hashim2 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hello All, My Professional Year graduation date was 19 August 2019 and I was invited to apply for 189 on 14 October 2022. My initial thinking was that my PY was valid for 4 years from the graduation date, however, I have read elsewhere that the PY is valid for 4 years from the start date. This would mean that it is only valid 3 years from the graduation date. I fear now, that if PY is only valid for 4 years from the start date, my 189 may be rejected as I have mistakenly over-claimed 5 points. Does anyone have more information on PY validity and whether it is valid from start date or graduation date? Should I withdraw my 189 application? Any assistance on this matter would be a huge help. Thank you and kind regards, Hashim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
