can you clarify if the visa grant date is 21 Oct 2025, not 21 May 2025? I have seen his separate comment here in this thread :)
Yep sorry about the error. Can confirm the grant date is 21/10/2025.
@mohakgarg10 thanks for confirming!

Thanks all. I had also made another slight error. My age points were 30 not 25 so my overall points are 90. I've fixed it in my profile. Thanks for all your assistance!

Will there be any invitation rounds for NSW this year before Christmas?
there is one this week as per their announcement.
this week for 190
I mean a proper round of invitation, this week's one is just 200 priority ones, where hardly people get any chance..
Your question is about "any invitation rounds for NSW". There may be no "proper" ones this FY at all and they may just keep giving interim allocations so that the backlog is significantly reduced.
So the federal government's announcement of same allocations does not hold true right? Few more doubts/queries.. 1. State allocations aren't released yet, leaving the current EOI applicants waiting.. 2. What is the current backlog and how do we know the backlog? Would this impact the NSW invitations until June'2026? 3. What would be the possibilities and other ways for people waiting for pre invite?

Finally got the golden email TAS 190 Onshore Loged 08/05/24 Granted 21/10/25 Occupation:- Motor Mechanic
@gregormendel We can see that May '24 190 applicants have started receiving grants. Given that there is not much backlog after this, can be hopeful that Nov 24 applicants can start receiving grants before the year end or early Feb '26?
from May to Oct will be quick, based on backlogs
Thanks @biotechy, safe to assume my timeline is a good approx?
No one can tell you what's safe to assume. All of these projections are speculative. But with 3000-3500 grants per month starting October it's highly likely that most of the Nov 24 (myself included) applicants will get their visas this calendar year as the backlog as of end of September (speculatively, assuming ~2500 grants in Sep) should be around 10000-10500 applicants.
Will there any invitation rounds for NSW this year ?
Indeed @zanysquirrel8433, if we get this months FOI data, will paint a much better picture of the actual scenario.
I think at this point it's pretty clear what's going to happen. September had more grants than August or July, October seems busier than September. Even if they keep giving around 1500-2000 grants per month for Sep/Oct, they would have to do a huge grant month of 5000+ grants sooner than later to catch up to their target of 33000 this FY.
Bu we still have June 2023 applicants waiting for grants, especially the 491s, I wonder if these have not been forgotten
Received S56 for Remedicals today DOL 2 May 2024 190 VIC OFFSHORE (IN)
May I know the date of your initial medical exam?
@bunnychitangle did they generate a new hapid ? What does the medical section in immi look like? Mime says no action required even though S56 says medical (and employment proofs).
@snappychicken8915 initial medical was on 14 May 2024
bunny, added. Please add s56 entry to your timeline too. Helps others.
@ddapzr I see that hap Id is not changed from what was there before. I see that immiaccount clearly states health examination required.
