I got invited again for WA. This time for 190. Problem is my 491 is already approved. Can I still pursue the 190?

Check mo with WA Migration sa Monday ,mukhang may ganyan din na ibang case na naapprove na 491 nila, afaik u can only be nominated once on your name.

Ayun. Hindi na daw pwede. So mga bata ang lesson for today is be patient. Sad.

Hindi mo din naman alam na may 190 pa pla na darating db, malaking hinayang pero 491 is not bad actually. You still have 189 if eligible occupation mo.

Okay lang yan.. tama di mo naman alam eh, talaga grab nalang kung ano mauna.
May 2months ka pa naman to lodge 491 noh? Antay ng 189 baka sakaling meron pa this year haha.

Oo nga po eh. Expected ko din matatagalan yung pag approve ng nomination, kaso ayun napunta sakin yung pinakamabilis din (2 weeks) Dapat pala sinagad ko yung pag hintay sa 28 days. Tsaka, now I know na pwede palang mainvite ka ng magkasunod. Kumbaga wag maliitin ang swerte (in my case di ko din inexpect). Patience lang sa mga ibang naghihintay guys. Labaan!

Sayang, kung hindi ka pala nag 491, baka sa 190 nabunot yung pangalan mo last time. Nabasa ko kasi somewhere kapag parehas ka nag apply 190/491, mas nag p-prevail daw ang 491.

Hindi siguro masama loob ko kung hindi 3 days after ma approve tsaka lumabas yung 190 haha. Sakit. Pero ayun tuloy ko na lang 491 kesa walang hawak. Hehe.

Nabasa ko din ito @CantThinkAnyUserName. Sa mismong website ni WA ko sya nakita, under ng FAQ.

Pero all good naman @Morantevic13. Ang mahalaga nainvite pa din. Yun naman talaga ang goal from the very beginning, either 491 or 190, hence the application to both subclasses. So I think wish granted pa din macoconsider. Goodluck!

Ozdrims · December 16

+1 sa above @cube we have different trajectories pero yung goal is we land in AU on a visa to catch on the dream! at the end iisa naman destination natin pero after nyan it will just be a distant memory! So congrats! many will definitely switch places with you as 491 is not automatically given ,lahat naman dumaan sa butas ng karayom but some maswerte talaga. Less na stress when magiging PR dahil it is only a matter of time @Morantevic13

Morantevic13 · December 16

Thanks guys! Salamat sa mga encouragements. Hopefully makakuha nadin ng invite mga tropa natin dito. Goodluck sa atin. Kung may mapadpad dito sa WA kitakits na din!

I still think it is a great decision. Not everyone will be invited. Not everyone has the opportunity to be invited. And isa lang din naman po ang endgame natin: Citizenship.

Visa is still visa. Tama din po at least you are not on a visa that has a “permanent temporary status”. May PR Pathway, may extra steps nga lang po.

Ako TBH, if nauna dumating ang 491, I will still take it (and I think I was about to be invited na din ng VIC, kasi I received an email about my EOI/ROI during a VIC invitation round, a few days after I withdrawn my EOI because I receved a 189 invite). Take the waiting time as an opportunity po to gather funds, research more about the regional area you will live in (I dunno if Perth is considered regional??), and keep the 189 EOI. Kasi if you have the funds naman you can also apply to it if ma-invite ka po.

At the end of the day, invite is an invite and congratulations pa din po

And so I learned na sa WA pala if 2 (separate) EOIs mo more likely mainvite ka ng 491 muna. Now you will have 28 days to decide if you’ll take it or not and risk the ticket and wait for 190. Since once ma approved na ang isang nomination is wala na.

Unfortunately wala sa 189 yung occupation ko (arch draftsperson). But yeah, invite is an invite so thankful pa din. Mahirap nang walang hawak na next visa while nasa student. Maybe I’ll make an EOI ulit para sa 190 for the next FY.

Grab the 491 for now, it is a good pathway to PR/citizenship later on. You can still submit EOIs for other states, especially NSW and VIC. 85pts is still good for invitation lalo madami pa naman quota ang mga states. Kelangan mo nga lang ng maraming funds, but i think it will be worth it down the line. Tataya ka na lang din sa Au, itodo mo na.
