I’m a nurse and I will update as soon as I here anything.

I submitted everything at the same time. I had already completed my hc and pc. My form 80 was also submitted

Yes but they have not invited anyone with 70 points for a year before this round. That means they will have a years worth of back log of 70 pointers. It could still be a long wait. Good luck though

I’m still waiting. Still no contact

I submitted my 190 visa application for Queensland 4/9/18. Waiting for contact

??

If you google authorised medicals for Australian immigration in the uk it brings up a link to the home office page where there is a list.

Yes there is a list. You have to use authorised ones. Sorry I don’t have a list. My agent give me it but it was November last year when I done mine. I went to the edingburgh clinic. I know there’s one in Manchester too. Are you in the uk?

I have an agent so I just got an email from him letting me know. As far as medical go I got mine done ages ago. I actually submitted my eoi for 189 last year. I tried to get everything sorted ready for my invite (which never came) I therefore had my medicals all ready when I got the invite for 190. My situation and the way I have done things is not the best way to do it but things have worked out for me. Luckily! I subitted my eoi for Queensland as soon as they opened there sponsorship in July so think I may have beat the queue.

I submitted my state nomination for Queensland on a Friday ( can’t remember exact dates. It was a few weeks ago) I got my invite to apply for the visa on the following Monday. I was not expecting it that quick. I completed my application and submitted that 2 weeks later. I’m just waiting for a outcome. Thats was for 190 though.

Fingers crossed for you. I know how your feeling. I thought I would never get an invite but hopefully with your increase in points you will soon ?

I submitted my eoi the beginning of July (can’t remember the exact date) I got invited to submit my nomination 7th August. I submitted the nomination 17th August and invited to apply for my visa 20th August. My visa was submitted 4th September. I’m just waiting for a decision.

I waited about 5-6 weeks for an invite for Queensland on 70 points if that helps ?

Yes it’s the 190. They weren’t open for 190 last year when we were looking. They opened in July in the new financial year. I don’t know how long they will be open for though. Look on Iscah forum. They put updates on there for things all the time I have found it very useful x

I applied for NSW mid June with 65+5 (nurse) I have not received an invite. However Queensland opened there sponsorship. I applied there the beginning of July. Invited for nomination in 5 weeks. Submitted nomination on Friday. Invited to apply for visa Monday. Fingers crossed visa application will be in soon.

I am a nurse with 65 points. My eoi has been in since October 2017 and no invite. I don’t think there is any sign of any movement for anyone on 65 points. I think it’s a very long wait ahead.

Even if I’m only here on holiday?

Thank you for you reply. My concern is working. The criteria for state sponsorship is being off shore (which technically I am as I am only a tourist) or working in Queensland for 6 months. Does the working part not count once I’ve submitted my 190 application or would I then have to work 6 months to proceed?

I am currently in Australia on a tourist visa and plan to be here for near future. I have had eoi for 189 since oct with no luck. I have applied for job sponsorship and I have been lucky enough to get one (not yet applied for the visa yet) however, I have just been invited to apply for 190 for Queensland. The problem here is to meet the criteria I can not work. My question is, can I apply for tss sponsorship visa and 190 at the same time and also, can I then work in Queensland once my 190 visa is submitted? Its all very confusing and don’t want to risk the 190 but could really do with working and getting an income. Thank you for any feedback

Yes. The processing times are after invite.

Me to. I’m so frustrated. Hopefully with the new financial year things will get moving but with my luck probably not ha. Im sure state sponsorship moves quicker if that’s an option for you?

Hi. I’m also a nurse with 65 points. I have had a eoi in since oct 2017 (for 189) I have heard nothing. I have also submitted eoi for 190 for NSW. That has been in a few weeks and again I have heard nothing. I hope that helps (or not as the case may be) sorry ha

I thought there were restrictions. Hope you get sorted soon.

Thank you for that. I have seen that my eoi was in the end of October so was hoping it would be a bit sooner [emoji30]

Was that recent? I've been told Queensland are not sponsoring. Do you have restrictions with that?
