My hubby and I put in our EOI beginning of May for 190 visa and we decided to call immigration last night just to check on time scales etc and we have been told it could take up to 2 years and even then we may never get an invite, we have 60 points and my hubby is an IT security officer on the CSOL list, the immigration person then said if anyone with more points submits their expression of interest they will always be invited before us therefore we may never get invited. totally deflated was hoping to be over march 2016 :frown: anyone else is this lovely position?

Oh no :-( Really sorry to hear that! Have you maybe looked at other states? You'll obviously have to spend 2years there once approved on a 190 visa but 2 years in Aus is better than 2 years waiting for a 'Maybe'.

 

Also, maybe your husband could look at applying for jobs that might offer 457 sponsorship. It'll buy you some time in Aus while you wait for your PR. It's a 4 year visa and your time working in Aus will give you more points.

 

Good Luck!

thanks Ali :)

 

MissNancy - yes we are currently looking for 457 aswell and we are really trying for that, we could try for another state we have looked at this option aswell but would need to retract our EOI for Perth, also its only a moral obligation to stay in another state for the 2 years it isnt by law so we could do that and still move to Perth but im a bit funny about the moral thing!! its so emotional it all isnt it!!

There's was a time when you would have been invited on 60 points but the advice you've received is correct; anyone who submits an application with more points than you will take precedence. I don't see how Immi can tell you 2 years though. It could never happen or it could be 6 months; it just depends on who else applies.

 

Is there any way you can increase your points? Have you done the IELTS? Have you claimed for all the work experience you can claim for? Do you have any skills on the same list? If you do you can pay to have your skills assessed and if approved I believe you can claim another 5 points.

oh i never thought about myself - im a medical secretary (medical terminology qualification) so not sure if i would be able to get assessed but i will look into it - thanks for that tip :)

 

my hubby is considering doing the ielts again as he was 1 point away from getting an overall 9 so im sure that gets him another 5 points.

If redoing the IELTS and getting a higher score will get you an extra 5 points then that's the way to go! Remember if he had to sit the academic he will only need to redo the general test for the extra points!

so you think there may still be a chance verystormy? we have 60 points with the state sponsorship, think my hubby may resit his ielts so try and up our points, i know we may have a long wait ahead of us now which i was hoping we didnt but nevermind we are just ready to go and know there is jobs out there as my hubby has had plenty of interest on linked in etc but no one offering sponsorship yet!

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

Hi, I can see by your signature that your husband scored an 8 in IELTS this would have got him the maximum 20 points so even if he re-sat and got a 9 his points score would not change. As immigration are only doing one invitation per month now I'm sure more people with 60 points will get an invite in each round (that's what I'm hoping as I have 60 points too). Good Luck x

Have you lodged an EoI for a 189 visa, or a State Sponsored 190?

 

If a 190 (as you are saying) you won't get an invite without State Sponsorship.

 

Have you applied for State Sponsorship yet?

 

60 points and State Sponsorship means you progress from an EoI to a visa invitation straightaway.

 

Best regards.

Hey :) he got 10 points scoring an overall 8, he missed superior english by 1.5 points. Immigration are only doing one invite per month for a 189 visa we have applied for a 190 which seems to be invited throughout every month so we are holding on tight and hoping! x

Ok so we have spoke to go Matilda for information and they said yes we need to apply for state sponsorship but we cannot find how to do that! Every time I search for it only comes up with information regarding an Eoi! Obviously an agent isn't going to tell me how to do this myself as they want our business - can anyone shed any light on this?? X
