I have 1 question:

Apart from the priority occupations, how are applications get selected for the grants/final round?
Is it again based on max points or the date of lodged....? or any other criteria? Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks.
 
Hi all,

I lodged my 190 visa for Victoria on 30th Sep'22. I got a CO contact asking for more details this morning.
He requested medicals to be done again for my partner and myself.

The medicals were done in Feb'22 including HIV test. Can i ask CO for a reason for this request again? I understand its over 1 year.

Also requested my partner's AFP again as we renewed her passport in Dec'22. AFP was initially done in Sept'22. No name has been changed.

Will appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,
Aman.
We can inform, request CO and wait for his response.

Hi friend! I used to live in USA for 8yrs till 2023Jan. Do I need to just submit FBI clearance or State/local PCCs also? I lived in 3 states in 8yrs recent one is California for 2yrs. If State/local PCC is mandatory, then do I need to submit my last state PCC or all the three states ? Thanks

No matter, how many people you request, the answer is gonna be one.

FBI federal would suffice. Whatever damage you did, it happened accidentally. You did not hurt an individual. Only when CO requests you for a state PCC, which usually they wouldn’t, please take help from an immigration attorney.
Only the attorney would have the exemption information for accidental mistakes.
All the best and do not stress for what happened in the past and when you were young and not matured as of now.

Medicals are valid only for one year. You have to do again. Without them, they may not grant visa.

Dear friend! I applied for FBI clearance and I received clean record 😀, that case has not been popped up in FBI clearance. I hired a migration lawyer and he advised me I need not to disclose that “property damage case” since it’s not showing in FBI. However, lawyer is not confident whether the CO asks state PCC or not. So I am trying to see in this forum if any expert people like you knows/or asked by CO to provide state PCCs apart from FBI clearance.

Change your name and credentials here if V is your real name, so as to stay clear of all forums. What happened, happened already, be careful and all the best.

I have not heard or read anywhere for state clearance. FBI federal will suffice. Forget whatever happened, you can’t change it now.

Yeah I will change now. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's over an year that's why they are asking. You could be served with same reason if you ask. Instead, If you get medicals done, you could get grant soon.
 
Hello everyone, i need a little suggestion if someone can help with their experience.
My sister have positive skill assessment for Market Research Analyst from VETASSESS.
But she is waiting from 8 months and didn’t get invite. Now she’s planning to change the occupation and apply for corporate services manager. My concern is, assessing authority is same, if she modifies the duties accordingly and manages to get new experience letters from the company, will VETASSSESS accepts it as earliest her job duties were little different from the new one’s. Or she would have to provide same documents as before and just need to change the occupation?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
 
Does anyone know what the best time is to try and get priority processing for a VETASSES skills assessment? Their website says they only give out 55 per day. Does the daily quota start at midnight or 9am?

What is the reason for your visa cancellation?
 
But i received notification of US visa cancelation after I retuned to India.In that case how could have I received the detention??
You must have broke any immigration law, that’s why your visa was revoked. However, since you were not tried at immigration court, you need not to worry now.
