Ok ok, I think it will be more insightful for us hopefuls and sa mga bago sa thread na no one to talk/ask to if meron tayong monthly status if anong state yung nagrelease na no? I don’t know. Maybe anxious or naiinip lang hahaha..
Also personal thought lang, since di ako nag la-lodge YET for 491. Should I ba? (i mean if i can put one egg each basket rather than to put all in one) higher chance si 491 pero if nasa AU ka na and gusto mo na mag PR, babalik ka ulit sa paginvite from 189/190.

If you have no reason to not go for 491, go for it. Unless specific goal mo talaga ay PR, better to maximise your available options if ang aim naman is to get to Australia with a PR pathway and significant rights. On a 491 visa, 191 na yung PR pathway, not 189/190.

Bro, I was thinking also in taking 491, but the big question is if you got 491 visa , will you able to get a job easily in regional area. if not, are you willing to do job not related to your occupation? these are the questions. if the answer is favorable to you then you can opt 491.

note lang din na dapat yung NSW 190 EOI is for 190 lang and walang kasamang ibang states.. yun ang isang criteria para maselect ni NSW yung EOI mo. may nagsasabi sa fb groups na okay lang na magkasama 190 and 189 sa isang EOI, pero i did not risk it and still created separate EOIs for each visa subclass

Add info din po based on my experience, separate EOI for 190 (NSW) and 491 (NSW) and ginawa ko, at iba din ang EOI ko sa ibang states (check my signature). Nainvite po ako ng NSW, nung nag reformat at resubmit ako ng EOI, factor din ang renewal ng vetassess. Hope it helps po.
