Hi everyone, I need some advice about my newbornโ€™s visa situation.

I was granted my 190 permanent residency visa on 14 September 2025, but my baby was born a few days earlier on 10 September 2025, when I was still on a 485 visa.

Because she was born before my PR was granted, I wasnโ€™t able to include her in the 190 application. I havenโ€™t registered her birth yet, and I also havenโ€™t added her to my visa application.

I have a few questions Iโ€™m hoping someone might help with: 1. What is my babyโ€™s visa status right now? 2. What do I do to make her our dependent on 190? Do I need to lodge a child visa (subclass 802) for her so she can get permanent residency like me? 3. Do I need to inform DOHA? Whatโ€™s the correct process to notify the DOHA about her birth? 4. In the meantime, is my baby considered to be holding the same visa I had at the time of her birth (subclass 485)?

Any advice or experience from others who have been through a similar situation would be much appreciated ๐Ÿ™

@gregormendel, Based on DHA's current approach, it seems that the offshore/onshore separation (like priority/non-priority) should be added to the chart again.

Hi All,

Bit of a random question but if the status of my visa application (491 QLD sponsored) has always been "Further Assessment" since I first completed the request for medicals, does it mean I will not get a s56 for re-medicals or not ?

Thanks

@yohanna_nassiem 6D ago Updated 6D ago

I am assessed as Electrical Engineer code (233311) list (MLTSSL, CSOL) and I would like to assess my wife, we have two options:

Customer Service Manager code (149212) list (STSOL)

Or Financial Investment Adviser code (222311) list (STSOL, CSOL)

What I understand is that I can apply for visa 189, but I cannot claim points for her assessment because her occupation is not on the 189 list.

But when applying for 190 or 491, which occupation is better? Should I choose Financial Investment Adviser since this occupation and Electrical Engineer are both on the CSOL list.

Or can I choose Customer Service Manager which is on the STSOL list, while mine is on the CSOL list, and still claim her 5 partner skill points normally for 190 or 491?

and also I i will submit EOI for her, which occupation is better in invitation rounds for her ??

Processing times 190 @gregormendel or @biotechy this might sound silly but I am trying to understand the reason that the visas arent granted or even opened in the same order as they were lodged (im talking non priority). Like are they randomly picked up by the officers? I thought it is done in order and just whatever case is picked up and closed the next in line is being picked up? But since I see visas lodged later than mine being granted, and some that are logged before me are not, I dont get the process. I am not complaining just trying to get my head around it haha. Thanks for any insight!
