Hello Peeps Just read on another forum that someone lodged on 02/09/2015 and received the grant on 16/10/2015. Keeping my whole body crossed for all of us here. Cheers Taran

Very quiet here, Seems like not many poms applied for 190 visa lately. Lets hope we get our grants quickly. Regards Taran

Hello all I have applied for 190 visa. I now need to speak to DIBP to bring something to their attention. I called 131881 and stayed onlne for over 1 hour but no one responded. Is anyone here able to suggest best way to contact the departemnt either by phone or email. Thanks and regards Taran

Hopefully we'll get direct grants. on another forum I read that many people who lodged in early august got they visas in less than 2 months. We might be lucky too. Cheers

Hello peeps I thought of starting this thread so that we can support each other through this process. We applied for 190 visa on 24/09/2015. We have finished uploading all the documents including PCC, medicals etc. Now, we are waiting patiently. Anyone else here who has recently applied for 190 visa? Thanks and Regards Taran

Hi peeps The EOI which we lodged summed up to 70 points which included claiming 5 points from overseas skilled work. Now, I am thinking not to claim these 5 points due to the hassle of requesting employment references from old employers especially one of them have moved on to being self employed and doesn't work for that job anymore. Do you think it can be detrimental to our visa application if I don't attach overseas employment references. According to the immigration website, I should attach evidence of all 70 points. I am concerned about this now. I am eagerly waiting to hear your opinions. Thanks and Regards' Taran

Any news guys?

I applied on July 10 and still waiting for approval. Thats like over 8 weeks. Maybe trying speaking to them and see what they suggest? Cheers

Thanks for getting back to us. 6 weeks seem too long. Sorry getting impatient here. So another 12 weeks and you become residents of Australia.
