Franscesc 0 Posted September 12, 2022 Hi everyone, I had received invitation to apply for 491 NSW visa on June 22, and applied within 2 weeks. Now I've received 190 invitation from Victoria and wondering whether I should stick with 491 or apply in 190 and cancel 491. I've heard from 1 migration agent that 190 grant in Victoria takes much longer around 2 years so I'm a bit confused what should I do. Any help or past experience would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If the OP has applied for the 491 they have already paid the money for that one. The biggest tactical consideration (not necessarily the only one) is that if the 491 is granted, the holder is locked out of being granted a 190 for three years. 1 ____________________________________________________________________ Paul Hand Registered Migration Agent, MARN 1801974 SunCoast Migration Ltd All comments are general in nature and do not constitute legal or migration advice.
