I think it will be faster too, but the immi website says 6 months. Anyways lets see. I am not in a hurry to get there, planning to be in au sometime mid next year. i guess u have family over in Darwin, hopefully u will spend xmas with them. All the best.

Hang in there... u will get one soon... the IMMI website says 6 months for processing but i hope it will come through by December, the only issue is my pcc, i work in saudi arabia, and its such a hassle to get one here...none of them speak proper english...:ssign8:

Hi Samulv, I guess i dont belong in this thread anymore :cry: and i should join a 489. Anyways...as a wise man once said.. our paths may be different but the destination is the same.... Now enough crap... I just applied for the 489 today... and its gone to the Adelaide team.. dont know which one exactly though... Back to playing the waiting game.

if the occupation is listed on the CSOL then you can apply for a 190. check the state sponsored occupations List for your OHs occupation

Hi, Is there any reasonable (nothing fancy, a shared apartment would be great) accommodation for singles in Darwin? I am considering coming over in dec-jan and i am looking for something short term until i find a permanent place. Thanks Citation

hi Jupiter, where have u reached in your journey so far?

Hi hallfamily, you can also apply for a state sponsored or a family sponsored visa... subclass 190(permanent) and subclass 489 (provisional)

Hi McShadders, Honestly, nobody may be able to give you a straight answer because the migration rules change so often. But I hope you get an answer to your liking.

Hi samulv, thanks, i hope you get your visas asap.. any idea, what is the time limit given to enter AU to validate the visa after its issued? Thanks

Hi fishy, u seem to be in the same position as me with regards to the application. I had mentioned "NO" for the same set of questions and got bumped from a 190 to a 489 few days back.(but not sure if this is the exact reason, i had seen another family get bumped from a 190 to 489 on PIO recently). For employ-ability i had answered "yes". you would need to apply for jobs for based on you skillset and take a copy of the email replies you get. It doesnt have to be a positive job offer. Just show that your making an effort. If you don't find jobs listed for your skillset, then the ones nearest to it will do.

Yeah i have 65 point on the EOI... apparently i don't have strong relations with NT. I am single and i don't have either friends or family in NT... anyways i will go on the 489 and later apply for a PR.

Hi all, My agent informed me today that my 190 application was unsuccessful. However, NT has decided to give me a subclass 489 provisional visa instead. I had signed and sent off the declaration... Not too pleased though.. Oh well!!! beggars cant be choosers...

My bank statements were in english... When i said bank statements... i meant detailed transaction records showing credit and debit history.. this is usually in english.. hope this helps

Are you working some place in the middle east... those guys are infamous for not give pay slips

When i applied with TRA i had the same problem... I had my company admin guy issue me a salary statement letter stating the salaries i had received over the years along with the increments. I had also had them mention that it was company policy to make salary payments through bank transfers. i had attached this letter with the bank statement for the years of my employment and highlighted the specific transfers... The folks at TRA were satisfied with this.

Hi timmy, My agent emailed them as separate files. All pdf docs. i suggest you wait a bit and contact them if you don't get an acknowledgement...In any case they need to send you one.

Hi Timmy...I am not sure how my agent had sent it.. I can find out tmw and let you knw though.

Hi Timmy.. My agent had sent in my application on the 20th and he received the acknowledgment email on the 23rd. So I guess u should have received yours by now. Do u have an agent? I would suggest that you wait until the end of next week otherwise send them another email. regards

hi Aus prince, did u get any acknowledgement as yet... :unsure:

Hi, Does anybody know when does each state/territory update their skills list?:wideeyed: As far as I am aware, NT does it in March , WA on 1st Oct and ACT does it at the end of august each year.

Darwin, I am an AME (323112) and Darwin is the only place with work right now...

Thanks so much

Hi all, I will be applying for NT SS today. Kindly please do update ur timelines to benefit everybody. Thanks

You can update ur EOI any number of times for any reason. However the initial submission date only will be taken into consideration.

hi Samulv, 1 week is definitely shorter than the 30 weeks I have been reading about lol. Please can you tell me under which occupation you have applied? Thanks
