Processing time for successful EOI invitee
Hi Experts,
can anyone suggest the processing time for successful EOI invitee?
For example, it used to take 12 months for sc189. SkillSelect says it will be more responsive with EOI, but how long exactly is more responsive?
many thanks in advance
John

Re: Processing time for successful EOI invitee
Hi Experts,
can anyone suggest the processing time for successful EOI invitee? No idea. It's only been going since July, so there's no way anyone will be able to really know that. Plus it's not a timeline site.
For example, it used to take 12 months for sc189. SkillSelect says it will be more responsive with EOI, but how long exactly is more responsive? No it didn't. The 189 was introduced on the 1st July, so it didn't take 12 months to process before as it didn't exist.
many thanks in advance

Re: Processing time for successful EOI invitee
I get the processing time from this website:
http://www.immi.gov.au/about/charter.../visas/8.0.htm
As you said, the new rule just came out, not much knowledge is out there. My lawyer told me it is going to be 1-2 months, it is optimistic you think?

There have been some SkillSelect grants already, but as far as I'm aware they were 190s. I think one to two months is probably a bit optimistic.

Re: Processing time for successful EOI invitee
The processing times on the website don't change the fact that the 189 didn't exist until July, so it would be impossible for it to have taken 12 months to process before.

Re: Processing time for successful EOI invitee
They haven't been processed during the EoI - that part is automated. The real processing starts once you've lodged your application. There are checks on employment & security etc. Things need to be verified.
