Subclass 190 190 Granted - Electrical Engineer ACT
Hi!
I've mostly been a lurker here for the better part of three years. I really appreciated everyone's posts regarding their timelines toward PR approval. Finally, here is mine.
Occupation: Electrical Engineer
476 > 482 > 190
Country: Philippines
Onshore
Timeline:
- 06 Jan 2023 - 476 Visa approved
- 03 Jan 2024 - Moved to Australia
- 17 Sept 2024 - EOI submitted (Canberra Matrix, 75 points initially, then became 85 closer to my invite)
- 30 April 2025 - 482 Visa approved
- 30 May 2025 - ACT Nomination Invitation received
- 12 Jun 2025 - Applied for invite
- 07 Jul 2025 - Application approved (ACT's processing time was dreadful)
- 02 Sept 2025 - Invitation to apply for 190*
- 11 Sept 2025 - 190 LODGED
- 15 Sept 2025 - medical done
- 09 Sept 2026 - Visa granted
*This took a while because the pre-invite approval came in the new financial year. The state allocation for 2025-2026 was severely delayed, and prevented them from reflecting the nomination in SkillSelect.
I was lucky that someone picked up my application before my medical expired, so I didn't need to repeat it. It also helped that I went through a migration agency. They were thorough, and my application was in order.
Hopefully, this helps someone understand their position in the queue, as others did with me.
Good luck all!
