Expected Visa Grant

Onshore Non-Priority
Electrical Engineer lodged Subclass 491 on 07 Jan 2025

About this estimate: Level 1 (priority occupations) and level 2 (onshore non-priority) each use grant samples from their own group.

Levels 3 and 4 (offshore non-priority) use a combined sample set because many past grant profiles do not say whether the person applied alone or with a partner or family. Combining them gives us more data for a stable estimate. Priority levels follow Direction 122.

Direction 122 started on 19 September 2026, so these estimates currently rely on data from before the change. We expect to need 4–6 weeks of data under the new rules, until around the end of October, for estimates to stabilise and reflect the new processing patterns. Treat them as provisional until then.

About me

I came to Australia to pursue for my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. In 2022 I finished my degree and graduated in Dec 2022. I started working in my nominated occupation from Nov 2022 until now. Currently I’m living in Newcastle and it’s been more 6 months I moved from Sydney just to have more chance for 190 or 491 invitation. I lodged my EOI on 25th November 2023.
