HeretoThere Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi all hope you are doing well. I received a state sponsored 190 invitation for NSW and submitted the application for the visa in early April. The job is not on a priority skills list and we would be moving as a family of 5 once the visa is granted. Do the quotas mean that we will be waiting longer than usual (in Immi it says 9-12 months)? I'm not sure exactly how the quotas affect this type of application. We are not in a rush to move and have not been assigned a CO yet or had medicals/police reports requested so I am just waiting for contact on next steps. Just wondering if anyone had a general idea of how the reduced numbers might affect this type of application or if we would still receive the application within 12 months. Just seeing if anyone else has a similar situation. Thanks all if anyone has any ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tended to look at Immitracker for a guide more generally. Looking today it seems they slowed down granting 190 visas about 4 months ago but there are early signs the grants might be beginning to pick up again. There are still a large number of applications dating back to December 2019 but we've seen in previous years that they can clear the backlogs within a couple of months. It's pretty much impossible to predict when your application will be picked up. Last year I did my medicals straight away around this time of year and it turned out I had complications with my Xray - it took about 3 months to sort it out - seeing private specialists to prove I was fit - NHS didn't consider it a priority as i was still standing (to paraphrase!). While this was going on, HA started blitzing the 190 backlog. About a week after I submitted my final medicals I got a direct grant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeretoThere Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Thanks so much I will check Immitracker too. Great to hear yours went smoothly in the end (and you're still standing!!) congrats, and thanks for the info. I'm sure things will pick up again when they can.

It usually takes a bit of time for the Department to implement changes. Also be mindful that currently on shore applications are generally being being given priority over off shore applications.
