189 Granted
Happy to report, my 189 visa was granted yesterday. Must say thanks to these forums, valuable advice over the years has help immensely in understanding the entire process.
- Partner is Secondary School Teacher (Main applicant).
- Applied in December 2012.
- Invite for Medicals in March.
- Found us between medical systems in April.
- Granted April 30th!
We did this alone, no agent -the process was very easy, anyone who is debating whether to use an agent or go alone. As long as you got time and energy I would save the money and go alone.
Now to start planning our move..

Thanks - my point score was only 65.
But I guess my age, my o/h is an experienced IT teacher and I have two kids that will contribute to the Tax system in a few years helped!
