Â We applied 7 weeks after you, today it is 22 month of wainting for processing. 27.04.2020 your processing started, which is now 4.5 month. Wow. I really hope we are soon in the processing, so much delayed. Â Edited September 9, 2020 by 3together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the requirements at the moment. You should probably be mindful, if you are considering this visa, the DHA conducted a review of all business visas just before the Covid outbreak. There was some discussion around the amount required for investment potentially being increased and also the possibility the complying investment could potentially change . currently investments are restricted to State and Territory bonds. No announcement has been made yet and who knows wht will happen moving forward in the wake of Covid 19. While the minimum points test requires a minimum score of 65, demand for these visas exceeds supply. For the moment, most of the states are still closed re Business visas, but you should be prepared to move quickly when they re-open. Hope this helps and Good luck. All the best.  Edited September 16, 2020 by Steve Elliott Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, WA State Government has additional requirement and requested our whole family (with all 3 persons instead of the primary applicant only) to fulfill the requirement of stay in WA within the 4 years after TR is granted. Anyway, we are fine with this requirement no problem ...

(just finger cross and waiting)    Yes, I should have mentioned that in addition to DHA requirements, all applicants should look up the requirements for the State or Territory, they are seeking nomination from. The DHA requirements are a minimum. In order to satisfy the nominating State or Territory, you are seeking nomination from, you need to ensure you meet their requirements at both 188 and 888 stages.
