Morestar Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi Guys I am a Mechanical Engineer and i submitted my NT EOI for Visa 491 on the 30th of December 2019 and i have not received anything yet. Is the waiting time still 6 months or it is shorter since this is a new visa? Has anyone from a different field received any invitation from the NT? Thanks.

Toryalis Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I did receive invitation for the 489 (sept) within a week. Have a few friends here in Darwin who applied for 491 but have not received nothing. Do you have the required 6months upfront? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morestar Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thank you for yo reply. I guess i have to be patient like others. My Skillselect EOI expires in June so i will have to redo it if i am not invited by that time. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nomination was quick for u as deadline for end of 489 was approaching. How is job market in mech engineering and is it east to get a job if one relocates with a 489 visa before getting a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okcmiller Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Someone in another forum mentioned that it usually takes 4-5 months for offshore applicants. I lodged mine on December 9, 2019. My status was changed to 'CO Assessment' on 20th January 2020. I am prepared to wait until June to receive an ITA from the NT. 491 processing is from 38 - 41 days, so that, I believe, is good news:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
