Kung yung visa grant na po ang tanong nyo sir, depende rin po. Meron iba na 1 week lang from visa lodgement may visa grant na. Pero normally 1-2 months. Yung iba mas matagal. Depende po kasi kung complete na lahat ng docs mo upon lodgement and walang problem sa medical. Minsan po kasi pag kulang ang docs, makakareceive ka ng additional request from CO. and depende sa CO kung kelan nya babalikan ang file mo. Kaya as much as possible, dapat ensure na complete na ang docs pag naglodge para wala ng additional request from CO and visa grant na agad.

I am in the process of applying my EOI and have a few questions.
PTE scores are L-83, R-79, S-76, W-75 with an average of 77.
I have recvd a positive response from VETESSES for my application to them.
My total points structure :
Age - 30
English Exam - 10
Education - 15
Work Experience (total of 4 years till date) - 5
1. At the time of submitting my application to VETESSES, my work exp was 3.7 years. They assessed 1 year under the skills category and 2.7 as work experience. However, now I complete 2.7+5 months with the same organisation and same role. Will I qualify for 5 points with an experience of 3 years or do I need to give a re assessment to VETESSES?
2. While I leave the 'till date' blank under work experience (since I am still employed in the same job) will the EOI consider 5 points ? Is it fine to do so or do we need to specify the information as assessed by VETESSES?
3. Considering the above points, EOI before submission states a claim of 65 points, while I am claiming 60 to the best of my knowledge. Does it include 5 points of SS?
What are the chances currently for an SS to be recvd from SA where my job is listed under CSOL under special category?
Thank you in advance!!

1. just put the date when the start of your experience are considered by vetasses and leave the end as blank. System will count it automatically. you need not to claim how many years the system will do it for you.
2. refer above. and last assessment will be enough.
3. at the end of the EOI it will tell you how many points you earned based on the data you gave.

I am still hoping that I will get SS from NSW.

I recently decided to pursue my application for permanent residence in Australia, specifically NSW. Unlike most of you on this forum (from what I've read in the last 2 hours) who are Engineers, Accountants, and Nurses, my occupation is a Public Relations Professional. It's not under the priority list of NSW, so I'm considering applying via Stream 2. I've tallied my points, and at the least, I'm assuming I'm at 65 points (if I'm able to receive SS), and at most (if I score close to perfect on my PTEs), 75. Can anyone share any relevant experience on their application in a similar field (i.e. Marketing-related)?
I'm currently compiling all requirements for my initial assessment with VETASSESS. I'm hopeful it will be positive.
Also, I've spoken to 2 different migration agencies, who each have their own recommendations on how I should proceed. Honestly, they were both saying different things, which led me to conducting my own research. In the end, I've decided to proceed independently. If you also have tips on how best to move forward, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

1. Wala pong assurance kung maapprove yung state sponsorship, depende sa qualification, employability and commitment to Victoria.
2. Yung $40k aud I guess realistic estimated fund you needed to settle in Vic lalo na pag may dependents, alam ko wala kasi support ang gov sa 190 and you have to stay in Vic for 2 years. Pero no-harm tyring kasi wala naman bayad ang SS application sa VIC and if you need extra points
3. Better ang 189 in my opinion kasi pwede kng mamili ng state na pupuntahan mo, provided na yung points needed sa nominated occupation mo is enought to get invited. Marami pa din kasing waiting ng ITA ng 65 points.
