With the recent announcement from the prime minister, he used the language “visa holders.” I’m interpreting this as that we still won’t see processing of offshore applications since we don’t “hold visas,” am I wrong?
Visa Grant Delay 189
They also used the word skilled workers. it means there is a possibility for processing of our visas.

Yes we are not visa holders. Once we get our 189 visa Granted we will be permanent residents

They want skilled immigrants to return for better economic recovery, but do not want to expedite PR visa processing….Cant understand the logic.
Skilled immigrants entry directly projected that the processing should be going to normal as same as pre-pandemic level.

As per my prediction, they have to start processing now for offshore and can demand updated some documents because Jan 2022 is very close now and offshore applicants are now not eligible for benefits. They have enough seats to grant visas right now even they can grant more visas than their decided quota as same as last year.

They are not working on 189 visa for offshore. Just check the list of visa holders. They not even add SC 189 in the list. I lodge the visa on dated 08 feb 2018 and still waiting. I had physical verification on dated 13 feb 2020 and corona started and they closed the border and i am still waiting for grants. I am offshore applicant. And this is the facility for who are already granted visa. Just check the link https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/vaccinated-travellers?fbclid=IwAR3M1tlian5-CwTEZETCZsd_LaAVIAoeUzz3epHGBZkrhnOOpKaGyQ7HIJM
how 189 and 190 can add to this list. See these are PR visas if PR granted then no need of any list or exemption. Further easing of border to all visas means you have now the probability that processing should be quick for offshore visas also same as onshore.

Let’s see mate what happen… I hope they started as soon as possible for offshore 189.
Those mentioned are the temporary visa subclass. 189 is a permanent visa and can’t be added under temporary visa subclass.

Let me know to which email you have mailed. Am also waiting since march 2020
please scroll this page to little-bit upward. I have already provided the links two times.
Yeah…I’m shocked as well…and we shall all NOT forget that all the sufferings and frustrations can be traced all the way back to its very root…This Communist China Pandemic! my family member died coz of that last year…Mainland China is the root of ALL EVIL
When you had last co contact ?
I feel sorry for your loss. We can’t do anything about it. People have already forgotten the root cause of covid. China is now the richest country in the world.
If your agent is reliable and he has insider information, then it is good news for all of us. If these agents were all correct we all should have got our grant within a few months of submitting our application.
Bro I don’t have any agent. I applied my file myself. See I got this information from a facebook page. According to them they are observing this with their clients.
