rakel9 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 hi stu, can i ask u how long it took for the whole 190 visa process? my hubby has only just passed his english and skills test, what time scale are we looking at after the tests are passed? congragulations to you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu4668 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 it took us just over 12 months but we did make a slight mistake as we submitted an EOI (Expression of Interest) on 01/07/12 and then sat waiting until about October/November time expecting to be invited for a 190 visa. We realised we were meant to apply for WA state spomsorship after submitting the EOI which we did about December 2012. That was granted within 2 or 3 weeks and immediately after the 190 DIAC visa application started. I suppose if we had not made the mistake we could of possibly done it within 9 months. Everyones case does vary and timescales can vary. good luck in the process, if you need help this website does offer a wealth of information from personal experiences. dont hesitate to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakel9 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 thankyou!, also u have just had your 190 visa granted did it give u a date when u can enter western oz? is that what happens you get your visa granted then a date when u can enter from? whats the date you have bin given? just so we can get a ruff idea when we think we will be over ther thanks again stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu4668 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 we have 12 months from the date of the medicals or police checks (whichever is the oldest) to validate the visa and upto 5 years from the date of the visa being granted to enter Oz. Because my kids are in crucial exam years at school I cannot move over there until July 2014 at the earliest therefore we all have to make the trip to validate the visas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family!!!! it is a long way from family but to be honest I spoke to my parents more on skype during the 3 weeks I spent in oz last year than I probably do when I am in the UK. family and friends can always pop over and see us if they can afford the air fares, im sure like most people that emmigrate, leaving family and friends behind is hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
