Waiting time for 189 visa increased from 8-9 to 11-22 months

kids admission to school, changing job buying things for home, not able to do anything just because of this slow process was in hope that at maximum will get grant in an year, but now they changed to 22 months… In india good schools take around 3500-4000 AUD on the name of admission fees, what to do now, not able to understand anything…

God knws wht will be the political scene of aus aftr 22 mnths

suddenly change from 8-9 to 11-22m, how do they calculate the processing time!

I hope it is applicable to new applications and not the ones waiting to receive grants !!

Your case is already in process buddy as you’ve had a CO contact. Don’t worry, you’ll be the first one to get the grant and won’t have to wait for 22 months.

thanks for revert and giving hope :slight_smile: waiting since 10 months, no other option than to wait more…

Dear all. Is there any statement which says that old applicants will not be affected by the November changes? I mean, if we are going to compete with the new applicants points system, no chance…

Hi All,

Can anybody know what iscah are predicting about the sudden change of timeliness.

My personal opinion would be they are not going to pick 189 till Nov and then December is a holiday month and then they will start from Jan which means they are taking 2 months and hence making the change in the timelines. It is redicules

have you got the invite? and i guess if someone has already done their EOI with specific points than new system cannot affect them because they have got their assessment done and have Received their points…

Dear all, I lodged in the middle of March and heard nothing yet. Do you think this processing time will affect my case too? I’m so depressed and frustrated…:pensive:

feeling the same way. I lodged mine one in the beginning of March and heard nothing

This is so unfair. How much longer are we supposed to wait?!?:disappointed_relieved:

I just feel sorry for myself for lodging subclass 189.:sob::sob:

thats true priya.star, I’m thinking the same thing, the last ever visa grant was on august 14th and that’s for an Onshore applicant, the last visa grant for offshore applicant is on 1st August, which i think is highly unlikely…did you also see the change in global processing times to 11 to 22 months…i was shocked to see this today morning.

have you seen the latest global processing time… its now 11 to 22 months for 189 visa.
