    Thank you for the clarification, nag NO din ako sa lahat ng EOIs we submitted. Yung mga nagcomment kasi sabi YES daw, sana hindi ma mislead ang pinoy na nagtanong sa group. I cannot find the post anymore, para matulungan sana siya.

    And also, another question lang po just to make sure, my husband earned degree in Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. We used the option sa educ history na "bachelor degree in science, business, or technology" is this correct? or shall we use the other option na "bachelor's degree others"?

    Salamat po!! :)

    Wag kayo magpapaniwala masyado sa FB, best to always do your own research kasi usually walang alam mga tao dun. May masabi lang kahit wala naman talaga idea sa AU migration

    Ok na yang pinili nyong option for the bachelors.

    Seconded. Mostly ng nasa fb groups eh ibang lahi na wala talagang alam sa au migration or mga AI bots lang. Nuissance karamihan ng andyan haha minsan parang sinsadya pang mang mislead. Kaya mas okay magtanong dito sa forum kasi so far, for one's best interest naman ang answers.

    And yes, you also need to do your own research. Usually lahat ng tanong dyan sa EOI may explanation or guideline when you hover the "?" icon.

    hello, checking if it's possible po bang makapag apply ng 491 family sponsored visa if my brother ako na 189-PR sa Australia pero not living in regional areas since he's currently in the city. thank you!

    No. May listed suburb regions/post codes na eligible for 491. Ipapaindicate nila yun sa EOI yung postal code.

    here you go URL: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list/regional-postcodes

    as an example screenshot:

    all the best!

    God Bless!

    Question po, and understanding ko po based sa DYOR, if residing un relative sa designated regional areas based sa post code list ng Category 2 and 3, pwede na po applyan, right? salamat po sa sagot!

    Anong state ba currently residing yung sponsor mo sana? Ang 491 kasi, suburbs talaga.
    Di ako makalogin sa skillselect eh. Pero kasi andoon yung comprehensive list ng post codes na eligible for 491. As in pag pinili mo yung state, lalabas dun. So pag wala dun, di pwede.

    I suggest mag draft ka ng EOI. Para maconfirm mo.

    Anong state ba currently residing yung sponsor mo sana? Ang 491 kasi, suburbs talaga.
    Di ako makalogin sa skillselect eh. Pero kasi andoon yung comprehensive list ng post codes na eligible for 491. As in pag pinili mo yung state, lalabas dun. So pag wala dun, di pwede.

    I suggest mag draft ka ng EOI. Para maconfirm mo.

    Yes, I think pwede dapat. Adelaide and Perth for example are capital cities pero considered as Regional Area. Saan ba yung relatives mo?

    6147 po un postcode nya sa WA, then currently handling 189 visa sya.

    Di ako makalogin sa skillselect eh. Pero kasi andoon yung comprehensive list ng post codes na eligible for 491. As in pag pinili mo yung state, lalabas dun. So pag wala dun, di pwede.

    I suggest mag draft ka ng EOI. Para maconfirm mo.

    @mathilde9

    upon entering, oks naman. then kapag naglalagay ako nang iba na di covered nun postcodes, nag-eerror sya. hehe meaning, gora na to!

    I think pasok sya sa Category 2. So pwede dapat. Kasi if maglalagay ka nga ng non-regional postcode mag error sya talaga ng ganito:

    Here's my basis too. Ang alam ko sa WA mas maraming lugar ang classified as regional unlike VIC and NSW may clear na clear ano ang regional at hindi.

    good morning! yes, okay na yan. waiting game na.

    which state/s did you apply?

    Thank you!

    I've only applied po ung 491 sa WA, kasi andun ung relatives ko. I'm thinking of applying for 190 sa other states kasi nabasa ko na if sa WA, need ng contract or employer before entering.

