    Thanks a lot @fgs for the insight, just to be on the safe side I'll honor na lang po yung moral obligation ko sa QLD. Wala pa po ako sa AU planning to make my BM approximately on June.

    Toowomba is the biggest regional city only 2 hrs away from Brisbane. May mga 489 visa holders ako kilala don. I also started on a 489 visa sponsored by SA. Lived and work there for almost 4 years and moved to Qld a year ago. I still work in SA remote

    @aron_drn yea I think doon narin ako sa safe side dahil risky talaga mg gumble sa application ng 887 later on. Thank you for sharing that situation :)

    @fgs thanks po I'll consider that place knowing na marami din daw pong pinoy dyan. First option po is construction industry or kahit anu po muna initially would be great.

    @MLBS Thanks sa response sir. To be clear, halimbawa na-invite ka na for 489. You have lodged na and submitted all requirements and paid for visa 489 fees and just waiting for CO contact/ Visa grant, but then inabot ka til November wala pa binibigay sayo, so anong rules mag-aapply since abolished na visa 489 by that time?

    Whew. Salamat po sa clarifications, @MLBS. Buti hindi naman automatic refusal. Hehe. Goes to show na talagang naghihigpit na sila sa rules.

    @bob88 ma aabolish na po 489? Sorry po, di pa po ako nakakapag basa ng news.

    Note: Nabasa ko na po na irereplace ng 491. Hehe. Thanks po.
