woody2709 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I have an EOI in for a 189 and 190 NSW. I am hoping the 489 points requirement will reduce from 90 in July. I have 70. I will get 5 extra points in December so that is a plus.Incase you didn't know, the points requirement for 489 is only for family sponsored. State nominated 489 is still at 60. I received my at 60. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For South Australia they have increased the points for the 489 in some occupations. I am a Computer Network and Systems Engineer like the OP in this post below. Cheers for replying.

Adaa Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 another uneventful week I guess....the immigration department is busy clearing the backlog as I dont see any grants after Feb...hope they speed up and bring in some good news.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonandSophietravel Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi all - really interesting reading this post Now that the new state lists have been announced and South Australia has reduced their high points from 90 to 80, we're ready to start the process of applying for 489. As my wife has only just completed her 3 years since qualification, we have to get TRA skills assessment first (TRA require a minimum of 3 years before they'll accept an assessment). We'll have 80 points and they're currently on 4 months turnaround instead of the usual 3, so I'm concerned that SA might bump up their high points category like they did last year. To be fair, they only bumped it up in February, so if it takes 4 months and we hear back from them in November, it still should be fine, but who knows what the future will bring. I'll update my post with details once things get underway. Fingers crossed. Also, we've previously lived in Adelaide on a working holiday visa and it was amazing. If anyone would like any tips about the city (although it was back in 2011) then please ask 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adaa Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 the group is too quite...the processing time increased from 5months to 9 months...all those who got their grants before July were lucky....now its a looooong wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