    Although may nabasa naman ako before na some states gusto nila sila lang ung state na you apply in. Kaya napag iisip po ako if try ko ba 190 sa iba. Hehe

    hello, checking if it's possible po bang makapag apply ng 491 family sponsored visa if my brother ako na 189-PR sa Australia pero not living in regional areas since he's currently in the city. thank you!

    No. May listed suburb regions/post codes na eligible for 491. Ipapaindicate nila yun sa EOI yung postal code.

    here you go URL: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list/regional-postcodes

    as an example screenshot:

    all the best!

    God Bless!

    Question po, and understanding ko po based sa DYOR, if residing un relative sa designated regional areas based sa post code list ng Category 2 and 3, pwede na po applyan, right? salamat po sa sagot!

    Yes, I think pwede dapat. Adelaide and Perth for example are capital cities pero considered as Regional Area. Saan ba yung relatives mo?

    6147 po un postcode nya sa WA, then currently handling 189 visa sya.

    6147 postcode as per below screenshot:

    is part of Cities and major regional centres for WA, so unfortunately, di pwede 491 family sponsored for it...

    cheers!

    all the best!

    God Bless!

    pa-correct po, when i clicked the list of postcodes na available and applies to 491, meaning eligible un category 2 and 3 as long as mentioned sya sa list per state.

    unfortunately, i may need to stop commenting about this kinds of stuffs kasi di naman talaga to yung field of expertise ko, so please take my advise with a grain of salt, opinion lang po yung sinabi ko, i'm sorry if that may have confused you...

    when in doubt, its always best to further research, or even, hire an expert for it :)

    all the best!

    God Bless!

    hehe sure sure po! maraming salamat pa rin sa inputs. hopefully doing the right thing 😁 all the best po satin!

    Anong state ba currently residing yung sponsor mo sana? Ang 491 kasi, suburbs talaga.
    Di ako makalogin sa skillselect eh. Pero kasi andoon yung comprehensive list ng post codes na eligible for 491. As in pag pinili mo yung state, lalabas dun. So pag wala dun, di pwede.

    I suggest mag draft ka ng EOI. Para maconfirm mo.

    @mathilde9

    upon entering, oks naman. then kapag naglalagay ako nang iba na di covered nun postcodes, nag-eerror sya. hehe meaning, gora na to!

    I think pasok sya sa Category 2. So pwede dapat. Kasi if maglalagay ka nga ng non-regional postcode mag error sya talaga ng ganito:

    Here's my basis too. Ang alam ko sa WA mas maraming lugar ang classified as regional unlike VIC and NSW may clear na clear ano ang regional at hindi.

    salamat @mathilde9! same nang ginawa ko hehe 🙏 malapit na grants nyo 😁 all the best!

    Hello po, gusto ko lng dn iclarify kng ano b ang tama. Kpg b ang nkalagay s cert (diploma) is Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering ano po ang tama ilagay, bachelor degree (other) or bachelor degree in science? Ang nilagay ko kc Bachelor Degree (other) kc mgkaiba un s bachelor degree in science. Any advice po ng nkpgsubmit ng eoi at nainvite na. Thanks

    And also, another question lang po just to make sure, my husband earned degree in Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. We used the option sa educ history na "bachelor degree in science, business, or technology" is this correct? or shall we use the other option na "bachelor's degree others"?

    Salamat po!! :)

    Wag kayo magpapaniwala masyado sa FB, best to always do your own research kasi usually walang alam mga tao dun. May masabi lang kahit wala naman talaga idea sa AU migration

    Ok na yang pinili nyong option for the bachelors.

    lahat ng nakalista sa designated postcode page is eligible for 491 family. Wag nyo isipin yung category 2 or category 3 pag 491 FS, it's all the same na pag dyan nakatira ang relative, pwede sila magsponsor ng 491 for you.
    Another check na mangyayari dyan is if you enter a postcode in your EOI that is not regional, di magpproceed. So pag nagproceed yan meaning pwede ang postcode.

    The entire state of WA is considered a regional area. I held a 491 Family and my sponsor is my uncle here in WA. Take it from my experience.
