@gregormendel for the below FAQ you have outlined documents that are required for claimed work experience:

"What documents are required to prove my claimed work experience for a 491/190/189 visa?"

For a 189 visa application do i need to attach all of the employment evidence sources or is 1 or 2 enough?

Any idea if they’re gonna process Oct ‘26 applications before clearing the Nov ‘25 backlog for 189?

Hi everyone, I have two quick questions regarding Victoria Subclass 491 onshore:

1) When was Contract Administrator last invited for the 491 visa in Victoria?

2) Which occupation is better to go with for a Victorian 491 EOI/ROI as an onshore applicant: Mechanical Engineer or Contract Administrator?

Thanks in advance

Has anyone non-Iranian who received a Subclass 189 invitation in the 7 November round still not received their visa grant? Or have most non-Iranian applicants from that round already been granted?
