Hi. I am teaching 11-14 graders as Lecturer in a college in Pakistan. I am confused about my skill that whether I am more relevant to secondary school teacher or university lecturer?
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 , I received an invitation few days ago for state nomination from Western Australia for my EOI placed in June 2021. Currently I’m in Australia on TSS482 working under an employer . Can I proceed with 491 state invitation or not ? How long does it take if it get granted ? Thanks in advance
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. Please stay tuned 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 Mary, Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, we cannot tell anything about the processing for individual application. We hope that you will get it granted soon Thanks WVL
Hi there! Thank you for watching the video. The process usually takes 6 months for 75% of all the visas application, and 8 months for 90% of all the visa applications.
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 Chris, I would like to ask if I can apply for 491 visa while i have only 50 points of my own after calculating points of age, qualification... ? Will 15 points of regional area be added to make me eligible for applying to visa ?
for 491 nomination, you may be received 15 points. We highly recommend you book an appointment for points calculation and where you should go for Australian PR. Please book an appointment here:www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html Thanks Chris
Hi, Thanks for watching! If the 15 points are not included in the 55 points, you can add it for the 491 visa.

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,
Can you please reply above query same for me also
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 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 ,
I received an invitation few days ago for state nomination from Western Australia for my EOI placed in June 2021. Currently I’m in Australia on TSS482 working under an employer . Can I proceed with 491 state invitation or not ? How long does it take if it get granted ?
Thanks in advance
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.
Please stay tuned
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 Mary,
Thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately, we cannot tell anything about the processing for individual application.
We hope that you will get it granted soon

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

Inquiring for my sister-in-law. She is 44 yes old. Just completed cert 3 in commercial cookery with Ausphin International Institute Philippines- AQF Australia last September 2022. We live in regional nsw, and my sister in law lives in the Philippines. We need help how are we going to help jer come under visa subclass 491. Thank you
HI Pebblez,
That would be difficult to get your sister a skilled visa because she is 44 years old and the age cap is 45.
She need to work as a cook and then get skill assessment. That could take minimum 12 months which I think she will be over 45 at the time of completion.
Thanks and hope it helps
