Hi, anyone who has recently moved to NSW or QLD and done the whole plumbing licenses/Gap training? I know each state is different but just wondering if anyone has any info for employment. Thank you

My sister and family live north of Brisbane so ideally didn’t want to be too far from them. We also plan on moving October, had our visas too. We will stay with my sister for a few weeks then look at moving to an area. Is it your partners job that’s got the visa? My partner is a plumber so goin to be a pain getting a job and doing all gap training ect!

Hi, sorry to jump in on your post. We are also looking at this area as our visa is for NSW but originally wanted to be in QLD. This would be a big thing for me as well ( although my little boy will be 3 so slightly older ) when do you plan on moving? [emoji2]

190 NSW visa granted yesterday! 17 weeks and 5 days in total! Over the moon!!

Congratulations!! When did you apply? Did you wait for contact for medicals?

Hopefully not too long. Keep us updated

Not yet.. we submitted October 18th and had CO contact 3rd Jan. what about you?

We submitted visa application 18th/19th October, also decided to wait for CO contact. We had contact on the 3rd Jan and have now submitted medicals and police checks. Hopefully you should hear very soon! Xx

Congratulations!! We lodged on 18th October too but didn’t front load. Had contact and everything been submitted they asked for xx

That’s fab news, congratulations.. was your CO contact for medicals and police check? We had contact for those on 3rd jan so hoping won’t be long once we have sent them ( Waugh g on police checks to come) and have medicals on Friday!

Oh no this is ages!! We lodged 19th Oct, had CO contact requesting police checks, medicals and form 80 3rd jan.. did you all front load?

Our invitation to apply was really quick, less than 2 weeks for the initial one then only a couple more weeks after we had invitation to lodge the visa. Lodged 19th Oct and had contact to do medicals and police checks 3rd jan.

Hi, same as is. First CO contact on the 3rd. Which visa are you? Be interesting to see the timeframe for us both now? We have booked medicals and are doing police checks tonight. I have to have for Australia too so hope they come back quick! We are using an agent, as far as I know the medicals get uploaded by the doctor and police checks you will upload when receive them xx

Yes we already filled out form 80 and sent to our agent so it was ready if they requested it and they did. Did you send form 89 with medicals and police check?

We had CO contact on 3/01/18 for medicals and police checks 10 weeks and 6 days after lodging! So happy. Just hope police checks come back in time for the 28 day timeframe as I need an Australian one too!! Have our medicals booked for the 18th jan! [emoji51][emoji119]

Hopefully will be direct grant for you then. Iv done form 80 ready but we decided to wait for others to be requested :)

That’s great news!! 19th Oct lodgement date here so fingers crossed we hear in jan for our medicals and police checks [emoji3]

Sorry to hear you have been waiting so long! We were shocked we had an invite within 10 days. Fingers crossed you hear very soon. I think once you get an invite it’s roughly a 6 week processing time (it was for us anyway) until you get nominated to apply.

We have 65 points by the way with state nomination. What occupation are you? From what I have gathered this plays a big party in the state sponsored visas

Hi, we submitted EOI for NSW on the 13th August. We received invitation to apply for nomination on the 23rd August. We were then nominated to apply for visa on the 2nd October. Visa lodged in the 19th October. We were originally going for 189 but changed to the 190 and all started happening very quickly. We are going to do medicals and police check in jan then hopefully will be a grant soon!

My partner is main applicant, occupation is plumber

Hi, Ours both seem to be very similar timeframes. We submitted visas 19th October for 190 NSW. Just considering doing medicals, police check, form 80 ect before we get contact. Keep us posted :)

Hi, it’s the plumber as the primary applicant. Yes I’m guessing plumbers are in high demand.. just waiting for that go ahead now to submit visa [emoji119] Hope your hear something soon. ?

Hi, Our eoi was submitted 13th August and had an invite to apply by the 23rd August. We applied for nomination a few days later and are now waiting for the nomination to apply for visa. It’s been about 5 weeks. My partner is a plumber with 65 points including state sponsorship.

I thought that was the case. We have 65 points with state sponsorship and my partner is main applicant occupation - plumber. We are using an agent who been very good and thorough :)
