    Good afternoon, ganu katagal bago maaprove ung withdrawal ng 491 visa application? Plano sana namin iwithdraw ung 491 visa lodge at mg lodge ng 189 visa.

    may naka chat din ako sa fb group na na further assessment parin status ng 491 nya pero granted na ang kanyang 189 hehe.. better lodge it asap bago pa ma grant ang 491. thats what i did.

    Question po, pwede pa ma refused yung visa 491 kung nag request ka ng refund? Ganito po kasi yung situation namin, nainvite kami ng 189. Plan to apply for 189 pero bago yan triny muna namin mag request ng refund for visa 491 pero hindi namin winithdraw yung 491 visa application. Halimbawa po kayang ma refused yung refund, automatic cancel na din po ba yung 491 visa application namin?

    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.

    @ChiliGarlicSauce @aev3rd , hello po. Received an ITA from WA for 491 last October 22, 2022. Dun sa email, merong link na Start My Application and niredirect ako sa WA Migration website. Natapos ko naman po magfill-out and mag-attach ng docs, nasubmit ko din naman agad. Meaning po ba nun na lodged na ako sa 491? Hindi na po ba yun dadaan sa SkillSelect or Immi Account?

    Gandang hapon po. Asking for advice po sana.

    Nag lodge po ng 491 visa yung wife ko noong July 7, 2022, waiting for GRANT.

    Tapos, kanina naman naka-receive ako ng 189 invitation.

    Plan ko po maglodge ng 189, ano po kaya ang mangyayari in case na maunang ma-GRANT yung 491 visa ni misis? affected kaya yung pag grant ng 189 visa ko?

    Salamat po.

    lodge both kung kaya. if 491 is granted first, i heard from a reputable agent that the most beneficial will apply if 189 will be granted after. pero kung nauna 189, withdraw the 491 lodgment para sure.

    Hi. Thank you for your insights, very much appreciated. We called AU immigration several times din po to get their advice. And yes, they said we can lodge 189 and keep both visa applications running at the same time and whichever is granted last will take effect.

    Gumamit po ba kayo ng same email to apply both visa? Kasi when we tried our 189 ayaw mag proceed kasi may ongoing pa daw kaming visa application which is 491 nga. And withdraw daw muna yung 491 bago makapag lodge ng 189.

    Hi. Yung 491 namin ay kay Misis na application. Yung 189 naman ay sa akin, so magkaiba po talaga yung email namin. Nung nag-fill out ako para sa 189 visa lodging namin, may nag prompt din na may pending appplication pa nga daw kami/ako, tapos need nga daw i-withdraw, pero naka proceed naman po ako. As of now, nakalodge yung both visa namin.

    Good afternoon, ganu katagal bago maaprove ung withdrawal ng 491 visa application? Plano sana namin iwithdraw ung 491 visa lodge at mg lodge ng 189 visa.

    may naka chat din ako sa fb group na na further assessment parin status ng 491 nya pero granted na ang kanyang 189 hehe.. better lodge it asap bago pa ma grant ang 491. thats what i did.

    Question po, pwede pa ma refused yung visa 491 kung nag request ka ng refund? Ganito po kasi yung situation namin, nainvite kami ng 189. Plan to apply for 189 pero bago yan triny muna namin mag request ng refund for visa 491 pero hindi namin winithdraw yung 491 visa application. Halimbawa po kayang ma refused yung refund, automatic cancel na din po ba yung 491 visa application namin?

    1. No refund sa 491 pagnalodge na up to visa grant.
    2. Ang gagawin niyo kung gusto niyo mag189, withdraw application, the apply 189, pay ulit ng
      fee 4,240 aud + .014*(4,240)(Mastercard/Visa Card). Baka kasi magrant ang 491 bago 189. Kaya better withdraw.
    3. Kung naapprove na ang 491 application mo, hindi mo na pwedeng iapply ang 189. So dapat magdecide. If may extra money, go for 189.
    4. If you decide to go for 491, ang difference lang magbabayad ka ng visa fee pagkatapos ng 3 years for 191 visa amounting to $385 aud for main applicant + $195 aud for each adult. Stay for 1 year and apply ka ng citizen kasabay mo na ang mga 189 and 190.

    So kung 491 withdraw and apply 189, assuming magisa ka lang ha.

    Ito ang gastos mo (4,240 * 2)+ (0.014 * 4,240 x 2) = 8,598.72 aud

    if Go for 491, then apply ka ng 191 for 1 year.

    Nilagay ko lang link kasi wala pa sa DHA, most likely nauuna ang registered migration agencies na makakuha ng details sa DHA bago nila ipost sa official website. Pero siyempre hintayin nating ang official coming from DHA. Since malapit na ang November 2022, possible na yan ang lalabas.

    Hello,

    Curious po ako, mga gano katagal ang hinintay nio from lodging your visa application to approval / granting of visa?

