May 2019 Visa 189/190/489

auyeah

@Linetdane Unfortunately, yung payment po ay hindi makaka guarantee ng successful grant. Pero if truthful naman po ang lahat ng details na nasa application and na provide naman lahat ng requirements na hiningi nila, most likely ay positive naman ang magiging result

auyeah

@alegnallanes Baka mas marami po makatulong sa inyo sa thread na to:

Kumusta Po? grabe, nag hihintay pa rin ako. 4 months and counting... bat kaya matagal.

auyeah

@tmasuncion Patapus na kasi yung fiscal year and nagka election din. Kahit sa invites nag slow down din, 100 lang ang maiinvite later. Lapit na yan, kaunting tiis nalang

auyeah

Only 100 applicants got invited in the last invitation round for 189, they were mostly high pointers with at least 85 points.

@auyeah Hi! oo, lodged na rin. Waiting game na rin kami.

tmasuncion

@auyeah ganon po bah? cge, thanks po sa update. oo sana nga malapit nah. as per DHA sa website nila, 6 to 7 months daw yung processing time sa visa 189. but nasa 4th month pa ako, kasi kapag lalagpas ako nyan, mag papanic na talaga ako. lol!

tmasuncion

@markier87 do yung thing sa waiting game score din ang basihan nila?

tmasuncion

@auyeah wow grabe 85 points???? ang laki ah!

lecia

@tmasuncion wag ka magpanic batchmate! Baka ma nerbyos din ako nyan..

markier87

@tmasuncion I'm not too sure with that. What I know is yung iba mas mabilis kesa iba depende sa mga documents na naprovide nila. Just make sure it is always easier for the CO to go through the documents.

@LovellaEllen thank you mam. actually, naghihintay pa lang kami ng results ng assessment. so kaya nagtitingin naa kami ng mga possible scenarios if ever, ang nagreresearch na ano ang mga susunod na steps. Mukhang maabutan po kami ng reset ng fiscal year na July 1, kasi sabi sa assessment 8-10 weeks daw ang processing. kakasend lang po namin nitong June. Ano po ba usually yung nagiging changes sa reset ng fiscal year?

auyeah

@tmasuncion lapit na yan may mga na grant na sa Feb batch. Kami medyo tagal pa hehehe!

Regarding po sa tanung mo kay @markier87. Tanung ko din po ito before. Ito yung nacompile ko na information on Invitation Processing time and Visa Processing time from Department of Home Affairs

INVITATION PROCESS

Invitation process and cut offs
The highest ranked clients by points score are invited to apply for the relevant visa. For clients who have equal points scores, the time at which they reached their points score for that subclass (referred to as the date of effect) determines their order of invitation. Expressions of Interest with earlier dates of effect are invited before later dates.

VISA PROCESS

Processing times are impacted each month by changes in application volumes, seasonal peaks, complex cases, and incomplete applications

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT AFFECT VISA PROCESSING TIMES
We assess applications on a case-by-case basis, and actual processing times can vary due to individual circumstances including:
* whether you have lodged a complete application, including all necessary supporting documents
* how promptly you respond to any requests for additional information
* how long it takes to perform required checks on the supporting information provided
* how long it takes to receive additional information from external agencies, particularly in relation to health, character, and national security requirements
* for permanent migration visa applications, how many places are available in the migration programme
* for citizenship applications, the time taken to attend a Citizenship Ceremony or receive a Citizenship Certificate.

Priority Processing
Where there is very high demand for places under the Migration Program, processing priority is given to applicants who have the most compelling claims in terms of the government's policy priorities.
The current processing priorities (with highest priority listed first) are:
1. applicants sponsored under the Regional Sponsor Migration Scheme
2. applicants sponsored under the Employer Nomination Scheme
3. applicants nominated by a state or territory government agency
4. applicants who have nominated an occupation on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)
5. all other applications

Based on my understanding, the points score plays a significant role during the Invitation process. The higher the score, the sooner the invite. Pero it was not mentioned na it would be the same during the visa processing. Based on the factors listed in the Home affairs website, I haven’t found any information na nagsabi that the points score ay nakaka affect sa pagbilis o pagbagal ng visa processing time unlike sa invitation process na explicitly na sinabi yung about sa ranking - high pointers get prioritized. This is just my own understanding, baka may mga nasearch din yung iba regarding this

tmasuncion

@auyeah wow ! thanks po for the comprehensive response. hehehe
cguro yung volume lang talaga ng mga applicants these days kaya matagal.
anyway, hopefully malapit na nga. 4 months and counting na kasi. pa ubos na mag feb batch :P

tmasuncion

@lecia hahaha! hawak kamay lang tayo batchmate! hahaha kaya natin to!

lecia

@tmasuncion oo hawak kamay nating aabangan ang grant mo this week! Nagpahabol pa ako ng payslips at tax assessment notice ko last Friday. Keep praying!!

tmasuncion

@lecia buti hindi na ako hiningian ng tax assessment. yung hinabol ko lang is yung Singapore ko na Police Clearance. but pala may tax assessment?

lecia

@tmasuncion hindi pa ako na CO, nagdagdag lng ako ng tax assessment as dagdag sa proof of employment ko, parang ITR pag nasa Pinas..

tmasuncion

@lecia oh I see. got it! anyway, good luck sa aten!

louiselaaane

Question po, kapag ba na update yung points mo automatically sa eoi mo dahil sa experience, kailangan mo din ba i-resubmit yung eoi mo or hindi na po kailangan? Salamat po.

auyeah

@louiselaaane Automatic po na nag aadjust yung current working experience as long as wala po kayong nilagay na end date. No need to resubmit na po.

djive012

Yung mga nakareceive po ng invite for visa type 190, kelan po kayo naglodge ng eoi?

anastasia.salvador

Hi question po. I am getting married next month, should I wait til after the wedding to submit eoi para married na ang status or ok lang na single muna?

JohndAU

this made my day! ...I've read your comments today @mabelledita. Congratulations!
We are on the same profession. All along, I thought they have also stopped inviting even those at 80 pts before SS for 190, sometime around March based on Immitracker.. Currently at 75 pts and my addtl 5 partner pts is still a WIP but more hopeful now seeing your case. All the best on your visa processing!

karlboy

Anyone with saktong 65 pts for 189/190 na 263111 ANZ code nakapag lodge ng EOI po dito?

ali0522

Ano po kayang estimated time for the grant natin sa MAY 2019 BATCH?

auyeah

@djive012 afaik March and April po na EOI

auyeah

@anastasia.salvador You can lodge an EOI now then update nalang your status and dependent next month

mabelledita

@JohndAU thank you and goodluck! Pray lang lagi, kaya yan.

cacophony

@auyeah @anastasia.salvador I have a similar dilemma due to condition 8515. I want to propose to my girlfriend within the year. And if invite comes before engagement, may possibility po kayang baguhin yung civil status from "never married" to "engaged" sa ImmiAccount?
