Hi Guys,

How to check if there is available slot for visa 190 NSW? Im considering to submit EOI for 190 since there is a backlog for 70 pointers for accountants. I submitted EOI for 189 few days ago with 70 pts. Is the invitation faster for 190 than 189? Thanks.
 
#655 · (Edited)
The 190 route will definitely be faster! Very happy with my decision to go that route as my visa is now lodged and I am waiting for a CO to approve.

Submitted my 190 EOI 12 Oct with 70+5pts, received a nomination 29 Oct, SkillSelct invite 19 Oct and lodged my visa 20 Oct. Apparently CO's get allocated to 190 applications within 3-4 weeks at the moment.

Submitted an 189 EOI with 70pts back in August, and would still be waiting to lodge my visa.

:) Good luck!

Hi guys,

Just an update from my side so that folks will have some general ideas about their own situation

Date of EOI: 11/11/2015 (General Accountant)
Points: 65+5 (SS) with PTE score 79+ all :D
Received Invitation to apply for nomination from NSW: 26/11/15 :)
Paid $ 300 dollar and applied for Nomination :28/11/15
Eagerly awaiting the approval from NSW:fingerscrossed:

Hi guys, can you please help me with this question? there is mixed answers about if two eois can be submitted, 1 for 189 and 1 for 190 for same visa subclass. is there any official written statement anywhere where it says that you can or cannot submit more than 1 eoi. Has anybody experienced any problem in doing so? If i get an invite for any 1 of the eoi submitted then will the other eoi freeze or will it still be open for invitation. if the system automatically suspends or freezes the other eoi, then i don't think there should be any problem with it.

I have got my assessment done as Management accountant from ICAA and file EOI for 190 with 75 points. I did notice that other people who have filed later than me have got invitation in general accountant.
I also read about few people on this forum , not getting invite under management accountant since jul.
Now, i want to get myself reassessed as General accountant.
Please advice whether i can file two different EOI under two diff category.
And should i get reassessment from ICAA or CPA to avoid getting my earlier assessment void.
Please share your views.
I dont want to drop my current EOI under mgt accountant

I think you should wait a few more days. You have waited only 10 days for 190.
Invitation for 190 does not have any cut off date. So whether you applied 3 months before or 3 days before does not make your invitation process any faster.
based on the opinion in this forum, i tend to believe, you need couple of things that can warrant you a place in 190 :
1. YOu have 65+5 points ( atleast )
2. You got to have Ielts 8 or PTE 79+
N.B. You would still get a invitation even if you dont have ielts 8 or PTE 79 given that, you have gained points from work experience.

It depends which subjects you took during your studies.
Check the list of required subjects on CPA/ICA website and check whether you studied all of those.
Then, if you believe you satisfy their requirements but you're not 100% sure you might request a Skilled migration skilled employment only which costs AU$130 (I think that's the name, but better double check with other experts).

Hi guys,
If any of you can answer my query that would be great.
I have accepted 190 NSW nomination (75 points) today and i will be going overseas for 3 months next week. so most probably i will get my 190 invitation when i am abroad. I will submit all my documents off-shore as i have all my documents,pcc and medicals done recently. so will i be recieving a bridging visa when i am off-shore? I however don't need a bridging visa as my current 485 visa is valid till december of next year (2016). so can i travel back to australia with my 485 visa or my 190 visa if it is granted while i am still overseas?
 
#678 ·
HI
There are some points regarding bridging visas
1: bridging visa comes to an effect when any substantial visa expires
2: Bridging visa do not allow you to travel
3: in some special circumstances bridging visa B is approved which allows a candidate to travel.
I hope this information answered your query.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. so i can travel freely as the bridging visa will not come into effect till my current visa expires (which is next year December) as i will be back by february. Is that correct?

how much time did it take you to receive 190 i have been waiting for 190 on 65 points on general accountant but going to get assessed now for auditor

Hi. We have the same situation 70+5pts. I applied last week for 189. And seeing the invitations for 189 it seems that there is a backlog so I submitted EOI for 190 NSW. Im also worried about 189. I want to know from the experts in this forum the chances of getting invited by this month? By the way, how did u know that the next invitation for 190 is 14 Dec?


QUOTE=qader.adil;8881346]Hey everyone,
I'm little worried about the 189 trend for 70 points and have applied for 190 NSW eoi today making it 70+5. Was just hoping if anyone know's if it's possible to get it by the round on 14 Dec for 75 points?[/QUOTE]
 
#705 ·
Hey CPAU,

Sorry for the delay. As far as the trend goes there is a high chance to be accepted with 70+5 for the NSW eoi. The invitations come out on Dec 18 and not 14, my bad. You can check them at Skillselect.

Hi Sgamba and ankit_smart, I have done some research, please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, I am targeting to get 65p. From what you said, I will try to get Skill assessment from CPA, English score. Then I can apply for NSW without experience (I am working in retail). After I get nomination from NSW, I can apply for PR? Thanks for your help.
 
#701 ·
Yes you are correct but instead of CPA get your assessment done from ICA. Because CPA mostly give exams to people.
 
#702 ·
Hi all, is there a chance I could get an invitation before the year ends? Currently I have 70 points and if luckily given an invitation it would be 75. Unfortunately, my agent has misled me on this. It's a good thing I have done my research. Anyone in the same boat?
 
#703 ·
Hi Samne. We are in the same situation. I have 70pts for 189 and 75pts for 190. I submitted my EOI last week. I want to know the chances of getting invited before the year ends.

Hey All,

Got some queries for 190:
- I've seen in a lot of forums in regards to the obligation to stay in the particular state but have found people on side telling it's just a moral obligation but others telling that it can affect your future citizenship application. Any takes or real life example of someone who has done this?
- My wife who will be the secondary applicant, does she have to enter Australia through the state which sponsors us or she can join me in Melbourne?

I have spoken to my friend who is in australia for 5 years he was also telling me the same that it is just a moral obligation. One of his friend got visa from Perth but never entered in Perth but I don't know anything about citizenship. I will get back to on this, but it will take time.

I have received the nomination on 26 Nov from NSW.
EOI submitted 190 70 points on 23 Nov
Filled form on 3 Dec still waiting for the final approval.
 
#734 ·
Okay here's a question for all you accountants out there regarding claiming work experience points.
Can a qualified Chartered Accountant engaged in teaching Financial Accounting, Management Accounting and Cost Accounting to undergraduate and postgraduate students at university level (Full time permanent employment as Assistant Professor) claim work experience points under General Accountant Category? Will this be considered as closely related to Accounting occupation since they are core accounting subjects?
Looking forward to a reply!

Hi everyone,

I filed my EOI on the 21st of August under (221111 - General Accountant) with 65 points
I still have not gotten an invitation. I have read that dibp has increased the point requirements.

"The Points Required for Accountants are Going UP!

According to the latest invitation round (7 September 2015) results, accountants are only receiving Invitations to Apply (ITA) if:

The application scored 70 points or more (65 points required in the previous round), and
The application was lodged in August 2015 or earlier"

I was just wondering if I still have a chance getting an invitation until my current visa runs out (485 Graduate Visa Exp: 31 May 2016)

Thanks!

Hey guys

I have seen yesterday in this forum that someone was talking about the restriction that state impose in state nomination case to stay work and live in state for two years.

Is it a legal obligation ? Becoz someone was saying that it is only a moral obligation. What if we do not stay in nominating state?

Please share your thoughts.
 
#737 ·
There is no legal condition on a 190 visa that requires you to live or work in the state that nominated you. You do make this agreement with the state, so it is a moral obligation. But there is no consequence currently if you live/work elsewhere.
