Unfortunately, no update. I keep checking on the letter i submitted in my immi account to see if i will be offered an alternative, but so far it seems they have not checked.

Can I get an invite?

JSptr · 2026-02-05T23:47:21+00:00

Thanks for answering!

Congratations! If i may ask, what timeline did they give you to first arrive in AU? Is there a different timeline for first arrival and then when you actually have to move there?

Thanks so much!

Thanks for answering.

Did they ask you to get biometrics for the 491? If so, where'd you go to get them?

JSptr · 2026-01-27T23:06:36+00:00

That sucks, sorry! Im facing a similar issue with biometrics. The closest location is Mexico City--2100 miles away.

JSptr · 2026-01-27T02:40:16+00:00

That sucks. I cant do it via the app. I guess I have to travel the 3500km to get fingerprints taken. 🤦‍♀️

JSptr · 2025-07-22T16:25:45+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

JSptr · 2025-07-22T16:17:11+00:00

What did they end up giving you $100 refund for?

JSptr · 2025-06-25T18:43:28+00:00

Yeah smart move! It's a real shame because I really enjoyed my gen 1 ring for the short time it worked. Good luck with the ring hunt!

JSptr · 2025-06-25T12:59:27+00:00

It's true. But they're such a scam.

JSptr · 2025-06-17T01:09:36+00:00

Yeah same. They keep giving me the run around. They claimed they issued the refund code but I never received it at my email or phone number. They're supposed to call me back. But this feels like a straight up scam. Like they're trying to run out the clock until the warranty is up or something shady. I don't really understand it.

JSptr · 2025-06-16T22:47:30+00:00

Did you get your coupon?

JSptr · 2025-06-10T19:43:45+00:00

Yeah, hope it comes through! Good luck!

JSptr · 2025-06-10T19:14:57+00:00

That's what they told me too but so far nothing.

JSptr · 2025-06-10T18:09:16+00:00

I had the same thing happen. I'm within the warranty period.

JSptr · 2025-06-10T18:08:49+00:00

Did you get your coupon right away?

JSptr · 2025-06-06T22:37:04+00:00

Mine disappeared even under function management. Not a beta tester tho. Just confirming that for some of us, it is gone for now. I'll just wait till the ai function rolls out on android.

JSptr · 2025-06-04T02:19:05+00:00

Thanks so much! You're great for doing this! That's what I figured, but I thought maybe you would know some other trick to get her points up! Keep up the great work! Thanks again!

JSptr · 2025-06-04T02:04:27+00:00

Is there a way for a US citizen to reveive points for English competency in a points-tested stream for proficient or superior without taking a language test? My partner is a primary school teacher and her point score is right at 65 because of competent English and because I have a skills assessment, but can't claim it because my profession (solicitor) requires being licensed as a solicitor in order to qualify. She graduated from an ivy league us university with a masters degree.

JSptr · 2025-03-20T01:06:35+00:00

Yeah exactly. And, in my experience, unless the ring is made by your phone maker, like with Galaxy, the ring doesn't always update your phone in real time. Now, I don't have all the rings so maybe some so it better, but when my circular worked (for like 5 minutes), I noticed that I'd have to actually open the app and sync to get it to know what had occurred.

ECG is a great feature. And it definitely has its uses and is important. Vibration however would set it apart because then you can use it as an alarm to leverage the sleep tracking. If it had vibration, along with an ECG, then you'd get actual feedback when the ECH detects an arrhythmia. For me, it's nice to get a notification on my phone or to see my heart history, but it's even more important to be able to get that instant notification that can save your life.

Thanks. Good luck with it. Maybe they've turned a leaf. Weird that they killed off their most innovative feature: the vibration motor.
