I applied for my 190 visa on Feb 5th and got my grant on 8th March(as women's day gift this year ) I too uploaded all the docs including pcc and meds before CO was allocated. So I did not get any notification for CO allocation and directly got the grant

My friend is about to start the process. He has 10 years and 4 months of experience in IT industry. How many points he will get for work experience? Thanks.

If you occupation cap level is not reached for the program year, you will get invitation right away when a state sponsors you

What about people doing the same in other countries??

Generally we don't go through all the security checks and we get visa within weeks. So I assumed India is low risk country. Anyways thanks for the link

Valid for 5 years. But you have to make your first move within 12 months of your PCC or medicals date whichever is earlier.

fyi, India is low risk country.

It might have wrongly triggered. You may get a valid email for CO allocation. Not in this way.

If you have uploaded all the required documents, you may directly get the grant notice. I got mine so. Check all your documents exept medicals in received status. If not upload them again.

All the best to u too

For assessing authority, it does not matter whether you are main applicant or secondary. It's just skills assessment. Thats all. So you should pay exactly same cost.

http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1119.pdf This is the complete guidance for points based test. There is a self assessment form in 18th page. Do one round of assessment and plan accordingly. 8 band in each component in IELTS will get you 20 points. If you have state sponsorship you will get 5 points for it.

Yes. Colour scan would suffice.

I applied for 190. I got my grant on 5th week. But you cant predict based on others experiences. I know a guy who lodged few days before me got his grant 1 month later from mine.

Yes. When you get your invitation this score doesn't matter. If your case is clear, grant is assured.
