Edzi Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi, please can anyone help. I am thinking of updating my eoi as I failed to get an invite this time round due to occupations being reset on July 1st. I have requested a visa 189 but pondering as to whether to chose 190 for WA. I just have two questions:- 1 - When I have a visa 190 granted is it the same as 189 as in that you get the visa validated in the 1st year and then you have a further four years to emigrate? 2 - Do I have to get a job for this state nomination whilst I am in England? I was not sure by something I read. There was talk about having an offer of employment but I think that was for if people live in Australia. I am a nurse in England. Thank you. I was always going to go to WA but wanted to be open to moving anywhere so that my husband could be a traindriver as he is here in England. We have talked about it though and are prepared to stay in WA as it is the largest state and hope he gets a job. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edzi Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Also can I clarify. Is the visa 190 a permanent visa? I have only just decided to go ahead with this so I have not read up fully on this. I was all for going with the visa 189. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleymhale Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi I will answer your questions in Red below: 1 - When I have a visa 190 granted is it the same as 189 as in that you get the visa validated in the 1st year and then you have a further four years to emigrate? Yes you have one year from the grant date or medical date or police check date, whichever is the earliest to validate the visa, then it is a further 4 years. 2 - Do I have to get a job for this state nomination whilst I am in England? I was not sure by something I read. There was talk about having an offer of employment but I think that was for if people live in Australia. I am a nurse in England. You do not need a job before you enter. Many Employers will not consider you until you have the visa. But you are supposed to live in the sponsoring sate for the first 2 years. Thank you. I was always going to go to WA but wanted to be open to moving anywhere so that my husband could be a traindriver as he is here in England. We have talked about it though and are prepared to stay in WA as it is the largest state and hope he gets a job. Also can I clarify. Is the visa 190 a permanent visa? I have only just decided to go ahead with this so I have not read up fully on this. I was all for going with the visa 189 The 190 is a Permanent Residency Visa Hope this helps and good luck with your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
