Hi Guys
I have been looking at this forum for a couple of months, and Just got PR visa approved on 15/11/2013.
Here are some details I would like to share and hope they are helpful:
MY timeline :
DIAC Office : Melbourne
Visa Stream : ENS 186 Transition
Chinese Passport with 457 visa (Family of 3), Staying in New Zealand for past 10 years.(New Zealand PR)
Nomination lodged & application lodged together 10/09/2013.
Employer: One of the biggest utilies in Melbourne
Profession: Electrical Engineer with 5 years + experience in New Zealand & Australia, New Zealand Bachelor Degree.
(Completed PCC & Medical also uploaded all required documents) MA & Direct Entry
Visa Granted on 15/11/2013
I didn't hear anything from DIAC while waiting and was a little bit stressed, as my kid will be sent to Kindergarden early next year and We need Rebate!!
Good luck to all still waiting - btw, I have to say my MA are really professional. They are the company's one and helped me with getting VISA 457 as well before I came to OZ.
