Hi everyone, Congratulations, Simon. Visa granted 9.05 this morning (15/9), one day after Simon so Gordian, it will be your turn very soon. I lodged on 22 March, updated all info on 26 April and I have only 60, Brisbane. Thanks, everyone for keeping me sane. for the last few months I have looked forward to what you guys have to share here instead of checking my email for the news. -

Congratulations to Frenzy, Sunscreen, Rakesh, Ida and Jassi! My application was lodged back in March on shore and like Simon and Gordonia I am still waiting. Guess it may be because my skill is out of the list. 27 grants today and all to those lodged in May except 1 in March and one in April. -

I saw clinical psychologist and thought it must be Donna and it is. Congrats, Donna. -

Hi Simons, I know it is hard but hang in there. The grant may come any day. You have waited such a long time after all. -

Hey Pete, Someone just got a grant for quality assurance today and he lodged on 8th August, offshore to Adelaide. Is that the skill you are after? if yes, that is strange and 'unfair' as you said. -

Great news, Yikes. I was disappointed to see no new grants on today and definitely thrilled to read the good news. -

HI Yikes, what would you like to know? primary or secondary school for kids? how far from the city you would like to go? house prices here have increased by 100 or 200k for the last 5 years in some suburbs and it is such horrible news for us trying to buy the first home. the government provides kind of help for first home buyers though. I mean if you buy something lower than 600 0001, you don't have to pay stamp duty, which could be around 30,000. if up to 740,000 you are entitled to some concession. you guys may be aware of this already but just in case ... -

HI it is the form to check whether you have served in your country's army or not. That means you are processing your application but they may need time to verify the information you provide in the form and it may take quite some time. -

Great news, Paul7. As we are all so fed up with all this wait, perhaps it is good to have something more relaxing. I have been living in Melbourne for nearly 7 years so if anyone goes to Melbourne and would like to chat about school, accommodation, etc. I am happy to help. -

You are welcome Nelly and I have just seen an engineer being asked to update the application with his CV. An engineer was granted with PR today. Since July most of the grants are for offshore applications. This is good news for Yikes and anyone applying offshore. -

Hi Nelly, As far as I know you don't have to start the queue again if you upload your CV but you will have to if the CO asks you to submit further support document. If you update any information that changes your status, for example a higher PTE score that now gives you 70 instead of 60, then you will be lined up behind those lodging before your updating day. -

That is good, Yikes. Hope once they look at your application, it will be quick enough for you to start teaching the new school term here next year. -

Liz Nguyen replied to Nelly's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
All of my friends who got the grants in less than 5 weeks said that we need to lodge a complete application and include all necessary supporting documents (they did not do the health check until the case manager told them to, though). Problems such as wrong details in translated documents or missing contact details of referees means you need to update the information and then start the queue again. Maybe it is a good idea to have a look at all the documents to see if everything is o.k. -

You guys may have already noticed the grant on 3rd August to someone applying offshore and waiting for 376 days. -

An internal auditor lodged on the same day, 22 March and got a direct grant on 11 April. I wonder what category he is in? -

Thanks, Nelly for sharing this. I have been thinking maybe there is something wrong with my application. All of my friends who applied for visa 190 on shore last year and the year before got the grants in 3 to 5 weeks. and I have been waiting since 22nd of March. I hope they would look at those lodged in Jan-March 2017 in August. -

Hi Nelly, Any news of recent PR grants this July? Thanks a lot. -

Hi Jonny, as far as I know, you only need to add the qualifications to the application and EOI will automatically work out the score. Skill assessment is for work experience, not for qualifications. Good luck.
