Dear all!

             I lodged 489 EOI and Orana nomination on 13/July/2018 for Occupation position. Points: 55+10. Any idea how long they will take to approve my nomination? Can I apply for SA 489 nomination as well? Is there any problem if I submitted multiple EOI and nomination? 

 Please advice

Thank u all!

Every state has different requirements and take different time.I got my Queensland nomination approved in a week. The points required for SA 489 nomination is quite high so please check.Yes u can submit multiple EOI. I dont think that should be a problem.

the group is too quite...the processing time increased from 5months to 9 months...all those who got their grants before July were lucky....now its a looooong wait!

another uneventful week I guess....the immigration department is busy clearing the backlog as I dont see any grants after Feb...hope they speed up and bring in some good news....

Well everyone, it's finally happened!!!! VISA GRANTED!!!! IF anyone knows my story I started last January working towards a 189 which was taking forever, caused lots of bad times and a relationship breakdown. Switched to a 489 in February and it's finally happened!!!! Couldn't be happier. Keep your fingers crossed everyone it happens when you least expect it

Hi.. It is South Australia. I got the invitation on 22 / 11 and submitted documents for visa in December, gave credit card details too. According to my agent, the fees will be deducted when my visa process starts. 

r u sure your MA submitted the visa in December...bcoz the Immigration Department doesnt take that long...

Hi there, 

I have submitted all visa docs with visa application in Dec/2017 with credit card details for visa fee deduction( 489 state sponsored visa). Even the visa fees HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN from my card yet. Can anybody pls let me know what is the normal procedure, I want to know whether they deduct money as soon as we submit docs.

Thanks in advance.

 

well i applied in march and the fees was deducted the day i submitted the visa....which state did you apply for? n was it approved ....if yes then when?

just checking if anyone got a recent grant...athose who applied in Feb are getting direct grant in May if no CO contact till then. So now hoping for a direct grant but the wait is frustating....
