Hi my name is Debbie and am a new member. I would like to ask if anyone knows how long the 189 visa for New Zealanders takes once it's been submitted. ThanksI applied Oct 2019 and got it exactly 6 months later, Apr 2020. I was not contacted by anyone asking for more information or anything like that, because I submitted every thing they needed (police certs, medicals etc) at the time of application. So the only correspondence I got was an email asking to pay the rest of the fee, I paid it and it was granted within the next few minutes. But checking the processing times now, it says 14-24 months... could be because of covid? Still, that seems excessive. Hope you won't have to wait that long!
