ako nga Nov 5 pa na receive ang docs ko hanggang ngayon wala pa din akong ack email. from the spreadsheet, they should be working now with Nov 2nd applications... hopefully this week or next meron na ako ack email. sabi nila 10 weeks daw ang processing ngayon, dami na applications...
but dont worry, wala yatang quota sa NSW,, and if you check the report from SkillSelect, 122 out of 2400 pa lang ang may nafi-fill up.. so madami pang chances for SysAd.. yun nga lang, waiting is painful

Sir, nailagay ko na po sa timeline last Nov 2012 po and details sa timeline. GSM SS - 190. West Australia. Nurse Educator po ang aking occupation.
Currently working po ako dito sa Libya. I have an agent who assisted me in the whole process of application and visa lodging.
Since wala po ditong eHealth, although meron pong isang Panel Doctor, all the results was submitted via postal mail (FedEx).
Salamat din po.

I have already lodged my application for subclass 189 and already completed all the documents for uploading at eVisa. Do we need to wait for a CO before going to the clinic for the health examinations/medical or not?

I think hindi pede. Pede ka lang magpamedical kung meron ka ng referral letter with assigned TRN and or HRI no.

I'm new here..I find your forum very helpful.
I just want to ask if how long will it take me to have an invitation to apply for subclass 189? I'm planning to file my EOI this week. Thanks!

normally pag 70pts EOI nyo, you will be invited immediately sa next cycle of invitation (2x a month)..you can look for the data of the current invitation report at the DIAC's website..
skillselect, under report tab..makikita mo dun kung ilan points ang current invitation, and then you can gauge kung malapit na ba kayo mainvite..

I'm asking for the timeline because I'm also planning to get married this year. Kung magrant na ung visa pede ka pa ba mag add ng secondary para as partner mo while waiting for the initial entry deadline? Or get married first before all the lodgement process..thanks again for the answers. God bless!

I'm confused between what I read from this link:
http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charters/client-services-
charter/visas/8.0.html
It says here name standard processing time 12months. I've also read a link from diac saying it will only take 10weeks for my application to reach a case officer.
Which is which sirs?
