thegeek Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi All, I checked and there isn't any official thread on all those who have received an Invite for 189 Skilled Independent visa on 15th Oct, so here's a thread for the same. I'll start: One of the lucky few with 60 Points to get an invite. I had Submitted the EOI on 2nd July. Is anybody aware what all soft copies do we need of the docs before we click on that Scary 'Apply' button on the said Visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prayee Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi! I also received an invite, I have 65 points. I submitted my EOI last Oct.5. I haven't got my latest Cert of Employment from my current employer so I have not tried clicking that Apply button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest musaddaq Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It means 60 marks are hit for invitation, what is your profession? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegeek Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Thanks everyone. I am also from the ICT stream, Analyst Programmer to be precise. And to answer bodhisattva, I had submitted my EOI on 2nd July early morning around 1 AM Sydney time and my EOI id is around 18000 less than yours. Also I hold a 457 visa and was in Sydney when I had applied on the EOI. BTW, for all of us 189 ones, have a look at this thread I have created on the checklist of the documents and share your comments- http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/165549-checklist-189-common-forms-supporting-docs-diy.html Edited October 15, 2012 by thegeek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecg78 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks for the check list. Everything seems to be in order..just waiting for the police check and "birth cert " from the government office. Meds are next week. It's half the price to do them in Sydney than back at home. Bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also dont know if the visa thing makes any difference..since i had a 457 visa but i declined it and when i logged i was in melbourne ..and 18000 iterations is too much condering the fact that there were only 2000 approx EOI for 60 pointers in whole july. Thanks and best wishes to u Mate . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain! Can you please share which all are the mandatory documents and forms that one need to attach when we click on that apply button and make the payment? Does it get frozen after the payment or are we free to add the documents even thereafter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecg78 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 You dont add any docs before the payment. A few hours after the payment you get approved/rejected and then the system lists the recommended docs and asks you to attach them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecg78 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Sorry, the docs were - passport - ielts - degree - work references - acs assessment - police checks (- health docs are listed but not advised to upload by applicant) Then in the dropdown menu there are huge list of other docs that can be uploaded. Like tax certs, pay slips, birth cert, proof of address, national id, endless list of all types of pXXX docs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great help.I was getting worried sick getting hold of all the docs even before clicking that apply button. Gonna do this now first thing I reach back home from office. I gather this online details that we fill now is what is listed as online form 1393, right? I have Westpac bank ATM debit card. Hope that would do for the payment since it would be less hiccups in AUD. Also, I would appreciate if you can share the docs that you'll be uploading? Can't be more safe when it comes to this.

vinodreddyyalla Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hi All, This might be my last post in the forum. I have been granted 189 visa 3 days ago. I received invitation on 15th October and submitted my application on 16th and finally VISA was granted on 6th November. Was surprised by the speed though. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every one here on this forum who have helped me . I also like to wish best of luck for those who have applied VISA and waiting for grant letters. Cheers, Vinod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
