Congratulations! It means you need to enter Australia on or before October 21, 2023 (the last day that you are allowed to enter the country to "activate" the visa). If you're all set to move, you can even fly out tomorrow

Guys, question.

Is it possible that I get invited again after I refused a 189 invitatio
I have a 190 visa lodged and its taking a long time to be granted for some reason. Im having second thoughts of lodging 189 while I wait for my 190 hoping a quicker process. I plan to refuse the 189 ITAbefore the 60 days expiry before I lodge another EOI to get another 189 ITA and extend it.

Is it okay? Can I get invited again?

Legit question naman. Di insensitive yan. Intindihin nyo lang. E kung na invite siya 2x or 3x, with separate eois, pakialam ba ng iba. Im sure madami din dyan may multi eois, di lang naiinvite yun sa inyo.

-190 invited and lodged, waiting for grant
- 189 invite, waiting for lodgment. Di nga lang ma lodge kasi di pala kaya financially kasi nga nakapag lodge na

Option 1: reject the invite, then apply again then wait. Ipon, just in case ma invite ng 189 ulit.

Option 2: borrow money, lodge. Magkano lang naman yan kung 1 or 2 lang kayo magpprocess ng visa. Wait for both 189 or 190 to be granted. Pag may na grant na isa, cancel kabila

At last, a not hypocritical answer. Thanks to you sir. This makes a ton of sense.

And I salute you for standing up for me. Not many of us pinoys are like you, not hypocrite and objective. Us pinoys like to drag people back when we think you're a step farther from us.

Pag mga ganitong problem i think hindi na need e ask sa forum kasi ang main issue is money its not about the visa kasi both are PR naman. If u have money u can really lodge two visas kung sino mauna cancel mo ung isa its a win-win kasi both PR naman. 😉✌🏻

Sure.

Same tayo ng prob sir sa akin 491 lng kaya withdraw ko 491 pra mag apply ng 189 malaking pera tlga masayang pero ang goal kasi natin ay magka PR kya pikit mata na lng pra magbayad ulit🙏🏻 God bless u!

-Ganun din kami, waiting for grant sa 491 family of 4. Almost half million na gastos namin tapos biglang naimbitahan ng 189. Nakakasira ng ulo sa totoo lang.

@jonananak hello kami din ng husband ko waiting for grant sa 491 state nom. NSW tapos kamakailan nainvite kami sa 189. hindi na namin afford na i-withdraw ang 491 kasi sabi ng agent ko wala daw refund and yun nga hindi na namin kaya magbayad ulit. habang tumatagal ang waiting for grant minsan iniisip ko kung worth it ba mag wait kasi parang nakakawalang gana nung nainvite ng 189 so ano yun gusto nila doble ng visa fee hindi biro ipunin ang pambayad medyo nakaka hurt sa part na yun. sorry naglalabas lang ng sama ng loob😢 habang tumatagal nagkaka anxiety na ko lalo na pag may na-gragrant na same occupation ko na sabay lang din namin nag lodge iniisip ko kung ano pa kulang ng application ko or baka dahil sa PTE score ko mga ganong thoughts. minsan nahihirapan na din ako matulog kakaisip kung may kulang ba para ma satisfy sila.
sorry medyo nega na ang mga sinasabi ko. 😢

Kailan po kayo naglodged ng visa 491? Kami kasi June 26th tapos parang wala na ulit balita ng mga na grant ng 491. Ang nagpapalala mg anxiety ko ay yung mga 189 na mabilis lang na grant, halos wala pang 1 month. While tayo na supposed to be express visa parang nakakalimutan na naman. Sa totoo lang wala na din kaming pera para mag lodged ng another pero naiisip ko mangutang nalang. Hayst! 🥺

Hello po... Pwede po makabasa ng kwento nyo tungkol sa pagbayad po ng visa using BDO Debit card. Sabi kasi sakin sa BDO 200k lang ang limit nila for online no pin transactions, hindi aabot dun sa kailangan na bayaran sa visa. Baka po may experience kayo to share kung paano po kayo nakabayad ng inyong visa using Debit Card dito sa Pinas. Salamat po. Or kung CC nan ang gagamitin, pwede ba iba nakapangalan, hindi sya kasama sa visa application, kumbaga makikigamit lang ng CC. Salamat po ng marami kabayan!

Hi po. Base po sa mga nabasa ko sa FB groups, yung iba umaabot ng 1 month or more bago ma-withdraw completely. Better to lodge your 189 na agad bago pa biglang ma approve yung 491 mo kung 189 talaga ang target mo.

Congrats sa Invite sir! Dapat maka-entry ka na sa Australia before the said date. Meaning dapat nasa Australia ka na on or before October 21, 2023.

May I ask kailan po kayo naglodge ng visa ninyo?
