PR Granted same day - 22nd April

Thrilled, and good luck to those waiting

Hi there

were you advised in your own immiaccount the nomination had been approved ?

No, my migration agent called me and then sent me the nomination grant letter. On my immi account it just says 'in progress' still, but just that it was updated on 31/03/14

So quick, lucky

what is your original country?

are you form low risk country?

From UK, so low risk...my migration agent actually said she was really surprised at how quick the case had been picked up. It was non-decision ready also. I think there is no rhyme or reason, just pure luck!

Update!

In Progress on Immi Account

NOMINATION APPROVED March 31st 2014, CO has also requested medical and has checked over all visa. Has told my MA once medicals are uplaoded onto Medibank, she can release the visa grant

So in total 7 weeks for nomination approval. Medical booked for April 14th. Fingers crossed the visa wont be much longer after that! Seems very quick...
