@YanzL 70 points is a guess as everyone i have talked to in this profession, never heard higher points.

I applied for Pastry cook, and highest points in this profession are 70. I am guessing its not the same for ICT project Manager. Anyway sit tight, the invite should come any day now!!!

@Skhush Victoria changed rules in september 2018, regarding nomination process. for non ICT profession, the new process is to file for nomination and then wait for Victoria to grant you the nomination and then file the EOI (within 4 months of getting the nomination). But if you have already filed EOI, you will get nomination and Invite together. its on the Victoria website. https://liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/migrate/skilled-migration-visas/skilled-nominated-visa-subclass-190 I received my Victoria invitation exactly 4 months after filing for nomination. also, for my profession people with 70 points received invite after 2 months, i had 65 points. So, you might get an invite soon now, depending on your points.

@garrychandi thanks so much for your prompt reply. I will lodge my 190 as well..

Hey Guys I need some help, with Victoria 190. I submitted EOI for 190 Victoria in June with 65 points, and as my profession is non ICT, i had to fill out nomination which i did on 24th Sept. Meanwhile I had also submitted EOI for 489 SA with 70 points in july and received invite on 8th October. Now, i have always wanted to go to Victoria but since i heard nothing from them and also my invite from SA was expiring I filed my Visa application 489SA on 7th December, after waiting as much as i could for Victoria. done PCC and health assessment as well, paid the fees. Fast forward to January 23rd and I get an Invite from Victoria (190)as well. And as stated Victoria was always my first choice as for my profession Melbourne is the best city. Now I want to know if I can lodge another visa application (yes i will have to pay the hefty fees again), but considering its a permanent visa (190) and i wont have to buy my own health insurance and pay for 887 after 2 years of stay in SA, I am thinking of withdrawing my 489(SA) application and lodge 190(Vic). Please advice.

Hi All Just to update everyone who is waiting for SA nomination invite, I submitted my EOI and nomination application for 489 SA on 10th July and received an invite today 8th Oct, so I guess SA has finally got to processing nominations filed till 10th July.

https://migration.sa.gov.au/resources/processing-times good news, processing time reduced to 12-16 weeks !!!!!

I just saw the new processing time for 489 SA. https://migration.sa.gov.au/resources/processing-times They are taking a month for applications lodged in 1 day. this is baffling.

I have been trying to fill the SA nomination form for 489 online, cant seem to enter employment details. Anyone else facing the same problem??

I have applied Eoi on 1 june for nsw and on 5 june for Vic with 65 points. Still waiting... Occ pastry cook
