Hi,

I have few queries for 190 visa lodging.

1) I have to show work exp of 2 companies. From 1st company, I have relieving letters, exp letters, hike letters, offer letter, reference letter, Form 16 and payslips of last 6 months in that company. From 2nd company which is current company, I have offer letter, hike letter, reference letter, Form 16 and payslips from April 2015 to till date.
Do I need to have all months payslips, or the above mentioned letters are good to submit?

2) I have 2 tax return statements of Denmark, and they are in Danish. Respective payslips are also in Danish.
Can anyone suggest Danish to English translators in Bangalore, India? and the requirements for the format of translated document?

Visa 190

Hi friends, good evening.

I am in the middle of the way to apply for the 190 visa. I am about to finish my career assessments. I am still studying to get the 7 band score on ielts exam.

As everyone here know, to hire a agent to apply to this visa is very expensive (about 3200 AUD). Does someone know how to do this application? Can you share your experience with me?

I have visa till 20th june 2016, and I hope to apply for this visa untill March.

Thanks for your attention,

Caio Barreto :) :fingerscrossed:

Hi ,

I have filled my EOI for SA with 80 +5 points on 4th Jan 2017 ,the code is 225113 (marketing specialist) . There were a few queries asked by the case officer from immigration SA last week ,to which I answered with required documents etc .

I have not heard from them yet ,though I was expecting a response and a closure last week only ,crossing my finger and expecting a positive response this week . In their website they have given a timeline of 6 weeks ,I am not sure why have they not acted on my EOI yet .

can anyone help and let me know basis their knowledge and experience if all is on track .Do I write to the case officer or its a bit early now and wait for some more time .

Dear All,
This thread is created to bring in those who are launching visa from the month of January 2016.

So far from the beginning of this year until now no case officer being assigned for most of the visa application. .:confused2::confused2:

Hi All,

I am a B.E. graduate in Electrical stream & working as as software tester with approx 10.5yrs of work experience.I want to get my ACS Skill assessment done under category VISA - 189 "Software Engineer" - ANZSCO Code "261313" as the category of "software tester" is now removed from Skilled Occupations List (SOL) & is only available under C-SOL list which is VISA 190.

Has anyone got ACS done for SE recently? Can someone help , how to prepare/modify reference letter to qualify as Software Engineer?Also can anyone educate me on whether I should go for this category or not?

It would be of great help, if someone can provide guidance.

Thanks
Regards

I am in the process of assessing my skills and qualifications as well as experience from Vetassess. I am doing that within visa subclass 190 for Queensland nomination. Do you think going for Visa subclass 190 since I have a Queensland PhD under Australian Leadership Award (paid Phd research) , is better than going for skills independent visa subclass 189?

Your input and experience is appreciated.
 
#9 ·
189 will give you more freedom while 190 limit you within the state only. If your occupation is on SOL, it's better to go for 189 depending your point.

Hi all,
Warm greetings of the day !!!


I have also lodged my visa application in January 2016, I am awaiting to get a case officer assigned and review the case, it's been too much Patience testing. Just keeping fingers crossed to receive some update this week or early next week for the progress.

Good to see this forum created specially for 190 visa category so that we all can keep a track of how the case officers are moving on by getting assigned and providing grants.

Hi Gourangshah,

Thanks bro.
So far i never find anybody got case officer.
Definitely it's the real test of patience.
Keep in touch and maintain the track.

Dear Mates,
I heard for 190 visa there are certain numbers of quotas for each financial years. Normally after January these quotas get lesser and lesser.
So after lodging Visa it's not sure still need to wait for suitable quota or not.
Can somebody clarify this?
 
#20 ·
Hi djwalkar,

Why so late? did you submit all documents together before CO being assigned? or Later upon request of CO?

Some people still getting their visa very fast even within one month.

189 visa applied on January some already get direct grant, some get contacted with CO.
But so far 190 visa applicant haven't communicated by CO.

Any reason?
 
#22 ·
Hi all,

I have the same question as to how is a CO assigned for 189 / 190, i have recently seen many direct grants under 189, not sure much for 190. However, it is also witnessed where some cases have taken more than 100 days to process while some have received within 10 to 15 days.

Can someone share a light on this as how has the processing of visa applications recently moved. Are they now slower for 190 visa applications or are they waiting to give direct grants to those applicants who front load all the documents on the visa webpage?
 
#25 ·
I am worried for the quota. However, DIBP always says quota system is not applicable to 190 application but still internally they maintain quota .
One of my friend in February 2015 received reply from case officer stating no quota for that finc year. Thereafter in July he got approval after new quota open.

He was sponsored by NSW.

Can we submit 2 applications for ACT sponsorship at the same time?

Hi. I have submitted state sponsorship application to ACT for visa 190 last week.

I have submitted all required documents and as a residency proof submitted my Bank statement of last three months. Now I wish that I should have submitted my house lease documents and husband's employment proof and my daughter school letter stating that she is admitted in school for next year to ensure them that I have a genuine intention to live in Canberra for next two years. Is only submitting bank statement enough?

I was just wondering if can we submit two application at the same time so I submit application again with all above mentioned documents.

