Anonymous notes on an application for NIV. Not immigration advice.

Status: NSW acknowledged my Registration of Interest (ROI) under the Innovative Investor route.

Dates: Acknowledgement received on 17 August 2025 (London) / 18 August 2025 (NSW) – within one hour of submission.

Validity: an ROI remains active for six months and thereafter expires. During that time, I cannot amend my ROI.

What happens next:
If I am selected, I will get an invite to apply with the next steps outlined. If I am not selected by expiry, then I'd have to re-apply.

What you should known:
Keep a copy of what you submit, because once you hit submit, it is gone. The portal does not show you what you submitted.

What I'll do now:
I'll develop my supporting evidence by reference to the NSW website guidelines, just in case I am invited. I’ll post again only at a concrete milestone (request for info, invitation to apply, interview, decision), with dates in both London and NSW time.

Practical, not promotional – definitely not immigration advice.
