JetBlast Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hello, Does anyone have any rough ideas of the processing time on the 489 visa please? I am looking at getting sponsorship for South Australia via the invited pathway. I haven't submitted an EOI yet. The department of home affairs website isn't helpful, it just says "Unavailable due to low volume of applications.' - https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/visa-1/489- Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just to add. I have 60 points and I am applying under "Computer Network and Systems Engineer" . I have any ACS assessment. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody2709 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Don't forget it's not just the visa processing time. You also need to apply directly to the SA government separately for state nomination. This process can take some time also http://www.migration.sa.gov.au/skilled-migrants/nomination-process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPG Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 @JetBlast My timeline is below, still waiting fro grant: VETASSESS - Screening 17-Oct-17 VETASSESS - Positive Outcome 6-Nov-17 EOI & State Nomination Lodged 7-Nov-17 ITA Received 23-Nov-17 Visa Application Lodged 24-Dec-17 Health Check Done & PCC 31-Dec-17 Awaiting grant. tic toc tic toc tic toc... I requested for a priority VETASSESS assessment by paying an extra fee, this cuts down the time as a normal assessment can take a month or two (not sure) where as a priority assessment takes 10 days. I hope this gives you a fair idea of the timeline.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that we have to apply for state nomination or we can apply before EOI result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody2709 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 You will have to wait for NSW to select you from skill select. Different states have different procedures. Have you looked and researched on the nsw migration website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
