If this priority wise its going to be processed, then I think I might need to wait for another 8-10 months for sure! Provided based on the border closure and vaccine availability 🙄😌

I have been checking https://myimmitracker.com/ for 489 and found that latest 489 off shore visa granted on 27th October 2020 for ANZSCO 261112, which is a positive news so far. Lets keep our fingers crossed and not loose hope. We all are definitely going to make it.

Hi,

I have a doubt with respect to my situation. I'm waiting for my grant as others for a longer period now.

But my wife and kid got stuck overseas. Considering the situation, though I'm in Australia, will my application processed based on the covid situation?

Cheers!

All applications are being processes based on certain priorities so it will take time

Hello All,

Many congratulations to all my friends who got their visa grants recently.

Could somebody share their experience of receiving 190 grant (offshore) recently, especially after ope of borders. I have been waiting since June 2019 for my grant. The wait just keeps getting long. Any kind of feedback or reply would be appreciated.

Regards
Manna

I guess we offshore candidates are in the same boat. Hopefully the grants start coming in soon.

All the best to you Tanvi.

Hi Guys,

Any luck with the grants recently? Haven't heard about any 189-190 grants recently. With the border restrictions eased, the processing should be happening at a faster pace hopefully.

Any kind of feedback would be appreciated.

Best Regards
Manna

Consider before posting:
  • Do not post the same thing in multiple places.
  • No personal contact and/or non-English phrase is allowed.
  • Always post in a relevant thread or open a new one.
  • Better to use the reactions in a post to congratulate/thank.
