Hi There,

I guess the below details might help you!

In our case, we have applied for 190 visas and have already lodged visa application on 11th Dec, 2012.

I will tell you our story:

We had hired an agent, but not the registered one I believe. One day me and my wife decided to start the visa process on our own and not to take help from any agent.

We required 60 points, but just like you we were having 55 points.

Now if you will go to the skill select website and under the visa option 190 go to Points section. In that it is clearly mentioned that you'll get 5 points if state approves your visa sponsorship.

We did the same way and now we have already lodged an application.

If any states requires 60 points and 6.5 IELTS score then you can definitely apply for a visa.

We have applied for South Australia State Sponsorship

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Romil

Hi,

 

Thanks in Advance

 

I thought of Seeking experts advise on my peculiar case...

 

Let me give more clarity about my situation so that you can advise me...

 

I have Submitted my Diploma, work experience and other industry standard certificate(related to my work) to ACS and it got cleared June 2011. I did this to apply along with state sponsorship, Unfortunately the state closed the requirement for the occupation 263111 at the time.

 

When EOI thing was opened i asked my agent to apply along with my Degree (Which i did in correspondence) he agreed and told me my point was just 60 you wont get EOI approval. But November 16, 2012 i got Approval.

 

Now he is telling that you will not get visa as your not meeting the 60 points, His explanation is below

 

 

 

• Diploma 10points, 8 years experience 15points and for my age 30 points, so i will get only 55 Points.
  
• with Degree (correspondence) 15 points, Since its correspondence my experience will be calculated after the completion date, I.e. 5+ years 10 Points and for Age 30 points. so i will get 55 points
  

 

 

Mean while applying the EOI i mentioned about my degree (degree has been verified by vetasses ), Diploma and all my job experience details completion dates and everything.

 

At this stage his advise to me is not to apply for visa, If i apply my application will be refused, Please provide your expert advise...

 

Meanwhile, I wanted to highlight that i have cleared my MBA systems (correspondence )this may be value add for my case...

Hi guys,

 

i got my 190 visa granted today ))))) so god damn happy!!! Hope all goes well with everyone!

Hi Vikram,

Finally got someone from Pune

We have lodged our application in October, but getting a PCC was a pain.

Hope to get some good news soon!

Romil

I am from Pune, We can discuss and catchup before we move....mostly Online

I am from Information tech. background, what about you?

Hello Everyone,

I have a small query regarding the status on DIAC website.

We had lodged our application in October, 2012 and have provided our PCC certificate couple of weeks back medicals were done around 14th Oct, 2012, CO is already assigned.

Whenever, I see the status online it says " In Progress" and under the documents option the status is either Requested or Recommended, but all our documents are submitted.

Does the status remains the same? or do I have to inquire with my CO?

Help is really appreciated!

Regards,

Romil

Hi All,

Me & my wife have lodged visa application for Sub class 190 in Oct.

CO is assigned, medicals are done, PCC is done. In short all the necessary documents are submitted and now just waiting for some answer.

Whenever, we check our status it is showing as "in progress".

Any idea on when to expect answer from them?

Time is a real killer:happy_face_outlaw_s

Hi Colin & Alison,

I have also logged my application in October for 190 subclass and this is what we did;

1) You need to upload all your documents which shows that you are eligible and have sufficient points to apply for a visa.

2) Provide the documents that they require and then wait for C/O to be assigned and than if any additional documents are required then they will ask for it.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Romil

Even I have the same CO.

BTW how was the experience, she seems to be so helpful to us.

Just curious to know.

Hi Naseefoz,

I will tell what we did after applying...

1) We applied on the first week of October

2)We are based in Pune, India so we chose Ruby Hospital which has the facility to send the document over electronically. So after filling the online form we took the printout of that and than we called the Hospital for an appointment. A lady advised us to directly walk-in after 12:00.

It was after all very quick withing one and half me and my wife were done with Medical Exam.

3) After 15 days of lodging a visa application, we had received an email from our case officer that all the documents are received expect PCC.

