Arshad Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Can someone explain this. is it good news for people with state nomination only? or as they saying that Family Sponsored 176 will also have thier cases looked into? Thanks, while this is plain English, but it's still Latin to those tired of waiting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJF Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a case officer and my case is under routine processing since May 2012, How long will it take before they request me to proceed for medical checks and police certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 My understanding is that it is just the state sponsored priority 5 applicants at this stage and not family sponsored - that is what the statement says. South Australia have provided information that they have sent emails (to the email address they had on file) to all of the people they consider they waiting in this category. So if you are South Australia state sponsored between Sept 2007 and June 2010 and in Cat 5 and have not received an email from them you should maybe contact them - there are details on their web site on how to reach them.

shresthaz Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 As I went through the link to the table named " Allocation Dates for General Skilled Migration Applications", the processing time for 190 visa is within 5 weeks of lodgement. Is it means, 5 weeks after submitting an EoI or receiving a state nomination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Regards, Arshad Iqbal If the visa is a New South Wales one then its New South Wales where you should live as far as I am aware. There are a couple in Brisbane being deported because they applied for citizenship and the migration department found out they were not in the right suburb. You do not appear to be in the right State. Suggest you contact a migration agent and seek some advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
