Good luck for today people. I joined this forum Wednesday morning and got my PR Wednesday afternoon. It's a shame I didn't join earlier. I will be checking in on all your progress though.

I don't think it should be locked. I found the sheet before I found this forum and was using it. If it's locked and people don't use this forum, they will not update their info. If they don't update their info it's pretty discouraging

Dude to be honest i got no clue, i just follow you guys with it. You guys are guru in spreadsheets. But i would highly recommend to lock it and let admin edit it and get people to read only

the only problem with that is like me, I stumbled across the spreadsheet a whilst ago and didn't know it had been superseded with a new one until an extensive google search dropped me here and I took it from someones signature. Then I joined pomsinoz.com. After that I realised I couldn't edit the sheet but realised about the html suffix on the URL. Because I was a noob and didn't know who was responsible for the sheet, I wasn't going to bother updating it. This obviously doesn't help anyone. It's catch 22 because you don't want it to get messed up either. Maybe Admins should put contact details on the sheet if they do lock it?

does anyone know what I need to do now I have transitioned from 457 to PR? I assume I will need to get a driving licence. I'm not sure what else I need to do. I'm on reciprocal health with Medicare.

jazz and benny which spreadsheet is the best one i think there are 2-3 spreadsheets ??

Hey,

your link is the same as the one I use to Update. However, if you want to update the spreadsheet you can't with your link because it's a HTML view

below is the link you have in your signature. The bottom one is the same sheet; only it's in an editable view.

Cheers

Thank You... Now what am I going to do when I'm supposed to be working? I normally check immi site every hour haha. Anxiety has gone.

Oh and for anyone's benefit. I actually have a criminal record from the UK from a few years ago. (Very long boring story about police stopping me randomly and arresting me for having a knife in my glove box). I did get an absolute discharge mind. I've declared this all the way through from 457 application and everytime I leave and return to Australia I get pulled into a room to check my details. This didn't affect my application at all. i was not asked for further documents or clarification. Believe you me I was worried about this.

Congrats , were u applied nomination and visa together. Also do u lives in vic.

whats is your occupation and processing center

thank you!! We did submit the visa the same day as the nomination. YOU should be any day now. Only two days after us. My partner is a midwife (his hospital sponsored us) we live in Sydney and VIC was the processing centre.

Congrats @86ajsc what processing centre and occupation please. Wish y luck for ur future

Cheers @Jazzcrave I believe it was VIC as the processing centre (it says on the the visa grant along with the worker). We were sponsored by my partners employer. He is a midwife. I have updated the timeline in September docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kY0XVAWzNjXAxAHC5-PPol_h4Lyl_wcz66c7BUelvXc look for Aaron down the list.

I had been checking fastidiously today because I finally found the new timeline google sheet. Then realised people in my block were being approved. i'd assumed it would be next week but as I left work i got the email. Anxiety has lifted

Congratulations Nicole and Floret enjoy guys hope they finish September before Ester

The link to the timeline doc you have in your signature won't be able to be used if people want to edit their timelines. The "/htmlview?pli=1#" needs to be removed.

Hi Guys,

 

Our nomination and visa application was submitted in October 2015. I notice that in the Google Spreadsheet that there appear to be fewer 186 visa applications in September and October. While the spreadsheet probably isn't representative of all those queuing up for a 186 visa I am hoping it indicates there may be fewer applications during September and October - therefore, does this mean that application processing may start to pick up speed? What's your opinion?

Hi Felix, I just updated the Spreadsheet, I submitted my application 7th September 2015 and got approved this afternoon!! They are definitely working through August and September quickly!! July was a massive month and took them seven weeks to get through.

Hi, I had been using this /stats/aus/skillselect-ens-186 and I couldn't understand why it wasn't being updated! I've just spotted the new link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...htmlview?pli=1 How do I gain access to add in my info?

Hey Thumbelina your using a HTML link. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kY0XVAWzNjXAxAHC5-PPol_h4Lyl_wcz66c7BUelvXc I removed the HTMLVIEW from the end of the url and bobs your uncle it's editable. Thanks for finding this though. You helped a lot of people still stuck on the old thread.

Hey, have you figured this out yet? You helped me a great deal. I have been checking the other doc for weeks wondering why it wasn't being updated. I want to also update my info. In the mean time if others are updating theirs I suppose it helps. I applied 7th September 2015 both nomination and application. They've approved a 3rd and 4th September. I hope I'm next week
