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 22-23, 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

***with correction "fy 22-23"

This only goes to say that their seats for grants are capped and small variance lang sila from planning levels

Hello, may mga na-approved na 190 na April 2023 nag-lodged?
Still waiting and praying. God bless us all!

Hello everyone! Waiting for Visa 190 application po kami ng husband ko lodged last April 2023. Until now no news pa din. I need kasi na mag travel sa Sydney this coming June for work related meetings and need mag apply ng business visa 600. I’m not the main applicant sa Visa 190 pero may cases na po ba dito na naka encounter ng ganito? Worried lang kasi baka maka affect ng application processing for the visa 190 and the same time, if hindi naman ako pupunta for the work meetings, baka mawalan naman ako ng work.

@pfrancesca
I think applying for SC600 Business Stream is fine while awaiting 190 grant.
Magkaiba namang subclass yun. By the time your 190 is granted, you can cancel 600 (if mauna yung 600).

Sa case ko kasi baliktad, I have valid sc600 then I read that 190 will override it upon the grant.

If unsure, it's better to drop an email to immi. I remember when I applied for SC600, I clearly stated on my cover letter that I intend to live permanently in AU hence I have active Skillselect application waiting to be invited. Ilagay mo na din sa cover letter mo yang situation mo just so the immi is aware of your background agad agad.

thanks! so far processing times remain for 190 with the risk of getting longer by few months due to the near end FY slowdown of grants.

Be very careful especially mag 1yr na pala yun PR visa lodgment nyo, it can potentially arrive any day now. Tourist Visa (Business) 600 can override 190 visa and effectively cancel your PR. This is when 190 is granted BEFORE your TV, that's why, there is this warning in visa grants

If your company can ensure that your TV will be issued to you the quickest possible time, then I think that's still safe. Just be firm on this.

@bayek03 salamat Sir ☺️

olew · April 8

sa sobrang anxious ko sa visa grant. tried to estimate how many more ang pending processing each month of submission. These ones exclude 'Hold' and 'Invited' dahil immaterial sila in count, and likley all 'invited' are 'lodged' na.

*data as of Mar2024

Next FY na talaga tayo.. dami pang april 2023 to Dec 2023 lodgments. Malamang 70% ng april 2023 logment next FY narin magrant.

i think konti nlng iga grant nila for this financial year. If April, i think may chance po this year.

yung table na ito is more of how sooner will your submission be processed. so pag mababa ang % ibig sabihin paubos na ung lodged visa sa month na yun. Kung kelan maprocess, no idea. Pero higher chance of course if you submitted Jan23-Apr23, compared sa katulad kong Jun23.

i have accepted na next financial year pako kahit na desperado nako sa grant at dahil ayoko na sa work ko now. sobrang taas ng work anxiety lol
