Twilight007 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi Can anyone tell me how long to wait from submitting an EOI to invitation if I have relatives sponsoring. I am intending on applying for a 489 visa. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It depends on how many points you have claimed, since higher points would receive an earlier invitation than lower. I think pro rata occupations also comes into play for family sponsored 489 visas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazwilkins Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It was 3 months from expression of interest to getting our visa grant but I went for 489 skilled occupation and had 75 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazwilkins Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Sorry, correction, it took 5 months. EOI 10/08/15 visa granted 18/01/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam13 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It was 3 months from expression of interest to getting our visa grant but I went for 489 skilled occupation and had 75 points. Just out of curiosity why didn't you go for a permanent 189 if you had 65 points plus the 10 for 489 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazwilkins Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Because my occupation was taken off the skilled occupation list for Australia so I have had to get a regional sponsorship. I had 65 points but got 10 more because my skills are needed in that region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight007 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thanks for the comments but I am looking specifically for the family sponsored waiting time and if anyone has a rough guideline. Some say you wait years for an invitation and others say a few months. I would be interested to have some kind of ballpark indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
