Inquiry: 491/489 visa

tmasuncion · January 2022

@haringkingking salamat sa inputs.
@RheaMARN1171933 I know the agent very well and I think the 1800 USD is just updating the EOI, but will ask them to double check kung ano ang inclusion sa 1800 na yun.

PERO.. basi sa experience ko, separate yung bayad sa mag lodge ng application in response to ITA.
I just remembered , they even ask me to certify-true-copy all my documents during the lodgement. that costed me around 2000 USD.. pero wala na ako maga kasi excited na ako. pero skeptical ako if required ba talaga yun. Note: lahat ng documents ko naka certify true copy na sa labas.. pero gusto nila ipa certify ulit kasi kelangan daw and bagong patakaran sa MARA daw. bummer!

Hello po. Inquiry about 491 visa. For example, di makahanap ng work sa state na nagsponsor, is it allowable to find job sa ibang region/state? Thank you.

Hi... for state-sponsored 491 visa, you can not work/live outside of the sponsoring state for a certain period of time. For NT, it is required that you reside in the state for at least three years. You will sign a commitment letter before you are granted the state nomination. And there are reporting duties, the state might ask you for proof of residency anytime. If you don’t comply, the state may withdraw its sponsorship and your visa will be canceled.

Regarding this, medyo hesitant talaga mag move outside ng sponsored state/region esp may duly signed commitment pa. Although as per my agent, moral obligation lang daw yun and the grant was given by Home Affairs hence pwede naman daw lumipat at anytime. He even cited sa condition 8579 na basta regional area lilipatan mo no prob. @RheaMARN1171933 mam what's your take on this?

The work arrangement is just an agreement between you and the sponsoring state. There’s no breach of visa condition if you don’t comply with the requirement. However, the state may withdraw the nomination. Best to liaise with the state as this is somehow not an immigration matter. I know a few clients who managed to move state by just demonstrating they’ve exhausted all ways of finding employment. As an agent, I don’t get involved on these things anymore as our service ceases once visa is granted.

Thank you po for replying. Big help.
Risky nga if lilipat ng state other than the sponsoring state. Noted din sa commitment letter.

Un din po pagkakaintindi ko sa DRA, na pwede lumipat sa approved postal codes. Baka lang din nagbago ang provision ngayon covid period and newly opened ang 491. Thank you po sa pag reply.

Hi Ms @RheaMARN1171933 ! noted po. re in liaise with the state, did the clients inform the state before or after moving to another regional area po? Was it formal like sa immig site, or during bg check po ng sponsoring state once inside au? Super thanks!!

You can apply for PR visa 191 after you've met the conditions to live & work in a regional area for 3 years & earned at least the minimum required income during those 3 years.

Salamat sa insight mam. So ang issue na lang talaga is yung withdrawal ng nominating state.
I do understand po na case to case basis lang siya pero may I ask mam how often nangyayari yung ganitong cases? (Withdrawal ng nominating state).

bbtot · February 2022

Hello po. Ask ko lang sa mga nakauwi na dati from Aus to PH on a 489 visa, kelngan pa ba ng PDOS upon departure from PH? Or exit lang ulit as normal? Thanks in advance po sa mga sasagot

JamesD · February 2022

hi maam @RheaMARN1171933 , pwede po ba lumipat ang 491 visa holder sa ibang designated regional area aside po dun sa region na nag nominate sakin? and regarding po sa condition ng 191 PR visa. kung halimbawa po may job offer ako sa company na $53,900. ibig sabihin po ba nacomply ko na yung income requirements to be eligible for visa 191?hindi po kasi clear sakin yung tinatawag na taxable income.

kimpoy · March 2022

Good day po.

Pwede po kaya yung 1 part time job tapos aabot ng 35hrs/week para sa visa887? Just incase magkaroon po ng paid overtime. Wala po kasi akong mahanap na clear info sa website.
For future reference po.

Question: I will apply Subclass 491 but the family sponsored visa. Can my uncle which is my mother’s first cousin is eligible to sponsored me?

Unsullied_06 · April 2022

Hello good day po. Question lang po regarding Visa 491, since closed na yung March window para sa FY 2021-22, ang ginawa ko nakadraft lang muna yung EOI ko sa SkillSelect for 491. Tama po ba ko ng pagkakaintindi na required hintayin magbukas yung next submission window para sa ROI submission? Kasi iniisip ko walang sense kahit gumawa na 491 EOI ng wala ka naman corresponding ROI tama po ba yun? Lumabas na po kasi kahapon positive EA assessment ko kaya yung EOI for Visa 189 at 190 nasubmit ko na. Eh gusto ko na din po ayusin yung sa 491 sana since realistically speaking dun mas may chance mainvite nowadays. Patulong po sa may alam please. Salamat.

TINKALAW · April 2022

Hi. Good morning po. Sa mga SC 491 visa holders at nakarating na sa AU tatanong ko lang po sana about sa subclass 491 state nominated, kung sa Illawarra NSW RDA ka nakareceived ng pre invite, dun ka lang ba allowed mag stay at mag work or pwede ka mag stay sa ibang regional area within NSW?

Thank you po in advance♥️

Why do you need to do a new EOI for 491? You can just use Your existing one and add 491 to it.
