eligible for Family nominated 491.

Based on my understanding, 491 SE is for members of a family unit. I don't think counted until you get married (but not until you enter AU).

Need po ba nasa occupation list po ng eligible for 491 ung partner ko para magka 10 points ako. Or basta po may positive assessment lang sya from vetassess. Possible occupation is General Secretary. Pero wala po sa 491 visa
