BruceLee Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi everyone, My daughter and son in law wish to come to Australia on a 190 visa. Could you please tell me how long it takes for an expression of interest to result in an invitation to apply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we had gotten the positive skills assessment (no 190 application will be doubtful to succeed without it). We applied on the friday and had an invite before the end of the next week. Turned round the paperwork really quickly and had an acceptance for sponsorship within 4 works Now juts waiting for the visa to be granted... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 IT varies. But, they do need to be aware they do have to live in the sponsoring state. Have they checked which states are sponsoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will depend on many factors such as occupation, points, State, etc. Simply having an occupation on the list, does not guarantee that an invitation will be received. NSW is the most difficult to receive an invite as it is the most popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Visa approval people have been waiting more than 6 months just to get contact from a case officer and some have been waiting much much longer than that without any contact at all. Things are definitely not improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me if there are any other visa options for them to get permanent residency in Australia please? They are English, in their 20s, with no dependents. One is a Toolmaker and one is a Primary Teacher. They both have competent English (being English ;)). They have a grandmother who is an Australian citizen, uncles, aunties and cousins who are permanent residents and a mother (that's myself) who will soon be a permanent resident. They don't want to take the risk of temporary working visas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Step 1. Consult one of the registered migration agents who posts on this forum for an assessment. You might not like the advice, but a least you will know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
