Cowact Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thanks Nelly, that's what I thought so it makes me more nervous day by day haha. By the way, I've seen many people, such as Marwan above, waiting for 190 nomination mentioning immi account. Do we need to create immi account for 190? in ACT we dont need to and just creat EOI through skill select. And as far as I know that the only online website we can check our process. How do you guys check visa process and what the immi account for 190 about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can share the process that I'm aware of and which was instructed by by agent. I lodged an EOI in SkillSelect and received the invite for NSW 190 nomination in Skillselect. After applying for the nomination and receiving an approval I got the 190 visa invite in SkillSelect. Next, as I understand, my agent lodged the 190 visa application and I am now able to see all the details in immi account. Documents have been uploaded in immi account and one can track status here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a surprise! I just got an invitation from ACT just like 10mins after post here! Now I can finally apply for PR through Skillselect as you said above. So you guys were talking about the one step ahead of me haha now I got it. How long do people usually expect to get their PR granted after apply for it with nomination?

Yikes2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hiya, no news I'm afraid. Lodged 190 1st Feb. 17 weeks and 2 days of waiting. Contacted agent today for some reassurance and they said many clients are in the same position...it's just a matter of being ridiculously patient! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonflygecko Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Stay in there guys. I have to admit it was the most painful wait ever. 13 weeks & 2 days from lodging but finally when it came through I almost died. I'm still in shock and don't know what to do with myself now, we have to wait 3 months to go due to work but when it comes honestly there's no better feeling. Be aware everything has slowed down as skilled migration quotas are near max. Wishing all of you a grant email next week ???

Simons Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hi we lodged ours on 20th march, 190 for nsw after 18 months of the process. The wait is a pain in the back side. Please Visas gods, give us a sign of the answer be it a yes or no, so we can move on with our lifes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait is very painful and starting to get me down alittle. I'm sure everyone in my position wakes up each morning thinking 'will today to be the day?' (I'm using a MA, so will get an E-mail from them). It's a shame you can't leave work sooner. I have already handed my notice in already, as I want to be able to go ASAP. How do you know that migration quotas were near the max? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonflygecko Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 So immi only grant 190,000 skilled visas per year that's their max. They've already invited over that number so only the first 190,000 will be granted then once the quota has been filled they wait for the new financial year to begin- 1st of July. Every year in May/June the visa grant comes to a halt, usually mid June they stop issuing visas. Joeh99 based on mine and others I think you should hear by the 20th June if quotas aren't filled before then. I've been in the same situation, everyday thinking 'is it today' checking emails, tracker, forums, etc driving myself insane. It's such a painful experience to go through and I really wish it was clearer. Although in the end once you get the visa, you have no idea what to do with yourself and the waiting is so worth it to have that email : "congratulations you've been granted a 189 skilled independent visa- stay : indefinitely." They didn't give us much time though entry date was before 03/10 and grant was 25/5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do hope I hear before by the 20th June. Literally living a day at a time - I honestly thought being a 30 year old, single man would mean a quick grant! It really is a painful painful experience, but a small price to pay in the long run I suppose! I bet your still on cloud nine! Have you started to book things - flights etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simons Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm useally really patient but this is a real test. Just keep thinking it's more time to save though. Ours was lodged on 20th march so nearly 3 months now. We are starting to think we may just have to activate it as won't have time to get stuff here sorted.

joeh99 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 We lodged ours the same date then @Simons - What is your profession? Did you submit all your docs (meds, pccs etc) all at once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simons Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 O really. I'm a plumber. Yea basically submitted application then we got our meds and police check done after then uploaded. What about you.

joeh99 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am a Secondary School Teacher; however, I have applied for a 189 visa. My meds and PCCs were uploaded on 13/04. How about yours? Hoping to head to Perth! How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simons Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Don't know the exact dates but think it's around the 10th April it would have been updated. We have to go to new south Wales was going for the 189 at first but then turned 33 so lost points, had to go for the 190. Only had choice of sa, Tasmania or nsw.
