Hi Wizard, 

 

I applied on the day applications for nomination re-opened (2nd July 2018). I received my nomination from the Vic government on 29th August 2018 and was invited to apply through skill select on 30th August 2018. 

 

190 application was submitted on 10th September 2018 (I had to wait for my UK police check to arrive in the post). 190 visa granted December 3rd, 2018 - exactly 12 weeks from the date of submission.

 

I suspect you may also have your visa now but I thought this may be useful info if not. 

Nigel,

Congrats.

I am 9 weeks in.

Ready to pop off the champagne bottle.

Thanks, we are working with a migration agent and so I have little knowledge of the application process really _ I waited for the invitation then did the visa lodgement (actual application), that was about a month after the invitation as completed document collation and filled in form 80. I’ve now been waiting almost 3 months for case officer to be assigned. Then it will hopefully be health/medical checks, police checks and grant. That’s still months away... it’s a long waiting process believe me. 

I’ve decided to wait for each step. 

Hooe this helps. 

Any luck?

We received an invitation by Vic State in Oct 2018 - we did the police report request, form 80 and relevant skills assessment (Physiotherapist) prior to submitting the 190 visa. Our 190 visa application was submitted in Nov 8 2018.

Within a week, health assessment requirements were complete (NOTE: I did not receive a request for Health/Medical check, I found the request while browsing thru Aus immi account under application details). I also check to see if all my police reports were received by Aus Immigration - which they were.

Its been 2 months and from the sound of things - i'll be another 3-4 months until  I hear from them.
