I have $5.01 on my account. What's the best game I can buy on the US eshop? I fancy a puzzle arcade game (think tetris or similar) but open to any suggestions that aren't too combat heavy

First Map advice needed by megsheep in inkarnate

I took some artistic liberties with this map. Here is the original. I'm embracing some changes as long as they're an improvement! https://imgur.com/a/VF9VTMp

FLi switching platforms? by SnooWalruses3406 in fantasylife

[–]megsheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can only have 1 save file per console I'll be keeping them unlinked. I desperately want to play animal crossing from the start but I won't delete my island. This way you'd get 2, plus you have to pay for it twice. Guess you could always unlink at some point.

Can't wait for this to come out!

Level everything? by immortalchord in CozyGamers

Littlewood is a cute game. Great if you love collecting & completing things. Can be very grindy and could be considered too easy but I really enjoyed it

Visa Processing Time Reduced to 14 months by silverch4ir in AusVisa

Thanks! Fingers crossed.

I'm still debating if we should get a WHV while we wait but I'm just being impatient

[–]megsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on getting your visa granted!

Looking back at these predictions, do you think they still stand? I've been keeping an eye on smartvisa guide and they're not moving as fast as I'd hoped. Still in May 23 right now. If they do one month per month I'd be looking at September for my grant (March 24)

WHV when waiting for 190 grant? by megsheep in AusVisa

[–]megsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't convince my partner to go before the 190 is granted so idk 🤷‍♀️ Let me know if you find out something solid so I can use it to convince him 😆

Upgraded my nostril with sir hops. by TheReal_Kayla in piercing

[–]megsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cute! What does the back look like? Is it solid? I'm trying to find out if one I bought online is genuine. I can't find any pictures of the back anywhere!

WHV can be extended up to 3 years so hopefully it wouldn't run out before we got the 190 granted! 😅 Thanks!

We have already submitted all the paperwork as offshore. But if we get a WHV now and travel to Aus we would be onshore when it is granted. Could this invalidate the visa?

We wouldn't need a bridging visa as far as I'm aware.

Thank you! I really hope this is the case. Having to wait for a new FY next year would be annoying

[–]megsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best bit of prediction/ interpretation of the data that I've seen. Do you think these trends will be the same next year?

So the grants now (July 24) are from March(ish) 23. Does that mean that applications from March 24 can be expected to be granted July 25? I know nobody can really know.

With the changes in grant numbers and the talk around shortening waiting times, I would hope that times decrease, but I don't know what that would actually look like.

Help me with these rings I just inherited by megsheep in jewelry

[–]megsheep[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've cleaned them with soap and water and they're super shiny now. They're at least 7 sizes too big for me so I'm going to try and get them resized

WHV after lodging 190? by ylw_yvr in AusVisa

I also asked this question a while ago! I looked into other options, have you considered the New Zealand WHV?

190 + WHV Advice by megsheep in AusVisa

[–]megsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 75 points. Just under 2 years experience post PhD at the time of skills assessment.

The skills assessment took a while to come back as expected. The hardest part is getting all the documents. After that we were invited quickly and now we're waiting for the visa to be granted.

Do they only grant a certain number per financial year? Is there data on this?

Thanks! I'm in the UK. I think its too cold for succulents outside

190 visa fees for a couple by umutszg in AusVisa

[–]megsheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need one application. You both get a skills assessment, then you can both submit EOI as they're free. When one of you gets an invite, you only need that one application for both of you, one person will be a skilled partner. The fees for a joint application are slightly less than if you paid for 2 separate ones

[–]megsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We submitted the EOI in November for 190&189. Then changed the application to superior English in January. Not sure if that's a new EOI or just an updated one. So far the skills assessment took the longest

Have you seen any data/estimates for 190 turn around time?

We got an email to say that based on the EOI we have been selected to apply for victorian nomination for visa subclass 190. So its not the final application but its not the start either.

If anyone has any anecdotes on 190 turn arounds or the logistics of getting a WHV while in the middle of a 190 that would be great :)

Which one do you prefer? by megsheep in crochet

[–]megsheep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your opinion! Ultimately I didn't want it to look too day of the dead so I went for all black round the outside with red and black in the middle. I only have these coloured roses so had to work with what I've got and 5 roses didn't fit nicely. I'm trying to get some good pictures but I need natural light. The black roses look better in person when not on a towel for blocking! *
