I did my application by myself and whole process took 1 year and 2 months. However my case was pretty straight forward in my opinion Sent from Tapatalk

For 189 visa U need 6 in each category Sent from Tapatalk

I was waiting twice around 6 weeks after docs submittal to hear from CO again Sent from Tapatalk

Same advice. In the form 80 or 1221 you will be asked the same, so better to have consistency Sent from Tapatalk

Finally I got my grant today; EOI: 14 August EOI inv: 22 October 2015 Visa lodged: 23 October 2015; all docs upload including PCC & medicals till 5 November CO contact: 12 November 2015; request for forms 80 & 1221 CO contact 2: 8 January 2016, request for IELTC results of my spouse (provided certificates were not enough); uploaded om 5 Feb Visa grant: 1 March 2016 Last date of entry: 11 November 2016

An applicant has to collect all necessary documents. Agent submits them only. Filling all forms requested by immi are also easy. In my case was forms 1221 and 80. If the case is straight forward I don't see a point to hire an agent. Sent from Tapatalk

EOI and all other formalities are easy to follow in my opinion. You don't need an agent Sent from Tapatalk

I submitted letter of service, job description and annual tax report Sent from Tapatalk

Ths MaggieMay24. I found same info already Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been asked the same. Is this fee -4885- total amount you paid for your wife or it is additional second installment only ? I already paid 1800AUD for her when I lodged my application

My docs are approved. wow Only one thing is pending. I've been asked to pay second instalment of the Visa Application Charge for my spouse. What's the amount if I already paid 1800 $ for her. Is it another 1800? Next IELTC exam in my area is available on 27 Jan so I am considering to pay requested charges and get our visas asap

I lodged my visa on 26 October, and got CO on 12 November, so also reasonable time. CO asked for 80 and 1221 forms. Submitted on 15 Nov. Let's see how it will go now.

By looking into last four rounds: 3 August (last invitee 9 July) 7 September (last invitee 27 July) 9 October (last invitee 27 July, no progress due to obviously huge backlog of 65+ applicants) 23 October (last invitee approx. 15 August). It looks like situation came to normal peace. you shall be on the threshold for December 1st round or you will get it just before Xmass .

I just notice that I have made mistake with my announcement. I have submitted my EOI on 14 AUGUST not september. I really apologize for any confusion it caused. Thanks CaptainC for bringing this up.
