Great thank-you for that - and congratulations!

Hi there - can anybody tell me if the 186 application requires 2 x passport photographs to be uploaded? Also did anybody upload colour copies of originals documents rather than having them certified? I've done this but wondering if its worth getting them certified still as all immigration info refers to certified copies. Many thanks.

Thankyou and fingers crossed you hear something soon!

My Sister put in her application to the Melbourne office about 5 weeks ago (186 temp transition herself plus defacto boyfriend) after her nomination was approved. She's had medicals requested today which I think is pretty quick! I recently put in my application same day as employer nomination - feels a really big risk doing it before nomination approval. Really hope I made the right decision!

Bless you! My mum has experienced the same but has 'lost' her two daughters to Australia. I didn't think she would ever visit but she is currently here on her third trip in three years! My parents don't have much money either but we help them out and in the future will do more and more plus make more frequent trips home. I'm now pregnant with my first and I will say feelings change and I haven't ruled out going back one day. I agree with technology now, contact is easy. I hate Skype but have a great mobile package and call/text home just like I did when living in the UK.

Your situation is very close to mine! I've been here 4 years on a 417, and 2 457s (first job was made redundant but the company redeployed and sponsored me in another similar role). Just applied for my 186 and hoping for a quick grant so that I can get paid parental leave when my baby arrives (though unlikely but stranger things have happened), my partner is Aussie so we can get the baby bonus if ours comes 2 weeks early as it is being scrapped come March 1st!! Hope you get your grant very soon

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I'm submitting my application next week - but I'm just wondering why people become so anxious when the estimated time given on the website is 6 months?
