    Does anyone have the info on how many 188B visas were granted in the 12 months ending June 2023, and is so by State & Territory?

      The department used to publish this data periodically which I tracked, however, I haven't seen any recent data. Numbers published annually no longer breakdown into subclass streams. Even if available, my opinion is that the figures would be meaningless as the BIIP is effectively suspended at the moment with no indication if and when it will re-open. 

      Processing of applications already lodged also seems to be on hold, or progressing at a snail pace at best. 

      I'm sorry this might not be very helpful but the current paralysis with the BIIP is causing everyone a great deal of angst.

    Anyone got any knowledge of current processing times? Lodged application 12 months ago haven’t heard anything. Timelines of those who have recently got a case officer? TIA

    Has anyone received this visa recently? How long did it take? Any information/advice on when an application submitted in June 2021 might be considered? TIA

    Hi everyone - Would welcome any advice on preparing my CV/ resumé for EOI.

    Hi everyone - I am trying to find out which States will consider an age waiver on this visa if one exceeds the standard State nomination designated investment of AUD 1.5 m. (The Significant Investor visa with AUD5 m investment is not an option).So far I have NSW - won’t consider. WA will consider with AUD 2.25m investment. Please - any advice, comments, info will be appreciated regarding other States requirements. Needing to choose where to submit EOI & find an agent. Thank you

    Can anyone on the forum assist with interest rates on designated investments for example in Qld & WA. Have seen a figure of 0.05% for WA. Seems very low if one is needing an income from an investment

    Thanks Alan. We are over 55 yrs & understand that WA will consider an age waiver & that NSW does not. Do Qld or any other states consider age waivers?

    We’re in initial stages of finding out about 188b. Can anyone please advise where to go to find specific State requirements for Qld & WA? Also the return on State bonds - is it a fixed percentage?

    We have recently lodged a contributory parent sc 143 application. Subsequently via this forum we’ve now become aware of the very long wait ( probably 10 years). Is it acceptable if I now want to make enquiries with other agents regarding our eligibility for the Investor visa 188 b? Also can one apply for 2 different visas using 2 different agents if that is the route we decide to go? Thanks for any advice - don’t want to break any rules or protocol.

    Fully understand your frustration & disappointment, feel the same

    We have just submitted our 143 application (60 & 61 years old) & only in the last week through this forum have we come to know the reality of the long wait. Had no idea it would be so long, we have an agent & also have done a lot of research
