Visa Grant Delay 189

No. I am an offshore applicant from India.

i think you will get your grant soon because people who were invited last year are getting grants first.

ramesh_singh · July 28, 2021, 4:17am

I hope so. However, I have noticed that even for offshore candidates, MHA is processing visas only for occupations in PMSOL. My occupation is Chemical Engineer which is not listed in PMSOL. Hence, I am not expecting much this financial year.

you will get grant soon just watch

After so long seen two Offshore 189 visa grants in immi tracker . Even though both are from 2020 but at least things are moving for offshore too.

Given the vaccination target of inoculating 80 percent adult aussies by Christmas very much achievable, I reckon MHA will start issuing offshore visas by Jan next year….hopefully.

you are lucky that co contacted you. just wait few more months for your grant. here in this forum people are waiting for more than 3 years for co contact and me myself completed 2 years of wait today just for co contact.

Any 189 onshore or offshore grants reported? Any probability, when things will be get better for offshore candidates?

Sushmi · August 11, 2021, 10:15pm

We are onshore from 2018 and have not received grant yet. They asked for updated police report in April 2021 and since then no response.

GurminderSingh · August 12, 2021, 3:04am

I have a strong feeling that they will start offshore processing from january 2022 because new pr holders from january 2022 wont get any govt benefit for first 4 years which means less burden on govt. Just an opinion.

Veena_K · August 13, 2021, 3:45am

Thank you @GurminderSingh.

Hoping for the best

One offshore grant reported (lodged in 2020)

Veena_K · August 13, 2021, 3:50am

After CO contact, grant will come soon. All the best.

Hey Gurminder, My BVB has expired, if I get a job offer related to the IT field then would I still be eligible for travel exemption?

Sushmi · August 13, 2021, 7:10am

Thank you veena. Hopefully they will grant soon. Good luck to u too.

GurminderSingh · August 13, 2021, 11:41am

yes there is high chance of getting travel exemption if you have job offer and your job falls under critical skills list.
