Thanks everyone, appreciate all the love

@Ozy, I sent emails thrice, called twice sef,... On calls, they gave generic answers, I eventually got a reply to my mail on 28th April saying that no more documentation was required from me.... However it said nothing about when the decision would be made..

On this day, the chronology of a successful endeavor reads thus:

Special thanks to everyone who has contributed to this chapter in the story of my life. I really appreciate.

in conclusion - I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9 : 11)

God Bless

To the best of my knowledge, you actually have to apply before your 60 days are up,,, then suspend the application till the baby is born... At which point, you'll add the baby to the application

Why dem go dey review list twice in four months... Are they alright? Hope a review of lists won't affect people who have already applied.... Make dem no misbehave o..

happy4lucy:
can you believe that yesterday I try to do a Dummy EOI with 70points and was surprised I got invitation to apply for visa today... hehehehhe was surprised self.

is this always fast like this?

That is unfair on other people.... The dummy invitation is now wasted, whereas, that wasted invitation is the difference between someone somewhere in the world getting this PR, and missing it for life.....

imagine a situation where there is someone on the queue who should have been invited as the last person in that round, whose 33rd birthday is in two days time and will therefore lose 5 points that he can't recover FOR LIFE.

Just imagine such.... And that person will never know that his dream was denied by a Dummy EOI.

jayooh:

And you've not been contacted by any CO?

There was co contact on Feb 28th. Since then, radio silence.

Chai, mamajaz, see people dey discuss deadly diseases like say na gold

jayooh:
Bossnimz, your visa never show?
Abi I miss the good news?

You no miss am o. Na here I dey, just siddown dey look dem since February 14th... But nothing spoil, we've seen longer grants

.

Gracefulchild:
. Canada would have been a better option as my education as well as having siblings who are PRs automatically give me about 30 additional points going the Canadian route. I also won't have to bother about skills assessment and police report.

Not to rain on your parade, but Accountants require huge points for invitation at the moment, even 70 pointers wait ages for invitation... What you have outlined supports Canadian Express Entry better... Just my opinion though

metrecube:

VISA processing for single aplicants seem faster than married ones.

Not really. It all depends on the individual circumstance of the person and several other long factors, there are a number of single applicants on this thread who have been waiting a month and above.

40manlappy:

Seniors, help me "reason" this matter abeg. This is no #gmpc

Only way I dey really see am na if dem get kid of around 20 wey fit run the process and either take them along as dependant parents, or bring them with family visa later.. Cos without Age points, chai, e go hard..

Abi Mctowel01 wetin you feel?

babajigga:

So which means ur course of study could be removed at anytime..there is no point huddle for a course in the list that might still change

It means you should do your possible best to get invited within one year of doing assessment for any specific profession...... After you have been invited, no new decision affects you anymore.....

They review the list every year around May - July . Add and remove occupations as they see fit.

GRANT: 11/05/2017

Congratulations o

bellong:
I officially completed the final survey today which puts to an end, my two year moral obligation living in South Australia.

Congratulations Bro.

Usually, when application is finalized and EOI closed but there is no Grant email, , it means your case has been determined to be fully qualified for the visa, however allocation is full, so you can't get the visa grant and details yet.

Congratulations bro.

But Haba... This is weird o... Without submitting Medicals and PCC?

Probably there's something I am not understanding here

yoctek:
Bro, direct grant landed on Tuesday 2/5/17.......What stage are you now?

congrats. lodged 14th Feb... They are taking their time... .... you should drop a timeline on the thread.. it has become like a tradition to encourage others

yoctek:
Could you please advise on state(s) with the best chances of securing telecommunications related jobs. I am a telecom eng'r and will be arriving Australia soon on a PR (189) visa.

Long time.. you've gotten your grant? stopped seeing your comments on the other thread

Flee from every appearance of scams

Obiwannn:
Can someone comment on this please?

all those links are for 457 visas

akereconfi:

Been reading that 189 has stopped to commence 1st July this year

Read again. Or send a link, make we sef read am.

EA accepts student copy. I submitted student copy to them.. It was colored of course. .. With student copy written boldly across every page

I'm certain if a document is fully black and white, they'll assume its not original

You are not going to find 189 on that list. It requires an invitation

I think its down... Not working here, called two other people to verify...

mctowel01:

The initial nomination mail wont reflect as an ITA on skill select. The ITA shows only after submitting the necessary documents, paying an amount as the case may be and eventual approval by NSW

Precisely what I was going to say... And as long as the official skillselect ITA for 190 hasn't appeared,,, the EOI is still free for 189 invitation

To the best of my knowledge, No state invites someone who hasn't specifically selected them.., so ya, I think selecting All states practically renders the EOI useless.

No, he can't receive an ITA without knowing. If the email failed to enter, it would still be on his skillselect page.

Is he sure he hasn't lost points somewhere? Probably a birthday at the edge, like 32 changing to 33? ... That could be an explanation... Somehow, his DOE must have changed

EVERCUTE:
Russian permanent residency..

Russia?

Alphadoor:
Yes

Mehn, I thank God for EA o... These work experience requirements from other assessing bodies just shut door on so many of my guys sha

ACS guys, I just dey wonder,, if someone assesses a Certification like CCNP or Mcse or something,, is the work experience (2 years) still required?

.

The hustle is real...
