@gregor @biotechy, dear I lodged my 189 visa on 1st December 2024. My application status in Immi account is still "Received". Should I assume that my application is still not been reviewed by DoHa or is it normal thing? Also, I have not received any s56 or commencement email yet. Thanks in advance for your prompt responses and support.
Can I get refused of invitation because of how I claimed my degrees?
I got a Tasmanian pre-invite and submitted my application to state nomination recently. I just realized something.
Before coming to Australia, I had a 4-year American degree. I had the first 1.5 years at one university and transferred to another university for the rest 2.5 years, and I just realized I just put the 4 years into one single university, though my courses from both universities are shown on the transcript of the university that conferred my bachelor degree.
Then in Australia, I had a non-Tasmanian master degree, yet I switched my major in the middle of the degree, yet I just raelized I just only wrote the final degree conferred, not including the degree I did not finish before switching to the new major, though I included my whole time in the non-Tasmanian university studying both the initial degree and the later degree I completed.
Then I came to Tasmania and had a 2-year full-time master degree, no switch of major, fully present in Tasmania.
I claimed to have Australian qualification(s) at bachelor or master level, because I did finish two masters in Australia, and I claim to have Tasmanian qualification, because one of my two Australian masters is from Tasmania. Can the information I provided be considered incomplete or incorrect information? What will they do? If they do something, what are my options?
Please note, from my understanding, I did not over-claim any points, since I have Tasmanian qualifications to back up my claim for Australian qualification points and regional study points, unless I got it wrong.
Subject: Query Regarding NSW 190 Chances
Hi Ma'am,
I hope you're well.
Could you please assess my chances of receiving an NSW 190 invitation for the following occupations:
Engineering Technologist Software Engineer Systems Analyst Software and Applications Programmers (nec) ICT Security Specialist Profile Summary:

Thank you!
Saw this on Facebook:
I spoke with the DOHA Case Officer regarding 191. ... X The response was that they are not currently processing any grants. Instead, their focus is on strategizing future grants. The Case Officers (COs) are assisting the administration in finalizing quotas, as they are aiming to allocate a 4-year quota instead of the usual 1-year quota. Aside from a few COs handling visitor and some PR visas, the majority are currently supporting the quota finalization process. This is expected to continue until end-July or early August. After that, the department will begin processing applications based on Ministerial Order 105.
Just wondering if its true?
Can someone help me do the 190 math here?
Using the latest spreadsheet, I can see there were around 35000 on-hand cases at the start of the 2024-2025 financial year.
I can also see by the end of May, there had been roughly 25000 new applications made in the same financial year, plus about 33000 grants and a few hundreds of refusals and withdrawals.
Yet, there are around 31000 on-hand cases in total.
So, if the number of grants, refusals, and withdrawals are 8000-9000 higher than the number of 190 visa lodgements, why do we only see a 4000 decline of on-hand cases?
What did I get wrong?
