Hi, Good to see someone create a post of this. I received invitation for 189 on 28th Dec and lodged on 1/12 as well. Onshore 60pts. All we can do is wait. I hope it does not take too long for CO allocation. Finger crossed!

I still go for WHV option. I am asking cuz my friend is in the same situation and she might go for student visa option. That's why I am asking: )

So in this situation, I can choose to: 1) continue on the course till 189 granted, or 2) leave Aus n wait for the decision to be made, right?

Thanks guys! Just curious - if I applied for course in Australia in order to get a student visa, and withdraw the course after I applied visa 189 onshore. Student visa will be cancelled and does BVA over ride it? Is it more risky on applying permanent residency by doing this way?

Do you think it is gonna to be an issue on applying 417 after 485 expires? Wouldn't be a reason to refuse 1st 417 overseas application, right?

I think I might go for WHV. I just hope there would not be any problems on applying WHV overseas. Does anyone know about evidence of funds? Can I provide bank statement from Aus account? Or does it have to be an overseas account statement with AUD currency?

In fact, what would you do if u r in this situation? 1) Leave Aus and apply 417 overseas, then lodge 189 EOI overseas. And come back aus to work in couple months. or 2) get a student visa to extend length of stay and lodge 189 EOI onshore.

other than evidence of fund and medical, will there be other issues might affect 1st 417 overseas application, which might lead to refusal? I will get another 5 points in November from age field, which would reach the score of 60. I am applying WHV 417 right after I return to my country after current TR expires. What I concerned is if I held 1st WHV 417 (before entering Aus) and received 189 invitation overseas (or accepting it), will there be any effects on both entering Aus with 417 and 189 application?

couple more questions, just wanna double check - lodged EOI or applied 189 overseas (means accepted the invitation) does not affect on entering Australia with WHV 417 and stay until 189 granted? Plus, past TR holder does not affect the application of 1st WHV 417 (overseas)?

I see ur point~ If I am waiting for 189 to be granted, am I allowed to enter Aus with WHV 417? Once you are granted with 189, does it overwrite WHV 417 or hold WHV till it expires? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply~ That's what I am thinking as well. I am thinking to apply WHV in my country. However, I heard that you are not on any kind of visas if you have lodged 189 EOI. You will get bridging when you upload all documents after received all documents. What I planned is leave Aus on the date of current visa expires. Applied for WHV 417 in my country but also lodged 189 EOI once I have reached 60 points. if I received invitation and not accepting it until I return to Aus with WHV 417, will there be a problem? Will I get bridging visa and overwrite WHV 417?

Hi all, I wanna know are you allow to apply for WHV 417 if you have applied EOI for 189? Does it matter to enter Aus with WHV 417 while you got 189 invitation? Will they stop you from entering Aus in above situation? Thank you!

Hi all, I am on visa 485 and expires on next month. I will have achieve 60 points in end of November and planning to apply 189 EOI offshore. Is it possible for me to return Aus on WHV 417 (I am eligible to apply for it) after received 189 invitation offshore? So I will be able to upload all documents of 189 in Aus as onshore applicant. Does it affect my 189 application at all? Once I have bridging visa, will it overwrite the WHV 417 automatically? Thank you!
