Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175)

[vijaypalrana]

Hello Friends,

I am planning to apply for the "Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175)" category of VISA. I have done my basic homework from the australian government's immigration department website.

I have a question regarding the processing time for this category. I have got inputs from various resources and am confused. Some say it takes 6 months and some say it can take upto 18 months.

Would like to know from people out here who have applied already whats the approx average time it will take for processing.

Your inputs are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the same.

With Best Regards,
Vijay

The time depends on many factors.

Your case complexity , your nationality , High Risk or Low Risk country , documents needed , ...
