Suus Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi all, I’m hoping to hear from other forum members about their experience with State sponsorship from NSW. We have put an eoi in for State sponsorship from NSW (190), Secondary school teacher, on the 22nd of August with 65 points (including state sponsorship points) and I wonder how long others had to wait for an invite? My husband’s points are 25 for age, 15 for Education and 20 for English. The short(er) version of our story is that we lived in Perth for 14 months (on a student visa) till last March but had to leave Oz because our visa ran out and we didn’t receive an invite for the eoi we put in for Family Sponsored 489 (WA) or the 189 skilled independent (not enough points after they changed the minimum required points). Since then we’ve been back in the UK but can’t wait to return to Oz asap. We have recently put in an eoi for NSW as well, as they don’t seem to invite anyone for the Family sponsored visa anymore And from what I’ve been reading they need lots of teachers in regional areas in NSW, especially science teachers and we are more than willing to go country so I am hoping we will receive an invite soon. But sometimes I am losing all hope of ever returning as they seem to change the rules constantly... Thanks for “listening” and looking forward to hear other people’s experiences.

Hank Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi Suus, I’m a Secondary School Teacher and I submitted 190 EOI 2nd August to NSW with 75 points....I’ve had no response so far. Also intrigued to hear waiting times for invites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you also put an eoi in for 189 with 70 points? I find it so strange that the occupation ceiling for secondary school teachers is one of the highest, yet they hardly invite any Fingers crossed you’ll hear something soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 75, you should have got a 189 invite itself already. http://www.iscah.com/eoi-invitation-estimates/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hoping for a 189 invite in the next round based on the Iscah estimates with 70 points. My points are: age 30, English 20, 15 for education and 5 for experience. 75 points for 190 included the 5 for state sponsorship. Good luck with it all Suus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimz Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi, Our eoi was submitted 13th August and had an invite to apply by the 23rd August. We applied for nomination a few days later and are now waiting for the nomination to apply for visa. It’s been about 5 weeks. My partner is a plumber with 65 points including state sponsorship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reaction Aimz. That was a really quick invite for you then, how lucky. Good luck with the rest of the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that as a secondary teacher as the primary or the plumber as primary (plumber will get snatched up ASAP)? How many points? OP: I'm secondary, NSW EOI 6/6, 65+5 pts. NSW has not started 'bulk' inviting yet for the year, so they are only inviting certain occupations or very high point getters. And yes the occupational ceilings are stupid, they indicate demand, but selection is not based on them. For the 189, the caps are so high that the glut of 75+ point accounts and engineers can take pretty much all invites. For the 190, states have their own occupational priorities and don't publicize them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimz Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi, it’s the plumber as the primary applicant. Yes I’m guessing plumbers are in high demand.. just waiting for that go ahead now to submit visa [emoji119] Hope your hear something soon.

Do you also have a 189 application? You'd be a good indicator for if NSW is inviting teachers because you are one of the few of the few with over 65 pts, but you will likely get 189 next round if you have an app in.

kernz Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I have also applied for state nomination NSW as a secondary school teacher with 70 points. I lodged my EOI on July 31st- not heard anything yet. I have also done the 189 with 65 points but I don't expect that to happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my 189 out because I don't stand a chance with 65 points, or at least not for an entire year. For now, 190 seems my only route in. Why is NSW taking so long to issue invites?

Could still be waiting for more 189s, could be retooling their own selection after the NSW premier called to cut immigration to her state in half.

benj1980 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I was only looking at invites yesterday and there has been none at 65 for a little while now. 70 seems to be key to get moving up the list. Good luck guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to know whether to keep your life on hold or not- and I've only been waiting 3 months! Have you got 70 points with or without state sponsorship?

It's especially upsetting as their poor selection criteria for the 189 has fueled the political turn against immigration, and the consequential cuts are only making their selections worse.

Putting in for a 189 is just not worth it at the moment as I wouldn't be considered with only 65 points for at least a year. I can't help but keep thinking the lack of invites is more political than because of some back log or lack of demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
