Visa Grant Delay 189

Thanks, Gurminder. I was confused because someone told me I cannot, since my BVB has expired and to apply for exemption I require a non-expired valid visa.

no you dont require any visa to apply travel exemption and once your travel exemption is approved you can apply visa 600 visitor visa just attach exemption letter and when you reach onshore you can re apply bva. my case is bit different. i am also on expired bvb stuck in india since march 2020. i applied travel exemption 3 times and got rejected each time because my job in australia is not related to my skills. Good luck for your exemption :v::v::v::v:

Thanks, that was helpful. :smiley:

Is there anyone getting 189 grant these days? This waiting game is really frustrating.

yes. onshore nurses who applied few weeks/months ago are getting grants.

Thank you for the information No one is updating on anything We are here waiting for so long

those lucky people are updating on facebook. here in this forum you will only see frustrated people like us who been waiting for more than 24 months for their grant :joy::joy:

So true​:joy::joy::joy::joy: I did not see any on Facebook aswell. Just saw 190 getting grants.

Nothing is going to happen. Stay relaxed till 2023.

Please let me know that how can i file a complaint for processing of application.

Please tell me during submitting a complaint through the online form “compliments, complaints, and suggestions”,what necessary information have to provide such as application reference number, applicant name, or any other relevant information?? and where ?? in the last step under feedback box??

yes you are doing the right thing. in reference number provide them your application’s reference number. you can find it in your immi account.

I provided reference number and email id in the feedback box only as there is not any available space there particularly for these things. Is it ok?? They contact me through my email id??

Did you lodge a complaint or a suggestion previously??

yes many times. they ask me to shut up and wait :joy:
