    Wanna share my frustrations to this group. Just got my 491 visa grant last Sept 13. Sabi ko dedelete ko EOIs ko for 189/190 but my father just passed away before I received my visa grant, kaya nawala sa isip ko talaga idelete. Today, I also received ITA for 189 Med. Lab Scientist. I really wanna grab it but what else can I doooo AAGHHGSH

    unfortunately bawal mag apply ng any other PR visa for 3 yrs after ma grant ng 491. So di pwede mag apply ng 190 at 189.

    dont get me wrong po sana hehe thankful pa rin naman po ako for the 491 visa nahihinayang lang dahil naiisip ko na sana naantay ko pa. yun lang po but i still wish po na pwede ko pa magrab yon kasi 189 na yon eh huhuhu. congrats po sa lahat ng nainvite and pray lang po sa mga di pa nakareceive! goodluck everyone!

    Same situation ako, @oeoe. But don't feel bad. Just think na may reason si Lord bakit tayo na-grant ng 491 before getting this ITA from 189 :) Cheer up and good luck sa big move to AU!

    And congrats sa lahat ng naka-receive ng SC189 ITA! Cheers!

    huhu same situation :( kala ko matagal pa grant ng 491 kaya naglodge ako tapos wala pang 1 month nagrant na bigla. then now may 189 invite. If offshore ba at hindi pa umalis to AUS to use the 491 visa, pwede pa bang magapply for 189? sorry hoping lang na may magawa pa for 189. May ganung case na ba nagawa?

    I am really not sure about this but if gantong case siguro, you would need to totally cancel ang 491 visa mo. Pero check mo rin po kung may possible way ba talaga. And of course, given ang processing time ng 189, it would really take time. All the best po :)

    Thanks dear. Nakita ko nga din processing time ng 189. parang tapos ka na sa 491 bago ma-grant hehe. hay grabe naman nila paglaruan ang feelings natin. lol nasa AUS na ba kayo? kita kits po! :)

    Hahaha true. Pero ayun, move on na lang :)

    Sa December ang BM po namin, see you po!

    nag lodge na kayo ng 189 visa? ok na yung pte nyo, locked na yung validity nun.
    magkaka problema lang ang expired na pte pag nag entertain pa kayo ng new invitations (makes me wonder why??? lol). haha withdraw nyo na lang yung EOIs nyo na iba, para rin hindi na kayo kasama sa pool.

    ah valid pa yan. 2yrs lang kasi ung nasa certificate. pero for migration purposes, 3yrs talaga sya.

    Pa-rant lang. nakakafrustrate, ang dami ko nakikita sa occupation ko onshore na parehas ako ng points at salary pero bakit parang ako na lang yung hindi naiinvite sa point level na yon? Badtrip. Ang sakit sa loob at bigat sa mental health. With my visa expiration looming closer, nakakasira ng ulo.

    Wanna share my frustrations to this group. Just got my 491 visa grant last Sept 13. Sabi ko dedelete ko EOIs ko for 189/190 but my father just passed away before I received my visa grant, kaya nawala sa isip ko talaga idelete. Today, I also received ITA for 189 Med. Lab Scientist. I really wanna grab it but what else can I doooo AAGHHGSH

    dont get me wrong po sana hehe thankful pa rin naman po ako for the 491 visa nahihinayang lang dahil naiisip ko na sana naantay ko pa. yun lang po but i still wish po na pwede ko pa magrab yon kasi 189 na yon eh huhuhu. congrats po sa lahat ng nainvite and pray lang po sa mga di pa nakareceive! goodluck everyone!

    grabe itooooo. masakit sa puso ito. granted na 491 mo, and as far as i know, hindi pedeng mag apply ng 189 ang 491 holders, kasi merong 191 kayo down the road. consult ka po sa agent... baka meron silang way to go about this. but logic tells me, baka need mong rescind ang 491 para makapag apply ng 189.

    good luck! and condolence na rin sa recent passing ng father mo.

    oo nga po yun nga din po alam ko eh. di ko po kasi inexpect na within 12 days lang maaapprove na yung 491 ko. akala ko kasi 25% of applications ay 3 months processing haha. thank you sir! baka may reason si God bat ito ang binigay sakin. thank you po ulit

    Same situation ako, @oeoe. But don't feel bad. Just think na may reason si Lord bakit tayo na-grant ng 491 before getting this ITA from 189 :) Cheer up and good luck sa big move to AU!

    And congrats sa lahat ng naka-receive ng SC189 ITA! Cheers!

    oo nga po yan nalang din po iniisip ko para di gano mahinayang. thank you so much po for your reply. goodluck po sa atin!

    huhu same situation :( kala ko matagal pa grant ng 491 kaya naglodge ako tapos wala pang 1 month nagrant na bigla. then now may 189 invite. If offshore ba at hindi pa umalis to AUS to use the 491 visa, pwede pa bang magapply for 189? sorry hoping lang na may magawa pa for 189. May ganung case na ba nagawa?

    akala ko rin po matagal processing. kaya iniwan ko muna yung eoi ko nagbakasakali na may chance pa sa 189. 12 days lang nga po yung akin nagrant na agad. ok na din siguro po yon. same benefits, pr lang naman naiba makukuha rin natin in 3 years yon. alam ko po once granted na wala na po talaga magagawa eh. nagtanong po yung friend ko sa agent will let you know po. pero less expectations nalang rin. kasi sa lahat po ng nabasa ko before, di na allowed sa 189/190 ang 491 holders. kitakits nalang po sa au! goodluck po sa atin

    Okay lang yan. Focus sa positives sa situation mo, kahit gusto mo bukas pumunta na dito at mag-start na ng bagong buhay, pwede na. Not sure if you are allowed to apply for the 189 or 190 visa since you already have a 491 visa, kung pwede at may money ka, go for it.

    thank you so much for this reply po. will just make the best out of it po.
