It is just a copy and paste response. Everyone who complained to DHA about delay get the same answer. What you need to do now is to complain to Commonwealth Ombudsman.

Hi,

I’ve been reading the posts on this forum and I wish to share the news that we’ve gotten our grants today!

Date invited: 10 Mar 2019 (onshore applicant)

Date lodged: 14 Mar 2019

Newborn added in July 2019 after email sent to skilled.support@homeaffairs.gov.au with Form 1436, Passport and Birth Certificate (No HAP ID Generated)

CO contact: 17 Dec 2019 to

  1. Police Check (I overlooked the fact that I had to submit Police Check for country I spent more than a year counted cumulatively in the last 10 years)

  2. Newborn’s health clearance (HAP ID generated)

  3. Evidence of alias name and AFP including the alias name. We did not include earlier in the application as the name is not in any official document. The English name is used as my partner’s name is difficult to be pronounced. The employer issued a letter verifying the identity.

HI All, Something strange happened with the my 189 PR application, lodged on 8th March 2018. i also uploaded wife’s “PTE Score”. But now under spouse’s document list in the application, there is no option showing Language ability and her earlier uploaded PTE score card. So i uploaded her PTE Score in “Others Documents”. Has any one faced similar situation, plz respond. #263111, 75 points , 189#

I did my PhD from Aus, the day I got my completion letter, I started the process for 189 visa application(without any delays). I secured the right PTE score, got positive skill assessment as a university lecturer, Submitted my EOI with 85 points on 01-June-2019 and got invitation on 11-June-2019. As I already had managed all the documents including health assessment, police checks etc. I applied for 189 visa on the same day (day of invitation) i.e. 11-June-2019. I Was hoping to receive my grant in a few months but alas have not been contacted by CO yet. I am new on this form. Reading all the posts makes me think that it’s not only my application which is suffering from delays, its with everyone.

I also had applied for a four year’s Poststudy work stream visa (485) on 21 May 2019, after receiving my completion letter(Just to be on the safe side). I have been contact by CO over 485 application asking me to submit an updated C.V. which mentions my employment history and form 1221. Funny thing is that Maximum processing time for this visa is upto 4 months (well passed now). I have not received a reply after first CO contact on this application either. some chance they might decide PR application first, as they might suggest me to pull this application back if my PR application is successful. Any comments?

If the 189 gets granted before the 485, then you have to inform them to withdraw the 485.
