Super congrats. 

 

We submitted on the 27/03 but they only received it (and took our money)on the 01/04 so hopefully, we will get some feedback soon. 

 

Congrats again with yours and good luck with the "packing up" stage. when are you planning on leaving?

Congrats!!

 

Can someone maybe read this article and tell me their thoughts?

 

https://visanews.com.au/2017/05/subclass-189-invitation-limits-reached-for-accountants-and-other-occupations/

 

From what I can read, no more grants for accountants will take place until July as the ceiling has been reached?

Isn't it just for invites?

Iam sure that quotas are on invites not grants . So yes they might have already used up the quota but if you were invited and lodged then there should still be visas available.

Hi everybody, this forum as gone too quiet. How are you all doing out there?

 

To @HonestPiney @MargotOrch @Leeloo44, how are things progressing since you received your visa grants?

 

we have given this process until end of July, then we have to move on with our lives and decisions.

Hi guys,

 

still crossing fungers and toes for you all!

 

we moved to Aus 2 years ago on a 457 but we only able to apply for our 189 thus year (due a number of factors). Since the visa grant, we have been able to apply for Medicare and centrelink which is helping us. It's also given us piece of mind that there is no visa expiry date and we can continue living here indefinitely and not bound to one employer.

 

Hang in there - it is worth the wait and trust me, way better than living here on a 457.
