I have to say the information shared here has been very helpful for me in understanding the visa process and credit goes to each of you for generously sharing your experiences and suggestions throughout. By the way, I have applied for SA 489 state nomination on the 11th of Feb for Cafe and Restaurant Manager occupation with 75 points and was hoping to get another 10 points with state nomination however the occupation is marked as "low places available" and that makes me a bit worried. Do they have a set date for announcing the nomination results or can it happen on any day of the month? So you are currently at the stage of applied for SA sponsorship after submitting the EOI?

Swaroop Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 @Joesline Thank you for the revert. Yes, I have lodged the EOI and state nomination application on the 11th Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have lodged the EOI and state nomination application on the 11th Feb. The current average processing time for the invitation is 5 weeks. https://migration.sa.gov.au/resources/processing-times If you have submitted the correct document(s), you should be able to get the invitation within 5 weeks or lesser. (Example for my case, the invitation came after 16 days.) Edited February 24, 2019 by Joesline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swaroop Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 @Joesline Thank you , may I ask how many points you've had while applying for nomination and the occupation? Also, I've been told by MA that results are announced on 11th of every month, have you heard anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is applying as Multimedia Designer. I heard of it, but don't think it really work that way since I received my result on 18th for the invitation.

Such an awesome list, thanks for sharing , Wishing everyone a speedy visa grant. Would be great if each row could somehow have the number of days it took for each visa grant (for those who are due to arrive) & the type of visa (489/190 etc.), just a humble suggestion.

Yeah I think that's a great idea. Many people have it in their signature but having it all together will help. There are a couple of bigger spreadsheets that have hundreds of people on but it'll be nice to keep one just for us. I'll have a browse through and see if I can make something quick in a bit that isn't an external spreadsheet but can easily be viewed on here.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
