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

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

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.

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

So do I!

 

My migration agent told the CO that we would pay the fee rather than providing evidence of English when they first contacted us.

 

The fee is 4885 AUD.

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.

So 15 th August 2015 was the last invitation for non- pro data occupation so when can I expect an invitation if my EOI is 29th September

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.
