They do hold you right down to the 60 working days - they did with us and failed us - had to appeal it and they made us wait the 60 days AGAIN for a successful outcome - good luck

Hi All, We are currently on a 457 & our agent submitted our EOI mid Sept, today is now the 4th round with no invite and our agent says there is a delay just now. Anyone else having the same issue? Thanks Susan

We used an agent, at times I wanted to throttle them but if you're having a hard time like yourself then defo use one, it will be money well spent if it gets you to where you need to be. Good luck xx

Fingers crossed for you hun @mrmrshunter xx

Soz was checking something out before coming back to you. No they were all 189, but one of the guys on a group I follow on Facebook got his 190 invite today. Asked him there and he waited 4 weeks, this was for Victoria xx

The whole process is a bit of a joke, as you can from my signature they failed by OH skills assessment which is total bollox - we've had to appeal it but we're lucky enough to get sponsorship while this appeal runs out. Don't give up, it will happen xx

I just replied on your other post. Please don't panic just yet - I have 3 friends who had 60 points and all got their invites on 6th July - they had been waiting and didn't get invited for a few rounds. You'll hopefully get it in August invites xx

Please don't listen to whoever told you that from immigration - I have had 3 friends all put in EOI just before the July slow down in May, they didn't get invited the end of June round but all 3 got their invites on Mon 6th July. All had 60 points. Next one is the 3rd Aug - you'll probably get in then. Hang fire till then on another IELTS xx

Thanks hun, it's been a rollercoaster year but finally we are good to go xx

Good luck xx

We head out 3 weeks tomorrow hun, can't wait!! This appeal with TRA is still trundling on, that us at week 8 but at least we have sponsorship to get us there in the meantime. Maybe catch you for a coffee when you arrive xx

What an honest and heart wrenching reply. Hope everything works out and maybe one day you will see yourself and your family back in Aus xx

3 weeks on Friday - it's not coming quick enough xx

Thanks @Lou8670, we managed to get sponsorship with a firm and my OH starts on the 31st. Looking forward to living in Secret harbour next month xx

I see you're in Mandurah, we will be heading to Secret Harbour xx

You don't have to go home, what about another part of Aus. We agreed that we would give it 2 years but if we didn't love Perth then we would look at other areas to live xx

Aww bless you hun, does you good to get it off your chest to strangers. We are about to head over 3 weeks on Friday and that's the part I dread most, not being there if something bad happens to support my family. You're doing the right thing by giving it time and just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this. These feelings will pass. I had the wobbles a few years ago when I was in Aus previously, especially at xmas so I know this feeling will pass. Hugs xx

Wow you're starting work really quickly on landing. We fly out on the 14th August but OH not starting work till the 31st - I'm still job hunting xx

Not been on since last week due to the excitement of getting my 457 granted last Wednesday Good luck to anyone still waiting for their 189's xx

Woo hoo got my visa grant this morning!! xx

Can anyone advise on this. Our agent said they uploaded our application decision ready on the 25/6. I didn;t know about the immi account until the 1st July so created it and all that was showing uploaded was both our birth certificates. Checked it religiously for the past 2 weeks and all it as said is Processing' and just the birth certs attached. Was like that this morning but when I checked it this afternoon all of our additional evidence has been uploaded?? Is this our agent just adding our docs?? Thanks x

Oh my God - amazing news!! Well done chick - enjoy your bubbles )) xx

Anyone else had their 457 granted this past week? Thanks xx

Well done (again lol) xx

Amazing news!! Well done you xx
