A day late for my birthday present, but waiting 204 days, and after 9 years on a 457, we have finally received the good news. Wow,wow,wow!! Congratulations to l the others who've made this journey and good luck to those waiting.

Our was also on 13th August!! 200 days...

Congrats Starlord. 190 days and counting for us... grrrrr

240 days!!! OMG, we are at 190 days... Congratulations bobygray

Thanks Zet01.

I can't seem to find a spreadsheet with the 186 visa timelines. Does anyone know how to find it?

Our application was acknowledged on 13th August....so anxious with this long wait! I see there are others from August also waiting, hope it's not long to go.

Thanks Quinkla. I'll try get a younger person to help them out on the other side.

My parents are coming to visit in December and I wanted to apply for the e-visa for them. Just realized that I need to set up an Immi account. I wonder if I could use my usual/old account that I used to apply for my visa or should I set up a different account.

They mention "you need to be out of Australia to apply for this visa". Technically I'm here but would be applying for my parents who are overseas. Hope I don't get into trouble, but my parents are too worried about doing it themselves and getting things wrong!

Anyone done it this way?

Thanks Maggie May. Our 457 expires in Nov 2017, in that case there would be no problem to travel if the PR comes through while we are away from Australia.

My husband's company will be submitting the application for Visa 186 (from 457) before the end of the month.

We were planning on taking a short holiday outside Australia, at the end of August, but I don't know if are actually allowed to travel while waiting for the visa to come through.

Any problem with that, or what if the visa is granted while we are away?

Thanks

Thanks again.

Thanks Rammygirl. The Immigration site just mentions blood test for HIV, nothing else.

it would be for the 186 Employer Nomination, we have been in Australia a few years already, and just visited Europe a few months ago. No piercing or tattoos either... I was just wondering if it included cholesterol and blood sugar and things like that.

Hi, does anyone know what type of blood tests are involved in the Medical examination? And how long before you get your results? Thanks
