Got my 186 visa granted yesterday evening! Yipee!!!!!

Mine was a "Decision Ready Application" submitted by migration agent (selected by my organization)

Timelines and other details

+++++++++++++++++

Application submitted to Paramatta office Sydney

25 Nov 2013- Application along with Nomination, medicals, Education in English (college certificates) documents

26 Nov 2013- Acknowledgement received with bridging Visa

5 March 2014- Visa Granted

As December was the holiday month, I am sure not much happened around that time, but I was hopeful about my timelines as my documents were appropriate and correct.

I wish you all a very good luck, I am sure most of you all will get yours very soon! Take care and have wonderful times in Australia!

Hi

Congratulations on a timely Visa processing. My 186 ENS was lodged on the 26th of November 2014 along with Medicals, all documents and Employer nomination and indeed it was through a registered MARA agent chosen by my organization.

How did you manage to see the status? They didn't share any information about the login or site with me where I could see the current status of my application.

Please suggest!

Visa granted today :jiggy:

 

Medicals were uploaded by Medibank clinic in Melbourne on 16th Dec and a week or so later their status changed on the evisa site to "No health examination is required for this person... etc".

Christmas and New Year came and went with no news, so yesterday I sent a polite email to our CO just to nudge them in the general direction of our now complete application, that seemed to work as this morning the grant email arrived.

 

The whole process has taken 97 days from the submission of the nomination and 80 from submission of application.

 

Good luck and fingers crossed to everyone else.
