Stream-specific guide
Subclass 190 processing time after state nomination
A Skilled Nominated visa involves a state or territory nomination stage and a separate Home Affairs visa stage. The current Subclass 190 processing-time checkpoint begins with the lodged visa application, not the original EOI or nomination registration.
State nomination time sits outside this calculator
States and territories run their own nomination processes and timelines. Once nominated and invited, the federal Subclass 190 application is lodged with Home Affairs; the figures on this page relate to that visa-processing stage.
Which date should I enter?
Use the date the Subclass 190 visa application was lodged after nomination and invitation.
50% processed does not mean your application is half complete
These percentages describe recently decided applications, not progress inside one individual case.
