Yeah we noticed that too. Hence we decided to inspect ourselves. There's gotta be a reason why houses are available for a long time in the market. They're either just too old or something's just wrong with it. Sent from my G8142 using Tapatalk

[emoji32] Wow.. I did notice for one of the houses that it looked pretty fantastic on photo but when I Google it up on maps, the house looked really rundown. Now I dunno which is earlier (the pic or Google maps) and we definitely can't take the risk. Anyhow thanks for all the help rendered so far. I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much Pom Queen. Really appreciate your help in asking on my behalf. After much discussion, my hubby has decided to stick to airbnb while we do self inspection when we land. Hope we can secure a hse within a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone. I am trying to secure a rental place around Glen Waverley, Melbourne from offshore and am looking for services to inspect rental places at a budget price. I saw an article on realestate that a couple got their rental place in Melbourne from Brisbane by paying abt abt AUD30 per hse. Do anyone know of such services available in Melbourne?

Hello everyone, I got the grant too!

Thanks Monks. The one who posted this news knew someone inside. Nemesis in a way is right to say that I may have put his or her job in jeopardy. I may have volunteered more information than I should. [emoji31] Nevertheless, I hope those waiting for grant would be happy to hear this news. I'm definitely looking forward to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh dear .. really not my intent to do that. Can moderator modify or delete my post in that case? ~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll dm you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey everyone. Just wanna share some news I got from a chatgrp that I joined from another forum.This info came from someone who works for dibp. "All the backlog will be cleared by maximum oct. DIBP paced up their process in August and they have been given the target to clear all the backlog by end oct irrespective of the time lines given for processing. This is for all visa lodged before 1 July." At least something to look forward to if this is true. Yeay for us!

Yup you're right. I agree as I lost 10 points just from the deduction. Otherwise my EOI could have been picked up way earlier. Nevertheless, I'm just grateful now to be at the last stage of awaiting for the grant albeit the long wait. All the best in your application!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you!! So Sept move it is!

Hi Andana, You will need to wait till the skills assessment results are out before you can confirm how many years are counted towards your points claim. I have 9 years of work experience in my occupation but ACS counted from the 6th year onwards as valid and as such, I could only claim 5 points for work experience. Don't overclaim as there have been a recent visa denial due to overclaim of points. You can get barred from applying as well. All the best

Just my opinion. I'd bank on 189 cos simply, I can go whichever state I want. And as it seems now, 189 is being processed earlier than those on 190.
