HI Rushi, As long as you meet the requirement of 491 nomination, you can lodge an EOI and state nomination (or sometimes ROI before state nomination) to get an invitation letter to apply for 491 visa. The time that you get the invitation is the key, if it is before the expiry date of a student visa, you can apply for 491 visa straight away and there is no need to apply for 485 visa. Hope this helps. If you would like to seek more advice, please book an appointment here: www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html Thanks Chris

Hello I received an invitation to apply for this visa, I submitted and it is processing nie. It is said initial assessment, the officer didn't ask for more documents. The DHA said it will be prioritizing in skilled visas. But a week I saw changes in the processing time for 491 visa from 12 months or 30! Can it change again to first time or will it process individually if I already applied for old time processing

Hi Chris, I am waiting for my 491 visa grant in SA. Can I get married and notify immigration about the changes in circumstances or would it lead to visa refusal? My partner has a english score and skills assessment before I got invited by the SA.
Hi Rushikesh, If at the time of invitation, your partner has Competent English and a valid positive skill assessment, your EOI points will remain the same if you get married. Technically, your visa can be granted. However, there is a possibility that the CO will assess it further and more documents may be required and delay the process . Hope this helps Thanks Chris

Hi Chris. I have a dilemma that I would like your advice on. I have booked a holiday for 2 weeks at the end of this year, but I'm now considering applying for the 491 visa now (This April 2023). I'm a British citizen, and I am 34 years old. The immigration website states that the processing time for the 491 visa is 17 months to 36 months. However I'm considering applying for the visa now but hoping I can apply for the 417 subclass visa in Jan 2024 when i turn 35 as the processing time is a lot quicker and I'll be able to look for jobs in all states and territories. Do you think I can apply for both visas, or is it best to decide what visa option I should go for after my holiday visit ends in Jan? I look forward to your reply. Thanks
Dude, they have changed the age requirements for working holiday visas 18-35 years (after 1st July 2024). You could potentially get a WHV for a year and extend to 2nd year. Applying for 491 might be easier and cheaper when you are in Australia. Plus, there are other visa options for you. 491 available to 44 years - Once you hit 45 without being sponsored by a regional state you can't get a work path towards permanent residency. You have time and options mate.
Hi Chris.. Very informative video. Once we get a 491 visa, can we work in any regional area or will we be restricted only to state from which we got the invitation from ?
It depends on how severe it is. We need to talk more about that to determine whether it is a problem. please book an appointment here for the best advice: www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html Thanks Chris

Can I do Business on skilled work regional provisional 491 visa
Hi Chris.
I studied my Bachelors in Nigeria. I want to know if my Nigerian University degree will be able to give my points on the 491 visa straight up. Or I will have to do an evaluation. And if I have to, what organisation or body do I use?
Thanks as I await your response
Hi,
A university level may give you some points in the points test. However, it needs to be checked by immigration lawyer for the best result

Hi Nathasha,
You may not need to. Once you got 491 visa, you may work any occupation and remember to fulfill the requirement of income threshold for the PR after 3 years earning that amount.

Hello I received an invitation to apply for this visa, I submitted and it is processing nie. It is said initial assessment, the officer didn't ask for more documents. The DHA said it will be prioritizing in skilled visas. But a week I saw changes in the processing time for 491 visa from 12 months or 30! Can it change again to first time or will it process individually if I already applied for old time processing

Hi Chris,
I am waiting for my 491 visa grant in SA. Can I get married and notify immigration about the changes in circumstances or would it lead to visa refusal? My partner has a english score and skills assessment before I got invited by the SA.
Hi Rushikesh,
If at the time of invitation, your partner has Competent English and a valid positive skill assessment, your EOI points will remain the same if you get married. Technically, your visa can be granted.
However, there is a possibility that the CO will assess it further and more documents may be required and delay the process .
Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi Shimil,
yes you may be able to go ahead with your state nomination even though you are holding a 482 visa. Unfortunately we cannot say how long it will take, it really depends on the DHA.

Hi Chris. I have a dilemma that I would like your advice on.
I have booked a holiday for 2 weeks at the end of this year, but I'm now considering applying for the 491 visa now (This April 2023). I'm a British citizen, and I am 34 years old.
The immigration website states that the processing time for the 491 visa is 17 months to 36 months. However I'm considering applying for the visa now but hoping I can apply for the 417 subclass visa in Jan 2024 when i turn 35 as the processing time is a lot quicker and I'll be able to look for jobs in all states and territories.
Do you think I can apply for both visas, or is it best to decide what visa option I should go for after my holiday visit ends in Jan? I look forward to your reply. Thanks
Dude, they have changed the age requirements for working holiday visas 18-35 years (after 1st July 2024). You could potentially get a WHV for a year and extend to 2nd year. Applying for 491 might be easier and cheaper when you are in Australia. Plus, there are other visa options for you. 491 available to 44 years - Once you hit 45 without being sponsored by a regional state you can't get a work path towards permanent residency. You have time and options mate.
@EarthIntruder9 Thank you for the information mate. I'm so happy they increased the age limit. 😁
Hi Chris..
Very informative video.
Once we get a 491 visa, can we work in any regional area or will we be restricted only to state from which we got the invitation from ?
HI Yasar,
You may be able to work in any regional area of Australia.
