Shanette Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 SoSorry for this but 189 is the independent residency right? Or is it the state nominated visa? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanuts Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi ShanetteThe 189 is the skilled independant visa.The 190 is the state nominated one. Both will give you permanent residency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAPelser Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi HermanLJAre you applying as a family or as one single person? I think if you apply as a family they ask for form 80?Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanette Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but as far as my research has shown, it depends on your points. The more you have the more you are a priority for them. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORC Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I spoke to DIBP - I lodged 22nd May. 65 points.It depends mainly on your anzsco code, country and points... then how many applicants, age, pcc expiry etc. That's what they claim.They said mine is due very shortly for processing.That was yesterday.

Wannagonow Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Case officer assigned today, 30/07/2015 ​ (application was lodged on 09/06/2015). CO requested Form 80's and PCC's for both wife and myself. (applied for PCC's 07/07/2015 via Nevetec so hopefully won't be long now so we can submit within 28 days). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPanda Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm also curious about form 80? Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtheronsa Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 @RedPanda aka Firefox and anybody else looking for answers. The question you ask is really one without a true answer, from my experience at least. I personally filled Form80 out and uploaded before being asked and received a direct grant. The reason being, is that under certain circumstances, the DIBP does ask for it and this is a given. So why waste their time, upload it so they don't ask, thereby fascilitating the process. Also given say two months since visa lodgement, I would suggest contacting the DIBP (Dont be afraid they are nice folks), and simply ask them "Is everything in order". I noticed that this immediately brings "you" to their attention which is positive either way. Just make sure that everything you provide is truthful and that you have evidence to back it up one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazzac Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 We were also asked for form 80 two days ago. Submitted it immediately and received our visas today! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
