How long is a piece of string is the answer. Quite a common one I regret. Think 18 months and you might be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't count on it.

How long it will take will very much depend on the 'Primary Applicants' occupation. Firstly which skills assessment body will do the assessment (as they all take a different amount of time ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months!) Then it will depend if the occupation is on the CSL or not and if state sponsorship is available. Depending on the above the process could be 6 months or well over a year!

Feel free to contact me if you require any further advice.
