    Hi Everyone, I just need some clarity on the processing time for 190 visa. I got my invite for Geotechnical Engineer for NSW 190, I was wondering if my application is eligible for priority processing since my skill is in PMSOL. If yes, then what is the processing time for that? If no, then...

    Hello, I am about to apply for SET (M) on the five-year route. My current visa expires on 6th December and we are planning to submit the online application this weekend (13-14th November). I'm hoping to do the super priority/1 day service but I gather it is difficult to find appointments and...

    Hi all, I hope this finds you well and safe. I'm finishing my online application for 5 year route settlement, and on the "PAY" section it doesn't give me the option to choose any of the priority services. The only one available is the up to 6 months wait. I checked the home office website...

    Hi All, I, like many found this forum too late and only came across it AFTER my husband submitted his application. However, we were granted the visa on the first try within 7 working days (priority) so I thought I would share my experience in the hopes of helping someone else. My timeline...

    Hello! I haven’t seen a running thread for this topic, so I hope I’m not repeating anything by posting this question. I submitted an application for a partner visa in late 2015 and was rejected over fixable issues. I have since resubmitted for a spouse visa (strongly address those issues) that...
