@gregormendel- I got a mail that Tasmania RoI is open till 3 June 2026. But the gateway account for ROI is not working and is under maintenance. its showing me this-' Tasmania Skilled visa state nomination process 1. Eligibility Checker' - That eligibility checker is not active and shows under maintenance. Pls clarify this issue
Hi all- Is there any news that NAATI would be discontinued after July 2026? Should i go for it to improve marks or wait for changes ? Also is there any time line yearly or quarterly for the states to open for filing specific RoIs like ACT, victoria etc. which months do they open or is ther any timeline or periodicity for it? Any input are welcome. thanks
Hi everyone, seeking clarification and insights from applicants under ANZSCO 234111 β Agricultural Consultant, especially those applying for subclass 491.
I have been speaking with a few migration consultants in India to understand the current trend for 234111, but I am getting completely different information from different people, and nothing seems consistent.
One consultant says that states are generally not nominating 234111 easily under 491. Another consultant told me that since 2022 there has been almost no movement or invitations for 234111 under subclass 491.
However, while going through this website and timelines, I noticed one applicant with the following NSW 491 timeline:
β’ 03 Dec 2023 β Submitted 491 NSW visa application β’ 07 Oct 2025 β Received s56 Request for Further Information β’ 12 Dec 2025 β 491 NSW Visa Granted
This made me wonder whether 491 invitations are actually happening for 234111 these days, but only in limited numbers, or whether most movement is happening only through 189/190 pathways.
My current base score is 70 points (before state nomination points), and I am trying to understand realistically how competitive this occupation is for 491 in the current scenario.
Would really appreciate inputs from:
- recent invitees,
- people with lodged ROIs/EOIs,
- applicants waiting in the pool,
- or anyone tracking 234111 trends.
Are 491 invitations for 234111 actually happening? Which states are showing movement, if any? Do applicants with lower base scores still have reasonable chances through 491?
Thanks in advance.
I lodged an EOI under ANZSCO 234111 Agricultural Consultant and selected 189, 190 and 491 (State/Territory nominated). My base score is 70.
A consultant told me that 491 is not really possible unless a state first nominates me, because only then the additional 15 points are granted. However, while filing the EOI, SkillSelect itself showed my 491 points as 85 automatically.
So I am confused about how the system actually works. Before nomination, is my EOI already considered in the pool at 85 points for 491 selection? Or does the EOI remain at 70 until a state decides to nominate, after which the 15 points and invitation come together? The consultant says-applicaiton would be lying there in the pool till state or family nominates- else there is no way for getting invitation at all. He says 491 is not practical or possible for me at all. I am totally confused
Would appreciate clarification from people familiar with the process.
