Hi there, I have today received my invitation to apply for my 189. I completed the application and was just about to pay when I thought I would just double check I had everything I needed. I have just noticed that when you apply from inside Australia, you are meant to submit character requirements in advance. Does this mean that I can't pay and apply tonight? As I don't yet have my PCC's? Or can I still pay and apply, and upload these as soon as I get them? Any advice about applying from within Australia would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Amanda

Thanks for that! So I need WA clearances also then? I wasn't sure since I've only been here 7 months. I will just apply for them both then. Yes I was surprised myself when the invite came through late last night, I only applied on 20.12.12. I have sat the correct IELTS for Immigration but not for my Skills assessment, so I am sitting the Academic next Saturday. The skills assessment is good to go just waiting on a pass of 7+ on each test . Amanda

Hi there, I have today received an EOI invitation for 189 visa. My family and i have been living in WA for 7 months now on a 457 visa. I know that the CO - in time- will request police clearance checks, but I am unsure if I require Australian checks due to being here 7 months? I am also unsure if my UK checks are still valid as they are 7 months old (we had them done days before we left in May) Thanks in advance for any advice! Amanda
