Have they paused 190 grants?? Seems like they are processing all months except applications lodged in feb 2025. @gregormendel
yeah, been waiting for news. Huhu
What I've noticed is that grants have mostly stopped for applications after January 2025 with a few exceptions of from early Feb (2x grants posted for applications from 3/02/2025 few days ago). Still see some grants from Dec and Jan but they're mostly ones that had pending s56 reviews. Not sure what the remaining quota is like. Would love to know your thoughts @gregormendel @biotechy
we have to wait for feb and mar FOI to get an idea of the remaining quota.
mio, anup, blackbuba: I hope Feb FOI comes this week.
its been more than 12 weeks, i am waiting for outcome of my state nomination application VIC 190. I have sent an email for update and they will respond me within 5 working days. Has anyone experienced this before? @gregormendel
