Case Study:
From Visa Ineligibility to a 491 Visa
A Pharmacist's Pathway to PR

When our client, a retail pharmacist based in Queensland, reached out to us in 2021, he was facing a major setback. After discovering he was ineligible for the Subclass 485 visa, he feared he would have to leave Australia permanently.

Determined to find a solution, he sought professional guidance from Nationwide Migration and Education — and began a new journey that would eventually lead to a 491 visa grant and a future opportunity for permanent residency.

What They Tried Before Working With Us

  • Attempted to apply for a 485 visa but was found ineligible

  • Had no clear backup plan or professional guidance

  • Faced the possibility of leaving Australia with no secure pathway forward

How We Helped

  • Our Registered Migration Agent, identified the 408 COVID-19 visa as a temporary solution

  • Lodged a successful 408 visa application, granted on 11 September 2021

  • Assisted in reapplying for the 408 visa in 2022, with a new grant on 17 November 2022

  • Strategically prepared and lodged his Skilled Work Regional (Subclass 491) visa on 22 March 2023

  • Secured a 491 visa grant on 31 May 2023, opening a clear pathway to apply for a 191 permanent residency visa in the future

Case Study: 494 Visa Granted in 7 Months for Retail Manager
Even with an S48 Bar

When our client — a retail manager — approached us, he was facing serious challenges. His Subclass 187 visa had been refused, and he was waiting for an AAT hearing date. Due to Section 48 of the Migration Act, most visa pathways were closed to him unless he left Australia — putting his future, and the business that relied on him, at risk.

But with the right strategy and fast action, we helped him secure a Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa — without needing to leave the country — and placed him firmly on the path to permanent residency.

 

What They Tried Before Working With Us

  • Applied for a Subclass 187 visa, which was refused

  • Awaited an AAT hearing without a clear backup plan

  • Limited visa options available due to Section 48 bar, which typically prevents onshore applications

How We Helped

  • Identified eligibility for the Subclass 494 visa under the S48 concession

  • Registered the sponsoring employer as a Standard Business Sponsor

  • Prepared the sponsorship and nomination applications in parallel

  • Ensured Labour Market Testing (LMT) was completed to Home Affairs standards

  • Liaised with the Regional Certifying Body (RCB) to secure endorsement

  • Lodged the Subclass 494 visa before the client's Bridging Visa ceased

  • Both nomination and visa were granted within 7 months

  • Client now holds a 494 visa, remains in Australia, and is on track for permanent residency via the 191 visa in 3 years

Case Study: Turning

a Visa Refusal

into a Pathway to a Brighter Future

When our client first approached us,

he was facing the disappointment of a student visa refusal due to a DIY application. Determined to fight for his future in Australia, he appealed the decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). However, he was unsure about the process and needed professional guidance to strengthen his case.

What They Tried Before Working With Us

  • Applied for a student visa without professional guidance

  • Missed critical documentation, leading to a visa refusal

  • Faced uncertainty and stress while navigating the AAT appeal alone

How We Helped

  • Conducted a full case review and developed a strong strategy for the AAT appeal

  • Provided step-by-step guidance on how to strengthen his case, including continuing studies and gaining employment

  • Ensured all supporting evidence was well-documented, including a strong employer reference

  • Represented his case effectively before the AAT

  • Secured a swift visa grant within just one month after a favorable AAT ruling
