Sorry to hear that. It is an uncertain and stressful time. The last I heard immigration were taking Covid-19 into consideration and were allowing extensions over the 60 days to apply. I would submit an online enquiry and ask for an extension. What state have you been nominated by?

To my awareness you have a moral obligation to live and work within the state that is sponsoring you for atleast three years. It depends what you are wanting. Most people on 491 are wanting PR by the end of it so if you don't live and work within your sponsored state, you risk being able to stay.

Thank you so much for replying Bob! Everyone on here has been so reassuring I am feeling a lot better about the situation and will definitely be booking with you

Aww thank you I will have a look at pet air properly. That fills me with a bit of reassurance

Hi I am flying my 3 year old chihuahua out to Australia to move with us at the end of the year. I have heard mixed reviews about pet air, and also wondering whether we should even use a pet company! Can anyone give some advice - did you do it yourselves, what company did you use etc. etc. Im very anxious about him flying out and being in quarantine so want the experience to be as less stressful for him as possible. He is so tiny and gets scared easily.

Have you lodged an EOI for the 190?

Ahh thanks for that info Good luck with your Visa!! Exciting times

Hey all Is anyone waiting for state nomination from SA for skilled visa? I checked the processing time yesterday and it is an average of 3 months … don't know how i'm going to keep myself occupied so I don't obsess about it! Also is anyone currently living/known anyone who has moved to SA as a counsellor? Another concern of mine is how hard is it to find work within this occupation in SA. When I am checking to job boards its up and down but have heard stories of 491 via affecting employability
