189 eoi

Hi all… I submitted 189 EOI in queensland on 8/11/17 with 65 points in 254499 category. I still have got no reply from immigration. My lawyer says its gonna take more time. Actually, currently I am on visitor visa which expires on 5th of march so I am worried because my time is running out. Pls advise me how can i prolong my stay untill i get an invitation. I have already extrnded visitor visa 2 times. Also recently i talked to a friend who with 60 points got invitation in 20 days. She applied from victoria. So, i am wondering like what is going on with my application?? why is it taking more than 3 months with 65 points and still no news from immigration?? Also if I apply for NSW state sponse how long is that gonna take?? N what if i do not fulfill the condition if living n working for 2 years in NSW?? Is that going to cause a problem later on??

Pls do reply if anyone has knowledge about this. Thanks in advance.

At this stage, non pro rata are invited at 70 points threshold. So your agent is correct, you will need to wait it seems.
