Hello all; I have a query if anyone can guide me on this. I lodged my 189 visa application in December 2024. I have already submitted all the reference letters and job related documents at the time of visa lodgment. In January 2025, I moved to gulf as i got a new job there. I wanted to ask that is it necessary to inform DoHA about my new job while I have already provided all the documents for the points which I claimed? I was told by someone that after visa lodgment, my claimed points are already locked so no need to inform DoHA about new job. Moreover, I have not submitted form 80 yet, will it be a problem if DoHA asks for form 80 and then I had to mention about my travel to gulf? A detailed response will be highly appreciated as i am quite anxious now.

@gregor @biotechy, dear I lodged my 189 visa on 1st December 2024. My application status in Immi account is still "Received". Should I assume that my application is still not been reviewed by DoHa or is it normal thing? Also, I have not received any s56 or commencement email yet. Thanks in advance for your prompt responses and support.

@gregormendel dear when can we get FOI for April 2025? Any expected date?

Dear @gregormendel, now as Labour party has won the elections, what's your take on migration strategies in next FY especially the visa processing timelines? Furthermore, we people who have lodged 189 visa application in Nov-Dec 2024, can we expect grant in first quarter of next FY? Thanks as always for your kind support and swift response.

@gregormendel Do you think that new elections will have impact on grants in the next FY? specially the applications which are lodged this FY.

@gregormendel kindly give some insights about getting grant this FY for 189, Electrical Engineer with visa lodged on 01-12-2024. I have not received any s56 yet as PCC and Medicals already done. Should I remain hopeful for this FY?
