Dexy Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi Could anyone advise what you think my chances of being granted a 189 visa are? Any idea of turnaround time? I am a 33 year old solicitor with 75 points, working for an international law firm. I am here on a 4-year 482 visa with my 30 year old husband (who I would like to include on my 189 visa, if that's possible?) I'd like to explore the 189 route whilst keeping my fingers crossed that the rules don't change and I will still be eligible for a 186 visa after a further 2.5 years with my Aus employer. Relevant ANZSCO is 271311. I have looked at the govt website and in the past 4/5 months is seems no-one with under 80 points was invited to apply, but in November, December and January there were hundreds of invitations issued to people with 70 or 75 points. I am unsure why so many more invitations were issued last summer - has there been a recent policy change that I am unaware of? Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Kind regards, Dexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexy Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Have had some helpful advice from @wrussell on another thread (thanks again!) but just a hopeful bump to see if anyone has any insights on likelihood of success with 75 points in my circumstances, and/or any thoughts on why there seems to have been a big change since January (i.e. threshold has gotten higher).
