u/DoubleOConnor

80 points, onshore, 30 years old from the U.K. 7 years relevant work experience from home and 3 years working as a fitter in Australia on a WHV.

EOI submitted 05/12/2025. Invited 04/06/2026.

Currently on a bridging visa B linked to my 186 employer sponsored visa application as my 3rd year WHV ran out on 30/05/2026…

I will now submit my 189 application and withdraw the 186, my agent says I maybe able to get a refund for the visa fee.

I heard there hadn’t been any fitters invited for a while and had given up hope.

Any other fitters or similar roles revived their invitations?

Good luck to all on your migration journeys!
