491 grant — THE GOLDEN EMAIL HAS ARRIVED! Yeeeew! DETAILS: Type of visa — 491, state nomination State — ACT Occupation — 232411, graphic designer Location — offshore (the Netherlands) ROI ACT — 10 July 2023 EOI ACT — 24 July 2023 Nomination — 03 August 2023 Invitation — 28 August 2023 Lodgement — 14 September 2023 Medicals & Police Clearance — 11 January 2024 2nd Medicals & Police Check — 12 February 2024 (we proactively renewed and uploaded new documents so our case would be decision ready) Grant date — 21 March 2025 We had a migration agent who helped us and applied for us.

Canberra Matrix points — 55 points Regular points for 491 — 75+15 = 90 points Age — 40 years now, 38 years when we applied PTE — superior score (4 x 90) Partner included, he has no skills assessment but competent english

Some sidenotes: I did have a NAATI qualification but did not include that in our very last EOI as points were about to expire and I was not willing to take that risk (as you have to justify your claimed points) Don’t be fooled, we have been building towards this return to Australia from 2018, when i had zero days work experience as a graphic designer. But I landed a job and from there we went. We have been trying to get invited since 2019, after I had my job for 1 year and we were able to get a skills assessment, finally. Patience was tested but HERE WE ARE! 2 x skills assessment (1 fast tracked), due to expiration. In total 2 x IELTS and 3 x PTE for desired score, due to expiration. Partner also 1 x IELTS and 1 x PTE, due to expiration. 2 x Medicals and 2 x Police check, due to expiration. 1 x NAATI, did not renew it. 🙂 So super happy our day has come!
