To be honest I used an old version of that checklist, the one with "Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186), July 2012" at the bottom of every page. In that checklist there is no mention of the form 80.

 

I attached the checklist I am referring to: [ATTACH]20673[/ATTACH]

I see. Thanks filippoit. However, I attached the latest version of the checklist and left the form 80 box uncheck. I have attached the police clearance check certificates. See how it goes. Good luck to everyone is waiting and so do I.

Thanks @loke!

 

Yes, with "no MA" I mean I didn't use a "Migration Agent".

 

With "Decision Ready" I mean I attached every relevant document according to this checklist, then I also attached that checklist with the corresponding boxes ticked as "decision ready / checklist" document... or something like that. I cannot confirm the exact document type now because I can't get into the system anymore with my TRN! (w00t)

Good idea! Thanks @filippoit for telling me this. I actually have attached every relevant document that required, but I did not attached the checklist with the corresponding boxes ticked as "decision ready / checklist" document. I will do it now!

One more question for you filippoit. Under "Character requirements" of the checklist, I have ticked the first box which is the police good conduct certificate. But the second check box is "completed Form 80 ...". Did you leave it uncheck as you mentioned no Form 80? Thanks.

Thanks for the providing the great info here.

Btw, what do you mean DR with Med results? is the DR = Decision Ready? You mentioned no MA, from my understanding DR is required to go through MA.

Hi All,

I got my PR granted today - im ecstatic!

 

Timeline:-

Nomination submitted - 19/06/13

Visa type :- ENS Direct Entry (Engineering Technologist) - No MA used for either application or nomination

Application submitted - 08/08/2013

Nomination Approved :- 27/08/2013

Can't believe how quick it was - just goes to show no need to use MA's as they don't speed it up if you know what you're doing!

Congratz jon203! Did you submit the Form 80? I have filled up similar questions of Character assessment when doing the electronic visa application online. I wonder if the Form 80 is still required in this scenario?

Thanks.
