I hope my 189 comes through. Although if not I will gladly take a 190, not a huge drama really by the sounds of it. 

Thanks for the information Richard. As I was saying it seems a shame people exploit it. I’d of thought with the points raise happening that it will be closed soon enough. 

Yeah it does seem a bit ungrateful to take it then run at the first opportunity.

So would that not make it identical to a 189 visa?

Hi everyone I'm new here so please be patient if I have posted this in the wrong place.

So currently I am applying for a 189 skilled independent visa through a UK based agency. However I have been told that should I not be successful with that visa then the option of a 190 would be available to me. As far as I have been told/read this would require myself to live and work in the sponsoring state for a period of two years. Having said that though I have heard conflicting things from different sources of information e.g. that you do not have to stay and work there for two years. Basically I'm just looking for a bit of clarification from someone who has undergone this process recent just to set my mind at ease.

thanks a lot in advance.

Joel.
