Morning, just a quick update request. I am aware from a previous comment by Mims that her application took 6 weeks after the CO received all the docs to grant. Has anyone else who submitted their application in Jan 16 received a grant or an update on processing times? We have our medicals booked for 5th March, Police checks submitted and form 80 nearly completed. Also I am aware that in previous years the 189 visa quota was full by about now and the remaining 189 visa were delayed until July when the clock was re set. Does anyone know if we are close to the 189 quota this year?

Hi everybody. Just an update that we have obtained our grants on 25/2/16. We're over the moon and so looking forward to the big move. Timeline of our application is as described in my signature. Here's hoping everybody a swift and successful response from DIBP. Trust in the hope and hang in there, guys! :arghh:

Congrats!

Hi everbody.

I lodged my 189 Visa application on 6 Jan 2016. GSM Adelaide contacted me for more documents (spouse's Form 80, medical checks for the family, Singapore PCC and AFP Clearance), all of which have been uploaded as of 4 Feb 2016. No updates thus far. A check on the website shows that the earliest allocation for 189/190/489 Visas is currently 2 Jan 2016. I reckon it'll be at least another week or two before I get a chance to be considered. Praying hard for a favorable and swift response from them.

Cheers,

Dates aren't finalised yet, but I suspect that it will be 18th December & 4th January.

 

With 70 points you'd be practically guaranteed an invitation on the next available round following submission of your EOI.

Awesome. Thanks Captain. Have a great weekend! :wink:

Hi Captain.

Thanks for your numerous posts on this forum. I have benefitted much from your input.

Please advise on when I would most likely be receiving an invitation if I were to submit my EOI in the 2nd window in Dec or the 1st window in Jan. By the way, what do you reckon would be the date for the 2nd window in Dec and the 1st window in Jan? I turn 40 end of Jan 2016, and would hope to be invited before that happens, failing which I would lose 10 points being bumped up into the next age bracket. Am delaying my EOI submission in the hope that I receive my PR grant only after Feb 2016 (preferably even Mar/Apr) as our planned entry into OZ would only be in Feb 2017.

My details as follows:

ANZCode: 241411 (Secondary School Teacher)

Points: 70 (subclass 189)

Thanks Captain.
