Has you're processing time gone up? 18-months now! 

I'm glad it's not just me...I have been getting really frustrated with the wait. My life is in limbo at the moment! 

Hi I applied for a 189 visa in March and the processing time was 6 months. It has now gone up to 11-22 months. I have not any contact from a CO. I'm not sure if this means we are being pushed back for more desirable candidates. Has anyone had similar experiences? 

Thank you everyone...this is all useful info!

I've heard places are far apart, we will be basing where we decide to move against job availability.

Thank you. We just want a rough idea. We wouldn't live in the city but in a suburb. I'm so excited about coming but then I have waves of panic about jobs and living costs. 

Okay brill thank you. I'll do it anyway to ensure the points. 

Hi myself, my husband and 2 boys (currently aged 5 and 1) are in the process of applying to move to Australia....we are thinking Queensland. Has anyone got any advice? Especially the monthly cost of living for a famoly of four? Tips for schooling children. Job hunting....now vs when we get there...or anything else we might need to know.
Thank you.

Hi we are looking at our points score. On the form for the skills assessment it states the 4 years of university counts as proficient English but I spoke to an immigration service and they said I would need to do an English test as well to score for proficient English. Has anyone been through this?
