mistermoose Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 So I DID hear back today, but not the grant just yet. I had a reply from the processing team to my status enquiry:"Thank you for your e-mail in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program. At present your application is undergoing routine processing. Unfortunately, ensuring all the legal requirements are met in relation to an application can take some time. You will be contacted if we require additional information to process your application.We appreciate your patience in this matter."It's something I guess Have a great weekend all! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneldari Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi allFirst of all good luck to everyone, hope the wait is not too long. It is most definitely worth it. Questions: how long after you submitted your EOI, did you receive an invitation to lodge your 189 visa app? And, if I may ask, how many points did you have? Does applications with higher points or specific occupations get priority?Thank you so much!CheersAneldari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
