Can I apply for 190 after given 475 ?

[gillofrompk]

Hi All,
As u can see in my signature that i have 475 visa which i plan to validate in January. I see that now as Points have decreased to 60 and i have fulll 3 yr overseas experience i can make the points for PR State sponser which i plan to take the same state (South Australia) as it has already given me for 475. My question is:

Can i go for PR 176(now 190) as i have 475.
If i get rejected due to any reason , will it have any effect on current visa??
DO i have to do Meds and PCC again or current can be used.
Having 475 , can reduce the time for 190 or not??


Help from experienced members like Anj, stormgal needed...

You can put in an EOI and may or may not be invited. It won't have any effect on your current visa unless you are granted a new visa. Or you could just wait, fulfil the obligations of the 475 then apply for 475.
I wouldn't apply for SS for a different state to your 475 because they may not accept you because you have already accepted SS for elsewhere for 475 showing you may not be comitted to the state you are applying.

Hi All

Can I apply for 190 after being granted 475 ?

If i travel on 475 to Australia , will it have any affect on 190 as one have to update address t o DIAC and i will be applying offshore. ?

I will be grateful for your replies.

You can make an expression of interest and can apply if you are invited but you may not be invited. In the mean time if you do not comply with the terms of your 475 you will not be able to move on to the next stage applying for PR.

Processing Time for 190 Visa is Six months, right ?? Can any one confirm.

i recently get, 475 visa, so i do not comply with conditions of 475 ( staying in regional areas rather than main cities), even then if invited for 190 Visa ( as i already applied for WA SS 190 visa applications to WA)..... so fet invited to 190 visa & log new applications..... then my 190 visa will be approved/ reject in 6 months .....

At worst case, if do not get 190 approved ... even then 2 1/2 years + one additional year ... to comply with 475 vis conditions for PR ............

Please suggest ..

You are jumping to conclusions on how long it will take for you to receive an invite and how long it will take to process if and when you do get an invite.

You can not also assume you will be given an extra year to comply with your 475. It is not something you automatically get it is something you ask for and can be denied. For example DIAC believe you are not and have not been genuinely attempting to live and work in a regional area.

I don't know what it is with visa grabbers. You already have a perfectly good visa and just have to comply with the conditions you agreed to. There are limited numbers of visas and applicant outstrip the amount available. Many people would love to be in your shoes only for you to waste it when they could be making use of it.

Thankyou -Shel for sharing your views. I regard your comment being granted 475. Just to minimize the uncertainty , I am thinking over these lines. Can you pl comment on the following

If i travel on 475 .. will it have an affect over 190 if i am given invitation to applyas i contacted local high commission and they told that i can apply but at the time finalization of application i should be in home country.

Thanking in anticipation

Hi Gillo

Same case here and same respondent. Thanks to _ Shel.

I had three years experience but not complete docs from previous company ( has docs of 2years and 7 months from current employer) due to which i optd for 475 and granted (AH). But now i am also thinking to apply for 190 and have the same Queries as yours.

Kindly share any update if u get on this matter.

Kind Regards
