Subclass 491 as a low-points pathway to an invitation has rescued many applicants — both purely offshore and onshore candidates who would rather not chase a higher score. Processing has recently accelerated, catching up with Subclass 189 and 190: many applicants invited late last year or early this year were granted in roughly six months.