4) CO has given us 28 days of time to submit our PCC, however we advised them that it would not be possible to get PCC within 28 days and she was ok with it. But she told us to provide us the receipt or any proof which shows that we have applied for PCC.

We are waiting to get our PCC and we will be done with our documents.

I would suggest you to apply for PCC ASAP because it will definitely take sometime and if you would like to know the procedure than let me know and I will guide you.

Hope this is helpful.

Romil

Hi Everyone,

I have uploaded my documents yesterday and waiting for case office to be assigned.

We have uploaded all our documents using the "Attach" button on the top right hand of the corner. Do I have to submit the same documents again which is under each applicant screen?

Also, I have a query on medical checkup that will the case office inform to go through medicals or do i have to do it in advance.

Very much confused with this.

Please help!

Regards,

Romil

Hello Everyone,

I will be uploading my document on this Sunday, but I would require one clarification on documents.

Do I have to submit Certified copies or a notarized copy with Seal will do?

At the time of skill assessment we had given notarized copy of all the documents with a seal.

Please help and let me know at the earliest.

Regards,

Romil

I was lucky to secure an application at about 13-00 AEST and spent about 16 hours after that to upload all documents... So, I managed to upload all documents for me, my wife and our daughter (including PCCs, which I had prepared earlier), when system had been working little better.

 

 

They recommend to wait for query for PCC, but it's also possible to get them in advance and front load them before such a query

Hi Kostya,

Its good to know that you have uploaded all your document after spending 16 hours:biggrin:.

I would be uploading documents on Monday and I would like to know whether do i need to attach scan copies of original document or a certified copies? As i am little confused.

Please help!

Romil

Hi Dejavoo,

I have not yet submitted my application and I will doing it after a week as I am still waiting for few documents.

Got 60 days time to submit so I believe it won't be a problem, but very curious to know further step of action.

'We applied for a 190 visa yesterday. Going to spend some time on Saturday uploading documents, its getting very real now!!'

That's really great to hear... By the do you have any idea about the entire processing time after applying?

Yes i have got state sponsorship approved and have 60 days to apply.

Hi Arabidopsis,

Can you please describe what all documents are needed while applying 190 visa?

I got my EOI invite and SA SS approved.

Thanks,

Bhumika

Hi Guys,

I have got an invitation to apply for a visa sub class 190 in SA.

Now we are preparing to lodge a visa application and everything seems to be in order.

Guys, it would be great if you could tell me the procedure in little details which would definitely help us preparing ourselves.

Once, we get an invitation then what are the chances of refusal? I mean we have all the supporting documents to prove that we have valid 60 points which is required.

Please, some walkthrough will be highly aprpreciated.

Regards,

Romil

Thanks for the update... It's just been 4 weeks, still 4 weeks to go and hopefully I would get some answers.

Hi CrowsAdl,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I have heard these news. But, when I check for the status of my application in their website it shows that keep tracking this page for further updates.

I guess contacting SA immigration would be a nice option.

Hi Guys,

My wife has applied for SA sponsorship through Visa subclass 190 and our documents were received by SA immigration dept on 02 August I believe.

Now in my case, which date they consider for processing 3rd july or 2nd Aug ?

The occupation list is Analyst Programmer and we have manage to get 60 points which I believe is applicable for this visa.

Hello All,

Even my wife applied for SA sponsporship visa and the application was received by them on 2nd Aug, 2012 and now we are waiting for their reply.

Fingers crossed.... Good luck to all who are waiting :smile:

Hello All,

This is my first thread and looking for some genuine answers.

My wife has lodged an EOI for State sponsorship and have also submitted an application on SA website.

Does anyone have an idea on how many days it takes for approval or rejection, as it's been over a month and haven't heard anything about our application. Little mad and worried now. :mad:

We have a valid IELTS score, valid assessment from ACS authority and valid points to get a visa. But still have a doubt if these would satisfy or not.

Hope I'll get few excellent informations on this.

Regards,

Romil
