Matanong ko lang po.... (maybe this would make sense to others). Sa mga naka tanggap po nag ROI Invitation, sino po sa inyo ang meron ganitong view kung saan makikita nyo ang "START AN APPLICATION" for 190. Sino po nakapag try na e click yan to create another application for 190?
Nawala na kasi yang options na yan sa web page ko...

Just my two cents.
Alam ko naman na 491 lang talaga ang offer ni SA for offshores.... pero baka kasi meron din nag babaka sakali out of curiosity... haha Kasi sa Invitation email may naka lagay na: " South Australia reserves the right to offer a 491 provisional visa nomination for applicants otherwise eligible for a 190 visa nomination "

Hello! Yung nareceive ko yung pre-invite, ginawan nila ako ng action item (found below My application) and I’m supposed to lodge my application through it and not to start a new application. Hindi po ba ganto sa inyo? Also, sa preinvite email sa inyo, ano po ang nakaindicate? 190 or 491? Thank you.

according to the description from an immi agent website.
The new 491 visa, Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) subclass 491 visa will enable eligible skilled workers and their families to live, work and study in designated regional areas of Australia for 5 years. Visa holders will be eligible to apply for a Permanent Residence visa after three years.

Kung tama pagkakaintindi ko, if you're holding a 491 visa then you can enrol your kids as local students in govt educ sector. Sa website na to, nakalagay na pwede ienrol ang mga bata as local students for all 489 holders. Since napalitan na ng 489 to 491, it might be holding the same eligibilites.
