Hello everybody. This is to let everyone know that finally I have been allocated a Case Officer today. They have asked for Form 80 and Indian PCC (already submitted). I have started filling up Form 80 now. Hopefully, all June applicants shall also hear from them soon. Good luck everyone.

You're welcome @Becstar. As far as what I've experienced so far, exact time for getting an invitation can't be known exactly until you actually receive one. I've also completed my Masters from Australia, and after I read your story I was amazed to know that it resembles my story exactly. I was also waiting for my invitation when I was there, but unfortunately didn't receive it before my visa expired. Finally, I received the invitation when I came back home and lodged an offshore application. Always remember an onshore application from Australia will take weeks rather than months (for offshore applications) to get an approval. As far as I know, a person in Australia can overstay their temporary visas by 28 days legally after the expiry date of the visa. However, they are not allowed to lodge an online application during this time, but paper application can still be lodged. Some short stay visas might also exist that you would be able to apply for while you're there. Hence, I suggest you to see a registered immigration lawyer there in Australia who would know the best, and who would be able to find ways for you to stay there for some more time just in case if you don't receive an invitation before your visa expires, and you still want to stay there while lodgement of the visa. All the best for everything.

My invitation took me 3 and a half months. But my occupation had reached its ceiling that's why it took so long. If the occupation hasn't reached its ceiling yet then it shouldn't take that long to receive an invitation. As far as I know, you can check it by matching your points and visa date of effect in the regular invitation rounds.

Hi Bondminh. Glad to hear that you got a CO. May I please ask you from which country have you lodged your application? Was it onshore or offshore? I just wanted to know the timeframe for offshore countries. I have lodged mine from India. Thanks.

This is what I have experienced. Firstly, talking about myself, I have lived in Australia for almost 4 years in order to pursue my Masters Degree. Recently, I came back home (India) as my Temporary Visa was ceasing. Soon after coming home I received invitation to apply for 189 Visa on 25/05/2014. I applied for the Visa on 07/06/2014. I haven't heard from the Case Officer yet. Secondly, on the other hand, I have friends in Australia who have received invitation on the same date as me who have lodged their Visa Applications by the end of May, and have been already granted the Visa. They had been allocated Case Officer within a week after applying. They also did not front load any of the documents. Hence, from this, I have found that Offshore Visa Applications takes more time than Onshore Applications. From what I have read in the other Forums till now, people applying offshore have received grants within 2-3 months. Therefore, at this stage, June applicants are going through the normal assessment process I guess. Moreover, being in a High-Risk or Low-Risk country is also going to impact on the time taken to assess the Application and receiving the Grant.
