gtaylor30 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Does submitting an EOI in March count? I just did, 75 points. The next invite round is next week, so here's hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ll surely get the ITA on 24th March. I received mine as soon as the clock turned 12 midnight Australian time. Are you going to apply immediately?

I received mine as soon as the clock turned 12 midnight Australian time.Are you going to apply immediately? Pretty much, yeah. As far as I'm aware, I have everything ready to go for mine, and it's hopefully a simple open and shut case. Just me, all the docs in place and ready, and as you can see, 75 points. Obviously there's the medicals and PCC, but I'll get those as soon as I apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akashif Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hello group members, I need a word of advise with my case. I submitted my EOI on 15th March for both 189 & 190 Visas. Today I received an invitation from Queensland for State Nomination. For this, the documents/information has to be submitted by 1st of April. On the other hand, the next round of invites for 189 is on 24th March. If I wait to see the results till 24th that whether I get an invitation or not for 189, it will not give me sufficient time to prepare & submit the Queensland application. Can anyone advise, what should I be doing at this point? Regards, Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subbi1857 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi Guys ! I have couple of questions . I have submitted an EOI with 60 points (189 visa) on 19th Feb 2014 and my occupation (ANZCO 233411, Electronics Engineer) has reached it's ceiling limit already. I have a work positive skills assessment from Engineers Australia and I fall under IELTS band 7 score. I have already resigned my job and am waiting for the invitation . I see that my occupation is under a lot of demand. Is there any hope to get an invitation within July for 189 ? I am planning to apply for 190 as well . Can anyone please let me know which state is offering sponsorship for my occupation ?(ANZCO 233411, Electronics Engineer) ? Thanks in Advance !

Swamps Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I've been doing all of mine through an agent. Adds a bit to the costs but takes the pain and pressure off so well worth it. We thought that is costs so much cash to get the visa, it's worth the little more to make sure it's right. I'm slightly concerned about the medicals but will cross that bridge when I have to Edited March 24, 2014 by Swamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtaylor30 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 And I have actually lodged, so this thread is definitely for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor30 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 A bit premature, but I decided to organise my medicals. I'm in this Thursday in Manchester. I figured that unless there's a humungous delay in granting the visa, i/e/ not before the end of the year or something, then I'd have not just validated by then, but moved long before so all's good.

Dannielle24 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Lodging ours in the morning, so exited, hope to be leaving a.s.a.p. after grant. How will I distract myself while waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor30 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just done my medical. Nothing to it, it was at Bridgewater hospital, Manchester. Staff and Dr Million were lovely. Basically, photo, height, weight, pee in a cup, take off your clothes and be examined, have some blood taken and a chest x-ray which is primarily checking for TB apparantly. They told me they'd submit it tomorrow if all is fine, and if not, call me first to discuss, so that's good, as they won't just submit one that isn't good.

Booked for the 9th of April. Aye. Dr Million said it was all fine, just the blood and x-ray to check and if it's all fine it'll be uploaded tomorrow, if not they'll call. X-ray was quite funny, wandering around an x-ray lab half naked while the nurses sort stuff out, and eventually have to take 2 x-rays as I'm apparantly "tall and broad, and there's no fat on your ribs, so the plates aren't quite big enough". I think they just wanted me half naked for longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On uploading of meds, they change status to "No health examinations are required for this person for this visa subclass based on..." Its really stupid.. First I thought, I wasted my resources in getting the meds done.. But then I realized that it means all our health parameters are normal...! :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get everything done as I'm going over anyway in May, and if I can get the grant before then, it'll validate my visa. If not, I'll be moving 3 months from grant anyway so timescales should work out nicely anyway. Edited March 27, 2014 by gtaylor30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am yet to figure out which state to go to, then comes the city, then the neighborhood... arrghhh! thats a lot of planning to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
