JessJ Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thanks Wallyengles!Seems the Department has got its groove on! We will be seeing many more happy posts soon! Damn Munchkin! I hope they fix the mistakes ASAP! Wish I had a contact for you (like with the Birth certificates), but we did it through DocAssist.Maybe if you don't come right in a week, call Docassist? Maybe they will charge less than the full fee to just help with a mistake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneW Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Congrats JessJ, wow that was very quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkin Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 The lady at PCC offices said 4 days and then we will send courier again. So another week delay. But as long as the docs are correct I don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkin Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 And tomorrow is the big day for everyone else on here. Really thinking of you guys.We had a month delay because our agent made a mistake so I know the frustration of waiting for the invite.

Most of us here are going for the Australia VISA so not sure about other countries.What I would recommend is to see if their applications are all online. If so it should be easy enough to do it yourself. But we are using an agent and if I knew about this forum for Australia earlier we would have skipped the agent.Best of luck with your decision. PS Australia also want electricians if I'm not mistakenAny invites this morning???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSA Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Nope no invite this morning. The wait sadly continues... Hopefully somebody got an invite so at least we have an idea of which dates of submission are currently being invited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduan Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Does anyone know if the 190 invites run in the same invitation rounds as the 189's?I lodges EOI for a 190, as we are pretty sure where we would like to go...Lodged 2 weeks ago.

TashyL Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hey Eduan,Which state did you apply to? I applied with NSW. They invite on random dates and look at select based on points, then English, then work experience. The last time I checked on other forums they were only inviting 70 pointers.I applied on 5 Aug and got my nomination invite 28th Aug and final invite on 2 Oct.
