tigerfeet Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Don't know if anyone noticed but processing times have changed from 6 months to 3 months this week so at least we can have a nail biting experience for hopefully half the time!!:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy1990 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hi, Lodged 190 WA on the 20th of Feb with 70 points ..Medicals completed on Friday (we're already in Perth) Police checks completed also. So 7 weeks this Monday I think, when should I start worrying? Goodluck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wether it's a good things or a bad that we have an agent otherwise I'd be sitting on immi website refreshing lol Where have you applied for? We're already in WA.

Everything has been very slow for us:-( Major waiting on the EoI compared to everyone else. Agent..emm. I may hassle them this week, as I want to book the meds and police checks, while we wait. I realise it may limit our visa validation time but tbh, we want to have a decision and be moved before the beginning of the new school year. Good luck, everyone:smile:x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfeet Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Someone just posted on poms in adelaide that their agent has told them today that 190 and 489 visas have nearly met the yearly quota and processing times may be delayed even to the point of being processed after 1st July the new tax year. I hope that doesn't affect us !!:no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime1984 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't no how true that is? I've seen on the expact forum people mention it. But if we have been invited for then surely there is still places available, so don't worry, I think we should get are grants this week or next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxy1990 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 oh pants! Wonder when their cut date was? Any idea? Can only wait and see how this week pans out but it's seems to have slowed down from the week I lodged...20th Jan. Grants from week beginning 15th Jan seem to have been flying out. ill probably be more worried come Friday and the beginning of the 8th week!

tigerfeet Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I still don't understand why they changed the processing times to 3 months last week getting everyone excited just to turn round the next week and say the quota has nearly been met. So frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Trying to find out if this is true. Did this guy in Adelaide mean the 190 and 489 visa have nearly reached there limit in Adelaide? as it did in NSW on 24/12/13. It doesn't make much sense with them reducing the waiting time to 3 months. Also reading this on Skill select website. State and territory nominated visas will no longer be subject to occupational ceiling limitations The minimum ceiling for each occupational group will be 1000 invitations. To me, this is saying that the 190 visa will no longer be subject to occupational ceilings limitations, meaning there offering to give more out so to speak?? The minimum ceiling for each occupational group will be 1000 invitations.?? Doesn't make sense to me :wacko: If anyone can explain this to mean, will be much appreciated. Just over 4 weeks since I lodged, stressful times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfeet Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The two threads that i read was on poms in adelaide under the thread "visa grant backlog" and British expats under thread "sc 190 and 489 visas close to quota". Maybe it only applys to people who haven't had an invite yet. We haven't got an agent to ask as we did it on our own. Just got to think positive as nothing has been confirmed yet so could be rumors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a post stating his/her grant is delayed until July even though PCC & Medicals completed.... So, I'm not saying it's 100% sure, or that it is for everyone, but it's not looking good either. If true, it is going to create a storm... Living so long with each leg in a different country is no joke. Let's wait for official updates.

Wen66 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 This is not good. :confused: I have emailed our agent, asking them if this is affecting our application. boo:( Because we have been on the back foot, I assume it will...... I thought, I'd read in a previous post re a similar issue with NSW. Did they not have a cut off date and anyone who had been allocated a CO, would be processed as normal? July would be fine with our circumstances but it would be the length of time after July, which would concern me. What if they close the doors completely? We wont get a refund:( Don't think I could face another winter in the UK......:cry: If anyone finds out anything, please keep us posted. Chin up, folks. :hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyB Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wen66, do you really think they can change game rules in the middle of the game and not even get refunds to people who "entered the game" without knowing what could happen? Do you think this is really an option? :ssign2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are, at the mercy of Immi. Hopefully, it all works out. Hope you get good news soon, Ladybug.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
