Hello @RheaMARN1171933
I have a question to ask regarding visa 491 as a pathway to PR under visa 191..is it feasible if for instance you arrive at Australia at age 42 under 491 visa. then after 3 yrs. you'll be eligible to apply for PR under visa 191 right? but by this time your age is 45 y.o already..so my question is..by this time, does the age requirement of below 44 y.o still apply or will it be waived because you already fulfilled the 3 years of staying in the regional area?
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, walang age requirement ang 191. Heto nakalagay sa immi website

You must:

You hold an eligible visa

have lived for at least 3 years in a designated regional area

have had a taxable income at or above a specific income threshold for at least three years while holding your eligible visa

have complied with the conditions of the eligible visa you hold or have held.

I have checked the immi website, sabi dun with the 191 visa:

work and study anywhere in Australia
sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence
if eligible, become an Australian citizen.

For number 2, meaning we can already sponsor family members kahit di pa tayo citizen?

@EricTC pwede mag sponsor na ang PR for 491 FS as long as nasa regional ka. Hindi ko lang alam kung may number of years dapat na nakatira ang PR sa regional bago makapag sponsor. Hinahanap ko din kasi yon since may ssponsor-an kami na kamag anak. Pero nag lodge na lang kami ng EOI for 491 FS. Since mababa lang allocation for 491 FS, ineexpect na namin na di maiinvite agad agad.

Current selling rate is 39.02 at the time of posting.

1.Kung may kakilala ka sa AU na may atm card, then papalitan mo in peso pagkauwi sa pinas.
2. Credit card with us dollar feature kung wala, sorry kasi may additional charge yan pag peso credit card lang.

Pag granted po ba ng 491 visa, dadaan pa sa poea? E wala pa naman pong job offer.

ozdreamer2019 · September 2022

Hello. Sa mga v491 holders po dito na nag enrol ng diploma/cert sa TAFE, discounted po ba yung rate nyo? Or same tuition fees pa rin ba kagaya ng naka student visa? Thanks sa sasagot. 😊

wenwerwu · September 2022

question lang. sa employment history sa EOI.

example, Engineer ako from 2015-2019
then promoted to Senior Engineer 2019-present.

pero sa EOI ko, nalagay ko lang is Senior Engineer - present. Magkakaproblem kaya ako if ever? Naglodge ako invitation recently for SA 491. so waiting pa sa response.

Pero sa EA assessment ko, assessed naman yung 2015-present na work ko and isang line entry lang sya. Thanks!

Hi everyone, need your thoughts on the following:

NBI- ok lang ba Multi-purpose ung nakalagay? hindi naman sinabi sa DHA dba na dapat for Australia migration purposes? may NBI na kasi ako last June so I will use it then.

Tourist visa application while Visa 491 will be lodged- I currently have a tourist visa application still under further assessment for my December 2022 holiday plans and to make use of the waiver for my expired and unused Tourist visa last 2020 due to pandemic. In the event that I will lodge a Visa 491, hindi naman to maging conflict or issue tama?

Medical fee- Visa 491 is still a temporary visa right? so upon setting an appointment for medical, am I right that I will pay for a temporary visa fee and not for permanent visa?

Need anyone's thoughts for me to have an affirmation on my own understanding on my case para di magkamali.

Thank you for those who can share some advice or answers.

No conflict sa police clearance. May barcode naman kung gusto ng DHA magverify
Alam na ng St. Lukes yan or Nationwide Health System. Iba ang presyo ng medical ng 189 and 190 vs 491.
Hindi siya magcoconflict kasi idedeclare mo yan sa application mo sa 491 na may tourist visa ka na sa AU.

Thank you @tigerlance.

May further question ako, maybe you could help or anyone please.

Upon lodging a visa on employment portion, the thing is I have a new employer started last June 2022 and I am still in probationary period. This new job, hindi pa kasi qualify for assessment and so hindi ko pa inupdate sa assessing authority kasi irrelevent naman and di pa pasado sa requirements na at least 1 year. Pwede ko naman isama to sa employment list ko dba pero I will just tick "NO" for the following questions: do you claims points for this employment? and is the employment related to the nominated occupation?, tama ba na NO but I will just attach contract and payslips?

Thank you in advance sa maka advice.

I clarified the same question re: medical fee. I chose temporary as well with the same idea in mind (491 applicant here) but upon paying the fee on-site, the cashier charged me the cost of permanent visa. She explained that I needed to undergo and pay the HIV test listed on my health exam request, which temporary visas do not have.

Hi MsRhea paano po kung ang 1 year na deducted ng vetassess during assessment ay “no” ang nailagay ko sa tanong na “is this employment related to nomination?” I just breakdown the year na deducted ng vetassess at ang positively assessed but same company, same job post lang sila. Dapat ba yes ang sagot sa tanong na “is this employment related …?”
Thank you po.

Pa piggyback lang po sa question, sorry. haha. Bali ilang years po ang maximum allowance before you need to make your first entry from grant date?

grant date ->** [number of years]** -> first entry. ilan yung nasa enclosed bracket at kung start ba ng countdown eh from grant date? thanks.

ghraizey · October 2022

Hi. Question lng po sana..pag 491 visa po sa south australia, libre po ba school ng bata 4 yrs old? Appreciate advise. Thanks

wenwerwu · October 2022

Hi Guys, yung US greencard po ba ay ilalagay sa "national identity card" or sa "other identity document"?

Yung sa parents info kasi. parents ko po kasi ay US immigrants. Thanks po.

Miss @RheaMARN1171933 , any thoughts po? Thanks

C0pper · October 2022

Hi miss @RheaMARN1171933, with visa 491 (applied with partner points), may possibility po ba na sabay magrant ang visa together with partner? Or need muna maapprove ng main applicant before i-apply ng subsequent entrant 491 (partner)? Nakareceive kase ako ng pre-invite for SA.

Thank you in advance din po sa mga makakapagbigay ng advise.

Hi @gerchitect I think ung Architectural, Building and Surveying Technician is more on-site, nagaassist ka s site overall like supervising and inspecting construction sites, estimating time, costs and resources, inspecting plumbing work, and collecting and evaluating survey data and preparing maps and plans. I think we are the same architectural background if im not kistaken. D2 sa tassie un NEC is more on site work different from architectural draftsperson. I hope nakatulong to para s cover letter mo

gerchitect · October 2022

Hi @Enzeru08 , thanks for this sir. great help sir. Appreciate this. Yan din po ba yung pathway niyo before?
