Visa Grant Delay 189

Hi Guys, I want to know whether DHA considers the Date of Initial EOI or the date for last EOI? What should i consider as the waiting time? Your input would be useful to me in this regard as i have a lot on hands, it will certainly help me plan better. Thanks

Any offshore grant ? Any news ??

Oh my god, i put this on sept 2019. Just got a notification as you replied. Almost forgot that I applied for 189. Its been 15 months since i lodged my application on feb 2019! I was frustrated in those months (sept till even december) and even raised complaint with DHA. But standard reply that only 90% of applications within 12 months. Now i just left it. Just saw my immi account. It still shows received! i guess there is no hope for next 6 months. lets see… anyways i am busy with few other things that i’m keeping myself away from PR matters. May be in June/July 2021 if i get it is ok for me. But this is atrocious. Not even a CO contact for 15 months

I totally can feel your pain. Been waiting since sep 2018. Got co contact to do medical and PC again in March 2020 , submitted both in April . And guess what ? Still waiting ,

@Arunkumar_oops @infoZ I can understand your frustration as well, I am onshore on bridging visa. Applied March 19, lets hope we all get our grants after 1 July.

Any grant -offshore,onshore?

Once you lodge your visa, points don’t matter. What exactly is your question?

The waiting time will start from the day you pay your visa fees and lodge your visa. EOI significance is only till you get an invite.

Anyone waiting for PR to buy their first house?

It is taking forever!! But good thing is the property price is dropping.

Nice to find company, yes it is taking forever. The positive thing is that the property prices are dropping. Hold on to your cash, grow it and hang-in there, we should soon see the light.

Hello ,

I have applied 189 visa on April 16 2019, under 261312, developer programmer. Still waiting. Co contact for AFP and wife’s medical- feb 18th 2020. Submitted back on Feb 29th. Application shows as initial check. Not sure what is happening.

Anyone in this situation ?

Any onshore or offshore grants??

Hi All,

  1. What are the options to travel to Australia from India now, i.e. in June 2020?
  2. What will be a good month to apply jobs over there as financial year end is close?
  3. What is cost of hiring the smallest possible chartered flight that can go to Oz?

Aviation sources hint that on 5th June 2 flights left from Chennai(probably repatriation flights). No further flights are expected anytime sooner.

Thanks. Appreciate an early response.

Nigel.

Any grant is happening now a days ?

Hi Everyone, Have the 189 visa grants frozen again, It has been a year since I applied. All the other applicants I see in my Occupation code have been granted their PR. Not sure, where my application is stuck. Any news, or any hope?

Do points affect the visa grant waiting time?

What’s your current application status ? Initial assessment or further assessment ?
