Visa Grant Delay 189

Has there been any 189 grant at all? When was the latest confirmed grant? Can any agent advise if it is possible to convert 189 to 190 without losing the application fee? Would the fee refundable if we decided to switch to 190? Do we any other option other than waiting?

Same hereā€¦

not possible at all.

@kris189 I asked my agent for the possibility of converting 189 into 190 but unfortunately, there is no such option. The other alternative is to lodge a fresh EOI for 190 and wait for the invite but I guess its too late for that. Moreover, even if you get an invite for 190, you need to pay those visa fees as the 189 fees are non-refundable. And even after lodging for 190, the waiting time can be 6+ months. Itā€™s painful to take a decision at the moment especially when so much money and critical life decisions are involved. Hence, itā€™s better we wait till January 2020 end may be to assess the scenario and later take a decision. Unfortunately, many of us are in the same situation. Hope, this phase passes away quickly.
