    Welcome to our community, Aasheesh! 🙂 I understand how frustrating the waiting period for your Subclass 491 visa can be.

    The processing times for the 491 visa can vary depending on factors such as application volume, security checks, and individual case complexity.

    Since it has been over 18 months (I assume you mean 18 and not 1.8) since you lodged your application, here are some steps you can take:

    1. Check Current Processing Times – Visit the Department of Home Affairs website visa processing times page to see the latest estimated processing times for the 491 visa.

    2. Submit a Visa Enquiry – If your application has exceeded standard processing times, you can submit an enquiry through the ImmiAccount.

    3. Contact the NT Government (if needed) – Since your nomination was from the Northern Territory, you can check with them to see if they have any updates.

    4. Seek Assistance – If your application is significantly delayed without explanation, consider consulting a registered migration agent for advice. We have an agent we can refer you to (they will charge for a call).

    I know the waiting period is stressful, but hopefully, you will receive good news soon.

    Let us know if you have any further questions!

    All the best
