Well everyone, it's finally happened!!!! VISA GRANTED!!!! IF anyone knows my story I started last January  2017 working towards a 189 which was taking forever, caused lots of bad times and a relationship breakdown. Switched to a 489 in February 2018 and it's finally been granted!!!! Couldn't be happier. Keep your fingers crossed everyone it happens when you least expect it

Hello,

We finally have got our grant and have a few questions that need clarifications:

We plan to do our first entry and stay there for a week and return back to ADL permanently by the end of the year and would like to know:

- Do we register / apply for TFN during our first visit or once we move permanently?

- What is recommended, to have one joint account for spouse and myself or better to have two separate accounts? (keeping in mind individual credit score)

- What documents (hard copies)do you think we should carry with us that can be useful?

- What should we cover / do in our first visit, any tips or do's and dont's ?

 

Thank you,

Congrats dear !! 

It’s really upto u when u want to apply tfn. It comes to u in mail after 15 days or more 

Again it’s your own decision. How u want it your bank account 

visa grant ,passport ,drivers license 

try to loook around as it will be your home country .. 

now I have one question plz if u count answer !! 

Do we lodge eoi and nomination for 489 together ???

I can't even remember the last motor mechanic for NSW I did, so I would only be guessing.

Your chances may increase post 1 July, when the new Immigration program year commences.

 

Thank you Raul !!

Hey alam , 
in our case , they did call our office asking few documents like pay slips .. but surprisingly we got approval same day for stage 1 pathway without even sending any documents .. 
there are 2 pathways .. first is jus checking your documents such as payslips , tax papers etc etc 
second is technical interview, they only ask occupation safety questions related to your field .. no practical work .. if u are in Australia, it will be only for 20 mins .. 
whoke process can take 2 to 3 months .. keep Calling them to check on updates .. it’s helps 

thanks for reply.. but one more thing. u said that they will take interview. but I heard that for general occupation such as restaurant manager, office manager they don't call for interview. I'm not sure.. just heard from others. could u please confirm me?? thanks again

Why don’t u call vetasses office .. google the number !! I have no clue about restaurant manager . This is my personal experience I have shared with u

At the moment, nobody with less than 75 points is being invited for a 189. Regardless of occupation. Yes, you can submit a 489, which may get an ivied as long as you live in the state you are applying sponsorship for, 

Agree with very stormy .. u going to waste your time waiting for 189 buddy .. go for 190 or 489 .. good luck .. are u not going to hire a migration agent?

which state? please check as many states have closed their invitation to apply till July 18.

We applied for nsw!! I think they are open to my knowledge in accepting applications .. thanks Adaa for your concern

I’m sure you will hear a response soon but yes it was frustrating waiting for vetassess tech interview.

 

It was a state nomination we applied for.

Lisa

Uodate from my side migration agent is going to lodge eoi on Monday for 489 as mechanic with 55 plus 10 if we get nominated

Thanks for your reply 

but I got my assessment fromTRA  as a chef.

can I get invited for 189 on 60 points if I wait for 6 months.or you suggest me to go with 489

489 definitely as u can always lodge both .. 

Hey Shams ,, 

have u got skill assessment positive from VETASSESS.. for 190 and 489 , u must have it first ..  nobody can guess how long it can take to get eoi . For this u have to lodge and try your luck .. 

yes employer sponser is option too if someone is happy to sponser u .

Difficult to say as NSW does not release data on points and occupations and simply states that they select and invite top ranking candidates.

So any guess from previous motor mechanic candidates,, with 55 are we having any chance .. thank you buddy for your response .

Hello all , 

we have lodged our eoi for 190 nsw today with 55 points plus 5 . Our occupation is motor mechanic 

our timeline is 

skill assessment stage 1 vetasses = 3 April 2018

skill assessment technical interview =17 may 2018 

skill assesment positive result = 31 may 2018 

eoi lodged for 190 = 1 June 2018 

lets see how long it should take ???
