ay nagstart na din pala sila for april lodgment 🙏

hangang June na po ang 491. 190 is until march 27 palang paubos na ang allocation.

sorry di ko getchy haha wdym?

yung planning level po which is grant allocation is paubos na..

ahhhh tysm!

Luh , waiting game mode muna , wag maiinip! Ang mainip talo haha

im hopeful na sana umabot tayo bago maubos yung allocation this FY 🥺🙏 pero grabe ang onti na lang ng natiraaaa!! ganyan din ba last FY?

Since nag update ng max processing time ang 190 from 9 mos before to 12 mos, I don't expect na aabot pa kami sa allocation this financial year.. abang abang nalng sa 2024-2025 planning haha. Waiting game talaga, kaya we end up not to be anxious about it anymore.. tanggap na namin ang realidad .. We are now making plans nalang for the Big Move, save up for relocation expenses as much as possible while waiting.

Yes magipon ng magipon hehe ganyan din kami, kasi based sa natitirang allocation/planning level kulang pa para sa march 2023 logments. Baka nga maging 15-16months pa yung processing time ng 190 sabi ng ibang agents based sa data analyzation nila unless mag milagro ang DoHA.

dumb question, but historically ba, nasasagad yung allocation? over? under?

Last fy 21-22, 31k allocation sa 190, 31k lang din ang nagrant then nag wait na ng next fy. Mero sumusobra pero nasa 300 lang like 32k planning, 32,300 actual

Pasasaan ba darating din po yung grants sa takdang panahon. Worth it ,yes tama po pre-occupy lang sarili and prepare for the likelihood event na logically naman talaga pwede malengthen yung waiting time.
Yung iniisip ko na lang nahintay ko nga si invite ng 5 years , yung grant notice pa ba which is predictable na at this stage.

I agree haha! Pinatibay na tayo ng bumps along the entire time waiting for invites, ito pa ba? 😅💪🏻

casssie · March 11

SKL. now that our relatives in AU know na we are waiting for grants, mas dumoble yung inip at pressure kasi laging tinatanong kung may letter na ba nakailang trip na ako early this year, and planning to book more (gastos pa more) para lang di mainip

tapos minsan binabasa ko yung mga previous posts sa thread na to, para ma-reality check. tinatry ko din na wag magcheck ng forum minsan, para di ko maisip hahaha parang ex na brinekan eh

Inabot ka na rin pala ng 1 year ano? Based from the comments that I've read here yung iba 10 months lang meron na grant. I guess it's really a case to case basis. I wonder how this will affect our medical exams. Kasi I read on their site na 6 months lang yung validity ng exams if you signed a health undertaking. Will have to renew na rin yung ibang documents ko kasi mag-eexpire na this April.

Ganitong ganito din feeling ko ngayon. Hahaha. Mas naiinip sila kaysa sakin since nung time na naPR sila around 3-4 months lang daw hinintay nila kaya nahahawa na tuloy ako sa inip nila. Hahahaha

Regarding skilled visas, kapag nagadd ka po ba ng dependent spouse (married / not de facto) need pa rin magbigay ng evidence ng nature of household, social aspects, and nature of commitment? Like kasing busisi rin po ba ng typical na partner visas?

For spouse no. Marriage cert ok na usually. Pag de facto, I think mas madaming documents needed to establish relationship.

For expiring documents, do you directly upload the updated docs sa ImmiAccount lang? Since greyed out na yung mga categories, can I upload them as "other documents"?

koalala · March 15

Nag-expire na kahapon (March 14, 2024) ang medical certificate namin while waiting for almost a year.

Do you think we need to re-do the medicals again? Or just wait na lang? Thanks!

NBI (and other PCCs) ba ito? I think you can still upload them in the same section as you did previously. We were able to do that while waiting for grant before.

Pero kung hindi na talaga pwede, ok lang rin naman yan sa Other Docs.

If you are confident that you are in great shape, then just wait for the CO to contact you about it. Meron rin na-grant dito na hindi pinaulit e. Sayang gastos kung gagawin nyo na tapos ma-grant na rin naman pala. Hehe.

Ayun, copy! Thanks bro! Just uploaded my PRC and Driver's License

Still awaiting for grant hehehe. Kung ni lodge agad namin yung visa kasama na sana kami sa MArch 2024 grants. Umabot pa kami first week april bago nag lodge hehehe.

The pain and value of days will cost us few months if really wala na places for SC190.

Same for me. We waited til April first week before we lodged our 190, even if we got our final invite from march 1st week. Umasa kasi kaming magkaka invites ng 189 since may relatives kami from SA and NSW para mas madali mag adjust ng life, kaya last option na sana namin VIC pero after waiting 1 month pinush na namin kaysa sagarin pa ung 60 days ng expiry ng invite.

Hello everyone,

I called Immigration last Monday nagbabakasakali if they will give any information on the 190 application status of my husband kc turning 12 months na this coming first week of April. Wala silang update if the application is within processing timeframe. Nag ask din ako if may quota for 190 grants this financial year, there is no quota daw for 190 grants. Only for parents and partner visa may quota. So hopefully totoo para di na tayo mag wait for next FY for grants.

wow sana nga totoo. Pero paano yung planning levels nila for 190 which limits the number of grants within a FY. Medyo inconsistent sila a pero sana magfavor satin inconsistencies nila. haha

In Australia, the Partner and Parent visas fall under the Family stream of the Migration Program¹³. The Family stream is designed to enable Australians to reunite with family members from overseas and provide them with pathways to citizenship¹.

For the fiscal year 2023-24, the Australian Government has set the planning level for the Family stream at 52,500 places, which is approximately 28% of the total Migration Program¹. This stream is predominantly made up of Partner visas¹.

Here are the details for the Partner and Parent visas for the fiscal year 2023-24:

Partner visas: An estimated 40,500 places have been allocated. This category is demand-driven and not subject to a ceiling¹.
Parent visas: The quota for the Parent visas is 8,500 places¹.

Please note that these numbers are for planning purposes and the actual number of visas granted may vary¹. The demand for these visas is often greater than the places available, which can result in lengthy processing times².

while 190 is oversubscribed too obviously because most eyes are sa mga GSM visas

in my POV baka ibig nila sabihin is Partner visas are not subject to a ceiling but subject to demand
while GSM visas are oversubscribed so need to wait longer due to running out na sila sa quota for this FY?
