Thank you for the update. I read the story at the time but didn't have anything to contribute, but it's great to hear how it panned out.

Perfect! Thanks for the help!

I am going to apply for my Citizenship next month! I have lived in Australia since 2019, I become PR in Feb 2023. For my PR visa, I provided a UK police check. This this police check was issued I have not left Australia. Would I still need a new UK police check please? Thank You

I have seen people been requested multiple documents. So I would assume they check it all.

I also had mine done in Manchester in 2018. They wouldn't tell me how mine went!

These are a few in no particular order https://www.pinoyau.com/ https://www.ozimmigration.com/ https://www.suncoastmigration.com/ https://playfair.com.au/team/george-lombard/

Timing is key here. You need to speak to a new, good migration agent. There are plenty on this site who come highly recommended. I don't believe any human rights have been breached here. Spend what time you have to focus on the best short term outcome.

They didn't. The OP was on BVA and applied for BVB. However, the application was still in progress and they left the country. As they still held BVA and left Australia it was automatically cancelled (as stated here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/bridging-visa-a-010#About). leaving them without any active visa at all. The BVB application will now be refused (if it hasn't already) as there is no active BVA in place. As above

Opening an account in the Isle Of Man gets around this but they use the UK system.

I agree to a point. But humidity comes into this. A 40c day in Adelaide is manageable and isn't that bad. In Brisbane it's a lot harder.

Waiting iit something you need to get used to. I was waiting just short of 2 years from application to grant for my PR.

The warm weather started quite late this year. When it did here it wasn't here for long or hot at all. Previous years it has been much warmer for longer. It seem's you came on a "bad" year.

Thanks guys!

This is a retrospective processing time of past applications. It isn't an indication of the future. I applied for an 887. The processing time was 4 months, it took me 2 years....
