greenrobert Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks not sure why? Never got the delay email. The only thing I can think is that the numbers for midwives is only on 33 out of 1000 for this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jac2011 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just to let people know the Brisbane immi office were super friendly and reassured me that everything is fine with my application. The lady laughed at the fact my CO had accidentally requested a Form 80 for my son. Turns out they just wanted to know if I had ever lived in the Bahamas as I got married there! They reassured me they would process my Form 80 today and I would get my grant early July. They did state it could be one or two weeks into July before I heard but assured me I could call them if I had not heard anything by the 15th.

I can just imagine a four year old putting his last ten years travel history and employment down! At least now you have a date, that's excellent.

adonjio Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Congratulations! Well done! You are either lucky, or have a solid file + a very much in demand occupation. I believe they delay people that can wait a bit longer. It seems there are priority groups within the 189 applicants, mainly people with families I guess. Congratulations again! Thank you all,I have submitted all required documents on the same day when I lodged my PR including PCC Next day I have appeared for Medicals, So my file was perfectly alright to go... I was just waiting....with my wife and kids.... May be Im lucky..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonjio Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Wow! That's great! It's nice to see they are still giving them out to April applicants. Got Grant !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesford Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If I was to apply for an eoi today, two adults 3 children, how long, approx would it take to have a 189 visa granted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainC Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) If I was to apply for an eoi today, two adults 3 children, how long, approx would it take to have a 189 visa granted? You're looking at approx 3 to 4 months from the date that you submit EOI (depending on how many points that you have), but there is a lot of preparation to do first like completing IELTS (or similar) and successfully applying for and obtaining a positive skills assessment, you can't submit an EOI before at the very least obtaining a skills assessment. What stage are you at? If you look at other peoples timelines, like mine below, it would give you an idea of how long the whole process takes. However it does vary for different occupations.

Good luck to everyone still waiting, I hope more April applicants get some more grants tonight! Good to hear IMMI's still giving out grants. I'm a bit confused though since they sent out emails about how visa quota for the 14-15 financial year has been reached and they could not give out more grants before 1st July. Anyone knows what happened?? Edited June 17, 2015 by Kangaroohunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
