Yusuf & Palavi Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hello everyone, We have applied for South Australia state nomination (489) on 20th July 2019. We were wondering if anyone who has applied in June/July 2019 heard back from them. The main concern is the 10th Sept deadline for receiving invite for 489. We are not sure if we are going to make it since the average processing time on the website is 8 weeks and we just cross the 7 weeks mark till then. Anxiety levels are peaking!!! Fingers crossed!! Thanks, Palavi & Yusuf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRC Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 We submitted our EOI in May and got the invite to apply by the end of June. It was on a Saturday which surprised me because I expected it to be a Monday-Friday kinda job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf & Palavi Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 Congratulations on the invite JRC! Yes, Saturday is a surprise! We will now keep an eye out (all eyes out actually :)) on Saturdays too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB537 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I sent in my application on 20th June and received my nomination today. There was a slight delay because the office closes for a week before July and there was some mistake with the form declaring my estimated savings at the time of moving, so they came back querying that, so the average time might be slightly quicker than my 8 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf & Palavi Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Congratulations on your invite!! Yes, we are hoping for a better turn around time too and praying to get an invite before 10th Sept. In case we don't , it will be a long wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB537 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thank you! I will have my fingers crossed for your invite. I have read on https://www.migration.sa.gov.au/skilled-migrants/skilled-visa-options that South Australia stopped accepting 489 state nomination applications on 14th August, so I'm sure that they will be trying to process all of the applications already received before the cut off. Seems unfair that people already in the system would need to wait 2 months and possibly pay again to apply for the new visa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf & Palavi Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Thank you so much!! Ya, we too feel it will be really unfair in case they do not process all applications which reached them in time. However, in case of any queries/ missing documents we hope they contact and not drop the application - they have mentioned that they will get in contact after 10th Sept in case of no invite from their side (may be with the reasons for no invite). Did you lodge your Visa application already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what’s happening with permanent residency as the 489 is going to be obsolete soo? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyal Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hi any one in the forum applied SA nomination on July 4th ? Supplementary list occupation with 80 points and received invite ? Cheers Rohan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf & Palavi Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thank you Simon. For the PR I think they will continue the 887 pathway for the 489 holders. Hey Rohan, you can check this excel sheet for SA invite and Visa timelines of some of the other applicants https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e6B4RJHJVbPbDXBSUh8sLP3WshvdIetq5f4hheTJQic/htmlview# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you lodge your Visa application already? Congratulations on your invite! Glad it came through in such good time for you. Yes, I applied for my visa last week. I completed my application for the police check and am just waiting for my agent to send over my referral letter for me to book in my medical, then back to just waiting again! Have you put in your application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf & Palavi Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thank you! Yes, we applied a couple of weeks back and done with the medicals 2 days back. Now .. the long wait begins!! Did you fill the form 1221 too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working with an agent so luckily she completed that for me with information I filled in when I first started working with her. Police checks complete, I'm just waiting for my agent to get back to me with the HAP ID referral for the medicals. Then, as you said, settling in for a long wait! I feel so impatient!
