News and Updates

NSW Nomination Rules - Important Clarification: One applicant shared a critical lesson about NSW nomination rules. NSW may only nominate an applicant once. If you accept a NSW 491 nomination, you cannot later be nominated by NSW for a 190 visa, even if you receive a 190 invitation. Applicants should carefully consider their pathway before accepting any NSW nomination.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ 491 VISA GRANTED Onshore 110 pts - Developer Programmer Pre invite - May 2025. Visa launch - 05 dec 2025. S56 - PCC and medical - March 2026. Medical done - May 2026 PCC - Aug 2026 Grant - Sep 22, 2026 Finally, after a long and very unexpected journey, we got our 491 visa grant. โค๏ธ Honestly, this has not been an easy path. I was first selected for NSW 491 because that invitation came before my 190 invitation. Later, I also received a 190 invitation, and I genuinely thought that things were finally going to work out the way we wanted. But because NSW had already nominated me for 491, I later found out that NSW could not nominate me again for 190. That was a very difficult lesson for me. So, for anyone who is currently in a similar situation, please carefully understand the NSW nomination rules before accepting an invitation. NSW may only nominate you once, so think carefully about your options and the pathway you want before making that decision. Donโ€™t assume that receiving a 190 invitation later means you can simply move from a previous NSW 491 nomination to a NSW 190 nomination. For us, life took a completely different direction from what we expected. Today, we finally have our 491 grant, and Iโ€™m grateful for that. But honestly, Iโ€™m not completely happy today( I wanna resign from my current job) There have been so many disappointments, changes and emotional ups and downs throughout this journey. Life is full of surprises. Maybe one day, everything will make sense, and hopefully things will be better. โค๏ธ For everyone still waiting โ€” please donโ€™t give up. Your journey may not go exactly according to your plan, but keep moving forward. 491 GRANTED ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸŽ‰โค๏ธ
