Tazzn Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just wondering if anyone on the forum lodged a 189 application around the end of August and if so have you heard any news?

RosemaryC Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 We applied for the skill visa as a mechanical engineer. I remember it took the time frame they gave, which was 2 months, if I can remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE1508 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi there, to those still waiting for a CO, I am wondering if you have received the same info from Skillselect that I have received.I know that you have 60 days to apply for a VISA once receiving an invite for the VISA. We received an invite on 22 Sep and applied and paid that same day. I received a message from Skillselect 10 days ago saying that my EOI will expire in 20 days if i don't apply for a VISA.I was confused as I had already had applied and paid in September. I then received a notice from DIBP today indicating that my EOI has been suspended as I have lodged a VISA application. If my VISA is refused or granted, I will not be able to submit another EOI.Have any of you received this information? Can I take it that all is in order and moving forward?Just got a fright when I saw that the EOI has been suspended. Your feedback is appreciated - thank you!

RosemaryC Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi SE1508I think they are just automated messages that go out to everybody. We got them and just assumed they were automated. And we were right because eventually we did get our visas granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstyS Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Duanevc, my brother in law has gone through the process with Engineering Australia. Sadly they take their time. I think it took something like 15 weeks and now they have to redo it. And they only post it so the postal service screwed them over as well.

Tazzn Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Ah is that what is taking the time... it's the extra bows and ribbons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzn Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Feeling a bit despondent . At the end of this week it will be 3 months from the date we lodged out 189 application. Has anyone's 189 VISA taken longer than the average 3 months that they say it will take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neburr Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hi TazznJust stick it out . I am sure that it won't be much longer .If you don't mind me asking, how many points and what occupation have you used to support your application?

Tazzn Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks Neburr... promised myself I wouldn't get impatient but can't help it.We have 75points with the occupation of Agricultural consultant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neburr Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ouch!!I would have guessed with 75 points this is a slam dunk .I am sure that they are preparing your visa in gold script with that many points . It is on the way, promise Try cheer up. Once you have the visa, this will be a distant memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazzn Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks Neburr suppose that's a bit of what is making me nervous - thought this part would be a breeze and now the agonizing wait. Oh well...all in good time I suupose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SE1508 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hi TazznPerhaps you have submitted everything that they need and you will receive a VISA grant without needing a CO. Praying that you here the wonderful news soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
