shartone Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 hi i am just looking into applying for a 189 or 190 visa however was wondering what timescale the visa is approximately taking from start to finish? I understand that this is going to be very much dependant on an individual basis however it would be great to get a rough idea. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlornax Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Look on the threads here..people have time lines...appears to be anything from 3 weeks to 12 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shartone Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 thanks xlornax - i will have a look....i attempted to search earlier. new to the site!!! think i saw a post earlier from yourself replying to a social work question. i am also a social worker looking to relocate, your response was interesting and something that i have previously heard from other workers who have experience of working in australia.

xlornax Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yeah once you get used to the site its easy to find your way around there is visa lodged 189 / 190 january n february threads and ppl have been granted visas from their already. .im on a 457 currently and applied for 189 three weeks ago..heard nothing so far. Good luck..you will find this site very useful look at ppls signature lines too on any post..some ppl put all those details and that can give indication of time frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tina0101 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 We applied for a 189 and it didn't take too long (see my timeline below). Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You have to first have your skills assessed, and that would be a long process. Mine took 16 weeks. Then the visa application itself took only 18 days for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
