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?

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?

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 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.

There are two reasons for delay in my visa processing. Firstly, my wife had to postpone her PCC appointments couple of times due to her work requirements. Secondly, my case officer asked for reference letters from all my employers and one employer gave the reference after number of follow ups. I lost total 45 days on these, therefore it took complete 100 days from application to visa grant.

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.

If anybody don't claim work experience point does he need to get reference letter from the employer?

I guess it is not required for applicants not claiming work experience.

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.

Thanks Djawalker,
Already applied for PCC. Waiting on the invitation now to generate HAP ID. Another question if you know, I am currently onshore in Australia. Do I have to exit and re-enter Australia after grant of PR?

TIA

So far i know no need to exit and re-enter. Just do report to the state accordingly.
WA experts may shed more light on this issue.

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,

Can you share docs required for dependent spouse. I have lodged application 190 on 22nd Jan.

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

Do you know if this quota is for the number of grants in a month? Applicable to 190 or 189 or both?

Occupational ceiling is applicable for 189 visa grant.

Check SkillSelect for 189 quota status.

For 190, the quota system is not official but internally they maintain it.

Any update?
Anybody got assigned case officer?

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.
