I see the posts have fairly moved on from the first page I posted in may [emoji44] haha. Just wanted to say that I finally got my grant after 5 months of waiting. Hope to be in Sydney after the new year some time [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Thanks so much! [emoji16] I planning to make the move after Christmas maybe start of February would be good for me but not sure yet. I'm a carpenter by trade, I'm hearing Sydneys booming at the minute so hopefully not to hard to find the work

I believe it plays out differently for different reasons such job occupation and work experience. I only had 55+5 points for Carpenter and got my invite within 5 days. I got the grant after 5 months in total.

I'm extremely happy I have finally got my visa. I first started the process back in February 2015. I got in touch with a company in Melbourne called Australia Here We come as I had heard many good things about them through friends when I was first over in Melbourne back in 2011. I cannot thank them enough for all the hard work they put in to helping me secure my visa. I must also add that for over 7 months of that time I put the visa process on the back burner as other things had come up, but I'm so happy that it's all finally all over and done with. Just want to say thanks to all that helped on this forum and that it made the process so much easier. Cheers!

Hi Nelly, I'm just waiting for my police checks to come back this week hopefully then do my medical next week so il probably not hear much back til after the new tax year I'm guessing at this rate Did you hear anything more on your visa?

Hi Paul, It's hard to say how long it takes.. Sometimes its granted pretty quick as in direct grant or it can take some time on the other hand. I think having all documents ready when applying does speed it up somewhat though. I was guessing around the 4 month mark but I'm seeing other people getting their grant already around 8 weeks. It's very hard to predict I reckon, just depends on how complex each individual case is Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi Paul, Hopefully it's not much longer for you now you have all documents uploaded. Iv had the request for police checks and medicals today and my agent reckons its moving quite quickly. Have you lived in SA before? I lived in Adelaide for year in 2012 on working hoilday visa. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi Nelly, Hopefully it's not to much longer then. My estimated visa grant is middle of August which would be great as Im ready to go now. I'm a carpenter going over to a few mates who say Sydney is booming for construction work which is great to hear as they say it's quite easy to get the work. What do you and your husband work at?

Hi Nelly, I lodged mine on 16th May. I would also love to hear from different people about the big move to Australia. Hoping to make the move Sept time all being well with the visa maybe I'm being little to optimistic as the visas sometimes take a bit longer than that. Where are you hoping to move to? I'm hopefully moving to Sydney on 190 visa. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

So after you put your application for your visa in you have apply for your medicals and police checks, whichever comes back first you will have one year from that date to activate your visa. Hope that clears that up for you Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hey everybody, Iv finally got to the stage for submitting my eoi for 190 NSW. I'm a Carpenter + 55 points. Wondering how long does it take to get picked with my points if at all? Cheers [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Hi I just applied for Eoi for 190 nsw carpenter visa. Would anyone have any estimates on how long it would take to get the visa. I know it seems a bit out there to ask but just wondering ballpark figures here... 6 or 7 months would that be realistic enough?
