Invitation to lodge visa 190 received but EOI is expiring soon

mvs3210

Hi to all, I've received the NSW nomination email approval yesterday and I've already kick start the visa submission in the immi portal. I understand that I am only given 60 days to complete the process including the payment of the visa fee. however, I am worried about my EOI expiry which is set on the 17 of June 2017. could you kindly enlighten me on which expiry should I follow? is it the EOI expiry on 17-June-2017 or the 60 days skillselect invitation validity which is expiring on the 29-July-2017? your advise will be much appreciated. thank you

NSW has a 14-day rule for you to submit your NSW state sponsorship application once selected. You have to provide all required documents, pay fees within the 14 day timeframe.

the 60 day rule applies once your NSW nomination has been approved and oz immigration has invited you to apply for a visa 190 or 489.

@mvs3210 what happen na sa EOI mo. kahapon na sya expire. did you communicate with the NSW or DIBP?

@batman Hi, I did not dared to let it expire, I paid the VISA fee last 14th-June. I would say that I made the right decision, because now, my EOI is fully suspended including its scheduled expiry. I noticed that I can still log-in to my SkillSelect. From what I understand, you will no longer be able to login to SkillSelect if your EOI is expired or no longer valid. the VISA application is now on "received" status when I look on it at the ImmiAccount.

@Au_Vic Hi, thank you for responding, I just went ahead to pay the VISA fee, and I've uploaded all the documents required in the ImmiAccount too. I am now working on the police clearance and medical requirements. I am hoping and praying that the outcome will be positive once I have submitted the remaining 2 items.
