@Khushbu… you are correct. Couldn’t take any decisions. couldn’t shift to any new place. Being abroad difficult to move family . Frustrating timeline
Visa Grant Delay 189

well all are waiting that 189 will take high pace but I think sep 2017 spike will come again
What do you mean by that? Kindly explain…
Guys, don’t delay your life decisions because of an Aussie Visa. If I can tell you something from my 1.5 years of experience with this immigration process then this is it. The whole visa process is very complex and its timing is unpredictable. Add some politics to it and you have anxiety and stress in your life. Don’t rely on it. It will come when it needs to come.

I’m waiting since 10 months now. The only thing I get mad about is the pathetic service for such an amount paid to the department.
You are right at some extent. But mind cant switch off whenever we want. I have started taking anti-depressant pills but still cant stop refreshing this page again and again.

Sad to hear that my friend, but don’t deteriorate your health, what is the benefit of settling in Australia with bad health and if you can’t enjoy the life there…i am also logging to immi portal 3-4 times a day and refreshing this page atleast 15-20 times a day but don’t let it ruin health…

you can actually switch it off if you want to. I am a counsellor and i suggest you go see a counsellor to talk about yoyr anxiety. I experienced very intense anxiety myself too justba month ago and i cured myself using cbt. Worth trying. mental health problem is rrally straining amd debilitating. Hope you can get better soon

What’s does it mean about 2017 spike
If immigrating is really very important for you then you may explore Canada while waiting for 189. Their process is fast and very transparent. The only thing in your way will be IELTS as they dont accept PTE. My friend’s friend while waiting for his Aussie PR got his Canadian PR and moved there. He got both country’s PR now. But again, only few would invest their energy and money for such a thing. I would suggest focusing on your health folks.

Great idea, but the expense is just too much. I have popped more than R70K for me hubby and kid for Aussie visa then another for Canada would mean an entire year savings wasted on visa apps no other investments.

Guys. No idea about my question above? How to submit 190 eoi, while 189 visa has been lodged?
You can not apply for 190 once you get visa invitation from 189 SC visa … Either withdraw your 189 visa application and then apply for 190 and take a risk. Otherwise wait for 189 visa grant.
just take a chill pill
I lodged my application for 189 visa on 05 Feb 2019. Since lodging, I secured a permanent job with a company in Brisbane, is there anyway to convert the 189 to say a 186 Visa to get there faster as the company needs me to start work as soon as possible? Any suggestions. Thanks so much.
I couldn’t find any official document which states that one cannot apply/lodge for two subclass at the same time. where is your source?
how did you get the job in the first place? Are you in Australia already on work visa?
You can apply for as many visas you want but you can’t accept more than one visa invitations(ITA). Either you can lodge 189 visa or 190 visa not both. I had got the visa invite (ITA) for 190 NSW SC visa in the month of Feb 2019 but i waited for 189 SC visa and got the visa invite (ITA) for 189 visa in March 11 2019 round because had i lodged my visa application for 190 visa then my application would not have been considered for the Mar 11 2019 189 visa round.
Would you please provide supportive document (link, paper, instruction, …) for this argument? As far as I know, one can lodge as many applications as s/he wants but once received granted visa for one of those applications, all other lodged applications will be canceled automatically.
