Very informative video 👍. Ma'am we have 85 points. Should we apply for 491 visa ? And after staying in regional area for 3 years can we move to major cities of Sydney etc. ?
Thanks for all the information you share! Very useful and clear. Question: how long do you have to make arrangements and move to regional once the 491 is granted if you're currently living in Sydney?
Hi Ma’am, Thanks again for great video on 491 visa. I’m on 491 visa right now. I'm intended to stay in India for around 81 days. Do I need to update any box on my immi account? Post annual leaves, I'll be working for same Aussie employer from remote India. Thanks in advance.

Hello Ma'am! Thank you for simplifying 491 visa related queries. I am having a 9 years of work experience in Indian Armed Forces and it's been 5 years since I left the job..so can I apply for 491 visa. If yes then how to select which regional State? Please clarify. Thanks
Hi mam, as I applied EOI for darwin in last year Feb month and now the PTE scorecard is going to expire in September 2021. So do u think again I have to do PTE ? As it is going to expire after few months.
Thank you for the information. Do we still need to update the state that nominated our visa if we will be living in another state? For instance, I was granted with 491 under QLDS, and planning to transfer to NSW? Thank you
Hello madam, thanks for this video I always wait for Friday to watch your video. I have a question madam. Let's say for 491 state sponsership visa there is time frame to issue the visa varries between 6 to 9 month time. Why not they started nominations so within the time frame somebody can get visa and after this time border will open he or she can fly, is it make sense or not. Of course I understand this is completely on them wheather they give nominations or not. I am only talking about offshore candidates. Many thanks madam, Bikram.
Valid point, Bikram. However, I see this a bit differently. Australia has to ensure the safety aspect when allowing migrants to move in. While they are struggling with the challenge of getting in migrants essential to boosting their economy they are also watchful of any potential health hazard. Now that the nominations have started to open in a a phased manner what you say should be happening soon enough.
Amazing!! Ma'am how much extra time does one get to leave for Australia after being granted 491 visa. Would the extra time spent here in India after being granted 491 visa, be set off or reduced from 5 years work permit? Is there a time limit in which a person needs to leave India?
@@CAANWINGSConsultants Thankyou Ma'am. But just wanted to confirm that if a person leaves after 10-12 months of visa grant, then this delay wont be deducted from 5 years work permit allowed there right?
