491 Horror for Offshore Non-Priority Applicants
It’s been 25 months since I submitted my 491 visa application [Marketing Specialist - NT] on 11 July 2023. The only update till now? "Received." That’s it.
No communication. No timeline. No accountability.
How long are we expected to wait? This delay affects everything—age limits, career opportunities, family decisions. And yet, those who trusted the system are left in limbo, with zero clarity and fading hope.
If they don’t intend to let people in, at least have the decency to say so—don’t keep applicants hanging endlessly.
Apologies for the tone, but this situation is beyond frustrating now.
I'm waiting for 491 Visa with wife for NT and since July 2023, last update is received and recently I saw below Financial capacity to settle in the NT, will I need to arrange the $50K before moving in?