    I submitted on 11 Oct, with de facto partner, Subclass 190 for VIC

    Someone from FB posted their 190 visa grant after almost 2 months of waiting. But mostly 3months may movement na based sa mga post nila this year 2022. After 3months, either they received an s56 (request for add'l requirement) or a direct visa grant already. Sana nga meron na in 3 months time. For 189 naman, mostly 1.5months to 2months especially nasa medical field. Again, this is what I saw from FB posts and not my personal experience. But it's best is to wait based on the posted timeline sa immi which is minimum of 3months and max of 11 months for 190.

    Gandang hapon po. Asking for advice po sana.

    Nag lodge po ng 491 visa yung wife ko noong July 7, 2022, waiting for GRANT.

    Tapos, kanina naman naka-receive ako ng 189 invitation.

    Plan ko po maglodge ng 189, ano po kaya ang mangyayari in case na maunang ma-GRANT yung 491 visa ni misis? affected kaya yung pag grant ng 189 visa ko?

    Salamat po.

    lodge both kung kaya. if 491 is granted first, i heard from a reputable agent that the most beneficial will apply if 189 will be granted after. pero kung nauna 189, withdraw the 491 lodgment para sure.

    Hi. Thank you for your insights, very much appreciated. We called AU immigration several times din po to get their advice. And yes, they said we can lodge 189 and keep both visa applications running at the same time and whichever is granted last will take effect.

    Gumamit po ba kayo ng same email to apply both visa? Kasi when we tried our 189 ayaw mag proceed kasi may ongoing pa daw kaming visa application which is 491 nga. And withdraw daw muna yung 491 bago makapag lodge ng 189.

    Hi. Yung 491 namin ay kay Misis na application. Yung 189 naman ay sa akin, so magkaiba po talaga yung email namin. Nung nag-fill out ako para sa 189 visa lodging namin, may nag prompt din na may pending appplication pa nga daw kami/ako, tapos need nga daw i-withdraw, pero naka proceed naman po ako. As of now, nakalodge yung both visa namin.

    Good afternoon, ganu katagal bago maaprove ung withdrawal ng 491 visa application? Plano sana namin iwithdraw ung 491 visa lodge at mg lodge ng 189 visa.

    may naka chat din ako sa fb group na na further assessment parin status ng 491 nya pero granted na ang kanyang 189 hehe.. better lodge it asap bago pa ma grant ang 491. thats what i did.

    Question po, pwede pa ma refused yung visa 491 kung nag request ka ng refund? Ganito po kasi yung situation namin, nainvite kami ng 189. Plan to apply for 189 pero bago yan triny muna namin mag request ng refund for visa 491 pero hindi namin winithdraw yung 491 visa application. Halimbawa po kayang ma refused yung refund, automatic cancel na din po ba yung 491 visa application namin?

    1. No refund sa 491 pagnalodge na up to visa grant.
    2. Ang gagawin niyo kung gusto niyo mag189, withdraw application, the apply 189, pay ulit ng
      fee 4,240 aud + .014*(4,240)(Mastercard/Visa Card). Baka kasi magrant ang 491 bago 189. Kaya better withdraw.
    3. Kung naapprove na ang 491 application mo, hindi mo na pwedeng iapply ang 189. So dapat magdecide. If may extra money, go for 189.
    4. If you decide to go for 491, ang difference lang magbabayad ka ng visa fee pagkatapos ng 3 years for 191 visa amounting to $385 aud for main applicant + $195 aud for each adult. Stay for 1 year and apply ka ng citizen kasabay mo na ang mga 189 and 190.
      https://www.ozzievisa.com/skilled-regional-subclass-191-visa/
      *385 aud s subject to annual increase per financial year.

    So kung 491 withdraw and apply 189, assuming magisa ka lang ha.

    Ito ang gastos mo (4,240 * 2)+ (0.014 * 4,240 x 2) = 8,598.72 aud

    if Go for 491, then apply ka ng 191 for 1 year.
    (4,240 + 385) + 0.014(4,240 + 385) = 4,689.75 aud

    Thank you Sir for your detailed explanation. Family of 4 po kami Sir so nagbayad na po kami ng 8k plus, regardless we are now on the process of lodging visa 189. Tanong ko lang po, pwede pa naman magamit ulit yung medicals namin Sir noh and biometrics? Thank you

    Nag lodge po ng 491 visa yung wife ko noong July 7, 2022, waiting for GRANT.

    Tapos, kanina naman naka-receive ako ng 189 invitation.

    Plan ko po maglodge ng 189, ano po kaya ang mangyayari in case na maunang ma-GRANT yung 491 visa ni misis? affected kaya yung pag grant ng 189 visa ko?

    Salamat po.

    lodge both kung kaya. if 491 is granted first, i heard from a reputable agent that the most beneficial will apply if 189 will be granted after. pero kung nauna 189, withdraw the 491 lodgment para sure.

    Hi. Thank you for your insights, very much appreciated. We called AU immigration several times din po to get their advice. And yes, they said we can lodge 189 and keep both visa applications running at the same time and whichever is granted last will take effect.

    Gumamit po ba kayo ng same email to apply both visa? Kasi when we tried our 189 ayaw mag proceed kasi may ongoing pa daw kaming visa application which is 491 nga. And withdraw daw muna yung 491 bago makapag lodge ng 189.

