reubs2016

we waited because for personal reasons we are not under pressure to move to Australia straight away and wanted as long as possible between grant and Date of Entry. anyway at this stage all docs are uploaded and just waiting to do out health examinations as there is a delay here for an appointment. we do them 4th July so hopefully Grant before September time

I'm in Ireland and there is only 1 place in Dublin and 1 place in cork for the medicals. cork is a 4+ your drive and with 4 kids just wouldn't be doable. Dublin are booked up. they told me immigration are aware of the backlog. I emailed the letter of confirmation to them in my email explaining the delay so not sure do i press documents submitted or wait until medicals are done. I'm just so glad all the paperwork is completely done now and I never have to fill in another form again eitherway now it's a yes or no!! keeping everything crossed now. you guys must be delighted to be finally there. celebrations tonight for sure. are you guys moving straight away??

not sure were that close behind you. our medicals can't be done until 4th July so way outside the 28day window so will delay us unfortunately. I emailed the email address on our letter requesting documents explaining this but never heard back so panicking about what to do. police clearance is done and form 80 so the medicals are holding us up. so frustrating

that's amazing news congrats justme. what's your date of entry. we got CO contact on 4th June asking for form 80 and medicals, police certs. so hopefully we aren't too far behind you guys. 190 visa submitted 1st March

thanks guys il do that. do i press the information provided button or just email the CO?

who do you contact in regards to extending your time frame to submit medicals or police clearance. can't get an appointment for medicals until 4th July and I only have 28days to submit all requested documents. panicking now. the email at the end of letter requesting documents is adelaide.gsm and I have the name and position number of CO. unsure of what I'm supposed to do

thanks I've sent an email off this morning for a breakdown of modules completed. what's a JP?

any irish electricians out there done this b4.i thought I provided enough evidence but have been asked for copy of trade qualification or transcript. (don't even know what a transcript is) I uploaded craft cert front and back image of the card. a letter from FAS detailing dates of completion of apprenticeship and the national craft certificate itself. what else am I supposed to provide?

CO contact today asking for colour copy of passports, nearly 3months exactly to date of lodge. picture page is black and white on passports so technically they are sent in colour. is there somewhere to explain this. also asked for copy of over seas trade qualification which was provided already not sure why they want it again. form 80 police clearance and medicals

it's the waiting that's a killer. if your December and only heard in mid march we prob won't hear until June time if it's taking 3+ months to request police clearance and medicals. that's all we need to submit too. good luck hopefully you get a grant soon

single payment.

submitted 190 visa application on 1sr march 18, have heard nothing yet!! is this normal? thought we would have heard something by now

We are hoping for a sept approval as we want to go in Nov for a holiday so could activate visas then. Not sure with the processing times up at 9-12months again it's hard to tell. Not so long ago it was 4months

Straight forward enough 2adults and 4kids. We have all lived in oz before so know it's gonna be worth it. we went through down under centre for skills assessment as that was the trickiest part. Submitting the visa was ok however there were definitely times I wish we had somebody to lean on as even now I'm freaked over info and documents. We have invested nearly 10k so far so it's alot of money to not get a visa at the end of it.

190 NSW wonder will there be a diff in our processing times. Was Hoping to hear by April time?? Don't think so now.... just glad to be this far along anyway there were times i didn't think we would get here

Have done it ourselves as we couldn't afford the agent fees on top of visa fees for 6 people and the cost of the skills assessment.

Are u guys 190 or 189?

Submitted 190 visa application on 1st march. All docs uploaded apart from medicals and police clearance. Heard nothing yet!!

55 plus 5 state nomination so 60 altogether

General electrician here. Waiting months for an EOI for 189 to no avail. Lodged 190 EOI for NSW in Nov invited weeks later took 10weeks for approval tho, Lodged visa yesterday. My advise is to go for 190/489 also if possible

Yes that would be correct

Nobody has been invited since before Xmas so I wouldn't be worrying just yet. Also there are no hard n fast rules with invites from NSW they can pretty much invite who they want? It's unfortunate but that's their system and nobody really knows how they choose candidates.

Whatvwoukd you be worried about have u been invited to apply yet. As far as I'm aware NSW haven't invited anybody since 19th Dec.

Also be sure you cannot count your time as an apprentice towards points for experience

Personally I don't think you have been waiting a long time it has only been 6 or 7 months. This time frame is quite common. You can underclaim points but not over claim as far as I'm aware. In this process you have to have patience.....lots of patience
