Visa Grant Delay 189
Great, that was fast Evan, wish you all the best in Australia. I hope more Offshore grants are on their way now.
The treasurer has already said in a press conference that there will be negative migration for the next two years. I think the treasurer saying something is more authoritative than University of NSW.
Economist is in the Critical Sectors list. Priority Two. There will be no offshore grants on their way unless your sector is on this page: https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/critical-skills-and-sectors
This means they won’t award any of the visas that are being processed?
You’re suggesting only critical occupations will be awarded with a visa in the next two years?
Because you are not reading what I said. I did not link to the PMSOL which is only relevant to the Employer Nominated streams, I linked to the page with the bullet pointed list of sectors which are considered critical. Of course “Economist” isn’t on that list, it’s not a list of occupations. It’s a list of sectors, namely ones which are considered critical to Australia’s economic recovery.
No, I did not say that or anything like that. Only critical skills will be invited to apply. There is no legal basis for them to halt processing on applications under assessment unless it is a cap and queue or cap and cease scenario.
Why are you always so negative and create panic here… we all know what treasurer has said negative immigration means overall net immigration will be negative for next two years as temporary visas and new invites will be only on basis of priority list… that doesnt mean existing applications wont be processed for 2 years… Also I dont know which priority list 2 u have seen but dha has only declared one list on which 17 occupations are ther. Don’t give incorrect information which is personally created by you. Take care.
I have not made up a single piece of information, and it is offensive of you to suggest it. I expect you to apologise.
The PMSOL as declared in the actual page itself and the media release announcing it applies to sponsored workers. It does not apply to 189 or 190 visas. That’s even on the Home Affairs page - actually carefully read that bullet point list. It specifically mentions the sectors which Australia has determined are vital to economic recovery, and that list encompasses far more than 17 occupations - namely financial technology, large scale manufacturing, film, media and television production and emerging technology, medical technology, critical infrastructure, telecommunications, engineering and mining, supply chain logistics, aged care, agriculture, primary industry, food production, and the maritime industry. Bullet points three and four).
I also specifically said existing applications being processed arent going to suddenly cease. New applications for accountants for example are unlikely to be invited to apply or selected for assessment.
I also don’t think it’s helpful to point to a policy statement from University of NSW for example saying Australia needs more migration and say “this is great! This means offshore processing will resume soon!” - that’s false hope, because UNSW doesn’t actually write policy.

Hi Kyanar, thank you for clarifying your points which were otherwise not clear at the beginning. Do you think the engineering and mining sector as listed includes trade occupations?.
Which ones do you mean? Are you talking like geotechnical engineers, mining vehicle operators? This part is opinion only, but I would expect the less technical occupations which can be done with just a TAFE certificate they probably wouldn’t invite for as they would want to get some of the newly unemployed doing them but if it’s a fairly technical occupation which requires a degree you’d probably get an invite.
I already submitted my visa application in January so was eagerly waiting for immigration to resume processing and granting Offshore PR visas. ANZSCO 322311 Metal Fabricator
I was invited to apply 189 within a month after completing my EOI
You can also see someone with Anzsco 253411, I guess they have it on PMSOL list specially for you. Cheers!
Dear Kyanar
No one is uneducated here who has filled up an application under 189 or 190 all are skilled people… I have read in detail DHA website, infact I am a permanent resident of Australia and have done my visa processing and have helped many other in the processing of their applications of not just Australia but other countries as well.
Your first message was not clear infact it created misunderstanding panic to many users who are here for some direction being offshore… Just bcoz you are a government employee you cant say for sure which Anzsco DHA consider under the critical sectors or which dont fall under critical sector…and Please note 2020-2021 programme details are yet to be announced on 6th October 2020 and it has been mentioned on DHA website that these lists will be revised as per australian economy need and requirement… if you refer state websites for eg vic it has been mentioned there that these are for interim allocation and will b revised as the economy moves.
All I requested from you was that please re read your message and see if it doesnt create a panic and anxiety among people…There is nothing to take personally here… and it was not suggested that congrats offshore processing has resumed in the post you are refering to that was shared earlier no false hope was given in that message it was a mere sharing of info as to that it might be the cause that there has been some movement in the offshore visa applications being granted…
People are already stressed as is due to visa processing being delayed due to Covid 19 and have invested a lot of energy, money everything in lodging these applications, when you share something please keep in mind that it is not incomplete information or it does not create a panic or anxiety when someone reads it… We should all support each other during this time…