    Hi. Yung 491 namin ay kay Misis na application. Yung 189 naman ay sa akin, so magkaiba po talaga yung email namin. Nung nag-fill out ako para sa 189 visa lodging namin, may nag prompt din na may pending appplication pa nga daw kami/ako, tapos need nga daw i-withdraw, pero naka proceed naman po ako. As of now, nakalodge yung both visa namin.

    Good afternoon, ganu katagal bago maaprove ung withdrawal ng 491 visa application? Plano sana namin iwithdraw ung 491 visa lodge at mg lodge ng 189 visa.

    may naka chat din ako sa fb group na na further assessment parin status ng 491 nya pero granted na ang kanyang 189 hehe.. better lodge it asap bago pa ma grant ang 491. thats what i did.

    Question po, pwede pa ma refused yung visa 491 kung nag request ka ng refund? Ganito po kasi yung situation namin, nainvite kami ng 189. Plan to apply for 189 pero bago yan triny muna namin mag request ng refund for visa 491 pero hindi namin winithdraw yung 491 visa application. Halimbawa po kayang ma refused yung refund, automatic cancel na din po ba yung 491 visa application namin?

    1. No refund sa 491 pagnalodge na up to visa grant.
    2. Ang gagawin niyo kung gusto niyo mag189, withdraw application, the apply 189, pay ulit ng
      fee 4,240 aud + .014*(4,240)(Mastercard/Visa Card). Baka kasi magrant ang 491 bago 189. Kaya better withdraw.
    3. Kung naapprove na ang 491 application mo, hindi mo na pwedeng iapply ang 189. So dapat magdecide. If may extra money, go for 189.
    4. If you decide to go for 491, ang difference lang magbabayad ka ng visa fee pagkatapos ng 3 years for 191 visa amounting to $385 aud for main applicant + $195 aud for each adult. Stay for 1 year and apply ka ng citizen kasabay mo na ang mga 189 and 190.
      https://www.ozzievisa.com/skilled-regional-subclass-191-visa/
      *385 aud s subject to annual increase per financial year.

    So kung 491 withdraw and apply 189, assuming magisa ka lang ha.

    Ito ang gastos mo (4,240 * 2)+ (0.014 * 4,240 x 2) = 8,598.72 aud

    if Go for 491, then apply ka ng 191 for 1 year.
    (4,240 + 385) + 0.014(4,240 + 385) = 4,689.75 aud

    Thank you Sir for your detailed explanation. Family of 4 po kami Sir so nagbayad na po kami ng 8k plus, regardless we are now on the process of lodging visa 189. Tanong ko lang po, pwede pa naman magamit ulit yung medicals namin Sir noh and biometrics? Thank you

    Same ang medicals and biometrics. Kasi nagtanong ako sa Nationwide Baguio, same pala ang medicals ng 491, 189, and 190. Upload ulit hehe. Copy paste hehe.

    Good afternoon, ganu katagal bago maaprove ung withdrawal ng 491 visa application? Plano sana namin iwithdraw ung 491 visa lodge at mg lodge ng 189 visa.

    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.

    @ChiliGarlicSauce @aev3rd , hello po. Received an ITA from WA for 491 last October 22, 2022. Dun sa email, merong link na Start My Application and niredirect ako sa WA Migration website. Natapos ko naman po magfill-out and mag-attach ng docs, nasubmit ko din naman agad. Meaning po ba nun na lodged na ako sa 491? Hindi na po ba yun dadaan sa SkillSelect or Immi Account?

    Ang alam ko po dito ay pre-invitation po ang natanggap niyo from WA. Need po muna ma approved ni WA ang application for state nomination bago kayo makapag lodge ng visa application sa Immi account.

    @jonananak, Nagcheck din po kasi ako sa immi account, hindi po available sa apply visa yung 491. Ang meron lang po ay yung 491 subsequent entry.

    Kailangan niyo po muna ma approve sa WA at may babayarn kayo doon na minimum amount, as for us nagbayad kami ng 800 aus sa NSW.After that pag na approve kayo tsaka palang kayo makakatanggap ng email from immigration to apply visa.

    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.

    @ChiliGarlicSauce @aev3rd , hello po. Received an ITA from WA for 491 last October 22, 2022. Dun sa email, merong link na Start My Application and niredirect ako sa WA Migration website. Natapos ko naman po magfill-out and mag-attach ng docs, nasubmit ko din naman agad. Meaning po ba nun na lodged na ako sa 491? Hindi na po ba yun dadaan sa SkillSelect or Immi Account?

    Ang alam ko po dito ay pre-invitation po ang natanggap niyo from WA. Need po muna ma approved ni WA ang application for state nomination bago kayo makapag lodge ng visa application sa Immi account.

    @jonananak, Nagcheck din po kasi ako sa immi account, hindi po available sa apply visa yung 491. Ang meron lang po ay yung 491 subsequent entry.

    Kailangan niyo po muna ma approve sa WA at may babayarn kayo doon na minimum amount, as for us nagbayad kami ng 800 aus sa NSW.After that pag na approve kayo tsaka palang kayo makakatanggap ng email from immigration to apply visa.

    @jonananak , salamat po.
