joeh99 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 In hindsight, I would have submitted all of my documents when I lodged my visa. I defo feel like my case has taken longer. I lodged my visa on 21/03 and finalised medical/PCCs on 15/04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeh99 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I hope so; however, there seems to be a freeze on grants at the moment until 1st July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laevans Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hey guys hope you don't mind me jumping on the bandwagon but just wondered if any 189 management accountants on here? We submitted a 189 EOI on 27th march with only 65 points but updated it Friday to 75 points superior English! Are we likely to her an invite and if so any idea how long?? Anyone else in same boat? Invites seem to be super quiet right now! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody2709 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Accountants reached their maximum ceiling values early in the year. Im guessing youll have to wait for them to reset in july.https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil#tab-content-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laevans Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hand on heart he didn't even study for the PTE! He stressed so much and studied his bum off for the IELTS and put so much pressure on himself he kind of looked at test papers and was like stuff it im just going to go give it my all and that's me done and Lady Luck was obviously on his side... for once!! It's all such a money generating scheme x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenBlue Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi @woody2709 I used e2 language too, although never paid for the full version. I also scoured YouTube for the various sections of the test and tried LOADS of practice tests! Do you have a sense for which part of the writing might be tripping you up? Maybe just concentrate on that as you seem to have the rest of it nailed! Good luck for another attempt, I'm sure you can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get 90 every time in the reading and speaking, but not 100% which question types are letting me down for the others. Yeah youtube is brilliant, learnt most from on there. Ill keep this chat updated with my progress throughout my visa. Thanks for the support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have uploaded our police check certificates and submitted the additional information that was requested by our CO. So now I guess the wait begins for them to get back to us for more info or if we will get our visa granted :err:. Has anyone else submitted and are waiting to hear back? Here's hoping it isn't too longer wait to find out the outcome! Purplesparkle x Hi when did you get your visa granted? Was it long after you submitted?

I'm really worried about the reading aspecially the reading when you have to say true, not true or not given! Any tips? Have my test on the 29th July! Hope you get your visa very soon Cheers Rach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeh99 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi @Casey r - I'm a secondary school teacher who holds a First Class history degree, so the pressure was on to pass first time! I suffer from Dyslexia, so I was really concerned about the reading element; however, it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. The best advice I can give is to do the practice tests over and over again. I did and found the actual test was easier. All the best! Keep us updated! Fingers crossed I get my visa ASAP.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey r Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Hi @joeh99 thanks for replying to me, sorry to ask another question when you do the exam it is on paper isn't it and how strict are they on what you put? What I mean is I've done the online test and for example I put as my answer 'she's working' and it's marked wrong as it says I should have put 'she is working'? Will they really penalise me for that? Thanks Edited June 27, 2017 by Casey r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
