Submitted Visa Application
In December, I thought everything was over. Everything I had worked for over the past eight years seemed to be going down the drain, and I felt like I had no options left. But then I came across my current migration agent, who mentored me throughout this journey, and within four months, I was able to secure an invitation.
All thanks to Allah Almighty. One important takeaway: always make the best of your situation. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. At one point in my life, I would have never been happy with “just” a 491 visa, but after everything I’ve been through, the 491 feels like a blessing. Now, I’m in the queue with others, waiting for the grant and the rest of the visa process.

Based on the lodgement pattern of pending visas in the SmartVisaGuide database,
49% of Subclass 491
visa applicants waiting for a visa as of today have a visa application date earlier than you.
However, your grant will be significantly expedited
due to
Enrolled Nurse being a priority occupation as per Ministerial Direction 105. This is being reflected in
your
Expected Visa Grant dates section above.
