VISA Granted Today Onshore 80K salary Software Engineer 80+5 Points Pre Invite - 13 Nov 2024 Applied for Nomination - 24 Nov 2024 Further Document Requested 23 Jan Employment Contract and Super Statement Document Submitted: 5 Feb 2025 Final Invite Received : - 6 Feb 2025 S56 Request: 15th May 2026 (Skills assessment doc) S56 Submitted: 18th May 2026 Visa granted: Today - 15th July 4pm
189 Granted! ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฅนโฅ๏ธ Occupation: Statistician Points: 90 Skilled Employment (Onshore): More than 3 years (10 points) Skilled Partner: 10 points Superior English: 20 points Australian Education: 5 points Bachelorโs Degree: 15 points Age: 30 points Timeline * Invited: 13 November 2025 * Lodged: 27 November 2025 * Medical: 8 December 2025 * Application Commencement Email: 12 June 2026 * Grant: 15 July 2026 โ 12:09 pm No S56 request. My application status changed directly from Received to Finalised. There were a few aspects of my application that constantly gave me second thoughts throughout the process. The biggest one was claiming the one year of skilled employment that VETASSESS had deducted. Back in 2023, I actually missed out on invitations because, based on my understanding of the VETASSESS assessment at the time, I chose not to claim those 5 points. Before lodging my 189 application, I spent a considerable amount of time researching the migration legislation and sought professional advice from a registered migration agent. This clarified many of my doubts and gave me the confidence to claim the points I genuinely believed I was entitled to. To support the employment, I uploaded comprehensive evidence, including: * Payslips * ATO income statements * Bank statements * Superannuation summaries * Employment contracts * A detailed employer reference letter outlining my duties, salary, and hours worked

Itโs finally my turn! Been praying hard to get good news before I have to pay new BVB price lol. Did 90% of process myself (even secured state pre-invite myself). DoL: 21 February 2025 S56: 11 May 2026 (employment reference and bank statement) Submit S56: 27 May (I did myself as my agent took too long lol). Grant: 15 July 2026 (almost 17months) Occupation: Chef (work in nominated occupation), onshore, TAS.
All are onshore grants. When can we expect offshore grants
@gregormendel I think with the new offshore grant numbers the probability tracker for 491 priority isn't accurate enough. Maybe it's worth tracking offshore and onshore grants separately to produce more accurate estimates? Just a thought.