Hi,
I will be lodging my 190 for WA in a day or two. can someone describe me the steps they go through once the application is launched. For example when can we get the Medical done? Do we have to wait for the CO appointment to get the medicals and PCC done? What's the usual procedure?
TIA

You do not need to wait for CO's request for your PCC and Medicals.
Medicals can be completed once you receive HAP ID after submitting your application and paying your VISA fees. PCC appointment can be initiated right now. If you front load all documents, then chances are you'll get a direct visa grant without CO requesting more information.
 
#33 ·
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of documents which we need to upload for 190 application. I mean, are there any additional documents(except PCC and medicals) required than which were submitted for assessment ?
2. Is Children birth certificate must or passport will suffice for age proof?

Thanks in Advance

#37 ·

myimmitracker.com suggests nobody who lodged a 190 in Jan 2016 has received a grant or even been contacted by CO, which is disappointing considering numerous 189 applications lodged in Jan have already received direct grants.

Not sure the reason for this considering 190 applications are supposed to receive priority over 189 ?

Exactly.
But i checked with a well reputed migration agent regrading 189 and 190 issue.
According to them 189 has priority over 190, however DIBP always says 190 is faster than 189.
But reality quite different.

Hi friends,

I am trying to attach some more documents on the immi website. But, i am receiving an error as:
"The file you have selected is not of an accepted type.
Only the following type/s are accepted: application/vnd.ms-excel,image/pjpeg,text/richtext,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,image/jpeg,image/png,application/dicom,text/plain,image/bmp,image/gif,image/x-dicom,application/msword,application/rtf,application/x-rtf,application/pdf."

I mean, I am not able to upload the pdf file, i tried the older one's which i had already uploaded but still the error is the same.

Can anyone highlight what can be the issue or has anyone come across the same issue. Please share. I believe it can be because of 2 reasons:
1. A case officer has been assigned and is reviewing the case and therefore has locked any uploads further until additionally requested by him
2. Site error temporarily to upload any document on Saturday or So and faced by everyone currently uploading it.

Please share your experiences. It shall be helpful for everyone going ahead.

Sometimes happens due to some bug in the webisite itself. Try the usual steps, refreshing and logging out and logging in.

Hi friends,

Today, I was filling up form 1221 for myself. I was cross checking with Form 80 which i had already filled up and uploaded. I came across a small mistake that i had made in Form 80.

I had claimed an employment experience from Feb 2007 to Nov 2010 which was written correctly in form 80. However, in the last page i.e. additional information, i had provided details of unemployment period for which by mistake i had written that i was unemployed from Oct 2010 to Feb 2011 instead of writing Dec 2010 to Feb 2011.

Will this impact my assessment or should i do anything about this by filling up the whole form 80, or providing correct details of last page and uploading it again or should i fill up form 1023.

However, skills assessment by vetasses has given me 6.3 years and included my correct experience upto Nov 2010.

Can anyone share any idea on this as it is really worrying me. Seniors, please share some light on this as what needs to be done.

I think on the application home page there is an option to "update us" where you can inform the department of any changes or incorrect information provided. Try putting your information there. I am sure they will consider it. I have never used it but if there's an option you can upload the corrected form 80. Hope it helps.

I haven't got my Vetassess report yet, but I have exchanged important communication with them.
1. They informed me they approved my urgency request.
2. They also said the same assessment can be used for both Subclass 189 and 190. According to QLD immigration, I am eligible as my occupation is on the consilidated list. However, some say my occupation which is University Lecturer is not available for 189.

Based on this information, what do you think would be my best visa option, 189 or 190?
Look forward for your opinion on this issue.
 
#53 ·
If your nominated occupation is on csol list then you are only eligible to apply for visa 190 or 489. Visa 189 is only available for sol occupations.

Hi everyone,

I have started my application on 06th Feb with NSW SS stream 190. Lets see when there is positive news ... Any good guess , approx when i have chance ?


ANZSCO Code: 261111 (Business Analyst)
DIBP Point: 65 ( Age-30, Work Exp: 10 English: 10, Education: 15)
ACS: Aug 2015
English Test: Jan 2016
EOI Lodged: Feb 2016 (Seeking NSW nomination)

You have high chance to get invitation within two months since your point is 70 (including ss)

I did IELTS with overall band of 7. (Reading 7.5, Writing 6.5, Listening 6.5 , Speaking 8). So, I am not getting any point since it's not 7 from all 4 bands.

However, I get 20 for education+ 10 for Australia work experience, QLD nomination 10+ age 15 + Australia atudy requirement 5. That's 60. I might get more for experience in my country. So waiting for Vetassess outcome.

What do you think? If I get 60 + points, should I submit EOI without doing IELTS again?
 
#59 ·
Without QLD point -10, u have 50 which make u eligible for 489
If u want to apply for 190, u need to have 55 of your own.
 
#60 ·
Any tips/suggestions for filling form 80. TIA.
 
#66 ·
Just to on safer side I would suggest upload the educational degree/certificates if they have mentioned on form 1221 and 80.
I Have a question regarding photo submission? Is there any guide line regarding it?
