hello to everyone,

 

great forum with a lot of good info!

 

I'm like all of you waiting for the answer from 186 Direct Entry Stream. I've applied with all the documents (including Medicals and Police Clearance) on 19 March using a Migration Agent. Still waiting..

 

question for those who received their PR: have there been some kind of controls? Like calling your work place, checking your address ecc ecc

 

Because I'm thinking of moving and I'm not sure if I should notify that my address has changed... from the Immi website it says that I should

 

any suggestions? I mean, if they don't really go and knock on your house door...

 

Thanks for the help

Hi Blekm,

I actually moved house during my application process - All I did was complete a change of address form (which you can get from the immi website) and emailed it to them. It will not affect your application at all - just complete the form and send it in...... when My PR was granted the new address was on there... all my documents/attachments etc had my old address on them and all was fine.

Good Luck!

Well... The day finally came for me and my partner! After being in Australia since 2009 on working holiday visa's and 457 visa we actuall became residents yesterday..My timeline below

Nomination lodged: 26 February 2014

Application Lodged: 28 March 2014 (all docs including Medicals)

Nomination Approved: 19 May 2014

Application Approved: 19 May 2014 (2hrs after Nomination)

Total is 82 days from start to finish. I was on 186 Transition Scheme not using a migration agent. Didnt hear a peep from immigration throughout, just had the email saying GRANTED!! Such an amazing feeling.

Good luck to all those waiting and going through the process.... its worth it in the end! x
