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.
