Chasing a dream Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi, Yay....we got our invite today (189 electronics engineer)! Just wondering what other people's timelines were from this point, how soon were you in Aus after receiving your invite? Feel like we should be making plans now.....searching the job market, looking at suburbs where there seems to be the majority of jobs in this industry etc. Or are we jumping the gun? We have 2 kids in Junior school so really hoping to be there for the start of the school year in Jan! Too optimistic??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really good, I was just curious as I applied last week with 60 points as an electrician. Fingers crossed for next round!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenBlue Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi @Chasing a dream congrats on such a quick invite! The DIBP website currently states that from lodgement 75% of 189 visas are granted within 4 months, and 90% within 7 months. It all depends on how much supplementary information you provide upfront with your application (medicals, police checks, form 80, etc) as waiting until the case officer asks for them can just slow things up a little. Best of luck with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
